Sss 4092 electric hydrofoil for disbaled guy

You convinced me to go 12s.

Ordered a neugart ple40 1:20 gearbox. hope it fits off the box, if not I’ll make it fit :crazy_face:

next thing is the esc, already found some quality esc but I’m thinking to go with the midrange since I’m watercooled and 12s. 100amp range watercooled should do the job. about 150€ planned for it.

suggestions boys? :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

kv: 1200
gb: 1:20
v: 44,4V
this makes= 44,4*1200/20=2664 rpm @ prop
perfect! belissimo.
@Flo petg has a high chemical resistance.
Tetrahydrofuran (tangit pvc-u) does the job if you can wait at least 48h. but nothing is better then heat… I mean meltgluing
thx guys

That means your motor is running with 52000/min?. Wow are you sure this motor can be used with 12s?

  • BL Motor 4092

  • 4 poliger Rotor, armiert

  • 1200 KV (upm / Volt)

  • max. 50000 upm

  • d= 40 mm x l= 92 mm

  • LK 25 mm / M3

  • Welle 5 mm x 18 mm

  • max. 102 Ampere

  • Leerlaufstrom 1,4 Ampere

  • max. 41 Volt

  • 4300 Watt

  • 500 g
    heres the specs of this motor.
    you could practically even run it with 100v as far as i know.
    on my e-bike, the motor was rated for 48v. runs great on 100v too. some guys even did 125v.
    but theres an equivalent effect like heat for ampere but for voltage, don’t know that effect, I’m sure some guys here know that

Fingers crossed the gearbox withstands this kind of input speed.

50000rpm?! R.I.P gearbox

trust me bros, this will work out :grin:

You should definitely grease it with high speed grease. I wish you the best :slightly_smiling_face:

yes it will work… but (6): max speed 18000 rpm , 1000times in the life of the gearbox
the same for the motor: heat and metal wear on the bearings above 50 000 rpm… it will work but propably most chance to break when you start having fun and have learned to foil

interesting to see a 40mm motor full speed with a 20:1 , it will make some torque :wink:

I’m not sure if the input gears are hardened, if not I will do it myself at home.
There are plenty tutorials:

left is parker gearbox, right one is neugart

this ones a superchief from reisenauer

hardening gears
high efficient grease
very good cooling and It’ll run good I think, but you are right, it will break, question is how long it’ll run.

wing complete

it’s one part now, have to buy some good sandpaper

This thing is huge! Nice work.

If the gearbox holds up one season you then have time to redo the propulsion unit and improve it, maybe go direct drive then :blush:

is looking like a cock :grin:
as i appreciate your opinions. I ordered a controller of the high class. around 400€.
mgm controller
I’m a fucking crazy fucker, this a ps4 in my alutube.

the backwing looks so beautiful, like modern art.
matrix 3d printed style I LOVE IT

btw it’s the eppler wing one guy (big thx to him) postet some weeks ago

wanted to show you a little sideproject of mine, as I have too much money and too much time.
It’s a 3d printed hand, for another disabled lad. He had a serious accident and can’t move his hands. but is able to move his arms.
the bodyfingers get “attached” to the fingers. servo will close the 3d hand and I hope his hand too.
Hope this lad will be able to hold a beer again…



@hiorth maybe it’s something for your friend?

who always wanted to see a dissembled neugart ple 40 1:20 2 stage reduction gear:

looks fine for a 2000w cruiseboard, or sufficient

Having a 3d printer is a nice thing
Files will be on thingiverse soon if anyone needs them. Search for ple40

my heart always beats faster when receiving new parts :slight_smile:

reduction unit is ready to mount, some electrical parts arrived, I am ready to go for the upper part, where I will be sitting on.

here the pics of the mgm controller:
look at this beauty

it was hard to find a 200A wattmeter for 60V, but I found one

just missing assembly!

i was using the same wattmeter … it’s not easy to read with the sun.
I though that it doesn’t matter, as long at i get my max values at the end… but i had some breaker issue and basically each time i was getting back to the beach power was off… so no data usable.
Start thinking of how you can mount a camera with a good view of it if you want to gather data :slight_smile:

The controller does datalogging, very expensive but the all around package is very good. You can see all data afterwards on computer.
a little preassembly:
lot of holes to drill :sweat_smile:

If that’s not already your plan, you might want to rotate the full fuselage / wing assembly 180 degree along its axis.
Almost all the weight is transmitted to the front wing. The way it is in you picture, the screws will take the full load. I’m not concerned about the screw breaking, but the stress on the wing itself will be way more concentrated than if the fuselage was pushing against the wing.

Looks awesome, Board progress and robohand! Keep up the good work.

You will add some fibers to the wing, correct?

Looking forward to see it on the water

@Mat yes the front wing is upside down, whole tube must be rotated 180°. Backwing isn’t screwed or glued yet, otherwise I couldn’t make a picture, backwing would fall down :sweat_smile:

@Hiorth I honestly think that the frontwing would brake, this is why I will print it again with a hole going nearly through the whole wing to screw a rod in for stiffness. I don’t like to work with fiberglass, it’s messy and dirty^^

Don’t misunderstand me, PETG is very strong, I couldn’t brake it by hand yet, but the bending is pretty high and I think it would cause “aerodynamical” flow problems :face_with_monocle:

And i will shorten the alutube, now it’s 750mm, will cut it down to 625mm.
Mast is cut down to 600mm too as you guys recommended.

Could this hand be a waterproof remote? The remotes look so goofy in-hand. Why not make the waterproof remote part of a glove / 3d printed hand of some sort?

Random thought after reading old posts…
