Should have tried!

Why would you cook a steak on a puppy

Please put a snowplow on Toast (Bald eagle face on it)!

He sounded asleep 😴

Even he doesn’t have a engine that’ll stay together.

@@dcskate1022 that smx will take 3

Yup.

It’s gotta be worth more than the smaller ones so I don’t understand why not choose that 88 sell it buy the one you want and have left over cash

We call em cobra chickens up here in the north 🍁

their tongues are serrated.

Mean as a rattlesnake here in Mississippi.

Canadian murder chickens is my go to😅

Damn things woulda grabbed a limb and started beating you with their wings up here in canuckistan haha

I actually feel like their test with CO2 was safer than a fluid test. Pressure tests are generally done with fluids because they don’t compress like a gas, so the variability based on temperature and density is gone. Fluids don’t like to compress so the accuracy is much better for doing a test at “X” pressure for “Y” minutes. Where a gas could change quite a bit as far as density and pressure over the same time frame. But had the CO2 failed it’s a gas so it doesn’t have the same energy to force debris outward as a liquid does, you also don’t have the risk of an injection injury from a pinhole leak and it’s inert so it can’t combust.

​@@WhyNot6243 With liquids such as water, the pressure within the test fluid effectively drops back to 0 as soon as it is allowed to expand even just a little bit. Gases have to expand to MUCH larger than their compressed volume to achieve the same pressure drop. At high pressures they do so *very* rapidly as soon as they are given the opportunity to do so, aka an explosion. Believe me, the CO2 they used in this video would have packed a massive "BANG". The potential energy stored by a compressed gas is several orders of magnitude higher than that of a liquid compressed to the same pressure within the same volume. Much more work is required to compress the gas vs. the liquid, and that work input translates directly into potential energy stored by the compressed fluid. Their horribly inadequate shields and complete lack of other PPE indicates that they had no idea how bad it would be if that pressure vessel were to actually fail during the test. EVERYONE in the room would have been injured to some degree, and there was a very real possibility of a fatality resulting. Testing the same pressure vessel to failure with water instead (after bleeding any trapped air) would have just resulted in it cracking/splitting somewhere - likely at the clamped joint - and then harmlessly peeing away all the water pressure within a fraction of a second. The most significant potential for serious injury would then be hydraulic injection if some idiot were dumb enough to hold his hand right over the point of failure as it failed. Yes, I am an engineer. Yes, I have safely conducted real tests on real pressure vessels (steam locomotive boilers). Those tests were ALWAYS performed with plain water at ambient temperature after displacing as much air as possible. Testing with a compressed gas amounts to testing a live bomb instead, which is exactly what any sane boiler test is trying to prevent...

@@WhyNot6243 you dropped the bag on that one chief, at least you tried to sound like you knew what you were talking about

@@sparcnut well I’ll have to take your word over mine as you are an engineer and I’m not opposed to admitting I’m wrong. I was only commenting off of personal experiences. As a machinist I’ve worked in shops that have made high pressure flanges and parts and done high pressure testing. I’ve seen high pressure tests fails and the hoses/parts fly across the test bay and water sprays all over the walls. Or been in test bays that have “battle” wounds all over the ceiling and walls. At the same time I have 20+ years experience racing blown alcohol cars and as a safety on them we run what’s called a burst panel in the intake manifold. In the event the supercharger makes too much boost or a rocker arm fails and you have a back fire into the manifold the burst panel will let go, instead of that pressure lifting the supercharger and intake. However anytime that large amount of air pressure is released, it does very little damage to the surroundings. It can sometimes crack the fiber glass bodies, which are already strained from travelling at 200+ mph. But I feel like cracking fiber glass takes a lot less force than launching a steel flange 15-20 feet in the air and embedding itself in the ceiling of a building. But like I said I could be wrong as I don’t have any official mathematical training to back up my claims.

​@WhyNot6243 an air rupture is effectively a bomb. However, a rupture in something like a hydraulic hose is like a laser, where it's spraying, you will take serious damage.

