Since your channel has grown so fast, I would like to see a video where you explain your background so that we understand where all your knowledge comes from
and also so i know what degree path to pursue!
Likely a mechanical engineer
@@spanky4446 probably Physics or mechanical Engineering
I don't think you mean this comment rudely but I can't help but think that it sounds as if you are saying since he has grown he now is obligated to explain his credentials it's my opinion that that's none of our business
I agree with you to the point that it would be really interesting where all you knowledge comes from but even more why you do all this "crazy" stuff. I mean, why do you build all these very different things, just for fun? What's driving your ideas and projects?
But, and that's where I disagree, this has noting to do with the groth of the channel. I think I know how this was meant (maybe), I guess what you (hopefully) wanted to say is that now that the channel is well established he may have some time to do a video about more "normal" things like telling us about his life and motives ... :-) sure. this would be interesting for many of us!
16:05 is a great window into your mind :). A man never grows up, the toys just become more expensive.
Brilliant build keep them coming
As a now 40 year old man who never knew my father or had any other male figures in my entire life what so ever, please let your son know how incredibly lucky he is to have a dad like you. Shit I'm 40 and I wish you were my dad. lol
same all around but you beat me by 10 years.
There is more of us...
#metoo This might be a common thread among viewers. Thanks to youtube and tech ingredients I can fill the dad hole in my heart with incredibly well explained father-son science projects!
almost makes me feel there should be some sort of bastard fellowship community or something. lol
@@justinheads5751 Isn't that just Fight Club? 😂
Serious: “It’s dangerously loud”. Giggles and than proudly says: “It’s a beautiful thing!”
I love how obvious it is that they genuinely enjoy what they're doing. They're not doing it for the views or ad clicks, they're doing it first and foremost because they love it, and it really shows.
Jacob T
I couldn’t agree more
I bet the neighbours think it's a beautiful thing too. Or maybe not. 😋
@@KieranShort What neighbours?
as soon as he said it in the video, i was reading you comment. perfect timing :D
The part between 0:00 and 17:27 was the best.
i love how happy he looks, while standing in the engines stream
A TRUE SCIENTIST AND INVENTOR RIGHT?!!!!!!
@@BowenOrg what??? can't hear you, cause there is some 180dB of science going on....
"running at full power it's like sticking a pencil in your ears, it's a beautiful thing" 😆
hehe 😛
And then they proceed to expose us to the horrible sound. The difference between the vocal volume and the engine volume was considerable; perhaps you would consider a limiter or gate on your upper volume threshold?
That chuckle...was he thinking about his neighbors at that moment?
@@BrendanOrrI'm sure his neighbors love him ;)
@@A.J.Collins Nah that's just giving us the full experience. I can't hear anything now, it's a beautiful thing.
Man I wish you were my neighbor!
Lol It turns out i live 10 minutes away from him found that out after realizing I have the same view and then I saw his house and relized we live on the same road
AMEN!!!!!!!!
LETS "WORK A DEAL" WITH HIM SOMEHOW!!! : )
@@BowenOrg ya I tried to contacted him because I love making stuff but I didnt get a response so I might just go knock on the front door
sounds like you should knock on his door. I'd be at his house every weekend helping out!
I've always felt that science without engineering is of limited use. I love how this channel demonstrates science concepts in the context of complex applications. Science communication needs more of this!
Thanks!
Agreed!
A TRUE TEACHER WHO CAN TALK IN COMPLEX TERMS.... BUT IS STILL ABLE TO SHARE UNIQUE AND VALUABLE INFORMATION TO THE "LAYMAN" LIKE MYSELF!
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH AND I'M WATCHING OVER AND OVER AND OVER TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPTS AND TECHNIQUES SO I CAN USE IN MY REAL ESTATE PROJECTS!!!
AMEN
@@TechIngredients I realize this is a few years old, but really enjoy your stuff, especially when you get that young boy smile ear2ear. I might have missed it - you are lubricating the turbocharger right? As those are designed for automobile use. Have a certain classic Japanese sportscar project in my garage.....yep, Binger turbo, pistons, etc for more faster😆.
Pretty sure it'll be louder too. Anyways, keep em coming, thanks.
Dislikes are from the neighbors.
Ha!
the world needs more neighbors like this
I don't think he has many neighbors...awesome property.
