Building the world's first 'breathing' PC 

Whats happening with that $1000 LED project you were doing

It would be interesting to see if your PC hyperventilate when you play something heavy on it

That thing has good air pressure, ad a filter on the intakes and that pc will live a dust free life.

Would love to see your take on a PC UPS system please!

@@-powerband-gamer-6117 Gamers Nexus would like to speak to you about your dust filter comment.

Literally heavy breathing XD

Clever comment.

Funny how we're finally using *heavy breathing* to machines😏😲😂😂😂

Oniii Chan Yametee!!!

@@anant10k "pc chan omaewa sugoi"🌚😂

My thoughts exactly It's a true innovator and a beautiful mind thinking outside the box to do that.

Isn't a voice coil always used for this?

@@adamblomberg well I'm not educated in the techniques of engineering, hence not aware of it

Same here, I was astonished at this level of ingenuity; Simplicity in it's conveyor, walk along the practical problems, and the lack of being able to see problems that can't be novely solved was also inspiring! The whole idea of 'an only „clean/cold„ air case' using hydrokinetic magnetic pneumatics is also quite genius... That is displacing soo much air and with pretty solid pressure, design improvements might lead to new silent PC capabilities and maybe out preforming any water loop; imaging heat pipe jungles with fins every which way in that box with an air-conditioned via metallic water pipe from a freezer loop in the intake air source, keeping it dry. Mini-DataCeneric!

This is all genius.

Oh that would be awesome. I guess he'd have to use some relays and such to handle the extra current but it would work for sure. I'm not sure how it would be in practice though, all that variation might throw off the comfy rhythm & turn it into a device of chaos. :u

great now I'm just thinking about if for the water loop he made a heart-pump instead so the PC literally had lungs and a heart to keep itself cool and a natural stress reaction to intense situations. "Shit, aight guys I have to head off, my PC is having a heart attack"

The pc can now have panic attacks

@@s1ckkid396 That's okay, you can just give it a paper bag to breathe into.

That really caught my attention lol, dude is a DIY machine, he's good with arts and crafts and is an alchemist, damn

I wouldn't have thought to do it, but the moment he mentioned tubes too big and set down that jar it came to me what he was intending to do. Such a capable problem-solver!

Right! and then the sin wave he used to keep the bubbles away?! Immaculate

genius...

That part was wizardry

absolute genius. insane.

To be honest i know the proces he did but i didnt expect he would do it. In this moment i thought that that mans smart as hell

This actually could have been a video on it's own.

It's electrolysis Something in chemistry Known as electro plating But why he use nickel?

Lmfao top comment love it.

lmao

omg what a joke, so funny

Yooo

you made my day

This one^

YES! now that he's already made a desk computer with water-cooling, he could try this for air cooling!

i had this exact same thought, it's big but if the whole thing is built into your desk then it would be a non-issue

Then the valves would not work

@@peer7004 obviously a minor mod to the direction the valves hang would not be hard

that makes 0 sense but ok.

@@yushkovyaroslav it makes complete sense

@@sejed6445 I guess bunch of pointless worlds string together like some sort of word diarrhea make sense to you. I can also put bunch of words together. Banna is used by the PC like the sunset on the microburst sunset capacitor in ultra-anti cupcake gravity inquisitor. My point is this dudes statement is as useless as the machine that dude built...

@@yushkovyaroslav It looks modern because of how clean it's design generally is, feels steampunky because of the fact it's almost completely mechanical (the use of very basic materials helps with that too) It's a prototype that as far as i'm aware hasn't been built upon. While it was pretty much fully made for entertainment purposes, it's not at all useless as it's thermal performance is far greater than a standard PC water-cooling setup (as shown in the video) People are likely not going to build this, but there is still plenty of room for improvement (making it far smaller, faster, etc) and someone might or might not build on the idea; efficiently and passively cooling modern computers is still an area that's being explored.

@@yushkovyaroslav im sorry that you dont have the mental capacity to understand this in any other way than a surface level

haha, I thought about it too! A stroke of genius. Seems to be a regular thing on this channel.

Lmfao dude this cracked me up, thanks

@@Teh-Penguin I agree. I was think.. oh no... He'll provbably have to use rubber "O" rings... but that will probably not work... Then his genius thinking solves the problem perfectly. What a smart, smart man he really is.

On expert level.

Why no replies

And yet, this build is still something that anyone with basic tools, the skills to use them, and the budget for the off the shelf components and materials could make. Well, the patience to use those tools and skills on a project this big would also help.

@@Autoskip that just sounds like a professional with extra steps

Welcome to the future...

imagine the pc hyperventilating when the temps rize

This.

