How to Make a Remote Hose Pipe Controller

[@colinfurze]

Here we have another small project from the Furze book, what would you use it for....the garden or attack muhahaha. Link to get hold of the book yourself is in the description. Thanks to all that have bought it and are enjoying it. CF

[@pure9342]

Nice work Colin and congrats one the smashing read of a book 👍🏻

[@gleamx1739]

colinfurze well if this construction is fireproof i would use it for...well FIRE

[@tylerc7123]

colinfurze hi nice vids

[@AVRMV_Agency]

What you are saying about the Relay doesn't seem right. NC or Normally Closed is a closed circuit, that means current can flow. Normally open is an Open Circuit, meaning current can't flow. So its essentially the other way around.

[@StormzzLeader]

You can tell he isn't in his element for once ^^

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

When you activate the relay, it is closed. When you activate the relay when it is NO, the relay is open.

[@AVRMV_Agency]

A relay doesn't open or close itself. It opens the NC (normally closed) and closes the NO (normally open) Thats it. When the relay isnt activated, the NC will pass through current and the NO will not. When active, the NC will not pass current and the NO will. It literally switches the current from the right pin to the left pin. The center pin is what it connects to, also known as COM. COM is (when relay is not active) connected to NC. So current can flow from COM to NC. When active, it will disconnect from NC and connect to NO. So current can flow from COM to NO.

[@AVRMV_Agency]

Though it wouldnt have hurt to look it up for him. Its electronic basics really. He can make amazing things. So he should be able to understand a simple schematic of a relay.

[@StormzzLeader]

WumboTech You know he probably did but just got it messed up while filming.

[@adamcronin8846]

Im a commercial plumber in the usa and this will come in handy when im testing my waste and vent lines by myself! Thank you so much!

[@rafaelgsbr]

Normally open = No current flowing, except when you press the button. Normally closed = Current flows all the time, except when you press the button.

[@leonmaechler]

thank you, was looking for this

[@ShatteredLoyalty]

so No = Water sprays when the button is pressed Nc = Water sprays constantly unless you press the button, then it will stop untill you release the button (just an even more dumbed down version. some of this stuff can be a little confusing at times)

[@tams805]

No - The circuit is normally open. No current flows. Pressing the button closes (completes) the circuit, allowing water to flow. Nc - The circuit is normally closed. A current flows. Pressing the button opens (breaks) the circuit, stopping the water flow.

[@edwardfanboy]

You can get valves that are either 'normally closed' (power applied = water flows) or 'normally open' (power applied = water-flow blocked), as an added layer of confusion. To make the valve allow flow when the switch is activated, a valve that is normally closed would have to be used with a normally open switch, and vice versa.

[@orangemonkeykiller]

Rafael Gomes yep, he's going to drain the battery a lot quicker the way he's designed it. Either he has the relay energised or the solenoid energised, always drawing current from something

[@charh675]

Bought A book, happy to support the channel in some small way.

[@burastaroii7506]

This is the most serious and useful invention that Colin ever had.

[@gracklefpv8811]

Lol so true

[@bensimpson7919]

Some people should appreciate creativity. His stuff is aimed at all ages, I don't understand why people dislike his work.

[@Krydolph]

For someone who isn't native english speaker, and isn't a maker, but just fell down into this youtube rabbithole recently - it was nice with the quick explainer on what a solenoid valve was....

[@dasani7524]

I love how calm Collin is in these non exciting videos

He used to be, then he started catering for fucking kids.

[@shabbagadoosh]

I guess he's alright

[@ChadNierenhausen]

This is great! These instructional type videos are so nice to show how easy it is to get started making your own fun stuff. I still love the larger crazier builds but a sprinkle of these every now and then is awesome as well.

[@CrucialMuzic]

Now make one using a proximity sensor so it's completely automatic ;p

[@walperstyle]

and instead of a hose, insert shotgun! yay...i'm on a list again...

