[@CrazyGamer-qm3uj]

I really needed a 3d printer. But I am unlucky 😢😢

[@MatthewMenze]

I noticed when you were brazing you were feeding in the filler by hand. That works if you need to do it, but in those joints you can also form a ring of braze that slips over the tube and rests on top of the joint. Then cover in flux and heat it up. Because you have the filler placed exactly where you want it before you start the brazing operation, you only need to control the flame and heat evenly. This lets you get much much more consistent joints, and avoid most potential of moving the part accidentally while brazing.

[@remic2196]

Another tip, don’t direct the flame towards the joint but heat up the metal next to it. Once the base metal gets hot enough it will melt the solder and suck it into the joint.

[@PTMG]

another tip don't use brazing at all for a project like this soldering =/= welding and the dripping solder is exactly why

[@MatthewMenze]

@@PTMG yeah, welding would be better with anything that glows during normal operations. I do think silver brazing would be an excellent solution for the intake side however, as the capillary action of the filler is really great for getting a seal around fittings and joints, and it is very nice on thin parts as not melting the base metal saves you from a lot of distortion issues. It can also be handy on dissimilar thickness joints. That being said, brazing =/= soldering.

[@NAYI94]

Great idea. You could cool the engine with the air before it gets to the chamber, and by the time it gets to the chamber the air should be slow enough where he could get rid of the flame holder. It would increase efficiency drastically.

[@neosenshi]

That was quite "engine rich" exhaust when you had the nozzle. It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of the leaf blower thrust vs the assembled engine.

[@dom1105]

Integza what you do in this video is known as brazing as you are not heating the joining metals to melting point you are merely melting donor metal into the joints/surface of the metal. Welding creates sufficient heat to liquefy a small portion of the joining metals and the donor metal creating a new single piece of metal.

What you could do is allow some of the leaf blower air to bypass the core. That would help keep the exhaust cooler and you might get a bit more thrust too. Real gas turbine engines work similarly.

[@stevez2158]

I’d love to see you make a thrust vectoring nozzle. It would be interesting to see how much steering you could get out of homemade parts.

[@vincentguttmann2231]

Honestly, it could be relatively simple. Given a flexible high-temperature coupling, all you need are two pushrods connected to the nozzle, and you have full control over rotation. A 50mm linear actuator can be had for about 28€ on amazon, and all you need is two of those and an arduino to control it all for the most primitive form. Of course, those are DC motors, so you need a linear enconder (or a linear potentiometer, which is easier to read and probably also cheaper) in case you want position feedback. For a flexible coupling you could just use aluminium duct hose, as long as your exhaust temperatures are low enough, or you can actively cool the coupling.

[@nighpaw4651]

YESSSS this would be so cool It seems he's already chosen the people but you should definitely suggest this again

[@biohazardindustrieswr697]

Expert lvl idea: Add a nozzle with the ideal expansion ratio, and deal with the heat by regenerative cooling. For an even greater challenge, use an aerospike nozzle. This will make it so expansion ratios are a bit less important but it'll be much more difficult to regeneratively cool.

[@Slowly_Going_Mad]

I'm not sure if the pressure ratio of the leaf blower is enough to worry about that.

[@KerbalChris]

Bell nozzles are pretty much only for changing the impedance of the exhaust to the air, this is done because the exhaust can only leave at the speed of sound so decreasing the pressure by expanding the nozzle can increase the exhaust speed. Also regenerative cooling is cool but it would probably be more efficient to just route some of the air from the leaf blower over the nozzle

[@biohazardindustrieswr697]

@@KerbalChris Yes... Bell nozzles do increase the exhaust speed the larger the nozzles, but at sea level, eventually you start to run into issues(Flow separation, e.t.c.). Also I think it would be better to do regen cooling with the fuel since it's already at relatively high pressure in it's tank. Taking some of the leaf blower air to cool the engine would reduce the exhaust mass and/or speed and lead to a decrease in thrust and efficiency.