I was wondering if the compound turbo turbines, will quiet it down, or will a multi-stage generator turbine quiet it down, or, is there a tuned muffler that can be made for it.
@@observingrogue7652 a turbine attached at the end to capture power will make it quieter and the more energy it pulls out of the exhaust the quieter it will be. Without a multistage turbine it will likely just sound like a smaller engine but even with a very efficient design eventually it's just not worth the effort of capturing it. In this case exhaust restrictions to quiet it aren't really an option because they reduce the efficiency upstream. Another turbine is a restriction but its neccessary to extract the power. Many power plants will actually use the last heat to power a steam turbine, extracting power at multiple stages in different ways as the energy lowers. With the dregs of heat left (still enough to burn stuff) you could heat a huge water heater then heat a building in winter and then a bank of sterling engines. As the temperature goes down there will be a point where the energy recovered will equal the amount lost in the system recovering it. That point is FAR beyond the point where it is economical to try to recover any more
You look so incredibly happy. It's well-deserved, too. That's a ton of work, research, testing, and everything else that went into the build. I hope I can be as inspirational to my children as you are to your son, and all of us.
In this episode: the main presenter and the son of the main presenter derive boyish enjoyment from making loud noise and burning things
Much as Nixon in S.E Asia?
To Animal Reproduction South Africa: much as Nixon did in S.E. Asia
IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT RIGHT?!!!!!
Thanks for making these high quality content videos. Sometimes I just don't know what I don't know, and your videos often give me ideas to explore that fill in the blanks! You are appreciated greatly!
just for fun, this winter can we see you use this to clear snow from your driveway?
Pretty sure you could if you had it set up to direct all the air onto the ground. They have jet driers already that are mostly used to dry up race tracks after it rains.
Airport snow blower trucks are basically just that. Jet engines with a hose coming off them strapped to the side of a bulldozer.
The first turbocharger turbojet I saw was at a railway equipment show more than 20 years ago. A platform mounted on small rail wheels had two of these jets on one end aimed down at a 45 degree angle. the machine was used in railway switching yards to blow snow and ice from the switches to prevent them from being frozen in place. The jets didn't propel the platform. It was pushed from switch to switch by another vehicle. I have been fascinated by turbocharger turbojets ever since.
Leaf blowers work well to clear snow from the cars. Trick for the driveways is dont let it pile up and it clears very quickly.
What driveway?
16:05 love that moment! Highly entertaining and educational videos which makes your channel very unique to me. Thank you for sharing your awesome projects!
I am following ALL your engine build videos. I have a frame that I'd like to attach one to but I'm still learning a bit about their workings before I dive in.
You've been a great help so far!
Thank you guys for the quality content of this channel. Keep up the good work.
That is one heck of an inspired build!! You have every right to grin :) Congrats.
This is awesome!...and one of the highlights is @16:07 "...it's just, ha, it's a beautiful thing..." Priceless!
Thank you for sharing all you do!
I love what you’ve done on so many levels !!!! Please, Please, Please don’t stop what you’re doing !!!
What an achievement, nice work!
Huge drone parts, high power lasers, diy data sender, turbo jet engines.... i don’t even dare to connect the dots. You guys are awesome!
Beautiful work and wonderful presentation! Thank you for making this, and the video!
I must say I really do enjoy your projects! Many can build amazing things, but few can explain as well as you do how why they work the way they do with solid science behind you.
Thank you,
You're welcome!
Such an exciting project, I am really looking forward to more. Can't wait.
Beautiful work.
I really love how happy that thing makes you.
Thank you so much, can’t wait for the next one.
"dangerously loud. It's a beautiful thing.. " Priceless :) Keep it coming !
Your videos bring me so much joy. Keep it up.
I love your fluent physics based explanation. It makes so easy to follow. Wish I would have known all this when we trial runned our turbochargers something like 25 years ago. Got a lot of diesel vapour smoke and noise of course. But nothing as close stable performance as this!
I'm happy to see another video from my favourite channel
I'M "HOOKED".... CAN'T GET ENOUGH AND WATCH OVER AND OVER TO TRY AND LEARN SOME "TRICKS" FOR MY REAL ESTATE PROJECTS!
Can we all shoutout his wife for always being such a good videographer!
