- Dutch Oven uses rocket engine principles to burn bigger, hotter and badder than any other flamethrower robot before it
#nhrl #engineering #robotfight #flamebot #flamethrower
This is the kind of badassery I’ve come to expect from NHRL
The combustion module he designed is SICK! Love it!
It’s basically a rocket engine. This is how rocket engines are cooled
@@jugganaut33they need that liquid O2
@@jugganaut33 Heck yeah! Use the fuel to cool the combuster AND preheat the fuel for better combustion.
Plus that sculpted 3D printed metal fuel tank
😍
For those who didn’t understand. Flame go long and flame go short. Flamethrower go brrrrr
additionally, short flame go brrrrrt more angy
Welldone showing your rock like intellect
@@mick20075It takes more understanding to describe a concept in simple terms than parroting complex terms. That said, if you have a wide vocabulary, it's hard to resist using it.
Also: flame is hot. The fuel is cold. By coiling the cold fuel around the hot nozzle before it's ignited he prevents overheating. Aka "like a rocket engine". It's fucking genius.
@@stevenhetzel6483 so in other words, it burns shit and it’s fucking awesome.
Using the gas expansion for cooling is actually brilliant
Its standard in rocket/jet engines.
@@Eluderatnight it being used in such a way doesn't make it less brilliant... and using this in a battle bot is just as brilliant
@@Eluderatnight "it's not that brilliant it's just rocket science" like cmonn
@@Eluderatnight Try harder, kid
@@sophien3825Literally 😂😂
My dude basically made a combustor chamber out of a freaking jet engine.
as someone who actually builds small jet engines... yeah, he really did
Is creating napalm against the rules?
@@Renzyain another video, I saw someone say you can only use a specific fuel, (kerosene I think?) to avoid damage to the arena.
@@dylanb2990 only gaseous fuels, so butane
I mean, NHRL has seen bots use actual small jet engines so...
This the kid that won season 6 with Tantrum although he was not the driver. Driver was very good.
Dillon is a phenomenal driver! There's a reason I didn't drive Tantrum, and his driving may have been the difference in us winning S6.
@@alexgrant1808 Sad never got to hear from him on camera after matches. He’s a ‘beast on the sticks’ lol. Looking forward to seeing him, you and the rest of the team scrappin’ it out next season!
Cheers from PA! 🤙
Very hyped to see more firebots.
FINALLY, A FLAME BOT THAT CAN ACTUALLY COMPETE! IVE NEVER WANTED ANYTHING MORE!
Finally. Someone who actually put some thought into designing a flamethrower as a weapon, not a gimmick.
3D printed aluminum is crazy
I was rather impressed as someone who studies rocket engines. The fuel cooling system is a smart idea indeed
Dutch Oven my beloved
“It’s not rocket science!”
*yes it is*
What makes yours different? “We tried Acetylene and Oxygen, but it didn’t do well against the non ferrous alloys, so we switched to a 60A plasma cutter, and a proprietary emp weapon made out of a degaussing coil for cathode ray tubes. If this doesn’t work, we are contemplating a new design after the Ukrainian grenade dropping drones. Given the size of the ring and the kill radius of the grenade, we think we should stand a fair chance! 😂😂😂
I fear this might be the tipping point at which fire based weapons have matured to be too powerful, so just dominate.
I hope you're right! But until you have a fire based weapon win events consistently they aren't too powerful
I'm not sure the weapon itself is too strong, but improved engineering combined with the increased use of plastic 3d parts may cause them to dominate until people think of better ways to be heat resistant.
More likely the cost floor is just going to rise even further. That part you thought you could get away with FDM printing yourself? Now you have to order it SLM printed out of aluminum.
Two words to contradict your statement. "Depth Charge"
@@HorizonSniper__ Depth Charge would just spin around because it has bad movement while Dutch Oven cooks it and slowly backs up. Depth Charge would have to hit the arena wall and launch itself at Dutch Oven to have a chance, and it has to make that contact before it's cooked.
Unless you meant something else.
I mean… it’s like with tanks… don’t gotta penetrate the armor of you can just cook the inhabitants alive
Unless the tank's internals themselves catch fire, that's extremely difficult to do. Modern MBTs have a firewall between the engine and the compartments that prevent fires from spreading and the engine bays themselves have anti-fire measures.
If you're referring to simply heating up the tank from the outside, that's nearly impossible. Tank armor is ceramic and has an integrated NBC system that insulates the crew.
A tank burnout happens after the armor has been penetrated and the systems already compromised.
@@theusher2893Okay, but are your typical Battlebot's internal components that well-protected?
The fact that the tank is 3D printed aluminum is wild to me, it looks like a cast factory part. That technology is developing so fast.
Imagine what this game is going to be like in 30 years
That’s what they said 30 years ago😭🤣💯
damn that thing is INTENSE!
Next version use Greek fire
Is Greek fire different to American fire?
