@@ReallyBakedGamer I don't think a caveman could predict the necessity for custom excavator grips, let alone that there would be one week left to mail them.
@@ReallyBakedGamer I heavily related to your name. I was about to critique Will's torque wrench calculations there, but then quickest research proved myself wrong and decided not to be an asshole. Good story, right. LOVE YOUR STUFF WILL!!! Wish I could CAD or whatever to make you a fun knob! Much love
@@peepopalaber Yeah Mark Rober has gone so over the top lately - I think he's aiming for a younger audience though - like teenagers so that's why he's videos are more 'infantile'. Meanwhile William's content is not serious by any means but it's clearly intended for an adult audience, and especially this second channel (which let's be honest is just the main channel now) is just a couple of adults taking the piss and I'm all here for it.
Really does capturing the essence of true RU-vid. Nothing over produced or only caring about sponsors or pandering to their audience. Really makes it more interesting to watch
Hello 👋🏻, Firefighter here. We have this setup on most of our Wildland Fire engines in CA. We do have to prime it every time but there’s a prime button that takes it from the tank and does it itself. Also, we probably have every wrench known to mankind. Good luck with the reel line William!
What made this video even better is I work at a Toyota dealership and Toyota recently released a torque application module for training which explains why this works lol
Idk, I'm taking my second physics course right now and trying to think about why it works is not imreally intuitive to those who don't know what torque represents. If it were going in a complete linear motion, it would not increase the force. I think it's fairly easy to get confused by that
@@kstorm889I spent a few minutes scrolling through the comments from the last video, and I only found two saying he was wrong. One of those comments (which had mentioned free body diagrams) was retracted thanks to the other, which was a comment that I made, and my point in that comment was that his explanation of how torque is multiplied in the previous video was wrong. He got it right in this video, but in the last video, he said 200ft•lbs multiplied by the 5ft extension equals 1000ft•lbs which isn't correct. The torque is actually multiplied by the ratio of the overall length to the length of the wrench. (If the wrench is at an angle to the extension, the overall length is measured parallel to the wrench from the wrench handle to the perpendicular line that passes through the bolt.) Using the numbers from this video that would be 214×(76.5/16.5) = 992 which is basically what he measured. It would appear to me that he got lucky that the length of the wrench and the extension plus the fact that actual torque is 7% over the set torque worked out to make the torque multiplication of this setup approximately 5. (The exact factor is 76.5/16.5×1.07 which equals 4.96)
@@jsax01001010 I get what you're saying and agree 100%. maybe I misunderstood thinking his extension made for 5' or whatever it was. I just knew when I saw the rig that there would be a lot of debate in the comments.
I love that will goes and does like actual math to make sure he's torquing right and that's the part that people start to take exception with. Not the decade of way more complex stuff he's been doing before this but basic AF math with levers. It's kinda beautiful.
kevin and william trying to fix big strange broken machines on a farm is the best series on youtube, i cannot wait to see the whole fleet of vehicles do a job on the farm together
I only just discovered William, but I've been watching all of his stuff that gets suggested. What an awesome dude. I'm super happy I came across him, because his videos always make me laugh. And I need that stuff right now.
i love that we finnaly get to see the sellers selling crazy shit to Will always questioning what he is going to do with it xD and also i got to say i am not a engineer but i love learning engineering for some reason
Honestly when he was making videos I wasn't sure if he was a genius or a pure idiot, but not that long ago he said in one of his vlogs that after his house got burned down, he never touched this big amount of money that his fans donated to him so that he could get a new house. These people gave him their hard earned money to make sure he can continue to make videos but not only he didn't buy a house and chose to live in a camper van, but he also decided to stop making videos... I think it's pretty hilarious the way that he screwed these people that gave him all this money so he really got all my respect now! lol
If they ever make a US roadtrip-type show like Top Gear/Grand Tour, I hope they cast you and the boys to be the hosts. I'd love to watch ya'll travel through a country in weird vehicles you modify along the way and complete challenges.
I feel your pain willam, every time i try to do something despite the research and effort something manages to fail on me, then a half day thing stretches to a week
I find your videos hilarious and motivating lol. Hilarious because of your sense of humor and chaotic lifestyle, motivating because in your videos/life you routinely face problems that would make many people stop their pursuit of said goal, yet you find the humor in the situation and critically think your way through complex problems. Thanks for keeping us entertained!
