I Made A Pumpkin Hovercraft

How long do you think it will stay there? It's like spinning the bottle, except we're having tea. Oh, now you have to kiss me, hello and welcome to the spooky Halloween episode that's on the show or make a

pumpkin

hovercraft

full of debt. It's 9:30 we are making a

pumpkin

hovercraft

to compete in a combat robot competition that is an hour and a half drive away and starts in 12 hours. I don't think it will take you like here are our other ingredients talking about color and emptiness. cleaner, this is not the cheapest vacuum cleaner we could find because I didn't want it to stink.

Oh no no, are you serious who sells a wired version of this? I literally searched for a cordless vacuum, this is what I clicked on. I got a quick The question is this a corded or cordless vacuum cleaner. This is a corded vacuum cleaner. My research stopped right there, yeah, so okay, let's see if it works on DC power. Yeah, well, we just need a respectable opinion. A second opinion. Oh. I'm about to have a meltdown that looks like a bridge rectifier. Actually, this thing we may be lucky. This thing could totally run on direct current.

We're in the garage. This place is a disaster. We're trying to build workbenches and stuff. but we are very good at procrastinating, we have two wires coming out of it, one of them looks like a temperature sensor. I have a bad feeling that no matter what we do, this won't work and it's just Oh my God, this engine. Basically it's not wired for the type of voltage we're going to use if we use this setup for the shopping cart, where is that adapter cable? I hope it doesn't explode now that we're talking yeah that's what the shit is but that's where that's the kick look it's confetti you can cut confetti with this knife let's cut pumpkins with it I'm going to use this big scary one hey i will take it away from you the plan is to cut the bottom put the cordless vacuum motor in the pumpkin and the base forms a seal with a smooth surface on which it will not work like a bumpy surface we will use these motors i cant remember their name also sent Janke stickers, we will use these and these propellers.

I've done a terrible job preparing for this and I'm going to pay for it. This complete video. Where should we? Carly, right there, feels good so far. Pretty bad cut. We just need like a giant belt sander. there's a name for this race like clap is that the right word nothing to see here just grind my pumpkin on the sidewalk hey that looks pretty good anyway a little more okay that's okay now oh buddy can we make pumpkin pie , let's try to use the shot back to see what kind of lifting force or what kind of pressure is required it's not, I mean, it's not bad the pumpkin you eat is different kind of pumpkin like this is not obviously kinder I'm sad I bet that's why they use flexible materials in the skirt to keep them moist, let's stick it yeah, but it doesn't move smoothly hey, hey, wait, come back, do you want to see our pumpkin hovercraft, it's a lot worse than I thought It was going to be and it does. just like the oscillation stuff, but none of the motor drivers, the DC motor drivers, can handle more than 3 seconds, so we'd have to like it.

I've been practicing using Fusion 360 because SolidWorks isn't responding to my emails. We're modeling a small T, that is. It's going to be a propeller holder and that's going to happen right now, CNC time, this is like quiet jazz music, yeah, well this is like quieter music, a little weird in a way, with more space we end up more disorganized yeah well there's a lot of things there's a lot of things that we've wanted to do that we just haven't been able to do yet it's a lot of work setting this up this is what I had to get away from the pumpkin with a propeller whether the proponents are very long, yeah, look, oh no, sorry, is there something wrong with this?

Hit the pumpkin a little, it'll carve a canal, okay, we're on our way to not being the robot competition because no one woke up. It's important though because it didn't work anyway, these saviors did, let's try to buy a cordless vacuum cleaner so we can get a motor that runs on a lower voltage. This was an x-ray. This is the ox on board. For these vacuum cleaners, please attach these backrests. I know this is against the rules, but I won't get scammed twice. I don't see any cables, yes, but I don't trust it until I take it out of the box and look, I'm going to see magic. trick yeah this one doesn't have a self-contained conduit so we have to cut it off hey Morgan potassium potassium dude we didn't even need to fight a competing combat robot we were able to destroy ourselves single-handedly oh well ... that's bad.

Really, where did it all go so wrong? I really tell you sure, oh, the pumpkin, change of plans. We are going to put a skirt on the pumpkin. The purpose of a skirt on a hovercraft is to provide this like an air cushion that we don't have when you. you have like a stiff skirt, you can search for hoverboard videos if you really care. I'm probably seeing the explanation. In fact, I used to be like a huge airplane nerd when I was a kid, which was like mine. I still have my RC helicopter somewhere looking at photos of it.

I've noticed one thing is pretty consistent: they are always wider than they are tall. I think we might have inherent design flaws, too much weight and too much weight on top, and even if you put more pressure on it, it doesn't seem to help. How much I appreciated Pumpkin Bot 2.0 is driving me crazy. We'll light it up when you cut it. I'll carve it out and we'll come back when it works. I think we're at 70. video concerts oh no we already have mold it comes back in a second it's much more stable it needs to be significantly shorter the weights aren't even a problem how do we make it stink less?

I honestly don't know what to do. really happy it works either way Oh what's going on, what's going on, wait, they just took off, they just took over at the same time, they just went up and then fell, yeah, why didn't you sleep? Last night we switched to a different pumpkin shell, this one got carved so it's more rigid and I think it totally works, it's a little hard, oh we're leaving a snail trail. I'll be honest if I was like six years old. old and my dad took me to RadioShack and we bought this and I came home and I was playing with it right now.

I would be very disappointed, but I think what really matters is that it works. What do you think Michael is? I like the effort that counts or it's the application that is more important. Thank you. I appreciate your contribution. He says what is happening. I'm coming for you. Michael. Okay, just give me a ticket. Damn, you better be careful. I'm going to cut off your leg completely. keep going it smells like a burnt vacuum cleaner motor which i know you didn't go to bed michael thinks go to bed last night that's not normal that's not healthy that's not right you're not supposed to do that , let's go to the pumpkin hovercraft, well, thanks for watching.
