Inspired by what he saw in the movies and using very simple elements, a man created a vehicle similar to the one that the martians.
The difference is that this object does not fly through space, but moves quickly through space. agua.
He inventor He documented the entire manufacturing stage and then made it known on his social networks, where it had an impressive impact.
An earth mold and two layers of fiberglass: this is how the casing of the invention was created
Most homemade boats start with a mold, lots of fiberglass, and a small motor. However, for Vietnamese artisan Thánh Che, known on YouTube as Mr. Hoit all started with a dream, a pile of scrap metal and the ambition to put a UFO simile in a river.
Instead of leaving it as an idea that could be more than interesting, Mr. Ho took a few months to turn it into a real boat with jet propulsion, solar panels and electric doors, in the purest style of a science fiction movie.
The creation process was shared by the creator himself in a YouTube video, which accumulates 32 million visits.
The most striking thing is not the result, but how he arrived at it. Ho did not have industrial molds, so to shape the hull, he built a mound of sand and outlined it with a rotating arm made of scrapmounted on a central post, until a perfectly symmetrical dome is obtained.
He then applied cement on top to consolidate the shape and, on that surface, laminated fiberglass by hand to create the two halves of the hull. Once the fiber dried, the soil mold was removed.
The details of the ship and a successful first voyage
He propulsion system of the invention is the same as that of a jet ski, which, located under the pilot’s seat, sucks in water through an intake in the lower part of the hull and expels it through a rear nozzle.
Direction is controlled by a deflector attached to a cable that directs the water jet, allowing tight turns without the risks of a conventional propeller. To house the engine, the lower hull was designed with a hollow oval cavity inside.
The interior finish is surprising given the manufacturing process. The pilot is reclined in a seat, with an aviation-inspired steering wheel in front of the instrument panel and switches, and the wiring is hidden.
The cabin has soundproofing coating, while the windows are made of tinted acrylic. From the outside, LED lights and solar panels complete an aesthetic that, combined with a grayish color, effectively reminds us of a flying saucer.
On the maiden voyage, carried out on a river in Vietnam, the boat performed exactly as the design promised: stable, with good directional response and capable of making tight turns at high speed. The low center of gravity of the hull and the absence of external elements underwater work in its favor.