Hell even the slow mo of a burnout up close

Please get a tripod for the camera though. Safety squints only help so much.

yesss

great fucking idea that footage would be killer!

Cleetus should invest in a Phantom slo motion camera. He could use it for so many things. He could also rent it to a lot of RU-vidrs to recoup some of the money.

My thought exactly!! When I actually saw his hand pop into the video I didn’t think he was actually going to touch it. I was thinking “please don’t blow up Cleets hand please don’t” that would have been terrible.

He would be racing with 1 arm it’s in the man’s blood

Ive been watching for years and that was one of the riskiest things they have ever done and I dont even think they realize it. Seriously, dont mess around with pressure vessels.

I said the same thing. That's the first time I've been legitimately freaked out by some of the silly shit he's done. Sure, it's entertaining, but man, he could've killed and/or maimed every person in that damn room.

Fine line between brave and stupid. I call this one on the stupid side.

If they'd gotten near the 700psi... that would be insane destruction if any of it failed. 700 pounds per square inch... and how many square inches did it have to engage with?

I agree! That was freaking me out at that point it’s a pipe bomb! Still want to see more psi pushed at it but outside at a good distance

You think this little aluminum thing is scarier than doing burnouts in an on fire methanol car? Or going 240mph in a 1/4 mile?

@@HankeyMountainGarage Yes. They have loads of safety equipment and precautions for those other dangerous things, as you know. This was a pipe bomb. Nobody in that room was safe. Its lucky the regulator wouldn't let it get higher. He got way too excited and didn't think of the risks, or listen to the experts in the room that were adamant about NOT going to failure. Everyone makes mistakes, especially when they're excited, so no hate from me. I get it. And I'm pretty sure the comment section has already informed him enough that he's probably thought it through by now.

@@mayaswelltryit...8327 They were behind a steel skid plate.... It's not like he had it by his neck. And it was also hollow.. And aluminum not steel. It most likely would rupture, not actually explode into multiple pieces anyway.

Gotta show how good it works!😮😂

And?

@@ghost-carnage8964you don’t gotta, but if you must you use liquids to test the pressure not air

Remember kids, pressure vessels have round faces for a reason!

Yep, definitely cringeworthy IF he had gone up to failure! Coming from a Mechanical Engineer that has done LOTS of pressure testing you do NOT use pressurized gas/air/Nitrogen etc! You use a high-pressure hand pump with water or oil in the "test article". Water makes less of a mess when (not IF it lets go) and doesn't throw shrapnel everywhere! Those pumps will go up to 10,000 psi (some even higher)!

He should have done that with a pressure washer. Hydraulic testing to failure is way safer than using compressible fluids.

@@MrCarlozan96 Nope! A pressure washer is either low or full bore. No way to "sneak up" on the failure pressure and it doesn't shut off quickly enough...

Good thing it did hold up

@@fast97z24 Uh-oh! Did Cleetus accidentally create another STAN?!?!?! Sheeesshh. But, yeah, nobody is perfect; I'm sure the kid didn't deserve it but cleet is a human.

I know! these people are so calm like he's about to say just kidding or maybe they just think it's it's scam?

Painful to watch

rofl!

George ain’t got nowhere that needs runnin, a life I aspire to

Don't diss George that is my bro

He’s just needs to let loose of his inner Forest gump

As a pipefitter who regularly does hydros up to 3k psi, i understand the “I wanna touch it” thing. Mind you were working with large heavy wall pipe 😂

I don’t think they understood what happens when that canister blows lol. That 150psi regulator kept Garrett from about 7 lawsuits 😂

That was an automatic off switch waiting to happen

I was nervous pretty much the entire episode. If any of these things failed unexpectedly, it could have been extremely bad.

You are the only one. It's a setup and it's fake dude. I'm sorry you believe but it's all staged

Y'all must not have ever gotten to close to a swan. 4 times larger than a freaking Canadian goose. Can weigh up to 35 pounds and have a 4 foot long neck!

