Thank you, Sir Anthony Hopkins! I was looking for an instructional video on how to make the bellows that I have noted a while back, but you actually showed me much cleverer way of doing it!

Nice! I will try it. Also couldn't help but notice the nice hacksaws in the background. I recently got a nice one after a lifetime of cheap hacksaws. Once of my true regrets in life is waiting so long to get my first good hacksaw. What a difference.

I'm just looking to make the most basic bellows for my CNC to guard the rails against chips... and who shows up with the solution? Robert of course! It's probably the 10th time now I search for a solution on youtube and you pop up with some gold. Thanks again buddy.

Nicely explained. I'm looking to replace the bellows on an old folding camera so at least have something to go by. One thing though, at 05:11 you have to squeeze a bit of tape down the inside of the bellows to complete the seal. Why not have that piece of tape fixed, upside down, onto your board at 04:10, place one side on it and press it down, then the other and then add the outside piece?

Once you save the bellows drawing on the computer, you can use one of several programs to scale it to size (for the cross section of the bellows), and add length by putting more pages together. The sky is the limit once you have the base file established.

Simple and easy and photo useful. Thanks Rob! Oh, I just thought of something obvious. For the art of it, we could make different shaped bellows to. For instance, use a 30° angle instead of 45°, plus two more columns of slats and Tada! Hexagonal bellows. A Septoganal bellows might make a great prop for a fantasy costume concertina. (The music is beautiful, but sadly, beyond what humans can hear 😄)

I don't think an odd number of sides is possible, because the folds have to alternately go inwards and outwards.
@colleenforrest7936
@colleenforrest7936 4 года назад
@@gcewing but that's by row, isn't it? I didn't think the colums alternated as well. Not in a position to try it at the moment. Thinking this through live. Okay, let's say you fold a fan. A straight row of paper, back and forth, then you opened the paper up again and folded it into 5ths, taped it up, and revolted the fan folds in the same directions. The internal corner folds would interfere. Could they overlap she the bellows collapses? Would they naturally find a way or constantly bump into each other. Also would have a doubling of material at the internal corners which would add up as you added layers. I can see where an odd number could be problematic. Thanks for the clarification :)
@gcewing
@gcewing 4 года назад
@@colleenforrest7936 Think about it laid out flat. As you go from one edge to the other, the trapeziums alternately have the long side at the top and the short side at the top. If there is an odd number, when you go to wrap it into a cylinder, the edges will clash.

There are hobby CNC papercutting appliances out there that might do a good job on your bellows. Thank you for your very fine video. But I think the flexible vent tubing would be far easier to adapt and would make a very good bellows as well. It is available from 3" diameter up to over one foot (that would move a huge volume of air). "Tech Ingredients" recently published a YT video on a desiccant-based A/C system that really intrigued me. Its efficiency evidently far exceeded even the best Freon systems.

I've been wanting to build a manual air pump for my car tires. It's such a pain to get the compressor out, plus i think it's cooler to not use electricity, something i can use anywhere. I have a bike pump but that takes forever, i thought about making a bigger one, but then i thought about bellows, making some kind of accordion foot pump thing. Do you think bellows could get a tire up to 40 psi, i think that's around 3 atm?

You have given me an interesting idea. An emergency flow battery! So I want to give it back to you because that's who you are! You are the impossible battery guy. Ok so a while ago, a Japanese inventor came up with a zinc or magnesium based foldable box battery that you would just add some water to and it would run. But what if you just wanted to use only a little bit of metal to reduce the footprint? And you still want that big amp output to start a car or something like that where it's a burst of energy that you need rather than a big continuous amount. For example for you want to charge a life saving device quickly. Or you are in the water after a plane crash and you want a big burst of light from a high power photo flash or a big LED... Okay, so you get two belly.... plural for bellows... And you join them to a high surface area cheap fuel cell in between. Next you add dry chemical crystals...a battery salt or ion source. You pack it like that as a product until you actually need it. Finally, the time comes! You need to charge your phone! And quick! Your boat is sinking and three hungry sharks are waiting for you! So you add some sea water, close the plug and you start swishing the bellows back and forth passing a large amount of reactants between the plates on each pass. So with a little bit of water and only a little bit of human work, you can extract a huge amount of current for as long as you got reactants and strength. It's basically a tiny high energy fuel cell which you can keep dry until you need it. Also you have lots of carbon materials to make this device printable and Amazon sellable to make lots of money to continue experimenting.

Sounds like gaffe or gaffer tape, but duct tape would probably work as well or even better depending on the application. It is also cheaper and comes in many colours and patterns.