@@NHRLIf you actually don't know, Greek fire is a mythical chemical reaction the ancient Greeks found that could make fire burn underwater and be unable to be put out. It's also green. We don't really know what the formula was to make it anymore. The closest we can get to the Greek stories is Napalm.
@@tgedragon9008Aren't we relatively certain it was real, used by the Roman Empire, and especially deadly because of their awesome mechanical engineering? They sprayed it on ships I believe, and the current position is it was based around refined fuel, like naptha.
@@tgedragon9008suitable simulacrum can be made from animal fats. The issue is controlling the jelly like substance. If it spreads all over the ring...
@@GtsAntoni1 oh, we are fairly certain it was real, we just don't now what it was. Simmilar to roman concrete, the recipe has been lost over time.
Are there any rules that you can have a bot that just grabs another and then straight up explodes?
I think that would likely be suicide, but idk
@@withallduerespect3001not if you had a swarm of small lightweight suicide bots with at least one surviving the match
Explosives, projectiles, and jamming are usually banned
So it is just more complex, but more stable flamethrower
All fun and games until a propane tank ruptures with a spark
In layman's terms: When you park an afterburner right Infront of a thing, put it in neutral and wack the throttle to 100.
Bro casually explains how to destroy his battle bot
Been working on jets most of my life, that's super impressive for what it is.
Yeah, but are these flame throwing bots ever able to get the temp up high enough on the opponent to do internal damage? All these bots have aluminum housings which dissipate heat really well. Seems more like a gimmick than a real damage dealer.
That’s what the bear-trap bit’s for
There's another video of one melting a bot with a plastic casing. As 3d printed parts become more common fire based weapons will become stronger.
Depends.. some bots have plastic wheels and frames for weight issues. It is alot for show but it can do real damage as well.
Mr Beast in an alternate universe
I love these breakdowns. Spinners should get a steeper weight penalty for not being nearly as interesting.
Now replace the butane with Clorine trifluoride for the real fun to begin .
Nice!
Its the same cooling mechanism in some airplane engines
Man I wish they had one of these near my house
I love this bot
I love when Jeremy can't help but laugh at Tom's bits and death screams
Would the rules allow for starter fluid? I know BattleBots used to ban any kind of lingering substances
Yeah honestly a good controlled flame can be immensely hot. I made some forced air/fuel and fuel/no2 burners and that shit is so extreme it warms my 6x7 meter shed up by 10 degrees celcius in seconds.
Waiting for the oxy/acetylene upgrade!
Probably to heavy to be usable on most of these bots.. you'd need a very light weight frame and build.. your own bot wouldn't be able to withstand the heat
Oxygen supplies are not allowed in NHRL
Why aren't they using liquid like napalm which sticks on the target doing much more damage, or a blow torch for much more concentrated effect
I wonder if you get one that pinches a bot and has kinda like an oxy acetylene torch just to melt theough small spots
Who else wants to see them scale up this thing for the big boy Battlebots arena?
Let Battlebots know you want more fire and maybe they'll loosen up the Flamethrower rules for us
Napalm would be affective it would probably ruin the arena tho...
This is guy must be an engineer, or he watched a shit ton of UA-cam
I'm excited for when we can start using laser weapons
any laser that can damage a bot can also instantly blind audience members through plexiglass. There's no way.
Why did they censor commercial
That bot is pissing flames!😮 🔥
Now I wonder, if it against the rule to use chemicals like white phosphorus
If it is a war crime then it is probably not allowed.
They should have called this thing demon mouth lmao
Put map gas in it lol
Separate oxygen tank wpuld be hell
Oxygen not allowed
Why hasnt anyone put a welding torch of one? Could be interesting
A rank hilquish vortex tube??
loved seeing these guys at opensauce
What makes it different? Its flames arent just entirely for show
Could you put napalm in there?
He named it Dutch Oven...
Add some glycerine to the mix and it might actually be an effective weapon
Elo called he wants to give you job lmao
Honestly I really doubt an ACTUAL rocket engine would be allowed. Because... say it with me know, DIY and rocket engines equals BOMB!
There is a bot with a small rocket engine built into it.. the biggest complaint was how loud it was in the arena
Japanese Dutch oven
Mmmmmmm….
Roasted robot……
What? No afterburner also?
Is there not a problem with it roasting the polycarb like that?
he uses the expanding gas to cool the chamber down
Is napalm allowed?
It is amazing 🎉
How long till they just start mounting guns on them
Gyroscope is usefull
Why would you explain how to build your secret weapon?
Seems to have no effect.
Hail Satan
I like how UA-cam for Android offered to translate this comment to English. I dunno, seems pretty clear-cut to me :D
@@Wireball coz I am from a non-English speaking country I guess where Satan word means something else.
It's aluminium, not aluminun
It’s aluminum in the US.
@@jbsbrickkiln9254 its aluminium in normal world
@landsknecht_voran maybe you should go look up the history of that word. You'll feel like a fool saying what you said.
@@joehorn1762 maybe you should stop thinking American English isn't dumb
Tomato potato
Useless
Aloooooominnnnnummmm😂😂😂😢
