1425 Inside An Air Conditioner (Rotary) Compressor And How It Works

[@serta5727]

Thanks for disassembling it 😃 Now I understand how compressors work

[@totherarf]

One type of rotary compressor! ;o)

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

glad you liked it mate

[@richgoughnour3976]

I think some of my favorite videos you do are when you break something down for parts. Thank you again.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

Awesome, thank you!

[@stevetobias4890]

Some beautiful engineering there, what I really like is that huge coil arrangement. Imagine the generator / engine that could be built with that. A shaft and decent magnets attached to a wind or water mill can really put out some power if done right.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

my thoughts exactly mate!

[@Black-so4fs]

good video, how you extract the shaft of the rotor?

[@kristopheranderson53]

The cover plate makes a great Euler disk. Spin it on a piece of glass. Add magnets for more weight and it will wobble longer.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

would they? I will give it a go nice tip mate

[@PhillipHall01]

Excellent video! Robert do you have a video describing in detail, the working a 'refrigerant air dryer' as used in drying compressed shop air as used in auto paint etc.? I sure would like to watch it if you have such a video.. Thanks, Phillip Hall

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I don't mate - I will have a think about making one - thanks for the suggestion - cheers

Mazda did a rotary engine. It was some what unreliable and hugely expensive to repair. Really interesting stuff and I can picture you build this and it sounding awesome. Fuel and ignition timing from an ardweno "spell check" epic build and very hard I would think

[@totherarf]

Yes they got an amazing amount of power in a small space! They were based on splines sliding in and out of a shaft which was off centered. The problem was that the wear occurred on both sides of the spline the far end and the faces that slid in and out of the shaft ...... A Lot of wear area! If you didn't get the service interval (3K miles as I remember) the wear on the shaft would mean an expensive replacement! But that engine sounded and performed on another level!

did they - I didn't know that - cheers mate that is interesting

[@denisstump5874]

I really like this video I have some compressors and now I know how they work thank you

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

awesome mate - I am glad you liked it

[@rayg436]

great vid and explanation of how this one works 👍👍

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

Glad you liked it!

[@putteslaintxtbks5166]

It reminds me of some hydralic pumps, but hydralic fluid can't be compressed or expanded.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

yeah I see what you mean

[@denisstump5874]

I know this is a little off subject but have you heard about Canada and the truckers someone mentioned that you're not getting news about that over there across the pond it is all over the internet

[@DMcC-lw1tc]

Its not really on the uk mainstream media (if at all) , about canada & aussie truck protests, uk nurses have refused the covid jag too, got sacked & now getting their jobs back, so should the carers, if a lot of nurses dont want the jag, you know theres something up 👌

[@karlmyers6518]

I tend not to watch the new here in the UK as its normally tripe or doom and gloom. All stuff that I can't control or change 😂

[@denisstump5874]

@@karlmyers6518 I do not watch the mainstream news in the USA either it's all lied to control the narrative

[@karlmyers6518]

@@denisstump5874 yes I don't doubt that for a second. I'm by no means a conspiracy theorist and do believe the Jabs have helped the covid curve but do believe it's a human right to be able to choose .

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

no mate not heard anything about it

[@shockinsid]

Could this be used for filling butane/propane cylinders with homemade biogas?

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I would suppose so - might have to watch out for sparks!

[@dougpine4746]

Biogas wont normally ignite unless you combine it with addition air. The Fema down draft gassifier PDF file mentions the ratios for the different ice engine sizes to determine the correct scale (size) gassifier. Chilling the vapor will enable a greater gas volume to be compressed.

[@robtitheridge9708]

not what i expected to see so very interesting

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

awesome - glad you liked it mate

[@mahmoodmoossavi243]

Thank you very much sir.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

Most welcome

[@ToninFightsEntropy]

Cool mechanism! Nice animation, too! Did you guys make that?? It worked very well

[@ambersmith6517]

Rob a 3 phase compressor like the one in your video would make a really good wind turbine if a perment magnet rotor was made for it good sealed thrust bearing on the front You could make a bullet shaped long lasting sealed wind turbine out one of these compressers and a few other parts i have been wanting to make one but have not had the time yet i have turned 3 phase motors into generators using perm magnets and when done right the results are very impressive!!

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

cheers mate

[@andrewfriedman2485]

Really great channel. Do you know of any other KZbinrs that you would recommend that are doing similar work? E.i, DIY energy generation.

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I think there are quite a few mate

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

I wonder if you could make an engine out of one of these, and how efficient it would be.

[@azlandpilotcar4450]

What was on the inside of the smaller canister?

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

oh I don't know I didn't chop it open yet - I think it is just baffle plate set up - but I will look lol

[@MrAnderson4509]

yes! rotary engine build.... hho fuel?!! so fun and twitchy lol maybe just propane ? browns gas? maybe the hydropulse engine with the low melt alloy? ok I'll stop now, got to go clean kitchen then shop lol why is it that your tweets with youtube links are later than youtube's updates direct from yourube? I mean you think that if you went to the KZbin channel it would show the updated KZbin video but it doesn't I have to get your link from your tweet and search for it Love my voice to text auto correct changing KZbin to you rube

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I was thinking steam engine mate - I am a bit worried about the cylinder holding up to an ICE environment - plus - I do like external combustion

[@knickebien1966]

would the seals in that compressor hold up to combustion pressures, heat and soot?

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

I have seen them used for engines but it probably only going to be good for the short term

[@danieldougan8550]

Whatever happened to your battery project

[@mac-qt3wd]

Hi rob, could a refrigerator run without electricity? I looked at some very early fridges and I wasn't seeing a power cord anywhere. I know they can run on gas as I got one in caravan which does but could it be one big heat sink arrangement? Maybe have cold water involved, cheers mac

[@ThinkingandTinkering]

for sure mate - look up Einstein's fridge - and I am not kidding he invented a fridge!

[@mac-qt3wd]

@@ThinkingandTinkering I'm a little suspicious of anything of Einsteins, but sure I'll look it up cheers. I have made one which uses clay plant pots, sand and water, wasn't that effective in this country.

[@markotrieste]

By second law of thermodynamics, to pull heat from a colder source to a warm sink it takes energy. This energy can be mechanical (as from the motor that drives a compressor) or thermal. In this second case, we are talking about absorption refrigerators, where the "heavy lifting" of pushing the vapors from low to high pressure side is done by heat, which boils a solution of refrigerant and a liquid solvent. Typical combinations are water and lithium bromide or ammonia and water. Standard designs require a circulating pump for the rich solution, however the Einstein-Szilard and the Platen-Munters designs can do away with that by using a clever trick with a third gas in the circuit.

[@mac-qt3wd]

@@markotrieste nice one thanks, when i read the first line of "laws of thermodynamics" i was expecting a no or some explanation of how you cant create energy apparently.
