Homemade Jet Drive Build Part 1

[@jetegtmeier71]

you and Colin Furze need to go triking together LOL that trike is Awesome !!!

[@MrChessmaster53]

Precision technology and tools? Nah mate, hammer

[@DktheWelder]

The hammer is the best took haha

[@The_JEB]

the engineering term for a hammer is a swing press

[@dennisbjones]

@Justin Bechtel and to cover the precision side of things, it's a calibrated swing press

[@QWireArt]

Спасибо!!! как же хорошо сидеть на ютубе и смотреть=)) надо начать как-нибудь делать )))

[@PartikleVT]

You made that intake look way simpler than anyone else I've seen make one. They had way more edges in theirs and it was welded out of multiple pieces. My understanding of fluid dynamics however leads me to believe that the rounder shape you went with is actually going to perform better. Nevertheless, it was great seeing you make one fairly simple because I need to make one for my custom setup at some point as well.

[@anarchistangler]

This is awesome, mate. Why pay what they want for these things when with a bit of elbow grease you can fabricate it yourself. New Zealand? Finally we meet the ones who aren't dole bludgers ha ha. Honestly, it is really nice work. Real ingenuity. I plan to have a go myself.

[@DktheWelder]

It was actually a lot of work but a fun project, and yes from New Zealand you too?

[@anarchistangler]

I am originally from Australia, mate. Far North Coast of NSW, maybe you know Byron Bay, Nimbin, Mullumbimby etc. But I have not lived there for 20 years. My home now is on the bank of the Nam Ngum reservoir in Laos, in one of the last bits of the old jungles of SE Asia. I love fishing for the prehistoric monsters that live in the reservoir. It is far from civilisation, the fish are huge and all snapping teeth, and I have never seen another lure fisherman there. Certainly not another white man. The lake is a hydro-electric dam made 70 years ago, and it is full of submerged forest. Also, the Lao people are desperate netters, and their present and abandoned nets festoon the waters. The trees and nets keep fouling and breaking the propellers of my outboards. I would like to make a jet boat using local materials to entertain myself, so I am really interested in your work. I want to make a really kick ass one with a Rotavator engine. I own a resort there, the Green View Resort Laos. Maybe you would like to visit some time and go fishing and help me build a boat. It is about 20km away from Vang Vieng, which you can check out on Google. I got nothing against Kiwis. I was just joking about the dole bludger thing. My best mate comes from Whangarei. Bongarei, he calls it ha ha.

[@christhamilton42]

Love your work but you really should keep that left forearm covered when you are welding. Welders are melanoma making machines. I use welding sleeves when it's too hot to wear the jacket.

[@DktheWelder]

Yes I should wear sleeves!

[@BruceLyeg]

This is awesome. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build

[@DktheWelder]

Thanks Bruce. Just been working on the impeller today

[@guyparris4871]

After the the first few minutes I thought it was foolish and sloppy… later Iwas impressed!

It is pretty sloppy but it worked well. I made another 3d printed one as well

Nice, you make classic innovative posts Daniel! I have designed a new and powerful type of jet, which is how I came to see this post. We should talk some time, I have messaged you, msngr.

[@DktheWelder]

Ok thanks

[@StraightLineCycles]

Lol tenths of grams, love it, i just never liked "standard", guess im not a standard kinda guy, cause metric is better in my experience.

[@DktheWelder]

We call “standard” imperial. Some American stuff and UK stuff we have to work on have unc and unf bolts so we get used to working with both but yeah metric is way easier especially for precision stuff

[@stevequate1797]

Where to get a set of original size parts drawing so I can glue to sheet metal and cut out at?

[@DktheWelder]

Sorry I didn’t do that I just kinda made it up as I went

[@subzero5101]

You guys are nuts I F-ing love it. I caught that tenths of gram remark btw. I'd been offended if it wasn't so pathetically true. You have no idea how frustrating it is as an engineer dealing with two systems of measurement constantly and knowing ours is the stupid one makes it that much worse. At least one of you can use a lathe without destroying any tooling or did you leave that part out?

[@DktheWelder]

Didn't break any tooling on this one! we have to work on imperial stuff sometimes but just convert it all to metric , I used an imperial lathe once was pretty difficult I am impressed that you guys and work with those strange units of measurement and make some really good quality stuff

[@ruelelopre8673]

This one is available to buy if I need or I want to order that one

[@HisHolinessMadarchode]

So how many Royals with cheese does it weigh

[@DktheWelder]

that's a gouda question!

[@TrevorDennis100]

Wow Daniel, I'm properly impressed. Such an ambitious project and you are making it all come together nicely. I appreciate the technical machining terms like 'It's making that too fast sound'. 🤣 I'll be using that at the first opportunity even if I have to speed up the lathe deliberately to make it chatter. So is this drive going on your aluminium boat? The one we saw in your last video? And is all this just so you can past those wee rapids that you had to turn back from? BTW We saw you tapping the aluminium sheet - I'm guessing that you'll have used Hank Bushes? I've still got the ball ended punch I used for Hank Bushes from 50 years ago. Wow, I am so looking forward to seeing this fire up. Will balance be an issue do you think? What will that engine rev to? 8000rpm? Yes this is going to be interesting.

[@DktheWelder]

It will be in a little section that I can clip to that other boat . There are a lot of rivers around were I live and try get up also in the harbour. It Think that motor runs best at 6000 to 7000rpm and I have just guessed how big to make the jet unit hopefully it works!

[@sentidocomun3460]

[@robertlangley258]

Daniel, I finally cooled down and retracted my verbal abuse of you and give you a thumbs up as your a bigger and nicer man than I, please accept my apology concerning the joke. I’m old and cranky. Also changed my vote to thumbs up, which you soundly deserve.

[@subzero5101]

I'm an engineer and have dealt with quite a few jets in the past. I also concur. It looks like you've made something that may work but is seriously risking cavitation at higher rpms.

[@subzero5101]

You should be polishing all those interior aluminum surfaces so the surface tension doesn't burn it up. A simpler design would probably work much better and be easier to buff after welding.

[@NvTwist]

The fluorescent light may cause viewers sensitive to flashing lights to go into a seizure. Im don’t suffer from it but having 65” LCD flashing at ya at 2am was a struggle to watch… but the content was worth the discomfort. God stuff

[@DktheWelder]

O sorry about that ! There is a fluorescent light above my bench great for work but not for filming I guess

[@MittyNuke1]

@@DktheWelder not trying to tell you what to do, but you can get drop in LED tube replacements for fluorescent fixtures that require no change to the ballast. Or you can get a modern electronic ballast which operates at a much higher frequency which will remove the flickering. Traditional magnetic ballasts operate at line frequency, 50 or 60hz. Probably 50hz based on your accent. 😅 Your camera probably records at 25 to 50fps. To avoid flickering, your camera would need to either record at 2x the electrical line frequency in which case the flickering of the light would be accurately recorded in the video and would appear the same as it does in person. Or, you could increase the frequency of the light itself, which would make the flickering invisible to the camera, which is the better option. Modern ballasts operate in the 10s of thousands of hz, same with LEDs, which is more than sufficient for a normal camera. For stuff like slow motion, they make special LEDs that run on true DC and don’t flicker at all, but that’s overkill for this application. Either way, this is an awesome project you’re building and I’ll gladly watch the flickering lights if it means watching the creation of such a cool project. Good work 👍
