On The Pond
In the above video I am by myself while operating my steam launch, so the camera is on a tripod and operating unattended.
For that reason, I kept the speed down so that I could juggle all the hats I'm wearing on this day!
Maybe I'll inlist help one day to shoot a nicer video, but for now this shows you the boat actually does run!
I have a shotgun mic mounted on my DSLR, the reason why you can hear the over-amplified sounds happening in the actual launch from shore while I shot the video.
I could have recorded the sound separately with the launch in its test tank, and using my digital recorder, and then dubbed the sound to the video, but found this worked reasonably well.
So besides the mechanical sounds happening in the engine room, the other sound you hear is the burner under the boiler being fed propane from the 1 pound disposable canister mounted in the bow.
Technical review of this steam launch.....
