I know some french youtubers where everyone in the crew gets to participate. "Maison Grise" (means "grey house" because their offices and studios are located in a small house with grey bricks) is a group of youtubers doing entertainment (games, contests, challenges, and so) where it started with the financial director being asked once to play the role of referee in a game. People loved it, he did it again, then everyone from video editor to cameraman, accountant, etc. became guests in several videos.

Have gone back to earlier HR videos as run out of recent ones, and love how you now show process and failures, not just the end result.

[@Azelethros_OG]

The concept of katanas spinning that bloody fast is incredible. Pure genius. Such a thrill, and I gotta say, the sound it makes is so alien, and I love the sound.

[@Roninfop]

this definitely seems like the most dangerous of your guys contraptions. Stay safe out there. Loving every minute

[@stufforsomething]

This sword machine is the absolute most awesome contraption you've ever contrapted, hands down, no debate. The way it whistles in the air as you spin it up is terrifying. The way it slices anything imaginable is satisfying. If there is one improvement that could be made, it's to find a stronger way to bind the blades to the contraption. Maybe bigger blades/swords with bigger holes for bigger bolts, maybe something custom made. Maybe something with a crossguard built into the blade, and build something to slot the whole handle and crossguard into (make it fit like a jigsaw puzzle piece) so you don't have to rely on flimsy little bolts as the weakest link.

[@jskinny1333]

I haven't caught up with these guys in a few months, and I love to see that they're still just as hyper and funny as the last time I watched a vid.

7:07 isn’t that technically a variable-_frequency_ drive? You control the speed of an electric motor by changing the frequency of the electricity it receives. You can tell the motor on this machine is controlled with a VFD because of the whine it makes at low speeds while spinning up (ex. 9:18)

[@patrick-lynch]

I agree that they are typically called variable frequency drives, at least in the USA. Dr. Google says A VFD is specifically for AC power/motors and modulates the frequency where a VSD can also control the voltage before sending the power to an AC inverter, and therefore can drive DC motors as well (without using the inverter). I was going to argue that what he pointed at was the VFD/VSD Controller, but he said "Drivah", which is close enough.
