[@DreadPirateRoberts8P]

An important factor in how a 2 stroke engine runs is the pressure in the exhaust system. Injecting cool oil into the exhaust changes the exhaust's internal temp and pressure. The noticeable effect is the immediate change in RPMs (and of course, the awesome thick smoke). At higher RPMs, the pressure in the exhaust increases to the point where some of the exhaust gasses are pushed back into the engine, combined with the new fuel/air mixture coming in from the carb, and re-burned in the combustion chamber. So, not all of the baby oil is being flashed into white smoke by the high exhaust temp. Some is burning inside the engine. It's doubtful that this would be very harmful to the engine. 20 ounces in one minute is a lot of oil, but only a percentage of that makes it into the combustion chamber.

[@Two-StrokeLife]

They could possibly find a "sweet spot" far enough from the wet band to prevent reversion of the oil into the cylinder, but still hot enough to smoke. It wouldn't prevent temperature induced pressure change, but may help with baby oil contamination in the cylinder. For those who want a basic visual here is a link upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/52/Arbeitsweise_Zweitakt.gif

[@southjerseysound7340]

Its also most likely causing a lean condition at partial throttle because of how he describes the raise in the RPM . 2 strokes are quite picky when it comes to exhaust modifications and as you know the expansion chamber is critical. The scavenging effect is tied directly to moving the air/fuel mix through the transfer ports. I hate to be the safety Nazi but this is definitely not something to just blindly go and do. It could easily lead to fouling a spark plug or something worse like a engine seizure in flight. Definitely not something you want to try for the first time in the air etc.

[@davidjessee7701]

@@Two-StrokeLife I agree.. the temp at the end of the header pipe is probably just as hot as it is in the middle of the pipe..move the fitting towards the end of the exhaust..

[@chasetonga]

You guys are really geeking it out in this thread. Even though I didn’t understand anything, I read it all.

[@michaelpendleton2158]

I can tell you're the fun guy at the party!

[@nofatchixxplease]

You should try COLORED smoke on your paramotor!!!

[@BeEasyTreeFarmer]

That's pretty badass and easy

[@nubie1100]

Wouldn't vegetable glycerine work? As that is a lot cheaper. I'm from the uk and it's only £10 for 5L..

[@tonymarzano2220]

That was some top gun shit there going thru the smoke 💨 just sayin

[@toolhog10]

I always wondered what you do if you misjudge doing a move over the top of the wing and you end up having the lines go slack and falling into the shoot? ... or is that something to just never have happen.

[@wll1500]

That's pretty rare, it has happened, and it usually ends with a reserve toss

[@cemerson]

What's the environmental risk/cost?

[@mark-]

Don't forget the air pollution

[@kyleoglee]

That's it, I'm doing it. All I needed was a tiny little push. Thanks T!

[@TuckerGott]

Yes!! Join the club. :D

[@PredatorParamotor]

Tucker Gott I love mine as well!!

[@kyleoglee]

Do you recall the optimal jet nozzle diameter?

[@johnhancockFenix]

Me Too Kyle , Gotta do it now for sure

[@TheTropicalViking]

@Kyle O'Glee please make a step by step video on how you make it. With a list of parts too please.... Thank you!

[@bcikablam3578]

XD I laughed at loud lol I wonder if that's actually what it was

[@TC-bz9dz]

I can hear your RPMs go down when you hit the smoke....never noticed it instill you talked about it in the video. Also very informative video Tucker....good job and safe flying!!!!

[@SternLX]

That chem-trail joke.. about killed me. ROFL

[@EpicAdventurePPG]

Does it get the chase cam oily?

[@lancesmit1021]

Tucker, try vegetable glycerin, its pure, clean and smokes like HELL!! Thats what vapers use to produce huge clouds. They also use it in night clubs and so on

[@Two-StrokeLife]

Tucker, when drilling exhaust pipes or thin sheet metal don't use normal drill bits use a Unibit stepped bit. They prevent break through grabbing, rough edges and possible pipe damage.

[@KevinSvensonCrypto]

Tucker have you ever came down to fast and hit the ground/ face planted with the motor on your back? is that uncommon?

[@maximlg253]

Face plants are uncommon. More often pilots slip or just forget to properly run out, resulting in a butt land

[@PredatorParamotor]

It happens. Not to me.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/novIi4uKr5qfna8

[@MrCPPG]

Now we can all blow smoke out our A$$. Ha ha I got a 1993 Subaru that does the same thing no mods needed. It drips oil on the hot exhaust and people think my car is on fire.

[@im.a.skyentist9692]

maybe check your head gaskets?

