      I thought the turbo muffler is just a mod to the standard baffled muffler designed to improve airflow and (completely by accident) and to not cut the sound of turbine so much. Guess I was wrong.

      @@howacarworks There's a lot of things people sell as "turbo" mufflers, but it'd seem like that phrase is used more for non chambered fiberglass packed straight through or multi pass mufflers. You kept calling the chambered muffler a turbo muffler and it was kinda confusing. To me the resonator you have is more of a "turbo muffler" than that thing.

    I think your videos are absolutely spot on and agree that these should set the standard for the next 10 years. I was very close to buying the full series but unfortunately I’m not convinced I’ll pick up anything highly beneficial for an intermediate DIY mechanic. I would definitely be bought in however if there were videos covering diagnostics (e.g. PWM, fuel trims, ignition timing, voltage drop testing, CAN bus/MOST/LIN networks, control module anaysis, etc.) and not so much focus on how things work. Certainly knowing this helps one infer how to fix things diagnostically but it’s not the complete picture. For beginners however I think the video course would be useful. I hope you add some advanced courses soon!!

  • @nemesisfaust
    @nemesisfaust 4 роки тому +1

    i been thinking a long while about adding little eighth inch plates on my diamond fluted barrel, then slotting out the concentric heads. allowing gas port ventilators and reducing back pressure on my gas system. then along the top dimond heads id leave as a whole barrel and reverse the plate configurations. its a lot of high carbon steel fissure welding so the plates expand and contract as the barrel does. then fit a contracting aluminum sleeve with a heat resistant fiberglass in it, with a .2mm fluting from front chamber to end chamber threw the fiberglass. then a chromium container over it all.
    hell i already have a custom gas tube stabilizer which is a high flow fuel rail grommet on the space shuttle, and ive also skeletonized the stock and buffer tubes and replaced the buffer with a hydrolic shock. where the stock itself is linned with industrial rubber concrete to increase structural rebound then filled it with oxidized foam for balance and stability actually reducing the cqr stock weight by 8.2oz when it was 16.8.
    and you might ask, why do all that to a rifle. a rifle is just a rifle. but its not just a rifle, its my rifle. and technically anything over 3400fps mv is a rail gun. as i think doing something like this to the barrel wouldnt just reduce the noise from needing double hearing protections, but it also might aid the flow of chamber cycles.

    • @nemesisfaust
      @nemesisfaust 4 роки тому

      but then again, that is just thinking. cost too much to replace the custom barrel. r48 stainless with custom thread, chromium linned, and diamond flutted... even tho i know it would be beneficial to reduce the noise and help the gasses flow better. where if i knew the end result of the mv pressures and how it would affect the projectile threading... i also dont want to break a good thing. .perhaps if i had an extra i might try it out and see how it goes then after evaluations and testings to build another properly. but there are still things on this build that are unfinished for over a year now due to covid delays ect. :(

    Can someone Explain to me what happened?
    I understand that they promote a course, but that course only has 122 lessons, many of which haven't been finished yet I think. so how is it that there are 505 episodes?
    how is this Episode 505, but the next video is episode 129?
    Did they delete all the content on this channel to save it for the course?
    I just want to understand what happened to what seemed to be a wonderful channel, I still think the course is a great idea and plan to buy in the future, but some information makes me uncertain.
    for example, aside from what I already said, on one of the first videos of this channel they claimed a "20 hours video series" (that was 7 years ago), but when you go to the course it says 14+ hours. is this a project from that long ago? if it is that's some serious commitment
    I just want an explanation, I don't care if this is an scam (which I doubt), after all, with the videos that are already on this channel, I think you already earned that money. a beatiful work of art and passion, with really good explanations I haven't seen in any other part.
    You fucking deserve more recognition, Legend.
    By the way, aside from the normal price, I think you should include an option for people to donate. There are a lot of people in this world that really appreciate this kind of project of love and have the money to fund it until it sees the light one day, just out of pure goodwill.

    hello, i'm a paying customer of yours who happens to also be an engineer of sorts (of the software variety, if you're curious). since i can't comment on your closed course content, i'm leaving my feedback here regarding the MAF video. first, i really liked the video but wanted to give you some info i think you will find interesting. the MAF is a hot wire anemometer. the grid arrangement in front of the MAF is actually meant to force laminar flow at the point of the hot wire so that turbulence does not cause a misreading of the volume of air. this is also why the direction of flow matters, if the wire were in front of the grid it would have no effect.
