Скачать или смотреть Use An Inflated Inner Tube To Make A Makeshift Water Floating Device

A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !

This method of making a simple water-floating device using an inner tube, a plastic basin, and wooden planks, and propelling forward by rowing with small wooden planks, is feasible under certain conditions. However, it is also accompanied by numerous safety risks.

Feasibility aspects

Buoyancy support :
After being inflated, the inner tube generates significant buoyancy, which can support the weight of the plastic basin, wooden planks, and the person. As long as the total weight does not exceed the buoyancy carrying capacity of the inner tube, the device can float on the water surface.

Improved stability :
Place a plastic basin, which is slightly smaller in size than the inner diameter of the inner tube, into the hole in the middle of the inner tube. The person steps on the plastic basin with their feet, and the body's center of gravity is transmitted to the plastic basin through the legs, and then dispersed to the inner tube from the plastic basin. Such a design can lower the overall center of gravity, making the device more stable in the water and reducing the risk of shaking and capsizing caused by the deviation of the center of gravity. In addition, the plastic basin can also play a certain limiting role. When the person on it has a slight shake, the edge of the basin can block the inner tube, enhancing the anti-roll ability of the overall structure.

Enhanced maneuverability :
The person sits on the wooden plank tied to the inner tube, and stepping on the plastic basin with their feet can provide additional support and a point of force application. When using the small wooden planks to row, they can exert force better, and the body can also better cooperate with the hand movements to control the direction and adjust the balance, thereby improving the maneuverability of the entire device in the water.

Risk and problem aspects

Structural strength issues :
If the connection method between the plastic basin, the inner tube, and the wooden planks is not firm enough, when the device is subjected to external forces during the rowing process, such as the impact of water flow or collision with other objects, the plastic basin may shift, tilt, or even come out of the inner tube, affecting the stability and safety of the device. At the same time, with the person sitting on the wooden plank and stepping on the basin, the overall weight and pressure will be more concentrated on the connection part between the inner tube and the wooden plank. If the connection is not firm, the wooden plank may separate from the inner tube, leading to dangerous situations.

Material durability problems :
The inner tube is not a professional water safety device, and its material may be scratched by sharp objects in the water, resulting in air leakage. The plastic basin and wooden planks may also be damaged due to long-term immersion in water, or due to collisions, friction, etc., causing the entire device to lose its function.

Lack of safety protection :
This device is not equipped with professional safety protection equipment, such as life jackets. Once an accident occurs, such as encountering large waves, strong winds, changes in water flow, or being collided by other boats, the person is likely to fall into the water, and may face danger due to the lack of effective self-rescue measures in the water.

Poor comfort :
Even with the combination of the plastic basin and wooden planks, the comfort of the person sitting on it for a long time is still limited. Prolonged sitting may cause physical discomfort and affect the experience. In addition, rowing in the water for a long time will also make the hands tired from using the small wooden planks to row, affecting the accuracy and safety of control.

In conclusion, although this method has some operability, due to the existence of many potential safety hazards, it is not recommended to try it easily. If you want to carry out water activities, you should choose professional water equipment that has passed safety inspections and conduct the activities in a safe environment.