[@SLMxLegend]

walperstyle or a pipe bomb

[@walperstyle]

Yeah, its not hard to make some really amazing defence systems, but our legal system is progressive up here in Canada, so They'll probably infringe on me for a thought crime.

[@peepopalaber]

Make it yourself. Its pretty simple.

[@JB9000x]

I want to have one that I can remotely direct. After rugby matches drunk men piss on my hedge and I want to point it at the perp and shoot. Thanks for the tips to get me started

[@mafuletrekkie]

You know, as much as I enjoy watching you make insane things, more things like this that are actually practical would be neat.

[@willbill6449]

Quality entertainment and teaching at the same time. Never stop Colin!

[@joelrampersad1359]

Colin, you're the kind of shed inventor that made Britain Great.

[@mikeselectricstuff]

Using 9v batteries, that receiver will probably drain them in a few days. Also you almost certainly want to use the NO contact - with the NC, you will probably be running either the relay or the solenoid all the time, again running the batteries down when it's doing nothing. And winding wire round spade tags is going to be really unreliable. At least wind a few turns round. Really not up to your usual build standards.

[@gffeg]

anss he made a mistake with the nc and the no

[@markusofficial9016]

I didn't expect a comment from Mike on here.

[@tastindaganja]

ouch, all crits out today..

[@i.g.noreme825]

mikeselectricstuff Yeah it was a bit sloppy and boring. I would have expected him to run gasoline trough it and have an awesome flamethrower sprinkle or something .

[@2darker]

nemode dj This is a new adventure for him, kids. Criticism is key to success. Albeit kids will have fun with this design, always best to get it right. With that said, intentional poor designs could lead to the students discoving the more efficient/correct method. All fun times

What a neat little side project, the how-to's are not annoying and helpful to practice the right way to do things (not acrewing them up randomly and unscrewing if thigs go wrong). I made one of these a while back, but without the remote control! Time to replace that on-off timer switch with something more fancy, or simply add it as an extra!

[@thedavinator37]

Everyone says these are boring but I actually like these. Any type of learning from Colin furze I’ll take any day.

Remember when colinfurze was not doing dumbed-down videos? Pepperidge farm remembers...

[@UltimatePwnageNL]

KZbin's entire demographic has shifted over the years, following the biggest group. That used to be tech savvy people because computers where for nerds. Currently every kid and their dog has a phone or tablet with a youtube app on it, so their main demographic are kids, moms, and people who don't have anything better to do than watch youtube all day. ... youtube is the new television, which also went from quality content to dumbed down shit as tv sets became commonplace.

[@neonwolflive1642]

Remember when Pepperidge Farm jokes were funny? Nope me neither.

[@seagullbrains]

this is the first video that i've seen of his that's "dumbed-down", and it's from his book for kids, and kids are dumb

[@rageagainstthebath]

If he feels like doing an easy tutorial for a change, it's totally up to him. However I must admit, if he aims to make more tutorial videos, I'd split his work into two separate channels - tutorials and inventions.

[@rossfreeborn8122]

It's an old meme sir, but it checks out.

[@rob98000]

I used to build robots and compete against other people's bots we used a phone setup where one phone was on the bot and the other was connected to a controller, we even had to code the program to control the robot.

[@ichspiellp3685]

Mr.Death the problem would be to bring it the input from the reciver to the actual steering from the car

[@rob98000]

We had a central motor controller, it was a hub the phone would connect to and it also connected to the motors.

[@rickmcguffey9881]

Very cool... I bought three copies of this book... going to make some of these projects with my kids.

[@NikolajLepka]

isn't the common terminal meant for the "negative" lead from the solenoid?

[@Sokar6186]

Yep, though since the solenoid is non-polar, it doesn't really matter.

[@SverigeiSverige]

Niko L No

[@electronaut2424]

no, not really. Its the common terminal for either the NC or NO contact. I would usually run the positive wire through the relay so it isnt always a 12V at the solenoid.

