*proves that, in fact, he did have an idea by making that.*

Some of these were both unsettlingly organic and extremely fascinating. (Looking at you paddleboat on land)

[wildweasel]

Kinda want to see the smaller, "too slow" paddles multiplied - like a Viking longboat with 50 of them, to see if it can go anywhere ;)

[CrimsonHiroX]

Perfectly good missed opportunity to make a "boat" that had wheels that reached the bottom of the test container.

The Undulating Fins Boat feels straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. Amazing Content as always!

[gv_blitz]

The undulating one should have undulated opposite directions, I know it would be more complex but it would like double the efficiency

[DitztheViking]

Using the Bohrok Weapons as Paddles is genius, maybe try to see which out of all them is best for paddles?

[KPen]

The air propeller (or turbine) is a PERFECT demonstration of how moments of spinning objects work!! Absolutely fascinating

Congrats on the sponsorship, you deserve that

Honey, wake up. Brick Technology uploaded a video.

For the turbine, a keel is usually what protects boats from tipping. Sailboats run into that all the time. It might not be enough to resist the torque this thing is generating, but it would have been worth a try.

Land boat is peak engineering, and you can't change my mind!

[shubhamjuvatkar]

I don't know why I laughed so much at the land boat part as it walked away with that tapping sound 😂.
My personal favorite is the paddle wheel one.
Though they are too much wider because of the wheels, but they look lovely 😂

I think it's fair to 3D print certain pieces like that, after all, Lego includes SAILS in some kits, and the sails don't feel very Lego. I think you're good with the undulating fins :3

The Land Boat was delightfully cursed.

[Strix]

Ah yes, my favorite classic Bionicle set, the Boatrok.

10:31 one must imagine Lego boat happy

[Totally_Bonkers]

There are so many little things in this video that make it so good. The testing phases, the comparisons between older models to show why changes were made

.and the land boat

[Tacoman_]

Making the waves at the end was the best part! Epic video

That land boat segue is the reason why I love engineering so much lol. You get to make wacky looking ideas that work with a bit of tinkering.