[@KerbalChris]

@@biohazardindustrieswr697 you notice how the engine flammed out when the leafblower was at the lowest setting? Thats what i was getting at with routing some of the air. Also flow separation wont be an issue at all, you’re still gonna use the expansion ratio for sea level and the ratio for that nozzle expansion and the throat wont contract the exhaust diameter too much

[@biohazardindustrieswr697]

@@KerbalChris Yes, the engine did have a tendency to easily flame out. However, that in of itself is an issue. I believe the best course of action would be to incorporate multiple combustion chambers, splitting the air in between them, and keeping the propellant regen cooling. That would solve all the issues I think. As for expansion ratios and whatnot, as long as the ratio isn't too high, I don't think it'll matter anyways. Integza isn't spaceX. He isn't particularly worried about ISP and all that anyways. Just thrust.

[@luigibrescia5894]

To improve the temperature you could channel a part of the air flow rate around the engine, so it can cool down the combustion chamber and the nozzle. This way you don't need additional control on the leaf blower. You can use an external casing like a turbofan engine and a divergent nozzle at the outlet of the blower so it slows down the air and can be connected to the case.

Propane is very similar to butane, except that it is harder to keep liquid, I recommend pentane for engines since it will not immediately become a gas allowing you to pump in very high pressure air for more powerful combustion

Instead of having a component that slows down air and thereby the combustion you could insert a pilot light instead, its like your spark plug system but waaaayyyy better and more consistant, it also shrinks the space it takes up.

Pilot lights don't do well with the wind. Even the largest of gas turbines use large ignitors.

Check for the operating range of temperatures your materials can withstand, there's no point in making a nozzle in aluminum, same thing goes for the welds. As for the nozzle this is the case where you could try to use a De Laval (if you could manage to get the flow sonic in the throat any subsequent expansion would accelerate it and provide you with more thrust) , spot welding a sheet steel one could somehow work but I wouldn't trust it to be honest, with the production capabilites you have now there's not a lot more you can try.

Would be cool to see you run a jet engine off of hydrogen. Keep up the awesome content!

[@vincentguttmann2231]

I don't think it's the most practical idea. See, Propane and butane can both be compressed into a liquid under relatively low pressure (up to about 15 bar). In comparison, hydrogen has to be stored as a compressed gas, which means really thick and really heavy tanks. In the past, we had a Volkswagen Polo that ran off of gasoline or natural gas (methane), and the methane tank took out most of the trunk. It was about four times the volume of the gas tank, and still the methane stored in it didn't hold as much energy as the gas tank. Given that methane holds more energy per volume of gas, (about three times as much), a hydrogen tank at comparable pressure will only provide a third of the energy of methane. And if we're talking about hydrogen/methane tanks, we are talking about a few hundred bars of pressure, compared to the 15 or so that propane/butane need. This also means following all the proper safety precautions for dealing with a multi-hundred-bar tank of a highly flammable gas. Gas tanks of that pressure are no joke, and if not handled carefully can easily kill someone.

You should consider to use propane or a butane/propane mixture. Butane burns well but has no power. Propane burns less well but has much power. That's why LPG for gas in summer time has 60% propane/40% butane, and in winter time has 40% propane/60% butane. The reason is that propane requires a higher temperature than butane to burn. In the summer the temperature is high enough to add more propane for better mileage but in the winter butane is added for better ignition. Don't forget a flashback suppressor 3:00 that is called soldering respectively hard soldering because temperature is above 450°C else it would be soft soldering.

[@Mallchad]

I actually think most of the thrust came from the leafblower as oppose to the combustion, despite it getting so hot. That's probably to do with the exhaust velocity, of course higher velocity is higher effiency. You know you can increase exhaust velocity whith a narrowing throat until supersonic velocity right? (then you need an expanding bell nozzle). Also more importantly I'd still say its running very oxygen rich, hence the extremely high temperatures. The leaf blower added oxygen, but way more oxygen than you bargined for. Yada yada. The oxygen ate the engine. Something like 30% of a modern jet engine (more accurately a turbofan engine) is just pressure recovery, controlling the inflow of oxygen to get a favourable reaction. Not too hot. Not too ineffecient.

Would be curious how much the thrust would be improved by adding an exhaust nozzle with the right expansion ratio 🤓🤔🤔 Excellent work! 👏👏

[@volt897]

Very powerful! To improve it, I suggest you to add turbines. It's just a couple of steel turbines attached by a shaft, and that should make your engine self-sustain , without the needing of a blower and with much more power

[@fluidmind3900]

Please give me 3d printer :) im poor and i cant buy my own ...

