That pressure test was a darwin award in the making... There's a reason you pressure test with liquids.

[@WhyNot6243]

I actually feel like their test with CO2 was safer than a fluid test. Pressure tests are generally done with fluids because they don’t compress like a gas, so the variability based on temperature and density is gone. Fluids don’t like to compress so the accuracy is much better for doing a test at “X” pressure for “Y” minutes. Where a gas could change quite a bit as far as density and pressure over the same time frame. But had the CO2 failed it’s a gas so it doesn’t have the same energy to force debris outward as a liquid does, you also don’t have the risk of an injection injury from a pinhole leak and it’s inert so it can’t combust.

[@sparcnut]

​@@WhyNot6243 With liquids such as water, the pressure within the test fluid effectively drops back to 0 as soon as it is allowed to expand even just a little bit. Gases have to expand to MUCH larger than their compressed volume to achieve the same pressure drop. At high pressures they do so *very* rapidly as soon as they are given the opportunity to do so, aka an explosion. Believe me, the CO2 they used in this video would have packed a massive "BANG". The potential energy stored by a compressed gas is several orders of magnitude higher than that of a liquid compressed to the same pressure within the same volume. Much more work is required to compress the gas vs. the liquid, and that work input translates directly into potential energy stored by the compressed fluid. Their horribly inadequate shields and complete lack of other PPE indicates that they had no idea how bad it would be if that pressure vessel were to actually fail during the test. EVERYONE in the room would have been injured to some degree, and there was a very real possibility of a fatality resulting. Testing the same pressure vessel to failure with water instead (after bleeding any trapped air) would have just resulted in it cracking/splitting somewhere - likely at the clamped joint - and then harmlessly peeing away all the water pressure within a fraction of a second. The most significant potential for serious injury would then be hydraulic injection if some idiot were dumb enough to hold his hand right over the point of failure as it failed. Yes, I am an engineer. Yes, I have safely conducted real tests on real pressure vessels (steam locomotive boilers). Those tests were ALWAYS performed with plain water at ambient temperature after displacing as much air as possible. Testing with a compressed gas amounts to testing a live bomb instead, which is exactly what any sane boiler test is trying to prevent...

[@kingcatlxix4573]

@@WhyNot6243 you dropped the bag on that one chief, at least you tried to sound like you knew what you were talking about

[@WhyNot6243]

@@sparcnut well I’ll have to take your word over mine as you are an engineer and I’m not opposed to admitting I’m wrong. I was only commenting off of personal experiences. As a machinist I’ve worked in shops that have made high pressure flanges and parts and done high pressure testing. I’ve seen high pressure tests fails and the hoses/parts fly across the test bay and water sprays all over the walls. Or been in test bays that have “battle” wounds all over the ceiling and walls. At the same time I have 20+ years experience racing blown alcohol cars and as a safety on them we run what’s called a burst panel in the intake manifold. In the event the supercharger makes too much boost or a rocker arm fails and you have a back fire into the manifold the burst panel will let go, instead of that pressure lifting the supercharger and intake. However anytime that large amount of air pressure is released, it does very little damage to the surroundings. It can sometimes crack the fiber glass bodies, which are already strained from travelling at 200+ mph. But I feel like cracking fiber glass takes a lot less force than launching a steel flange 15-20 feet in the air and embedding itself in the ceiling of a building. But like I said I could be wrong as I don’t have any official mathematical training to back up my claims.

[@Just_Joshing024]

​@WhyNot6243 an air rupture is effectively a bomb. However, a rupture in something like a hydraulic hose is like a laser, where it's spraying, you will take serious damage.

Yep, definitely cringeworthy IF he had gone up to failure! Coming from a Mechanical Engineer that has done LOTS of pressure testing you do NOT use pressurized gas/air/Nitrogen etc! You use a high-pressure hand pump with water or oil in the "test article". Water makes less of a mess when (not IF it lets go) and doesn't throw shrapnel everywhere! Those pumps will go up to 10,000 psi (some even higher)!

A word of advice for everyone trying to test a pressure vessel from someone who has been involved in testing of fuel tanks for rockets: Please use an incompressible fluid (e.g. water or oil), ideally with the pressure vessel submerged in a larger bucket of water or oil. Even then, strongly suggested to cover behind a solid object like a concrete wall. NEVER use compressible fluids (e.g. gas or air) for such a (initial) test, especually without proper safety distance and/or shielding. Even if the band clamp holds, a defect (e.g. in the weld or material) can be disasterous! In this sense - stay safe everyone! And please consult with your nearest engineer before conducting such tests :)

I hate to say this but when cleetus said they have flex in them so you don't have to be exact with your pipe or welds he's half right and half wrong. Those can and will break and potentially the engine will suck down the debri. If your mounting those from the turbo which has no give and the other end is mounted to the intercooler that has no give when you start mak8ng boost it will actually put alot of uneven amount of force on the not so exact one. The test they just d8d proves that. When they applied pressure the pipe went from limp dick to rock hard cock.

