Boat Concept Tetramaran

Assumptions:
-All calculations assume air is of negligible mass

Design goals:
-Maximize hydrodynamic efficiency
-Build a boat straight from the imagination
-Create a boat that can actually be 3D printed successfully

Design explanation:
-From some basic research on hull design, multihull boats gain many advantages over monohull boats, such as increased stability and improved speed.

Final Design Calculations:
Total boat volume= 10172.3717 mm3 => 101.72 cm3
Mass of boat=107.82 g
Force of gravity on boat=1056.67 mN

Hull volume (just plastic) = 8992.8251 mm3 => 89.93 cm3
Void volume in hull = 3573.6095 mm3 => 35.74 cm3
Total hull displacement = 125.7 cm3
Buoyant force due to hull (assuming air is of negligible mass) = 1231.57 mN

Assuming quarters have a mass of 5.670g, the boat could theoretically hold 30 quarters safely

Dimensions:
Hull length = 9.3 cm, large hulls
5.08 cm, small hulls

-Boat hull comments:

• had to scale up by 1.5x to get printable parts
  -Just a prototype, a little back heavy on the connector (caused the back to fill up with water but still floated kind of)
