Experimenting with brushless out runners and planetary gear reduction units

That’s a nice boat. Always like the bunker boats or also called Menhaden steamers. Is your HM smoke unit a 12 or 6 volt unit? Dave the old owner of HM used to be one of my distributors before I retired and eventually years later he did too. New owner seems like a nice guy.

12v. I just replaced the batteries as one of them blew a cover. I got 4 Duracell 6 v to give it plenty of amps. I also made up a DF and VHF/UHF antennas. I took over the dining room table when I gutted her. My wife then made me take over an empty bedroom for my work area.

Yes sir. Gutted everything and added new motor, sound, lights and rc.

It looks pretty effective to me. What are you using to move the air?

In the video I was just blowing through the silicone tube that enters the medicine bottle chamber below the e-cig coil. Prior to taking the video I used one of the larger LPB pumps that Bob sells on his website with great results too running on about 7.4 volts. What’s interesting with this coil is, the higher the air flow the more smoke that was generated.

Your amazing-Nick. Never a boring rabbit from a top hat. Next, Please figure out "Black Smoke" -nobody's got that either..

Thanks Bob. The black smoke would be interesting to pull off. Will have to think about how it might be achieved using vegetable glycerin and still be non toxic and not a mess either. Will have to think about that.

Is that the boat you bought from Bob?

Yes sir. Gutted everything and added new motor, sound, lights and rc.

Here’s a quick and dirty smoke generator I built about 30 minutes ago. It uses a $3 replacement coil from an e-cigarette. The coil has 1.8ohm resistance and is being run on 3.7 volts. It pulls about 1.8 amps on the power supply. Using 100% vegetable glycerin as the smoke fluid. Short video link below.

It came with the boat. It’s an example of the Harbor Models smoke generator. Works well and is connected to the engine to regulate how much is put out.

Is it a 12 volt unit or a 6 volt unit?

Both units are claimed to draw about an amp. What I witnessed with the 6volt unit I have is a 1.3 amp draw. Using ohm’s law that would mean the coil should have around 4.6 ohms of resistance and produced around 7.8 watts at the coil.

If we used the same 1.3amp draw for the 12volt unit. Then the coil resistance should be around 9.2 ohms and produce a wattage of 15.6.

Much more heating/vapor potential for the 12v unit if the amp draw is theoretically similar.

Looks good Casey! Spill the beans. How did you make it?

I just went down the rabbit hole of the vaping juice crowd and even visited a local store to pick up raw components and holy hell the knuckle dragging **** jizzle **** tardness of that experience left me doubting any hope for future generations. They quoted ohms law but knew absolutely **** about its basic principles…

Too funny...LOL!

Here is a still of my HM smoke unit. Works well.

Nice bunker boat cabin. Yeah spill the beans
