  • BRB, gonna make 20 of these and attach them to my paramotor
  • If my car ever runs out of gas, I hope Integza pulls up and asks: "are you out of fuel my darling?"
  • You actually don’t want a centrifugal fan (that pulls air in from the front and directs it sideways). What you actually want is an axial fan (it pulls air in from the front and sends it out the back).
  • The angry sound while the CNC is removing material is due to the long length of the bit causing chatter. If your end mill is further into the collet, it should help. I’m not sure if you’re manually putting in feeds/speeds or if the CNC is calculating it, but it could also be that you need a higher or lower spindle RPM or feed rate. Hope this helps in the future!
  • Video idea: make this on a plane! The thrust seems to be good enough. And it can be made easily by attaching wings to it!

    Made on of these about 30 years ago using exhaust pipe scraps to melt aluminum in a kiln, also used it to warm up a cold winter basement, firing this up would heat a cold basement in very few minutes to comfortable. Brought back some fun memories.

    Hey you need to find a friend who's into glass blowing and switch from plexiglas to real glass! PS you might want to add some temperature probes to see where the hot and cold spots are happening; I did this when testing vaporizing burners and it really helped. PPS you need to use cutting fluid when machining metals: your cutters will cut faster and last longer. :-)
  • I‘d recommend to use (lots of) ethanol as a lubricate when working on aluminium parts. That makes the surfaces smooth and protects the tools.
  • Couple of things I noticed (potential video idea?) 1) try injecting the fuel at the front (nearest the fan) of the flame tube, so it has a better chance of lighting and staying lit. I saw a lot of unburned fuel was just hanging around inside the engine. 2) Jet engines actually do use "normal" fans, but have multiple stages (decreasing in size) to compress the air more

    the satisfaction of having a print come out well is definitely a joy
  • I love how you get to all the design issues some of them in a much different order than I would have but you seem to be adapting a very basic design to a more modern one
  • You should design a rig where you can measure the thrust of your engines
  • Video idea: You should now figure out how to attach this device to any type of vehicle, flying one or just a car and find out how much real trust it have 🥳 Keep in mind that Tomatoes are disgusting! 🤢
  • You should make a transparent resin 3d printed rotary engine with 3 cylinders. It would be really interesting seeing all three cylinders working together.
  • @CoolAsFreya
    For the next version try to measure the thrust generated, it'd be interesting compare just the fan versus with the afterburner running!
  • You need a brass coil to let the liquid butane turn back to a gas, the brass burner rings are not very efficient when there is liquid spraying out. This is the reason you are not getting a consistent flame.

    When you said “l think the can is empty” and picked up the drill, my first thought was Oh Fark here comes a Darwin Award.
  • @robking6137
    Hint from an old machinist, when machining aluminum cbn cutters are amazing. Carbide also works well with the use of a lubricant. Light oils like penetrating oils, wax or water based machining coolants really help. You'll be surprised at the difference in the cutting finish and accuracy.

    Adding hot air and adjusting the fan gives you a fantastic result 🎉
