Primitive Technology: Cord drill and Pump drill

  • I made a cord drill and then upgraded it to a pump drill. A cord drill is basically a spindle with a fly wheel attached so it looks like a spinning top. the middle of a piece of cord is then put into a notch at the top of the spindle. The ends of the cord are then wrapped around the spindle and then pulled quickly outwards causing the drill to spin. The momentum of the fly wheel causes the cord to wrap back around the spindle in the other direction. When it stops the cords are pulled outwards again and the drill spins in the other direction.
    I made the first one with a stone flywheel then made fire with it in the same way I make fire with fire sticks. Then I made and fired some clay fly wheels, made another drill with one of the fly wheels and fitted a stone drill bit to the end. This one I use for drilling holes in wood.
    I used the new drill to make a hole in a piece of wood. I then put the spindle of the original cord drill through the hole in the wood, tied the ends of the cord onto the piece of wood and it became a pump drill. The cords were wrapped round the spindle as normal but now a pumping action of the wooden cross bar created the same action.
    This was an interesting project. For fire making I'd stick to fire sticks because the equipment is easier to make. But for people with soft hands they could use the cord drill as it won't give them blisters. It should be added that the pump drill actually took longer than the cord drill (cord: 32 seconds, pump 1 min 30 seconds -the pump drill scene was edited down to make it watchable). The pump drill had more moving parts and was constantly having problems. As a fire making method I'd choose the cord drill over the pump drill unless all the parts were well made.
    The main purpose I'd use these tool for is drilling holes rather than fire making. It was reasonably good but the stone bits I made could be improved and their attachment to the shaft also needs some thought. If the bit loosens and gets off axis slightly the whole thing wobbles.
    These drills are impressive inventions and show potential for carpentry use later on.

    I had a "wilderness survival" class I took in college, and I'm now seeing why no one could get the cord drills to work and the instructors even brought lighters along to use instead- there was no fly wheel! We had to work in teams of two just to get the spindle to not fly out of the notch, and even then it was hard to keep it from doing that. My soft hands thank you for this video.

    -faster spin without too much force
    -keeping the drill in place

    What I love about this channel is that it shows ancient people were not "primitive" in the sense of stupid. They were extremely intelligent, and made the best use of what was available to them at the time. People speak of cavemen as if they were different from us, but 10,000 years is not even a blink of an evolutionary eye. They were exactly the same as us. Respect to the maker of this video for showing how it may have looked to survive in a world before modern conveniences.

      +Marialla you are right. But i think that now with our pure intelligence (not knowledge), if we were put to the same situation like our ancestors, we would've surpassed them within maybe one generation, whereas they needed thousands of years to come up with something little more advanced.

      +coabg Actually it will be opposite. We will fall behind some generation behind. The level of our intelligence is equal, but our knowledge in this surroundings they are more developed. For an example, take a normal man and put it in this conditions of life, i can tell you, he will not survive more than a year(in best scenario). If that man is not knowleged like this man in the video or even half of it, the man from the example is doomed. Today people can only use tv, smartphone and refrigerator, to make own fire whit out a ligher ... pfff no chanse, most people dont even know that clay can be use for building. And the same people in a world of primative, will call the man of the video idiot, will never listen to him, but will want him to do it for them. Our generation have become lazy, less curious and not thinking.

IF you read history then you know there more than just humans on earth and by mmy judgement id say 4/5 earth "human pop" is not human at all. (it all happend 7000years ago and its easy to see if you read histpry combined with the few first pages of the bible + some modern archeology founds) And god said "Behold for man has now become one of us..." aliens.. they live among us already and they are the reason earth is being detroyed, cause when you live forever, you need a purpose. i know it sound fucked up :(
      Also it will never happen because then rich pigs had to give up their power, and there wouldnt be brainwashed people working for them.
      It all boils down to the individual. I will never own a car. i try not to buy my food at a store, i try not to buy clothes, going all the way down to using a massproduced scissor. And its difficult, cause you look like a hobo when you live like this, and when you look like a hobo, people look at you like you're shit (cause they are brainwashed into having that mentality) and that is by far the hardest thing about it.
      It is actually easy to save the planet. the less you do the more you save earth. dont own a phone.. don't own a computer, dont use internet, dont fancy the idea of jobs, school, and governments (i know i write you now from a pc, with internet, bnut i didnt own a pc for 5 years, and i still dont want a phone. cause phones and cars are the 1. freaking weapons of mass detruction)

      Made with very specific stuff, only find in specialized stores and they say it is for survival situations when no one will carry such ugly and bulky tool 24/7 waiting for a disaster to happen, when buying a lighter an carry it 24/7 is so easy and convenient, those are just posers.

However, starting from scratch is always the hardest and the one to warrant the most praise. You shouldn't even need tools to survive if you're trained.

      This guy has technological knowledge. Bear Grylls has survival + tech knowledg. That's why that boy would not stand 1 day alone in the forest.

    I remembered my father when I was young,one time he was fixing his truck, but the electricity went off while he's using the drill.. We were all laughing at him bcos he got some ropes, a sort of round thing that looked like a gear but not, the nailbox, and his pool stick, and he made a drill that looked similar to this one.. He just smirked at us when he finished drilling the metal and just kept on his work..! So every time he says watch and learn, I keep my mouth shut and expect to be schooled by his work tricks..hehe
