    They are extremely difficult to ride. Especially if you don't already know how to surf/skate/wakeboard/etc.. One thing you seem to have mastered is safetly falling off. You often see surfers 'wipe out' and it looks totally random, but there is often some serious last second movements to aviod injury. Keep it up. Feels amazing once you get good.

      I am proficient at Wing foiling, and i feel sometimes already knowing how to surf or wakeboard can be a hindrance in initial progression (those sports relay a lot on back foot pressure). On the are there hand skiing and powder which Riley is an expert, can be a real help. I came from snowboarding to foiling and being able to be efficient on the pitch control on deeper conditions translate almost 1:1 to foiling.

    to pump foil you need to see-saw your feet: every motion is front-foot-first.
    Imagine each foot is in a different car of a rollercoaster, they're following the same path through the arc, but at different times.
    or it's like skate boarding over a bump.

  • @1over137
    @1over137 Před měsícem +28

    It looks like it behaves more like a bicycle. If you want to turn, yaw as you found out will cause an adverse roll the other way. However, to keep the board stable in the turn the stem needs to be leaned over such that the force remains directly down through the stem.
    So... to turn left, yaw right, allow the board to "fall" in the direction of turn (left) and then steer (left) into it to stop the roll.
    If you watch the boarders when doing a tight turn they are leaned over and to get out of the roll they kick the board to yaw it INTO the roll. Just like a "push steer" on a bike.

      You're right, except it lacks any of the automatic correction you get from the front fork of a bike. That's what makes it so difficult to master, it's not helping you by self stabilizing.

    • @1over137
      @1over137 Před měsícem

      @@chrisblake4198 Also lacks the gyroscopic effects on stability and control. It does gain the water surface/plain tension though.
      I wonder if there was a way to implement the "trailing" effect of the front fork "rake angle". Would it be as simple as a smaller hydrofoil out in front like a rudder? Mounted in such a way that it will naturally migrate towards "understeer" such as the rake on a motorcycle or "easy rider" bicycle.
      Something I only learnt recently, but professional race bikes have almost zero rake. I was a mountain bike guy and have ridden straight forked bikes, but never directly down forks. Some pro racing bikes have nearly vertical forks and only a small curve out at the bottom. They are known to be incredibly responsive, incredibly low drag but also incredible unstable. Not wise to ride them "no handed!"

  • @ferdynandkiepski5026
    @ferdynandkiepski5026 Před měsícem +14

    For inspiration you can look to foiling boats and catamarans. In terms of independence between speed and pitch/height you should probably be vectoring the thrust depending on how high the board is using a rotating engine mount. This would increase efficiency. In terms of making it work for a human though, adding engines onto the foil instead of props in the air would be the superior method. Ideally the batteries should be a part of the board i think. Though cooling would probably become a problem as the board in flight doesn't contact the water. The ESCs would probably be cooled the easiest if they were on the foil somehow. With you on top of it you dont need to think about controls at all. You changing your center of mass would be controlling the board. Also tweaking the distance between the foils, their location relative to the center of the board and their size has a large impact on how the board behaves. This is something you didn't include in the video, and that probably could have made your pitch problems easier to solve. Also depending on how big, heavy and fast your human carrying board ends up being, you might want to look at foil designs for kitefoiling or windfoiling as the speeds there are higher and in windsurfing the weight is way higher as well. Oh and get yourself a impact vest. It makes a world of difference when falling at high speeds. Though they aren't as good floatation devices in my experience.

It would be really cool to use that rig to test foils with. Then we could get much more controlled data on foil setups. Right now it's all about the way foils "feel" and very little standards to measure complete foil performance in the real world. How cool would it be to make a rc rig that would pump a foil! Imagine the data we could get from that! As always, thanks for the great content!

    I applaud your ingenuity and out of the box approach to problem solving. I’m wondering whether due to the density of water, if rather than controlling the movement with propellers above the board, if real time micro adjustments to the underwater foil’s angle of attack, based on height above the water would be a more elegant and efficient way to control the movement. I’d be delighted to collaborate.

