Today is the second day you haven't said "is the day" just as the episode started. I panicked because I'm used to you say it immediately as it starts. But you eventually say it and then everything is ok and the world isn't gonna blow up anymore. Its great to see you work on the Leviathan. Its a privilege to see you work.
The saying is,"Today is the day!" I never specify WHAT kind of day it is going to be💥 It seems that the likelihood of the world blowing up gets closer and closer every day . . . If everyone could just find a friend on UA-cam! Thanks for watching.
Progress has been a bit slow lately, but finishing up a remodel /addition, so should be getting back on both vehicles now. Make sure and subscribe, we are almost to the magical 100K mark, need that little push. ;)
For all the amazing build projects on UA-cam the likes of project binky, stance-works Ferrari etc. quietly this leviathan build is actually utterly insane. Brilliant stuff. I want one and he hasn’t made it yet.
Thanks! You too! The next big hurdle is putting the wiring harness back on; of which, a few sections need to be extended. Thanks for following the build (s)
The second radiator might not be needed if the oil cooler size is increased and the transmission cooling is kept separate from the engine cooling. Also I would ditch the power steering cooler for a much better one. The old transmission cooler would work if it can handle the same pressure and it can get air flow. However to increase cooling capacity and aid bleeding I would put a large expansion tank between the circuit of the two radiators. Also you will want to duct out the hot air away from the cabin as cab overs can become ovens without adequate ventilation under the floor.
Yep, the power steering cooler is gone, and a new one is in the works. Air flow past the engine is wide open now, as there is no longer a firewall there. Air can flow freely out and under the cabin.
i've always wondered about radiators, if they go on area or volume, so suppose you have a radiator that's two foot wide by 1 foot deep, could you double that up, as in twice the thickness, triple core as you have, i guess as long as you have what was originally required for the engine and have extra, its all a bonus, anything less will just cook the engine and boil your oil away, seen that, been there, done that the beast is coming on nicely - soon be climbing mountains
Area and volume are both important. If the volume is too small, it will cause restriction and not allow enough coolant to circulate out of the engine. If you get enough volume, then surface area needs to match. Frontal area can be reduced by increasing the number of cores, but that might become limiting to air flow if you had a stack of cores that was too dense. Thanks for following the build(s).
nice to have you back!. any reason you don't just 180 out of the 'back' radiator and into the front on the same side? then you could go out on the correct side of the front one strait around the rear one into the engine?
Thermocline! Hotter coolant needs to come in at the top and as it cools it drops down to the bottom exit. and repeat into the second radiator. I could have cut off the input and output tubes and re-welded them to face in a more conducive direction, but if I ever had problems, I would have to do the hack and weld all over again. This way I can just order another radiator. And, since it was a sponsored video, the supplier might not have liked the hack and weld job either. Ha!
Lots of aluminum in this project; lots of different alloys. Nothing is engineered to be critical enough to need heat treatment. It just has to float, not fly. Strength through mass.
Is the fan going to see water? Electric fans can blow to piece or burn up from water crossings. True overlanding where you may have water crossing I only use clutch type fans.
Fan will be over 3 foot out of the water, but will also be operable from inside the cab. In amphibious mode, the engine will be shut down, but it will still be needed for entry and exit; hence the cab control.
It appears as though one is running XP, but this is not uncommon with some systems running CAD software (older). If he's following good practices, he's air-gapped it or applied some logical controls to keep it segregated.
"Was" using Windows XP. Just upgraded to a subscription of AutoCAD lite/Fusion 360, as I have weened myself away from architectural work. The old software was called Architectural Desktop that I had been using since 2006. I never made the $5500 upgrade to keep ADtop current. Now that I am focused on mechanical engineering, the old dog is dead and a cheetah has taken its place . . a new machine, Windows 11 and a suite of CAD CAM software. All unsafely connected to the internet. Ha!
Radiator...... What is a radiator anyhow? In internal combustion engines it's used to cool the engine. It doesn't radiate heat 🤔. Heat exchanger. Sorry.... nevermind.
Your vision and skill never ceases to amaze me. Leviathan's time will come.
No matter what is in this video, the thumbnail was EPIC! Stoked to see another Leviathan episode, thank you!
Now let's see if epic thumbnails get epic views . . . so they say!

Thx for sharing, love to see the progress made !

So much good progress made! Amazing work as always.
Like watching children grow up when you don't live near them . . . looks like progress, but it seems slow when you see it every day. Ha!
Loving this vehicle...original.
Fantastic update video. Thank you sir!
Glad you enjoyed it! I'll make more.
Mind blowing. Skills are Mind Blowing.

We will save serial number 002 for you!
Happy thanksgiving Sir. I can’t wait to see you put it through its paces. Epic….
Thanks! You too! The next big hurdle is putting the wiring harness back on; of which, a few sections need to be extended. Thanks for following the build (s)
Going to be an amazing project alright 😊
I think so, too! Just need to get it running or some more body work on it so that it looks amazing. Thanks for following the build(s)
Love the sponsor. I am always looking for a size not a make and model
Need a heat exchanger for battery cooling? I'm sure they would love your channel. I can give you contact information.
The opening shot... LMAO man, simply lmao!
Dramatic acting, as I knew the old radiator was NEVER going to fit!
Pretty cool!!
Even if English isn't your first language, that is a pretty good play on words for this video.
Hey Jay. Love your work 👍
Love your comments!
Damn, almost like you planned it. Looking good.
Mostly I wing it and make it look like a plan through video editing! 😉

i'm only 20 yo but i think my grandchildren are the ones who will witness the final product of this project.

way cool... may want a bleeder on that last bit you showed. thanks.
A bleeder? Is that when the wrench slips and you bust open a knuckle? Ha!
Radiator fins: "Am I a joke to you?"
I cringe every time I see damaged fins. It's so easy to tape some cardboard to the front and back of the radiator to protect the fins during handling.

@@BuilderCreator fair enough, hard to tell there is a 'top' and 'bottom' to the front one in those shots!
Great project! Which aluminium alloys are used and how do you manage the lack of heat treatment post welding?
Lots of aluminum in this project; lots of different alloys. Nothing is engineered to be critical enough to need heat treatment. It just has to float, not fly. Strength through mass.

Box says, made in china. 😮😅

Yeah, "thermal dissipative heat exchanger" is a bit too much for one breath.
This radiator is made in China
Most likely, but so are millions of Chinese children.