Lovingly terrifying

DUUUUDE that is a really good idea and would make the machine feel like a living breathing creature. It would almost be creepy to be in the room with it.

that would actually be really simple to do with the right water pumps, you could just connect them to the CPU fan/pump header and set a curve profile in the BIOS

But it would be inadvisable building an overclocked rig to do this. Good thing is that his project worked so well that it put up enough cooling for power-hungry, hot components under load with standard configuration. Using an OC rig might break the weakest link in that chain - the plastic tube that everything else revolves around to make the set work properly.

Very little to almost none of the PC contains iron. So its really an MDF, glass and aluminium lung.

Syncing a white light with breath effect to it would be cool!

This is probably better than some expensive fans I’d use it for sure plus it looks good lol

plus the slimness means its toll on square footage is the same as a normal ATX size rig anyway.

Yea, just having it sit up there by your computer desk wouldnt take up much more room and you could easily turn it into some kind of shelf or bookstand by building on top.

I think he built if bc its cool. No for sale or practicality. Maby. But yall hatin on hard

@@BbBb-bs8wk , absolutely no one in this thread said anything that could be considered hating.

man couldve just bought a new magnet that fits the tube

@@npas76 That gives the same problem as with the tubes, manufacturing tolerances. But it does give him more chances.

He just went full NileRed. What an unexpected flex.

I fucking loved that it blew my mind, not that I necessarily wouldn’t have known the solution but to actually push through and clearly succeed in diy plating and this whole build

he could just glued something to the magnet to make it thicker, but who am i to criticize XD

GENIUS

Every water cooled machine is air cooled

It has lungs.

This is true for basically all water cooled computers. How to cool the water loop tends to be some kind of fan, or in this case an alternative system to push air around.

@@thatkidmingming7390 yup

So true. I was like why the hell use the magnet of a speaker to suspend it. Then he proceed to actually use the speaker to add a sinewave genius.

I was laughing at first because I also use random things to suspend my experiment subjects... but when I realized and he said that it's for vibration. I was abashed 🤣🤣🤣

I feel the same way. Very cool to see.

@@MWWISH knowing how something works and actual problem solving skills are two different things. no need to be cocky about it

wizardry

like a scene out of Breaking Bad

that wasn't chemistry it was alketesim

Actually it's just simple electroplating, in first world countries this practice are regulated heavily because it's toxic. In third world countries though, it's thrive, and used in many metal industry. If you see shiny metal things, most likely it is from electroplating process

That's where my mind was officially blown as well

i was always impressed by this guy but that just took it to another level

I worked in a chromium plating lab in quality control, and we were able to plate accurate to the 1 thousandths of an inch, it was cool!

@@Markus-fw4px Yes but the impressive thing is he does it all. I assume those repair/mechanic channels doesn't build computers or artificial sun 😄

@@Markus-fw4px Doesn't change the fact that it's god damn impressive though!

I think it's the breadth of knowledge that Matt has that is what's most impressive.

Impressive, but excessive. He could have just wrapped it in heat shrink or tape until it fit snugly in a slightly larger tube.

Hahaha

Instead of finding Cinderella, he just put some thick socks on the 40th foot he tried.

And then he decided to just giveup on cinderella and instead do some plastic surgery to get cinderella's foot to fit the shoe.

i still cant get why he didnt just sand off the magnet to fit the tighter tubes...it would have saved him a lot of chemistry lol

100% CLAP

Like McGyver and Bill Nye had a baby. What a wild solution (no pun intended).

yeah, seriously clever solution,I would have just tried to wrap it up and polish it, but this was perfect

@@walker1054 shaving down the magnet likely would have worked, but you wound not only need a lathe, but one that is very well set up to be able to take such minuscule amounts of material off. Not sure if that would have been easier than what he did. But buying magnets as well is a great idea. He likely would have gotten a match that way.

Yeah, that was seriously impressive. I thought he was going to sand the magnet down somehow. In a million years, it would not have occurred to me to somehow make the magnet bigger. This guy never fails to impress me.

@@walker1054 shaving it down would work, but you’d end up with a million tiny pieces of nickel attached to the magnet which will be almost impossible to get off. If he needs that close of a fit, a tiny piece of nickel could end up scratching the pipe which in turn will increase its diameter and thus decreasing its efficienty

Absolutely yes.

Was thinking the same thing... And entirely home plating setup.. no exotics

Yeah I was so surprised when I saw he was using electrolysis, absolutely genius

Im suprised that it increaed the diameter by almost .5mm I normally think of electro plating being only a few microns thick

I thought he was going to sand the magnet down to size. Electrolysis was a much more elegant solution.

I'd have come up with trying rolling some electrical tape around it 👌😂

Notice it's ADR'd in, he may well have been going on a rampage

🤣🤣🤣🤣 relatable

LMAO!

hahaha

Dude all his projects combined will definitely be greater than a sum as individuals

Until you realize he used a 520 watt passive PSU 🤦‍♂️ This PC isn't sustainable and is only for show. If he tried actually using that PC with those components it would melt.

