Swabian Efoil build

Its snowing here so i thought this would be a nice time to start my cooling similar to @sat_be s Build: Daniels (un)geared inflatable (slowly built) - #72 by sat_be
This solution is much more easy because a water tube could disconnect when the radius is getting to small. The Summer gonna show if the aircooling is enogh :sweat_smile: .

So i bought the biggest cooler i could find, around 30010020 and cut it down to 20010020.
After that I trimmed ~8 - 10 mm flat plane around.

Then I made a hole of the size of the cooling fins in the box.
The direction of the fins is going to be in the direction of surf. This should lead to a maximum air cooling.

The heatsink got several screws to hold it in place. Its seals with Silicon all around.

I Placed the VESC directly on the Heatsink with some heatpaste and two screws.
The screws are also seald with silicone.

It looks like its all Waterproof :grin:

Made some Isolation with some rubber from a bike tube. And placed all the components and made some nice cabeling. The placement of the components is pretty nice. If water comes in they stay dry a long time. But the batterys gonna melt :innocent:.

The edges of the heatsink are really sharp. If i fall i directly fall over it. So i Made some PETG protection frame around it. There will come an aditional one for the screw of the VESC.

So next steps gonna be:

  1. Test it :smiley:
  2. replace bearings
  3. replace the old mastmount with the new hydrodynamic improved version.
