Meanwhile, #ThriftyBuilder is busy reinventing the wheel by creating a #gearbox dynamometer to test his #hydrofoiling electric boat transmissions. Because why spend $100 an hour at a dyno lab when you can waste an infinite amount of time and resources building your own?

This itinerary through Greek Island of Idra (aka Hydra) and Athens is ideal for those seeking both serenity and historical adventure, offering an unparalleled Greek experience that lingers in memory long after the journey ends. https://youtu.be/tOM2V9TlRgo

Once in a while you stumble into something kind of mind blowing. When I saw a preview of this video I thought someone these guys had motorized hydrofoils but that didn't make sense since the battery life is pretty limited.

And then I watched it and wow - it's like they are surfing but the hydrofoil keeps them above the water. All they have is the wave power and occasional swift pumps of their massive leg muscles.

"#Foiling is basic physics, much like an airplane. The foil in the water has a similar shape to wings mounted to airplanes. Forward speed is created either by wind applied to a hand held sail (wing) or waves pushing the foil under water." - hydrofoilacademy.com