  • @robinlange93
    @robinlange93 Před 20 dny

    Long time Kite / wing / surf foiler here, from my experience I think you should try using more counter steering with the props in the front. It should have been possible to get it working with just the weight shifter over the center of gravity and 3 props at the front for differential steering and speed+ height control. The sideways props to help the weight shifter are a genius hotfix but shouldn't be necessary.
    When you initiate a turn, you can do it by the roll axis, i.e the weight shifter, and by rudder; the differntial motors. But like a bicycle, if you want to initiate a left turn, you (mostly subconsciously) turn the handlebars slightly to the right for a short moment, which makes the bike ride to the right under your body, which makes it easier to "fall" into the left leaning for the left turn. There are nice videos about counter steering with bicycles, showing that you need the ability to steer right to initiate a left turn.
    Like "The counter intuitive physics of turning a bike" by minute physics.
    Same goes here with the foil board, and its the same for initiating a turn or getting out of a turn. If the board is leaning to the left alot and you want to get it back to level, you should steer right with the weight shifter, but left with the rudder; the differential steering with the props. In the video it looks like you tried getting the board level again by both steering the weight and the differential thrust to the same direction, or at least kept the heading straight while steering max with the weight shifter, which didn't help and didn't worked.
    Please try it out, as it is something you can try without rebuilding, just tempering with the steering programming, or try it manually. Would be interesting to see if this is enough to stop using the sideway props to help the weight shifter. They just look like unnecessary overkill to me, lol.
    Ah, yeah, in your demonstration at 5:21 you clearly showed mapping left weight shift together with the right prop turning on; which is basically rudder left. So you basically try to steer it like a car and force the balance, when you should use counter steering to balance and steer it like a bike.

Probably even closer would be a foiling windsurfer because of your aerodynamic roll control. You successfully created a vehicle with a very unique set of lift/thrust/stability interactions.

    That is so neat!! Well done! Did you get funny looks from people passing by? I have an e foil board and i use it in places here in Australia where they simply have not seen one before!! Having a foil board that flys without someone on it must be a first too!!!

    I've been thinking of this for a while!! Awesome to see it fly!!!!!!!!!! Ardu the World!!

    Pretty cool! Is there anything you can't turn into rc? Cars, planes, drones, boats, hydrofoils.. Is there anything left?

    This video reminds me of so many of my own experiments, a proportion of which got first tested in the dark too. I wing surf hydrofoil and design my own hydrofoils. My latest project is a mould for a carbon fibre mast. I can tell you that there's not much point in sideways weight shift. If you aren't altering the stabiliser angle then do a long axis weight shift and widen your thrust differential fans and bring them back by the ends of the front foil. Normally the stabiliser compensates for high thrust from a wing. It therefore is adjusted for an upwards pitching moment. use differential on your relocated thrust motors and steer it like a bicycle, steer the foil to tip the board partly sideways in a camber angle and then remove the differential and control speed to hold the G-force in the corner.

      Oh... and make a linear motor for your mass shift. End to end cylinder magnets in side a solenoid with a fast time of flight sensor reading distance for feedback. Depending on how your coding skills are. Not all the TOF sensors have good application library routines written for ESP32 or Arduino.

    Great project and video! I could have sworn you were going to use the weight shift for pitch control. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

    Your airfoil has no dihedral. Therefore, no lateral stability with a very high center of gravity. Why not make a foil on your 3 d printer and put in a few degrees of dihedral and see the effects.
    Or change the current airfoil with higher lift on the ends to see if that improves your stablity.
    Love the videos, Keep them coming.

    I think one of the reasons you were getting so much roll/yaw coupling because the two props you were using for yaw and forward thrust were tilted up. Whenever a motor applied yaw force it was providing part of it's force upwards, creating roll. Separating the yaw and forward thrust motors would allow you to angle your thrust motors up and your yaw motors forwards, removing their influence on roll.
