🐮 Lolcow Doug Jackson / SV Seeker - Boomer hubris personified, an incompetent lunatic's dreams slowly crumbling to dust because of his own poor decisions.

I did some napkin math and assuming Doug is trying to push 15gpm(which -8 pressure/-12 return lines up nicely with under non-retard conditions), he's going to loose nearly 1000 psi of working pressure in 800' of -8 2 wire and another 225 psi in 800' -12 1 wire return line.

I've just realized 225 psi of back pressure might be enough to blow out shaft seals on whatever temu hydraulic motors Doug bought.

I'm still confused about why he even wants this thing powered, won't be be dragging it along? Seems like that would be more than enough to capture any of these non-existent mircoplastics

And he'll just sneer until the shaft explodes, he silently screams, and then brags about fixing it by using a more retarded fix that is loosely based on what people warned him not to do.

Hell, he might sink and die if he's particularly unlucky when this stupid attempt to brag about his sink by itself vessel backfires. He needs that praise now that he is fuming he can only hide in waterways to protect his ego and avoid dying.

He wants to pretend he's a big boy engineer with big boy solutions. A basic filter for garbage isn't cool enough, and he needs to feel like a man.

Dougs most recent project is building a "microplastics collector" out of a stainless steel barrel. One end will be the inlet, the other an outlet to a collector bag. Two counter rotating props in the drum will draw seawater into the bag to speed up collection. These props are hydraulically driven for some reason. Oh, and the hydraulic lines are also the tow lines. AND this is supposed to be operating at 400 ft of depth.

He's crimping the lines himself. A careful observer will note that there isn't a whole lot of deformation on the crimps, indicating a potentially insufficient job. Good thing Doug has never had problems with creating oil slicks before!

Ignoring the fact that he's going to be trying to push hydraulic power through 800ft+ of line, that Doug's hydraulic pump is already so anemic it cant lift the anchor, or that there aren't many microplastics at this depth anyway... I present to you this Facebook comment, which is pure, distilled SV Seeker mindset.

Doug needs a pulley or something help haul in that 800ft of line. So he tries truck wheels, motorcycle wheels and mountain bike wheels. To nobody's surprise, none of them work. After many hours and dollars, Doug decides to buy a pre-made part that is designed to do exactly what he needs. "I wanted to make these out of stainless anyway", he says not having built any of his prototypes out of stainless. What a discovery Doug has made! Cable puller wheels can be used to pull things!

This hydraulic fish blender is an incredibly stupid idea. I think it may be the dumbest idea he's had yet.

The TDI powered tender is pretty far up the list. Not only did it not have any reserve buoyancy, it was so heavy it was trying to sink the Seeker when it was lifted out of the water.

The TDI is the wunderwaffen of spergy engineers, really. Between him and the Raptor Aircraft guy alone there have been gloriously bad ideas for a lifetime.

Here's the hydraulic line spool he's building. Just welded to the port side railing

Oh, and heres a video of him recapping his pressure control rats nest. I thought he would have gotten a LITTLE bit better about laying this stuff out. He's fit an entire boat with hydraulic, water, and electrical systems, but still cant build anything that isn't pants on head retarded.

Edit: XenForo is only showing the first 2 seconds of the 90 second video, you'll just have to watch it on reddit. Sorry. https://old.reddit.com/r/SVSeeker_Free/comments/1qe1bvn/facebook_video_i_think_i_got_it/

He at least is using a pig mat for the oil he will eventually dump into the water from a leak.


adding his new vid as well

The Aqua barrel is complete (can't download the vid at the moment).

Yet more shots of a Doug free handing powertools (now without gloves)
 
I’ve been scrolling his Facebook and he keeps mentioning surviving a “gale” in the Florida keys. Is that even really a thing or is this just another made up dub?
 
He almost certainly was in port during any storm given how very close to sinking at all times his lopsided piece of shit he ruined his life over is. At best he braved the internal waterways that were built through the southern coast like usual since his shit makes the HMS Captain look well designed. I'd rather do a transatlantic tour on a Mississippi Ironclad monitor than his bus powered shithole he almost sank by flushing.

There was a gale watch for much of Florida's coastal waters during that winter storm that moved across the country and small craft advisories persisted for the week. It got pretty windy for a day or two and cold for a week or so down there. I'm not sure what the max and average winds were in the keys but I doubt it was actually a significant gale, nothing worth bragging about at least to anyone in Florida who would consider winds of 35kts pretty unconcerning. Here's a graphic I found just searching for the gale watch last week:

This man is going to get a literal boat load of sand and debris, MAYBE some micro plasterinos on the way. I would assume having a propellor barrel with only a hose and winch connecting it will just flail all over the place like a jet engine in GMOD.(?)

I wonder what bullshit he cooked to store the garbage his terrible pail that doesn't do shit looks like, and whether or not the tonnage causes it to sink via capsizing like it craves to do every day this stupid fuck takes it on the waterways to cope that "no, it's a boat that isn't ass! I am DIY manly man genius!"

Because I could easily buy that he fucked up the storage of the trash too.