[@zrxdoug]

@@alecmcjarison999 Huh? You're DONE!

air will escape where water won't

[@eheggestad]

Water will escape at the same places as air at those pressures. The point isn’t leak detection, it’s the fact that air has potential energy at high pressures where most liquids do not. A water tank that ruptures at high pressure just sends out a jet of liquid, an air tank that ruptures will be more like a bomb.

Not Cleetus making a pipe bomb with 6 people in the room......I love it!

[@AudibleVisibIe]

Lmao George scaring those people in the parking lot 😂😂😂

[@curtthemk2kid235]

That brake disc test/result was seriously impressive!

[@pqodrones]

That rotor stayed without warping on the surface but it was cracked on the top

[@gogoman267]

Cj was so nervous but chill, nice truck too

[@anthonyodonnell9117]

Bloody hell! Great Video!

[@TheVinniestunts]

watching George try and run is epic LOL

[@lowstandards4307]

Cleeter just walked into Motion Raceworks and starting pulling items off the shelf to test

[@DaInfamous0ne]

He part owner. I would too lol

Here's another thing that would be better tuned but you can still do with your foot. Scaling throttle to RPM per gear. The best example I can think of involves any vehicle with an automatic transmission that works like it should. By increasing throttle (or other factors like maintaining grip and not breaking the powertrain instead of throttle while deciding whether or not to balance it with launch control/trans brake) at the same speed the RPM changes (linear correlation, straight 45 degree angle on a chart from 0 to 100) you can find that balance of not wasting power/torque through the powertrain, and transferring as much torque/power as possible through the drivetrain as possible (less load more acceleration, and this tactic may be used to save fuel while still accelerating reasonably quickly). In any example automatic transmission, if you're accelerating in 1st you'll shift to second if your throttle isn't high enough by time it reaches a certain RPM based on your throttle threshold; or, if you're in 2nd and your RPMs are too low (even if you're in the power/torque peak) and your throttle is too high you'll shift back to 1st which is bad for a whole lot of unrelated reasons. In that example we'll say the car makes peak torque at 3500 RPM and peak power at 6500 RPM; and if you're in any gear and accelerating the car won't shift down a gear if you're above 4500 RPM with 100% throttle. So we'll say you're in second gear at 3500 RPM and you want to be at 100% throttle but you don't want to shift down to 1st gear because you'd actually lose acceleration (similar to losing grip from over throttle in a racecar) you'd be limited to 67% throttle during that very short and specific moment when you're at 3500 RPM, at 4000 you can get to about 80% throttle, then at 4500 you can put the pedal to the metal at 100%; but that's just the putting as much through part. The balance comes in before you get into 2nd gear. To not waste power and heat and fuel on losing grip and breaking the power train (wasting fuel in an economy car) while accelerating through 1st gear you did the same thing except from idle all the way to 4500. In the economy car that would be the moment to pull off the throttle quickly enough and precisely enough that the automatic transmission only just barely shifts up from 1st (4500 RPM 100% throttle) to 2nd (2500 RPM 20% throttle). Then, before it can decide to shift to 3rd (because you had to pull back so much to get it to shift from1st to 2nd) increase the throttle back up to (for example 35% throttle) the corresponding maximum threshold for your specific vehicle that won't force you back into 1st based on whatever RPM you're at until you get to (for example 4500 RPM) your 100% throttle RPM again then either ride it out for the rest of the gears, or repeat that complicated cycle or start cruising lol. It can be difficult in 1st gear because the RPMs can sneak up on you so you have to be quick to respond with the throttle which is why it may be better in a tune than a foot, especially if you don't have good posture because it effects your ability to work against the force making your leg swing back away from the pedal. With that technique you can make anything with an engine feel fast (without burning the tires or breaking anything) - that's the way I look at it...does it have an engine in it? Well I'll make it fast then, especially if the transmission works good, and it has good tires. It is a militarily rooted invention/technology using explosions, after all...so it can take it lol... I'm just using it anyway. In summary, you just gotta know how much throttle you can put into how much gear you've got left based on how much acceleration you want. AFAIK peak thermal efficiency is achieved at (through) peak torque, but in practice peak overall efficiency is achieved by barely getting to peak torque and shifting before you even start to go through it a little bit, just tap it. That balances volume with efficiency; and/or, how often you're burning fuel (combustions per minute, function of RPM) with how much fuel is being burned (whether it's being burned efficiently or not). The butt dyno of any random automatic transmission and it's peak throttle/shift cycle may really be able to help with the Blazer's thing it has going on. Also, the most optimistic way I can see to look at it is if you could get it to where each combustion event in the engine was larger than the one before it, (more throttle, more fuel/air, more boost, more timing, etc.) as in each cylinder as if they had their own throttle body that opened wider than the cylinder that fired before it (1 combustion at 33%, 2nd combustion at 34%, 3rd combustion at 35%, and so on until you reach that threshold RPM (4500 RPM in the example) (on combustion event 1,000,000 or so lol) where it will let you give it 100%, then you give it 100%. That way you can maintain the amount of power being transferred through the drivetrain around 99% 100% of the time without forcing the load above a threshold you're not comfortable with or that you're confident will cause you to lose grip or wheelie or break something.