[@MemzDev]

Its not free you need to make a good idea, no one is gonna feel petty for you so get out

[@aleclasko]

"Today is a beautiful day... Perfect for a J.... Jet Engine." I thought he was gonna say something else haha. Integza has the comedic character of 3-4 people all in one. Unique yet still scientific. Best channel ever!

[@bozoproductions6096]

2 of those engines on a little go-kart type vehicle with wings and control surfaces would surely be enough to get you airborne with a long enough run up

[@CashinOutGaming]

Integza! big fan here, maybe look into mini-metal lathes. Pretty cheap and can turn steel...

[@TheLizzard_In_TheBox]

Idea is to biuld a jet turbine for a spinning thing, propeller, generator,etc

[@andyleathem9754]

I have a good possible way for you to make 3D printed parts into metal. You can print them in foam or any filament that melts easily and then put the part in a bucket and surround it with sand to make a sort of mold. Then you can pour molten metal onto the 3D printed part so that the plastic melts away and the part which left is made out of whatever metal you use. You could make complex parts out of steel or aluminum for future rocket designs. I learned this technique from TKOR were they created aluminum parts using foam board.

Bro, this is soo freaking insane! I definitely wasn't expecting this, please continue this project!

[@fcuriel86]

You should do this type of setup on a go cart but with 2 engines instead of one. Double the fun!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@BrodieWallace14]

Would love to see you build a full on thruster and maybe even launch something to the edge of space with it with a parachute!

[@olive_peel1324]

something that might challenge you a lot is a water jet like the the ones on boats. i don't hate tomatoes but the tomato lord is a jerk. 😁good luck if you ever do try this👍

[@miguelposada3684]

I don’t know a lot to give an outstanding idea for the next video but I am learning a lot! Thank you!

[@jcoop3660]

Beautiful mountainy village spot, slow poke 😏😁. That bike must be heavy metal 🎸.

[@anirudhdiwakar987]

I know this suggestion is late it might not even be seen, but a big, a very big part of the thrust comes from having a nozzle. The fabrication might be the greatest limiting factor for you, but maybe you can try a de laval nozzle or just a converging nozzle and see what works best for you. Hope the best for you!!

[@BlackSageArms]

I would suggest upping the ante and use 3 or these jet engines, that feed a larger secondary jet engine. That bicycle would be insane.

[@thecanadiankid9816]

You should make it BIGGER!

[@ukiduki]

Maybe you could use terracota pots as a convergent divergent nozzle? There is plenry out there with fairly correct shapes and sizes.

I have a trangia (methanol) based stove, with a modification, to make it run on petrol (gas in the US). It essentially starts with a pressure vessel, which is fed with petrol, and seeded with a manual air pump. A tap controls the fuel/air mixture leaving the vessel, into the burner. Once running the heat from the flame, keeps a tube which feeds the fuel into the pressure vessel, hot, so perpetuates the reaction. I wondered if you'd considered using that, as it ought to be more calorific than butane, so should give you more va-va-voom

[@masonharvey3263]

Idea: build an combustion/steam engine to replace the leaf blower. It would be cool to see how much thrust or wind you could make with different types of engines.

[@tiky2222]

I think for the next video you should create a clear container that can make a fire vortex inside using flammable gas, some 3d parts, and scrap.

[@neckbeardpaladin]

8:00 *Intense grinding noises* Integza- "it's a perfect match"

[@LB-ng8ez]

you’re obsessed with jet engines. i respect that, i will always be here for that. thankyou ! here’s an idea, car suspension compressor jet engine

[@jased2010]

Vid Idea: 3D print a tomato, and MELT IT WITH EVERY JET ENGINE YOU HAVE!

[@joymakerRC]

I feel like you should move to America, that's where all the cool people are, and its probably easier for you to get supplies for your projects. Love your face.

[@Toxtoxer]

I have an interesting idea for a video, trying to recreate a smaller version of the propulsion system of an old concept for a Vertical Take Off and Landing plane, it had three aero thermodynamic duct jet engines mounted on the tip of each wing, they all faced to the side and actually made the wings rotate to turn them into a giant propeller. Of course the thing was spun up using a motor to get air going through the jets, as it was required to start them up. Really fascinating concept, I'm sure it would be a fun project to work on!

[@mindl3sstuber114]

Idea rebuilding the bicycle. Find a way to get the energy from using pedals to the rear wheel without using chains or belts. For example loading a spring with the pedal action and using that to drive the rear wheel.