Man how i wish i could've had someone this AWESOME in my life while growing up.
My son & i love ur content. I can't put it into words how much i appreciate going on these journeys with you and while getting my 9 year old interested in the science that goes into what ur doing. Thanks a million 👍👍👍👍
Sure, that's great!
There is a lot of work that goes into producing these projects and videos. Hearing that makes it so much more worthwhile.
i'm always amazed at the projects you work on. cool as hell
Thanks!
NOTHING BETTER (except my lady!!)
@@TechIngredients Extract 40 horsepower??!!
Much bigger turbos extracted only 8
Please do it!!! Even if it took 2 turbo
Pleaaaaaasssseee!!!
I certainly enjoy all your content, so I look forward to seeing more. Been subscribed for a while, through speakers, generators, and all and gained a lot of enjoyable insights. Thank you very much.
Thanks!
"goosing", and "kludgy" are apparently trope for first order manual error correction in a highly available system process. Love the detailed and concise videos.
This experience was more exciting (particularly when you guys turned the engine on) than any of my undergraduate aerospace classes or labs. Truly awesome how much detail you provide. Please keep making videos!
Thanks!
We plan to!
Love your videos, I don’t understand half of what you’re talking about but very informative n interesting. Keep up the awesome work n I look forward to your next instalment 👍👍👍👍
Love the videos always! On the topic of propane: a recent project I was on built some pretty incredible pulsejets which originally ran on liquid propane. We also had problems with the liquid (although different than yours: we had problems with actually vaporizing the fuel to burn it. In fact one of the coolest things I've ever seen was a glowing red hot expansion chamber...with frost on the bottom! The temp gradient was insane!). We, like you, moved to vapor propane instead, and have lots of experience working with it as a fuel. If you did want to stay with vapor propane, an option could be to place the propane tank in a bath of warm water, and then use waste heat form the engine to keep the water warm when the tank starts to freeze.
thank you for all your knowledge that you and your son are sharing! I hope you continue to teach until the end of your days- you are the science teacher I never had but always wanted. If this video is proof, its never too late to enjoy doing what you enjoy doing! God Bless you sir
You guys are the best, I love you
So cool. Keep it up, thank you for the videos with so much info and sharing knowledge!
I love your videos so much! Always entertaining and educating.
Amazing as always. Fantastic "Cooking with a Jet" intro
Man, those sounds bring back fond memories of when I, as an Air Force missile maintenance technician, used to run the GE-J85 engines on ADM20C Quail missiles in the 1970s.........
Thank you for the video !
coherent presentation of information every time.
This turbojet is the best series ! can't wait to see the new episodes !
I absolutely love this channel!!! You guys are awesome!
Loving your content. Thanks a lot for the knowledge drop.
Sure!
Thank you very much for your incredible videos.
I am learning so much and get a bunch of input for some new projects.
Great, I hope it helps!
Not many people make me feel stupid, you are one of them. Thank you so much for sharing this and the rest of your projects with us.
Sure, it's a lot of fun!
I like how you go from a very well spoken and highly knowledgeable man to a little boy (17:28) hopping in the jet stream. God I love science.
AMEN!!!
Very true what you are saying about the thrust produced in these homemade turbo engines.
I remember one guy who used a turbine from a turbocharger in line with his homemade turbojet to extract the power to power his gocart, but I can't remember where the project went or how it ended.
Keep it coming!
Bro, you have to be one of the coolest guys on UA-cam. Thank you for the content and education.
Great show love the tech information even thought a lot went over my head.
I personally rate the contents of this channel 10/10.
Accounting the intro and overall goofyness: 11/10!
The best series in your channel
After 1.5 years and I still am waiting the new video, the most awaited video!
Always great content 👍
Okay, that is an awesome little engine! Holy crap I did not expect that much power output or heat whenyou put the board into the exhaust. 😊✔
Very informative, i always wondered how this things work.
Pretty impressive! I would love to see what you do next with both types of jet engine.
If you were my neighbour, you would have trouble with keeping me away from your tests!
Thanks for the work / fun / effort / time / money that you put into providing these videos. 🙂👍
beautiful opening
These videos are helping me understand practical applications of engineering principles, it's like aerospace version of the 'practical engineering' channel. I do need to brush up on fluid and thermodynamics theory.