[@aber06griffind1]

Niko L.. com. Is common power on the contacts. You have a 24v supply to the pcb used for controle. Common is the supply to the load of what it is that your switching

[@ThisMicrophoneSoundsCheap]

It doesn't do you any good if you connect both wires of the solenoid to the relay, in case you meant that. It'd just be shorting them together or not. If you'd connect one lead to +12V , the other to COM and NO to the ground, then it's called low side switching and it's how you'd do it with a transistor, but generally not with a relay. PS. It's not like a "common ground/reference" on a multimeter. It's just a common for the no and nc contacts of the relay and nothing else.

[@tryingtoreachyouaboutyourc6161]

Something is dead wrong with this video... Where's the lucky near-death experiences from new inventions?

[@juschu85]

8:40 That absolutely makes sense and makes the board more flexible. When you want to switch a 120V or 240V device you shouldn't power the receiver and the relais with that voltage. So you need two different power inputs.

[@sguploads9601]

actually good system ghas two voltages - one like 5v for electronics and other like 24v for solenoid. why his replay is so strange and work with one voltage I have no idea.

[@BlackWolf42-]

Not your best work. The one you showed at the beginning of the video was nice. The one you cobbled together was a bit ghetto.

[@Vinnidict]

I'm confused to what demographic you have been trying to hit recently, and you must be as well. With the kinds of videos you have been making for the last while you are obviously trying to appeal more to kids, and i guess you have had a growing younger audience since you started out. But no kids are going to make this, yet alone have a use for it, so what exactly is the point now. It's like making a kids show about how to do your taxes, I'm pretty confused.

[@zusurs]

"no kids are going to make this" Why not? I made things like these back in old days, when I was in 2nd/3rd grade - that was my first experience with electronics, relays and radio/infrared remotes, LEDs, soldering irons, etc. (of course, back then our family was poor as f*ck, so all the components was salvaged from recovered broken toys/devices) After some experimenting and little trial-and-error learning, I made a lot of cool stuff - I remember making a remote control for my desk lamp, and light-beam-interrupt beeper, so together with friends we could replicate the spy movies that we loved. Not all kids are retarded (at least I hope so - seeing today's kids actually kind of worries me...)

[@vikaandducks]

I encourage kids to make items like this. Simple and fun. But you are allowed to dislike the video. I just think that more kids should do this instead of playing video games. "And post"

[@DanteYewToob]

This would be great for a Red-Light/Green-Light game using a sprinkler, and put a slip-n-slide at the end, or make the race end at the pool! (For those unfamiliar, I'm Jamaican so this might be a game not everyone knows, it's a race type game where all the kids line up, and one person separate shouts "Green light!" And they all run, "Red Light!" And they have to stop. The fun is trying to trick people by saying stuff like "Green LIME!" or "Red Flight" etc... if someone runs before you say green light, or if you say a different word they go back to the start, same with red light.. if they don't stop fast enough or mishear you they go back. You can use any code words you like, or even use actual lights, or hand gestures, but in JA where I'm from and in FL we used RL/GL. So my idea was to use the sprinkler with this game, run while the water is on, stop when it's off.. first to the slide or pool wins, and maybe you could add some obstacles and fun stuff along the way, slip slides, kid pools etc.. ) Some variations you can try: - Hand gestures. We have done games where right hand up/open was go, left hand up/open was stop. That was hard because kids mess up the arms, or run even though you made a fist.. the more impatient they are the more fun! - Trivia Run! Ask fun questions, like "What is Hulks real name?" Or "Who was Spidermans uncle?". This one only works with a few kids, so you can hear the responses. If they get it wrong, they start over. - Jam Session! Play music, and only run while the music is playing, but with a twist. If (once stopped) they can guess the song and/or artist they can take a few steps forward, or jump ahead a place. But if they get it wrong, they go to the back of the pack. This one is my favorite to play with my sisters kids, because they love classic rock now and it's cute hearing a 6 year old shout "Forever Yours! JOURNEY! Right!? Did I get it!?" So it's a fun way to share music you love, and know they probably can't guess it until they've played a few times and learned the songs.