I agree with your idea, as i do think it looks like it. The bellow being the lung, the motherboard and components being the brain and the water pump being the heart of the system.

@@LuxGamer16 it sounds like its breathing too

Maybe the radiator is the lungs, as it takes the water and turns its surface area way up so that it can exchange something with air.

He should pulse the light in red like a heart beat

Very General Grievous

Have you seen Tech Ingredients air conditioner computer system. though its super loud yet you can overclock your pc to the max while keeping it far cooler than any water cooling system could. Its a super cool concept that would work if you duct the air flow in and then out of your office. This breathing unit is very cool as well as you could adapt 2 wings on to it to allow the ac air come in and then the exhaust vent going out side. One would have to devote an entire wall and custom build a desk and everything. Though I wonder if you could put two lungs ( breathing parts in so that you can have your large monitor in the middle...

Until you realize he used a 520 watt passive PSU 🤦‍♂️ This PC isn't sustainable and is only for show. If he tried actually using that PC with those components it would melt.

@@PabzRoz He literally loaded it with prime95 and 3dmark. In what scenario would it get any hotter?

@@ThisIsTheInternet What? How hot the GPU and CPU get is irrelevant to the issue... He never showed how hot the PSU was getting. It was guaranteed running hotter then the sun. Also he never showed the HWinfo and what speed the CPU/ GPU were running at. The 5950X and 3080 automatically downclock themselves for power management in order to keep their temps under control. Basically they're running way slower then they should be. That PSU is not capable of running a 5950x and 3080 at their rated specs. Any real world workload and long term use would not be sustainable on a 520w PSU. Stop believing everything you see on RU-vid. Even a monkey knows a 520w PSU is too low for those components let alone a passive one.

@@ThisIsTheInternet That's not the point. When temps get too high or there's not enough power draw the CPU and GPU downclock in order to keep temps from getting to high forcing them to run much lower the spec. But the real problem is how hot the PSU is getting. Not only is the PC running slower then it should be and going to experience constant shutdowns but with the way a 3080 spikes it's liable to eventually melt out the PSU or catch fire. No way would this PC last with that small of a PSU.

Indeed

I'm having a hard time figuring out how this system works. How is the fan able to get air from one side to the other when the air valves close on one side? Am I missing something here?

​@@astroalyn2010 I think I was able to figure out what's going on from shots at 11:59 and 17:53. The first thing to consider is that each half (R/L) is in some way isolated. So you can consider what happens on the left side, and then just flip it over and you get the same effect on the right. Walking through the cycle: You start in the Piston Left (PL) position. All the pressures have equilibrated and there's no air moving. Then the piston moves left->right. The volume of the "breath chamber" increases, meaning that air needs to be pulled in to equalize the pressure. This air has only two places it can come from on the left side: the vents to the outside and the vents to the "CPU chamber". The CPU chamber is denied, though, because of the one-way flap valves (17:53) that allow air to only go left->right (into the CPU chamber and not out). So instead the air comes from the outside flaps on the left, which open in the direction of Outside->Inside. This air then flows into the breath chamber, equalizing the pressure. The piston completes this half cycle and ends up in on the Piston Right (PR) position. Then it starts its backward R->L movement. This *decreases* the volume in the left side of the breath chamber, forcing the air out to keep the pressure from rising. Except this time, the flaps to the outside are *closed* (the only open in, remember). Instead, the air gets forced out into the CPU chamber, and then out a set of flaps in the top, which only open up. Then the piston completes the R->L half cycle, makes it back to PL position, and everything starts over. The exact same thing is happening on the right side of the chamber, except with the opposite direction. When the piston is moving L->R, the air is getting pumped into the CPU chamber, and when the piston is moving back R->L, that half is having its air supply built back up. The design is slightly inefficient (brilliant, but a first draft) because it's having each half work independently. If the breath chamber were open to the air on the right and left (so not in the bigger box) and had the flaps directly inside, then the piston could force the air straight up through a pair of one-way valves on the L/R side. This air could then move *up* through the CPU chamber, rather than moving side/side. Then you could have something where the air direction ends up flowing up on both the right and left strokes of the piston, meaning the air doesn't have to stop and "reset" each time. This would reduce turbulence in the CPU chamber and let smooth laminar flow carry more heat out, and could substantially reduce the size of the overall system. As I mentioned before, this is very much how a steam engine works, or an air compressor, if you're working in reverse (www.aircompressorscout.net/wp-content/uploads/reciprocating-piston.gif although note that this is a single stroke design. @DIYPerks could totally do that method, but the double-sided design looks *way* cooler).
