First water test OK! Motor Driver VESC required fine tuning as efficiency was terrible.
At home Ingress, Drive, Endurance, Characterization and Validation
Silicone Mold to make my own 1-way Diaphragms. Part is not robust- I have a new idea to simply use existing neoprene washers and 3D print retainer around it.
Building a Second Motored Kit so my family and friends can accompany explorations of the waters around us. This is a lighter system for use on a SUP board to enjoy shallow low tide waters and for friends to join rides with the first Electric Foil board I made . I learned my lessons with the first one, especially to perform ingress and drive validation with an Water Tub at home, rather than debugging while afloat in the Bay!
Target specs: 5mi Range, 8mph Max (ideally sufficient to plane on water surface)
Status: Ingress Protected Battery and Drive box Complete. VESC and Throttle have been tuned for better efficiency. Will perform more Propeller optimization. Otherwise ready to enjoy on the water!
