  • Despite cardboard's massive drawbacks, hundreds of people every year get together for Cardboard Boat Races, where small teams construct boats using nearly the worst material imaginable. Naturally, I wanted to give it a try -- so I challenged Peter Sripol! To spice things up, I wanted to add on a motor, making these the fastest cardboard boats around!

      @@TheOriginalJphyper having worked there, we're "not allowed" to give customers cardboard for free for that reason. But I can assure you, store-level associates do not give a crap about following rules like those.
      Though thing is if he had told an associate he needs some "some time today," with the reason, I for one would have made sure some very large sturdy pieces made it to him. In fact, there are certain ones we get that would be way better suited for a project like this, as they are nearly impossible to get into the baler (even though it could probably fit the entire boat). I'd basically just say "well Mr. manager, I got rid of the cardboard a lot faster this way."

    Looks like you made a damn good boat, nice job. I'm kinda surprised the weed whacker didn't work better, but I guess it just was spinning too fast. If you could have geared it down somehow it might have had enough power. That would have been more modification that you probably could do in the time allotted though.

    • @Weisz
      @Weisz  Před 4 lety +11

      Dude I was so surprised! Something interesting I learned is that apparently the reason places don’t give out much for free anymore is because you can apparently bale it, and there’s a company that will pay to buy the bales of cardboard from you. Kinda sucks for people who just need boxes though - I wish goodwill kept a “moving box donation bin”, I think people would totally use it.

    • @ThatCho
      @ThatCho Před 4 lety +2

    @jamesiverson6742 Před 4 lety

    That was a good idea on motors, However, Marine motors are typically very high torque low RPM. Wheedwackers use high rpm and a clutch to spin the blades. This was way you could just stick it in the water and pull the throttle because there isnt enough torque to spin it against the resistance of water and you couldnt spin enough RPM to fully engage the clutch. But when you spun it up it would drag and then bog the motor. electric motors are instant torque and don't have that issue of torque curve vs clutch.

    You thought out your design better than Peter. I'm interested in whether or not he comes back for another go. His motor was obviously beter than yours but he has more resources to throw at it. I was waiting to find out how you waterproofed your boat. I'm surprised only one? coat of marine varnish.
    Ok, I see yours died too. If you soaked all the pieces in resin and coated it inside and out I think you might be on to a winner here. I'm going to back you on a return match. Good Effort Louis.
