    I think your development of the seals really effectively demonstrates a common problem in the modern-day engineering space and one I fall victim to all the time. When you have such speedy prototyping resources at your fingertips like 3D Printers, it can be incredibly tempting to iterate a larger assembly than you need. Especially, when you’ve had a eureka moment and are certain that this will be the final iteration which will work perfectly, for the 43rd time….
    You appeared to manufacture seals for the entire assembly every time you iterated on the design. With the minimal viable product (MVP) method in mind, you could have iterated the seal on a single join (maybe a smaller diameter to save in materials) so you could fail fast and develop the design without making multiple seals and spending hours assembling the entire stilt. Once you have some confidence in your design you could push it with the worst-case join. Potentially, this is the largest diameter because this join will be subject to the highest force and has the largest sealing surface. Once you have a working design, you could start to assemble and test a larger and larger assembly until you have a wholly working part.

    • @PaladinNull
      @PaladinNull 4 місяці тому +41

      This is exactly right except for one key point: these videos are made for entertainment as much as education and it might be worth showing the whole process being used from an entertainment point of view.
      I think a healthy compromise would be to make a scale model of the design to show the whole process in miniature to cut down on material cost while still getting the visual effect of the whole rig activating.

    • @angrypotato_fz
      @angrypotato_fz 4 місяці тому +8

      Yeah, I was confused why the seal wasn't perfected on one joint before making whole set. But I guess it's easy to feel like you're doing "just a minimal prototype" while you're making too much at the moment. I'm glad he did just one leg before assembling the other one :D

    • @mrawesomesause1
      @mrawesomesause1 4 місяці тому +15

      The only problem with that would be that the one seal would be experiencing lower pressure than what would be experienced with every leg extended. Like he mentioned that the bottom-most leg needs 10x the pressure to extend than the first - if he only tested the seals with one leg, the seals would be exposed to much less pressure in the test than the actual thing. Basically, the full thing IS the MVP to accurately test the seals with the appropriate air pressure.

    • @mckenziekeith7434
      @mckenziekeith7434 4 місяці тому +1

      All the joints have to be sealed, otherwise air will leak out and the joint being tested will not be pressurized.

      I must express my profound gratitude for your prompt elucidation regarding the intended facetiousness inherent in the initial comment under the aforementioned video. Regrettably, my cognitive faculties were momentarily confounded, and I found myself ensnared within the labyrinthine corridors of literal interpretation. Your perspicacious clarification has extricated me from the bewildering depths of my initial confusion, and I am now poised to proffer my sincere acknowledgment of the humor intended by the commentator in question.
      Upon revisiting the comment thread, it has become manifestly evident that the assertion posited therein, regarding the individual known as Shane, attending engineering school under the auspices of a basketball scholarship, was nothing more than a whimsical and facetious fabrication. This sardonic invention, delivered with a deftness that eluded my initial comprehension, proffers a satirical twist on the perceived incongruity between the ostensibly unathletic demeanor of Shane and the ingenuity demonstrated in the creation of the aforementioned contraption designed for the facilitation of dunking a basketball.
      In light of this revelation, I am compelled to express my admiration for the astuteness with which the commentator ingeniously wove a fictional narrative, embellishing the video creator's backstory with a purportedly athletic foray into engineering academia. The delightful concoction of irony and jest, which served as the foundation for this comedic stratagem, has now been unveiled, and I find myself humbled by the dexterity with which the commentator navigated the delicate balance between fiction and reality.
      As I reflect upon the intricacies of this humorous exchange, I am prompted to marvel at the multifaceted nature of online discourse, wherein the interplay of wit and banter serves to enrich the communal experience of content consumption. It is a testament to the creativity and quick-wittedness of the denizens of the digital realm that such textual repartees can be fashioned with such finesse, transforming an innocuous comment section into a veritable playground of linguistic acrobatics.
      In conclusion, I extend my deepest appreciation for your elucidation, which has not only dismantled the shackles of my initial perplexity but has also heightened my awareness of the nuanced dynamics inherent in the realm of online humor. May we continue to traverse the vast expanse of internet discourse with an ever-heightened sensitivity to the manifold layers of meaning concealed beneath the veneer of textual exchanges.

      we take words for granted, but the capacity for speech is so damn cool. Consider how many orders of magnitude more data we transmit compared to any other organism on earth!! All they can do is warn each other, say "hey bb want to get sixy wit meh?" and "learn" a single new thing every few thousand/million years via evolution. Even before the internet (even before electricity, for that matter), humans were capable of transmitting more information (in the strictest [Shannon] sense of the word) in a single sentence than most animals are probably capable of in their entire lives!

    When I first got out of high school in the 1970’s, I spent a year framing houses. One job had cathedral ceilings that went up to 11 feet. The sheet rockers who put the sheet rock on the ceilings used stilts that were about 5 or 6 feet long. When I asked them how they learned to do this, they said they started with 6” stilts, and then kept extending them by 6” increments whenever they got comfortable. They said after a couple of weeks, they could use stilts of any lengths. They said they had used 9 foot stilts in a circus parade before they decided circus life was not for them.

    There are some small details that I'm wondering why have you not mentioned them or tried them though.
    10:41
    I believe you could have spring tensioned the winch slightly, so that it would reel in all the cable that was in the leg when it would start contracting. The spring would be very light, barely strong enough to spin the winch back as you deflate the legs.
    Also if you implemented a locking mechanism for the winch, you could have locked it at a point where it would hold the leg compressed even as you stepped off of the leg.
    This would possibly help you to learn how to walk on it better too, as it potentially wouldn't extend if you offset your weight left and right while walking.

      from a youtube diyer's point of view, Shane's safety engineering is commendable. From an engineer's point of view, it's still reckless. I know it's part of the entertainment factor (think electroboom) but for all aspiring engineers watching this: be prepared to be an order of magnitude more cautious when testing stuff. The time and cost of prototyping and testing is often 99% safety.
      (these steel blades ready to snap and fly up the armpit / the hearing loss in case of seal or tube rupture / the slack in the anti-kick-up gizmo allowing instant knee shattering in case any of the retaining blades give in / and I have watched the video only once...)

    This is really late but I think part of your problem is that you’re leaning forward in anticipation of the dunk so you fall forward while your stilts go back. You would have to wait longer and be more vertical before leaning. Part of the issue might be that your stilts’ feet are designed to be perpendicular to the floor, when a slight forward angle would likely serve this scenario better.
    Keep it up!
