About 1,200 ounces with still enough room for a few cans of soda. Question. In terms of stability, would it be better to locate the cooler at the bow, aft or middle section of my canoe?
Why on earth would you bring a cooler full of bullion onto a canoe?.. I would have a tackle box full of fishing lures! (I think middle would be better for stability)
I would say in the middle because the definition of torque is a force that causes rotation and is equation is the perpendicular force (acceleration of gravity times the weight of your object in kiligrams)) times the distance that the object is from the center of mass. If I were you, I would put it as close to the center of mass as possible for your canoe (I learned this in my AP physics class last year )
For maximum stability, tie it to a rope, and attach that rope to the middle of the bottom of the canoe. Should hold the canoe nice and stable. Also, please post what river you will be canoeing, so I can make a trip with my snorkel gear.
The Missouri River, 2014. The annual Race To The Dome benefit for the non-profit Missouri River Relief Fund. Just looks like that guy is playing a cello; actually a decoy so no one suspects the cello case is loaded with silver bullion.
Here is our canoe. Got it this summer and have only gotten to take it out once or twice so far. And no, I don't bring the coins with me, lol.
They believe the silver will stave off infection in case they flip over... something about silver being anti-microbial or some other thing like that... I think...but I could be totally wrong
Well, it's nice to see your canoe is at least made of a coinage metal, albeit one associated with hyperinflation. But at least it isn't plastic unlike most of the others during the Race To The Dome. Ours was aluminum too, a rental. There had been some huge thunderstorms a few days before the race, the Missouri River was the fastest I had ever seen it that day, a leisurely pace was about 15-MPH thanks to the current. I wouldn't mind owning one of those 10-man canoes someday, that would have to be a blast(!)
That wouldn't do anything in a river though its not a force field and its properties are minimal at best
It's a hedge against life-jacket hyperinflation. Your jacket won't do you any good if it suddenly inflates to hundreds of times its original size, then pops. But I could be wrong, too.
This is what happened to professionals in a well built vessel. Don't you be next! If I were you, I'd have a buoy on a long rope tied to that cooler!