Hoping to see a couple get whacked at OTB Open this wknd.

@@NickBealed we get both up here, but the swana are waaaaay more skittish than the geese in my experience. i dont fk w/ geese unless its on a platter

@@NickBealed Yeah, plenty of swans up here too. They’re giant ass birds. I’m not fucking around with either one. 😂

Cobra chickens can be aggressive, especially in packs. Like you get 30 of um together and they’ll stop traffic and attack anyone who suggests they move.

got him rethinking that whole merger 🤣

Hell yeah... woulda straight fucked his day all to hell and honked the whole time!

They're just the right heighth to peck you in the pecker.

just about peck his eyes out 😮

The others would have attacked him Don’t ask how I know that 😉

Now I want to know.

😂right....? Makes me question what they engineered 😂😂😂😂

Because they understand the math behind your stupidity and already know the answer is potentially disastrous

They got this tin foil sheild

​@Real Richmond The funny part is they didn't engineer those clamps at all. Vibrant has been making these v band clamps for years. The only thing they did was put there name on it.

Its when we're not nervous is when you should be nervous.

Good, that means your brain is still working.

It’d obviously leak tho lol it’s not designed to be air tight nor does it need to be

I hate to say this but when cleetus said they have flex in them so you don't have to be exact with your pipe or welds he's half right and half wrong. Those can and will break and potentially the engine will suck down the debri. If your mounting those from the turbo which has no give and the other end is mounted to the intercooler that has no give when you start mak8ng boost it will actually put alot of uneven amount of force on the not so exact one. The test they just d8d proves that. When they applied pressure the pipe went from limp dick to rock hard cock.

@@alecmcjarison999 Huh? You're DONE!

air will escape where water won't

Water will escape at the same places as air at those pressures. The point isn’t leak detection, it’s the fact that air has potential energy at high pressures where most liquids do not. A water tank that ruptures at high pressure just sends out a jet of liquid, an air tank that ruptures will be more like a bomb.

And what if it actually broke, then what?

@@jonasthemovie well then we know the limits

@@adamrosenhamer3762 No. Someone would be seriously hurt or even dead.

@@jonasthemoviebro... buzz kill. its not that serious🤣🤣

@@adamrosenhamer3762 Getting killed is pretty serious.

Dude I dread the day when we don't get an upload but get e-blasted by articles about a catastrophic carbon cub nitrous fueled lost prop accident

@@toreyweaver9708 yeah I hope he was trolling about the safety wire on the bolts. 😅 I hope he takes a complete 180 degree approach to planes, as he does cars...

@@jbuch66koop it's a tricky one - if it keeps running then obviously you want the prop to stay on but the engine quits on you and won't restart, the prop's just drag and you're better off without it! 😂

@@billynomates920 yeah but that situation would never happen. If the engine quits, the prop isn't just gonna fall off. If the prop were to come.off mid flight. For one, who knows where it's gonna go. And at best, you're out floating. But that plane has the best chance of making a landing without and engine, just due to the short area it needs and ability to withstand a rough landing and not great surfaces. But that's IF the prop doesn't hurt the plane on its way out.

@@billynomates920 you would never be better off without it. the drag is minuscule compared to the overall drag induced by the overall airframe.

Thats a body man play! No loose materials dragging across cars

It’s a Poppop thing. Love to see it.

Sam is an old goof who won’t be around much longer. 🤷‍♂️

@@JSparrowist Sam is a lot smarter than you, and has a lifetime of experience with race cars. And Sam is 100% the coolest dude in these videos now. You’re just a rando on the internet that probably drives a Corolla 🥴 how sad for you

@@JSparrowist With a response like that I'd be willing to wager he outlives you.

yo actually, that'd be fire!

That rotor stayed without warping on the surface but it was cracked on the top

He's the best.

He part owner. I would too lol

Safety squints are a fun joke when there isn't a real danger.... The pipebomb in this video was one regulator away from a bad outcome.