Oddly enough, designing a grip for you helped reset my brain. I burned myself out a few weeks ago building a shed and trying to get a product ready before black friday. Had to slam the brakes on hard tor a bit there. And then I saw a chance to make something easy, and I went full gas.
hey William! Im a Mechanic Engineering student and wanted to say your demonstration, though a lil rough 😁, was great! I think for people who dont know the equation for Torque is LITERALLY the cross product between Distance and Force it may have been a bit difficult to visualize what exactly you were getting at. People not in stem don't even know what Torque really is (my gf thought it was basically a force, for instance). For anyone still confused, Id like to explain it with the basic principle of the lever and the equation for torque. If I need 1000 Nm of Torque (same units as lbft but in metric) but I can only verify 200 Nm of Torque, what distance do I need to achieve the desired reading? We can start by setting up two equations: T1 = R1 x F1 (where T1 is torque needed, R1 is distance from the center of rotation to the normal force, and F1 is the Force applied [by William lol!]) as well as T2 = R2 x F2 (where T2 is verified torque. R2 is the distance from force to center, in this case the length of the Torque wrench, and F2 is normal force again) However, it is evident that in both scenarios, the same William will be the one applying the force. So, if we trust William to be a good boy, we can assume that he will apply the same amount of force in both scenarios! This gives us F1=F2=F. Knowing this, we can now combine both equations by solving for F individually like this: T1 = R1 x F1, T2 = R2 x F2 => F1 = T1/R1, F2 = T2/R2, F1=F2=F => T1/R1 = T2/R2 Now all we have to do is solve for the length needed, R1! R2, the length of the torque wrench, was given to us by William, which is about 0.4 m. Now all we have to do is plug in to our equation and solve for R1! T1/R1 = T2/R2 => R1 = R2(T1/T2) => R1 = (0.4m)(1000Nm/200Nm) => R1 = 2 m! This means the distance needed to get 1000 Nm of torque while only verifying 200 Nm at 0.4m (and assuming the same force is applied) is 2m! So what do we get when we convert from meters to inches? R1 = ~78 in 🤠🤠🤠 subtracting the 16 in of length from the torque wrench from it, we get 62 in, which is ~ 5ft, exactly how long Williams extension is! 😌 Overall my calculations were about 2 in off from Williams actual distance, not too bad since this was all made up and converted in and out of metric, but the principal is intact. Hope this more mathematical based approach helps anyone still confused! Remember, Torque is leverage 👺
I'm going to press the gas, I needed the inspiration, so now it's happening! Glad to see a little more action on your channels (though your absence was obviously for very important reasons!)
So I am an engineer and I design fire trucks for a living. That's what we consider a skid unit most likely was originally on a small a UTV or something. We don't do too many trucks with skid units but Ironically I am actually currently designing a custom one for a Polaris ranger at work right now. Anyways. There should be a hand primer somewhere in the unit which will prime the system within a few pumps. If there isn't there's a chance it was mounted to the UTV and was not kept with the unit when you bought it. I am not super familiar with that exact type of pump however in general it's bad for a pump to run dry and it can cause it to overheat and damage components so there's a decent chance that if it wasn't already damaged before you bought it attempting to run it dry is what ended up damaging the pump. I would look closely to try to see if there's a hand primer installed on it. If there isn't you need to buy and install one and make sure it's primed prior to use. Also make sure you have your valves set correctly so you have water flowing through the pump. There is often a tank to pump valve as well as a tank fill valve both of which being open will allow water to just cycle through the pump while you aren't using the hose. Remember water is a noncompressible fluid so it needs to be able to go somewhere otherwise things can break. I would suggest having that friend you talked to or someone at the manufacturer of the system run you through how to operate it if you aren't sure. Also not sure where you live but especially if there's any chance of freezing you need to make sure you drain the pump system after each use. We see a few trucks come in periodically for new pumps because they forget to drain the system in the winter.
I work in a small engine shop and that pump that's on the water hose machine thing, is exactly like the ones that are on some of the bigger pressure washers that I work on. And fun fact about those pumps, if you don't run them with water going through, they will destroy themselves in less than 5 seconds. i learned that the hard way
Would have been better off with a Harbor freight high capacity water pump with a $20 plastic 55 gallon drum. Just remember water is heavy and that truck isn't.
I don't know why people would doubt it. It's a known thing,it's just math. I was once looking into using an extension on my torque wrench to do some work on my transmission. The adjustment was right between the trans case,and the frame,so I couldn't get a torque wrench+socket in there,but I could fit a slim torque wrench extension in there (imagine something like an open-end box wrench).. I looked into them,and yes,they sell them...and there are clear instructions for doing the math to work out the correct torque,with a table,and everything. Archimedes has known this since the dawn of time.
The "ka-tchiiiing" sound with the "$ PRICE" tag appearing on the screen really looks like the editor forgot to change "PRICE" with the actual price in the preset, and it's increadibly funny
My boss constantly buys old machine equipment like this that he always claims "should work fine!" and has me fix it up. I can relate to these videos SO HARD!
Usually when people have kids their content becomes more dull because they think "oh, my kid is going to see this shit one day and i dont want to be a bad influence" William on the other hand just got more unhinged.
i like when william goes frustrated teacher mode and oscillates between "does that make sense? its because x y z" and "okay whatever fuck you guys heres a little firetruck"
Wildland firefighter engine operator s211/sa214 here, if you need a priming setup i can send you a pic of what we have…. Manual primer is always a good backup to have
Anyone else super fascinated with this literal Nirvana property that William lives on? Him, the backyard scientists and others on their own properties doing literally whatever project they want. Dream state William, DREAM STATE
