@@thekingsilverado9004 But, Tesla cars out perform Detroit models, only after being in business for a few years. They're currently building the world's largest automotive manufacturing plant (in China)and revolutionizing Lithium battery technology. You ain't seen nothin, yet. BTW, SpaceX is going to Mars.😎
I mean, while the craftsmanship here IS very impressive, I think most people that use LEGOs or hardware store parts do so because they don't have access to this kind of expensive precision machinery. It's more than a question of craftsmanship alone
@@Sven-kc7rq no, I think your missing the point. It doesn't matter if you 3d print, if you use Legos, if you use expensive machines or hardware store supplies. If you make something such as a model engine, then it's craftsmanship. Simple as that.
I literally NEVER comment on RU-vid videos or really even read the comments. But this right here, is the truest of all things i've ever read on the internet.
- No flashy BS thumbnail or clickbaity title - No annoying and pointless intro/outro blather - No annoying and pointless music, just pure manufacturing sounds - No pointless and distracting captions - Pure making, making, making right from the start - Perfect camera work, allowing the viewer to follow along - A simple "thank you for watching" at the end. No "please like, please comment, please subscribe, please buy this, please let me annoy you with my other videos" etc. Thank you ever so much for making this dump called RU-vid a better place!
As a retired manufacturing engineer and programming with APT in in the early stages of machine programming I must say that your video was a pleasure to watch and your little engine that could was AWSOME.
This video made my day. Me and 8 months old boy were watching this video without blinking and were enjoying all the precision machining, tools used and the lustrous metal pieces. The final outcome was just WHOA!!!!
The whole point is the process of making an interesting device, and that is fantastic. But the very best part of these videos is the sharp and just-right editing.
Thank you for sharing, I can't stop admiring your work. When I was in engineering school we made engines plain parts, but were big jobs, your work has more meaning because of the size, precision and detail. All the best from the distance, Montevideo-Uruguay. Be safe and have a good day.
Very cool to watch. I especially loved the genius idea of the off-center crankshaft sections serving as cams, each closing microswitches for the pistons' timing. I do see some runout in the working motor, rather unexpected given the precise tools used to make it.
Watching you come up with these things I am left with a sense of awe and relaxation all at the same time. (1st video I watched was the cylindrical safe this is my 2nd. Can't wait for the rest of them...lol) You don't show too much and you don't show too little. And the sounds of the machines are just enough of a sample to give us the idea of the energy involved. You are highly skilled and much appreciated. AWE by definition, you are challenging my understanding of the world
Hey My Friend, I have to tell you that me, being an Electrician, mechanic, and Electrical Engineer for 40 years, You my friend are very talented!!! I believe it's a gift from God. You either have it, or you don't. (like musicians). You really have it and you have the skills to make the world a better place!!! Amazing!!! My hat comes off for you!! Keep up the good work and God Bless YOU!!!
I've nothing to do with this stuff, still I watched this full video. I think you're amazed when you see these mech things working together! Good work..
You're amazing, my son does this job in an industry, where he starts with CAD drawing and works on numerically control machines and does prototypes and experimentation in a team of 4 people.
Wow... I think that says it all. Great work bro, it's rare you see a video where all the comments are positive ones. That pretty much speaks for itself. Bravo.
Although I tried making a 4 cylinder electric motor with solenoids like this back in the 70s when I was in junior high school, I only got it to run a few seconds. I wish I'd had a metal lathe, a milling machine & the other tools you used to fabricate all the parts. All I had was metal brackets I could scrounge up along with parts from an 8-Track player & probably some erector set parts. It's been so many years ago, I can't remember what all I used. At the time I wondered & still do wonder how a motor like this would compare to a typical motor when it comes to efficiency & power output. This is an excellent video, Maker B.
@Mason Gilbert All true and accurate. Thank you. Ehh, I like this better. It's got major novelty appeal. If I want something that DOES something, I'll just buy it, pre-done..
@Mason Gilbert I too was curious as to the efficiency of this design, the discharge over time of a battery, etc... Though, I kinda totally figured this to be the case. Super-cool little widget, though! It would make for a very interesting RC model motor, or just a super-cool paperweight. :D
@Mason Gilbert I too appreciate you explaining why this is not efficient. As I have lots time on my hands I don't want to waste it inefficiently. Now I can think of something solenoids CAN DO more efficiently than other machines.thanks
I have watch many videos on youtube, but I must say, I watch this to the end, it was so good to see, this it made me wish I had the money to buy the tools to make somethings like, not to forget the ability. love your video
2:30 I would have used the lathe on a slow setting to wind the wire and have it in neat rows with the sire perfectly side-by-side. I think it would look better. Thank you for another mesmerizing video.
I DESPERATELY wish that I could take raw metal and turn it into beautifully machined perfection! I have to make everything by hand. Thank you very much for sharing this with the rest of us!
I wish this was availlable as a kit. I can't make it because of a lack of space and machinery to put in that space. Very nicely done, keep enjoying your hobby.
The skill of this man is incredible,i understand that he uses a great machine for to realize all,(alpha numeric control machine ?), but.....without a clear image in mind on what to do and a great manual skill nothing of that is possible.....congratulations man.