I just found this channel last night and I am in love. I'm a mechanical engineer by trade and this content hits me right in the warm, nerdy, center of my being.
Fantastic!
Hi,
First of all, thanks to you for explaining the basics of turbo jet engine nice demonstration..your channel is the first one i am subscribing...keep going..all the best
Thanks!
since finding your channel i have watched almost every single one of them, they are extremely educational and your ability to explain complex principles and problems is astounding. you should do a collaboration video with a channel like smarter every day or Mark Rober or one of your favorite channels, thanks.
Wooohooo! Thanks for all the knowledge .
Good stuff keep it coming
Love these videos
This series completes my life guys!!!!
I am really curious what your life's path looked like to get you where you are today. It is really scary to think about having kids when I see people like you because I realize how small my circle of knowledge really is. You should compile/share some of the most influential life choices, circumstances, and discoveries - if it's not too personal for public consumption. Either way, thank you for sharing your projects and everything that goes into those with us.
Awesome message and suggestions for their channel. I second that... Great video btw..
A lot smoother than before.
You know, some people become rich and famous just to have a fan like this. It does however remind me of my mother in law when she gets on her hobby horse. Fascinating!!! Thank you both 😎
Oh dang! I wish I was paying more attention in the last video in regards to the propane surging issues. I used to work on grain dryers (Vertec) and one of the main heating methods that they used were indeed liquid propane. One of the methods that they used for a more consistent burn was a 'Vaporizor' essentially prior to sending the fuel to get burnt, it would be passed into a hot zone (in front of the burner) wherein the liquid would turn to a vapor, guaranteeing the burn. Would be fun to experiment with wrapping a stainless fuel line around the burner housing you have prior to feeding it to allow the LP to turn.
Excellent Video and project.
Keep it up.
Thanks, more on the way!
This was awsome. I love it. Regards from Spain.
Thanks and welcome!
Fantastic Channel
This is the greatest intro to a UA-cam video in the history of UA-cam video intros.
I noticed that surging issue in the first video, and it reminded me exactly of the same issue with liquid and gas fueled camp stoves; in liquid feed mode at reduced pressures you end up with what seems like pressure resonance creating an inconsistent burn (as you said due to inconsistent vaporization, and presumably resulting backpressure), and in gas feed mode, it runs beautifully. Some stoves get around this by reducing the volume between the valve and the atomizer.
He mentioned that the combustion chamber is small with small turbos which makes it less efficient
Isnt it possible to use the large combustion chamber on the small turbo??
I had to chuckle at your little hop while standing in the exhaust. You look like the quintessential kid in a candy shop. I am jealous of your playtoys!
cant wait for more
So cool! I wish i could play with such contraptions
Thanks 🙏 a lot for all information In this video, this is my new project with my students
Great, food luck
A beautiful thing indeed.
that is a really nice setup you have .
For the propane perhaps use a liquid source, or large tank source, and then have an "evaporation chamber" and/or buffer tank.
As always very interesting. I would make one change to you setup, As you have the room under the bottom shelf,
I would alter the brackets holding your instrument gauges, and angle them to 45 degrees so you can see the gauges when standing up.
looking forward to the next instalment.
BEST CHANNEL EVER!
When you’re having fun, i’m having fun
With most RC turbines there's no fan infront of the RC centrifugal compressor blades, it's just the motor tied directly to the rotor. When the turbine shuts off, the motor remains on for cooling and it also acts as a flywheel+alternator.
So cool you guys!! @15:04 Don't ever lose that part of you...
Propane fueled recip engines usually have engine coolant heated regulators to maintain stable output pressures and to help vaporization. In future builds that might be worth looking into and/or bleeding off a bit of warm/hot air from somewhere to warm the supply tank. Can't wait to see this coupled to a matching power-take-off turbine. Your grand-finale should be a steam turbine powered by all the waste heat for your very own miniature combined cycle power plant!
Very nice, interested to see where this goes.
I'm 42 years old now and I hated going to school. If my professors were HALF as interesting as this man, I would have loved school.
I did too. School, is for the most part, boring.
Cool stuff !!!
It's an awesomely beautiful thing!
Awesome video, would love to see you guys add an afterburner in the future. Great job!
You guys are NUTS, keep it up!
Awesome!!!
