I bought old Lego boats to test if they float or sink...

    Okay naval architect here, that ballast keel on the first "solid" hulled boats doesn't counter the waves. It moves the center of mass below the center of buoyancy, without the ballast the ship is like trying to balance a pencil on its tip. What actually counters the waves is the center of buoyancy moving around. Also love the pronunciation of yacht, the correct way is clearly wrong along with most English pronunciation.

    0:41 people say that the yellow plate on the roof is illegal, but it’s actually a lost technique

    Unlike that first boat The boat I built myself custom made with no instructions with way too many colors inside it actually floats better

    Ive had a coastguard boat in 2010 or so it was bigger than the polar explorer ship, but it was GIANT as a Kid. I played with it like it was a cruise ship or a battle cruiser

    i'm curious, as to what would happen, if the propeller was tested out on a boat from the city set from the artic expeditions series or one of the two boats the aqua raiders used. would they still float?

    This is just showing off all the cool old Lego sets he has

    Great video. Definitely a channel I'll be watching more of.

    For the flickfire missiles around 3:20 need to be flicked not tapped but it looked hard to do that when the boat wouldn’t stay in place
  • @LeoEmber
    6:40 you should make a part two when you experiment boats that can float with motors
  • @YOOOOOOOJEMA
    5:59 Its a playmobil propellor motor. I love playmobil and I can confirm these playmobil motors are all defect and can’t be turned around so they are correct
  • @OldCrowle
    There actually were electric motors that could clip to the keel from the floating series. I had a couple of those. They were not from Lego, but came from a small submarine toy, that I also had.

    I had one of those boat motors. They are genius.
