@humanbeing_
@humanbeing_ 3 года назад
The craziest (or maybe most coincidental ) thing about this video, is I literally just bought THAT _exact_ same sprinkler for our yard this year. I chose it because its' the only one I found that was made of metal parts, vs so many sold nowadays made from plastic. I felt it would stand the test of time vs the plastic ones. However, our direct neighbors do have a couple of the plastic ones, and here's what I immediately noticed: The plastic ones spine SO MUCH faster than ours, (the metal one). And I wondered why that was... Well, know I know. Metal weighs substantially more than plastic, which means the water will have less force on the metal one, meaning slower clickity-clickity-clickity and slower bap-bap-bap-bap-bap-bap to the return position. I know I know --> "cool story bro", but I just thought, what are the chances that I just bought the exact same sprinkler, considering I've never seen this brand/model prior-to my purchase. 😁

Energy ain't free and when you have thousands or 10s of thousands of these things all running at the same time the whole water system is losing pressure. Collectively across an entire county or even state, these things must consume an enormous amount of energy, not to mention water.

In my city, or township, actually, if you have in ground sprinklers, you are only supposed to use them between 11PM and 6AM on even/odd days of the week matching your (even/odd) address number. I suppose because they figure the stake kind are using less water per time, they are allowed whenever you like.

When I was a kid I went through a phase where I was fascinated with these things and even had a personal collection of the in-ground ones. Yes, I even went to the hardware store and would spend all of my allowance money on sprinklers to add to my collection. I even had some “antique” ones from the 60s or 70s and broken ones that were donated by neighbors when they replaced theirs. But I never fully understood how they worked because they were unwieldy when connected to a hose and when off were fully sealed up in their underground casings (I didn’t have any of the hose-connected ones like in the video). So thanks for making this video, it gives me some closure 14 years later!

I know it's like WAY late but I thought it was an artifact with the active stabilisation, since it's not stationary and instead wiggles in time with the spoon, or "armature" of the sprinkler it seems to me like the active stabiliser is picking up on the spoon and not the ground and is trying to acomadate it's motion

It moves very slowly, but still amazing to watch
