Design

Hi Vince,

The videos are great, gives me a bit of a Myth Busters feeling, the result obviously being True :)

How about increasing the living space doing something like this?

It would make the design extensible in length as well (and probably you could line up several of these also). Joep 00:55, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

As you have that drawn it seems it could fall along the direction of the main line either forward or backward. The square could not fall even with hinges at the joints. Vincecate 03:13, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Barrels

Hi Vince,

Obviously it's of no use to you, but used 54 gallon barrels are for sale here at about $15 and even 270 gallon barrels at about $35. A full scale WaterWalker could be a bit cheaper using the latter. Joep 01:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Nice. Wow, 270 gallons for $35 would be amazing. Great for the telephone pole sized version. I did have water getting into 2 of my barrels by the way, but maybe the lids were just not tight enough. Vincecate 03:15, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