[@MrCPPG]

It doesn't seem to do it all the time. They were replaced about 28K miles ago. It probably is head gaskets but it doesn't overheat. EA82 good times.

[@fprintf]

I think it might be a good idea to experiment on the MT-07 now... delicious baby oil smoke system behind the motorbike!

[@tonyb8066]

Hey! Chemtrails are done by us commercial pilots. Quit trying to steal our jobs, Gott!

[@randolphknight]

I became a Patreon supporter to help keep you ad free...fail!

[@extremeultralightaviation]

Be sure your baby oil is "Paraffin Based". Plant based may build up in your exhaust. I looked at the data sheet for the smoke sold from aircraft spruce for OVER $50 per gallon and noted the base is paraffin oil.

[@Leo-mh2mz]

Is there any way with your system to do colored smoke?

[@SkiesTheLimit]

Tucker buddy, that pipe looks awfully close to the exhaust. What type of pipe are you using? I'm trying to put together a smoke system but I'm worried the heat from the exhaust will melt a rubber pipe

[@lynperk]

WHY NO PARTS LIST IN THE DESCRIPTION

[@FirstClassLighting2]

Hi , is this vittarozi moster 185 ? How do you avoid heat shield when making a hole ?

[@johnhancockFenix]

Going to install the smoke system on my New Fenix now, thanks Tucker for the easy descriptions !

[@MrBluemoonhalos]

Can you add in food coloring or something to give you colored smoke?

[@JulietsMan]

Lighting and colour of the final shot @11:10 is hands down the best closing shot of ANY of your videos. And yes, I have watched them all. The strong flood, green grass, and that colourful star-filled twilight.....just Majickal! BTW Check out my band website www.time4peace.wix.com/theMajickHours I'm not selling any music yet. Just an artist wanting to share with another artist. You are a great pilot and I have the utmost respect for your art. If you want any original, special, dreamy music for videos in the future let me know. Id love to collaborate with you! Take a listen to the rehearsal files on the site and let me know if you have any ideas. Cheers!

[@southjerseysound7340]

I'd add that 2 strokes are quite picky when it comes to exhaust modifications. The shape of the expansion chamber affects the engines tuning and spraying oil in it does a lot more on a 2 stroke than what it would to a 4 stroke engine.2 strokes use the scavenging effect of the exhaust so prolonged use could cause some serious issues. Especially if it makes it run lean. Chances are that's why Tucker's increased RPM at partial throttle. If he ran it too long at that load it could lead to a seizure or scored piston etc and that's why he uses it in bursts most of the time. I'd recommend testing it and checking to be sure it's not running too lean before going crazy with it. Luckily for Tucker it sounds like it causes it to run too rich at wide open throttle.

[@TuckerGott]

Exactly, there are definitely risks to doing this. I will add, however, that I have tested it on a full 1 minute 15 second burst with no issues. :)

[@southjerseysound7340]

@@TuckerGott thanks for the reply and sorry to be the "safety freak" . But I wanted to put it out there. Also thanks for showing the nice side of Jersey and if you're ever down the southern end hit me up. I fly out of Cape May and have a big tire Maule M4. It's not the flying cowboys by any stretch but nonetheless there's some cool sandbars to play at during low tide.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Yep - piping is everything in a 2-stroke. You can make docile engines become fire breathing monsters that will just about dislocate your shoulders with acceleration, on snowmobiles, or multi-cylinder motorcycles, with the right pipes and jetting to match. 👍

[@phillipmoreno4550]

You are freaking awesome Tucker I love all your videos keep doing it keep doing it keep doing it keep doing it

[@jarsonmarsonsr.9336]

Is there anyway to make the smoke colored?

[@danceswithstone]

Put on rose colored glasses and Voila!!

[@shaunmilor]

what if you went to the smoke shop and bought some cheap vapor oil with a high vg content?(High vg smoke =big clouds)mix with baby oil and Lay out some chocolate smoke, or cafe latte? eh?

[@mishawakapost2681]

I'm glad you warned the viewers about the baby oil that's made with real babies, Tucker.

[@klaasadema8989]

If you wanted more smoke.. is it an option to install 2 systems or.. is that tecnicle imposible.. like killing or damage to your engien??

[@danceswithstone]

Hey Tucker, Great ideas!! If all I can get is the kind with babies, do you think it'll still be fun?

I'm very late with this comment but why does the intro music sound like someones scratching a lenticular image

[@stanleydenning]

It may not be legal. But just for shits and grins. Try using automatic transmission fluid. Back in the seventies, we used it in our hot rods the same way you use mineral oil. It makes tons of smoke.

