    The leafblower bit actually could work with a specifically designed "sail". If the sail is efficient enough at redirecting the air from moving forwards to moving backwards, then it's essentially equivalent to the fan blowing into a U-shaped pipe, which would expel the air backwards, moving the vehicle forwards. Or, simplifying by removing the pipe altogether, just a fan blowing backwards.

      Look up a "Target-type thrust reversal" for a version that was made by serious professional engineers.
      Basically for some Jet Airplanes, turning around the engine is impossible, so they have a mechanism that can basically place an umbrella at the back to redirect thrust forward to help with slowing down a plane on landing.

    Regarding the backpack: when you study vibrations in engineering, you learn that there's a specific frequency in which you can vibrate a spring-mass system where it will not transfer that movement to the mass. That's why there's a "sweet spot", and all the people in the commercials were running with that sweet spot frequency, where the backpack barely moved even while they were running (i.e. the movement of the person was barely transfered to the backpack). This depends on the spring constant of the springs used, and on the mass of the system (the backpack and whatever's inside it). So if Mark were to put more weight in the backpack, he'd have to find a different running frequency in order to get the same effect.
    Thanks for sharing all these cool experiments and knowledge with us, Mark! You're awesome!

      Now I'm wondering if it was possible to adjust the stiffness of the spring on the fly. It might be completely impossible to do this to a degree where it can be controlled electronically in real time, but it's a fun thought to imagine the backpack changing its spring constant to stay in the sweet spot for any given mass and walking speed.

    • @jarsky
      @jarsky 4 місяці тому +63

      @@marzipancutter8144 You could probably leverage automotive engineering concepts for this rather than electronically. If you look at suspension, there are progressive springs which as the spring compresses changes the resonant frequency. You can also get dual rate springs, where you have a main spring of one size/rate, and another spring of another below it on the same strut. That would be ideal for riding on the main spring and retaining resonance over the flat, and the shorter stiffer spring for taking the big dips, and again should stop it from falling into another phase frequency. But of course you would still have the issue of the frequency being dependant on the weight of the pack.

    That backpack reminded me, if you walk with your drink, the equal frequency of your steps is building up waves in the mug, so ultimately you spill it. I do my "silly walk" with unevenly distributed steps and it truly helps make my way without spillage. With that walk I basically create waves that go against the waves I already created in the mug, mimicking how active noise cancelling works in ANC headphones.

      @DiffYT 17 годин тому

      @@eggs4561 He's not wrong. There is such a thing as a thrust mechanism that can transfer energy into movement going the same way that the thrust is ejected but it's essentially just a funnel that redirects the flow of air... behind you, which is already what a fan would do if it is pointed behind you without any sail at all. It's also disingenuous to call a funnel a "sail" and that funnel has to be like a pipe, taking the vast majority of energy and looping it around behind the fan to create the same effect as turning the fan around.
      These types of designs are called "Target-type thrust reversal systems", which are simply not possible with a traditional sail or umbrella and fan, so no, Mark is correct.

Most of the air would escape sideways and the force of the thrust is pushing equally against the system generating the force as it is pushing opposite against the umbrella. This literally does not work, it is scientifically proven, the only way it would work is if you could funnel ALL of the air being pushed, back behind the thing creating thrust, which in turn, has the exact same effect as just turning the thing generating thrust 180 degrees and ditching the funnel completely. An umbrella is not concave enough to push air backwards, therefore that does not work.

      Interestingly enough, it does actually work sometimes. If the sail is curved then it redirects the airflow from the fan backwards which creates forward momentum. At this point though you may as well just point the fan backwards (like he says in the video). The reason Mark's doesn't work in the video is that the sail he used is flat. So it's directing all the air to the sides so the forces cancel out and doesn't move the boat at all. If he used a curved sail he may have actually seen an effect.
      I did this experiment in high school and managed to get a model boat to move.
      Edit:
      I just saw he used a curved sail in the life size boat.
      He probably didn't see a noticeable effect because the fan is too small and the boat has too much mass. Also there was probably wind that was impacting the boat more than the fan.

      But he got blowing your own sail part wrong. Blowing your own sail does work, just not efficient. We have reverse thrusters on planes that use that principal. It's not like pulling yourself up by pulling on your hair. The energy is contained within the system. Blowing your own sail has energy escaping the system, just that most are going sideways with a little going backwards, hence the inefficiency.

    Blowing your own sail, while wildly inefficient, does actually work with a traditional CURVED sail.

      🙂Я просто хочу получать удовольствие от жизни! Я не хочу хамить, скандалить и что-то кому-то доказывать, не хочу тратить время на общение с теми, кто мне неприятен, с людьми, которые меня не понимают, и пытаться достучаться до них. Не хочу пытаться вмещать свои мысли в чужую голову. Мне некогда! Я хочу жить своим настоящим. Я просто хочу ЖИТЬ! Радоваться каждому моменту, каждой улыбке прохожего, каждому дню, в независимости от того, солнечный он или дождливый. И очень не хочется разменивать эту потрясающую жизнь на пустоту, мелочи и бессмыслицу….