[@acoelho001973]

You should get one of those Halloween costume butt things to cover your tank so people can think it’s your butt back there.

any chance of a view and size of your smoke injector jet???? looks awesome effect.

Hi.. what is the smoke mix formula?? Tnkz

[@ResurgencePPG]

Where can I apply with the government to lay down some of these chem trails? Asking for a friend.

[@YankeeinSC1]

That my friend is the strict domain of airline pilots - sworn to secrecy. No one is allowed to talk about the huge chem manufacturing contracts, the enormous supply and distribution chain, the aux chem tanks on the aircraft and how they are installed and maintained, nor how using chem affects range and weight & balance, nor the special training to be able to pump out mind, birth and voting preference control chems, over a previously unsuspecting populace. Having said that what is this "friend's" name? Asking for DHS and the Chemtrail crew.

[@socore3197]

www.geoengineeringwatch.org/links-to-geoengineering-patents/

[@socore3197]

Not Domestic Airline pilots. These are done with USAF or other unmarked DOD aircraft using Intercontinental flights. There have been dozens of whistle blowers and MILES of documentation. But ahaha you're so funny... You can point fingers and make poignant jokes, you should have your own Comedy Central show!

[@KenLou]

If you don't want to work for the government I know a chem trail supply company for independents. HMU ;)

[@Roonasaur]

You don't get to apply for it, they just mix the stuff in the gas before you buy it. Why pay you when they don't have to?

[@JamesCampbellPPG]

You forgot contribution to greenhouse gases.

[@MrCPPG]

lol

[@BeEasyTreeFarmer]

So what's the flow rate of that pump? That's gotta be like a 400 gph to move 20oz that fast, I'm sure the Venturi effect from the exhaust gasses probably pull it in faster as well.

[@JamesCampbellPPG]

20 oz/75sec * 1gal/128 oz * 3600secs/1 hr = 7.5 GPH .... You're way off. :)

I have no idea if it would work but could you add food coloring to the oil to make colored smoke ? could be a fun little experiment if it doesn't mess up the pump

if someone else layed down wing over smoke think u could copy flight path? smoke follow the leader

[@DAS-Videos]

The smoke adds a lot. At one point it looked like a heart way up in the sky.

[@Joshoert2]

why not use vegetable glycerine? its what vapers use to get more clouds

[@patalford1345]

Have you ever tried adding food coloring to make different colors to the smoke?

[@SmittySmithsonite]

A cheap way to make ALOT of smoke using about 1/4 of what you use now, is to run ATF (automatic transmission fluid). You'll send treehuggers into an angry frenzy, but you'll have smoke the likes of which you've never seen before. 😁😁😁

[@palkvalvik3177]

If you add Breakfluid to the ATF (2 desiliter pr liter off ATF) you will get a "Thicker" smoke and it last longer. We did it on Leopard Tanks here in Norway :-)

Paramotorist: It's a smoke system Cons theorist: CHEM TRAIL

[@RwP223]

Have you done any research for yourself independently? You do understand that chem trails is a well documented thing that has been applied to our skies for many decades now. It Is Not A Theory, it is fact that chemicals and metals are sprayed into our atmosphere sometimes creating "contrails", again this is admitted science. Look up how many tons of Silver Iodide has been intentionally sprayed into the atmosphere to manipulate clouds/weather? Isn't it like 10's of thousands of tons? This weather manipulation is under the guise of many names and hidden from us in plain sight (only recently have grade school textbooks added con-trails to the cloud sections of books, it is insane).

The smoke is cool and all but please don't use it down low... in a public park... while other people who are trying to enjoy the beautiful evening then have to breath the stuff. It's also really not cool doing it over some farmer's crop since aerosolized oil *is* going to wind up on the plants.

I wonder if you could mix the baby oil with some dye to create coloured smoke? I know the Red Arrows use some dye with diesel but the exhaust temps are probably 10x higher.

[@sidneytiblier]

Ever tried adding wheels

[@macschmitz9194]

There a back stroke in the pipe so it injects a air/fuel mixture that goes into the header then back up through the exhaust port and combusting. So in theory your sucking baby oil back into the cylinder even a small amount would definitely effect performance.

[@Sn0wc4t]

Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm curious. Instead of drilling a hole in the wall of your exhaust, why not spray a thin mist into the tip? Similar to what jet based aerobatic teams often do. Obviously, that's a jet exhaust versus a little 2 or 4 stroke, but is it hot enough to smoke baby oil or commercial smoke oils used in theatrical hazers etc?
