The head/door opener thing works because the amount and shape of water in your head is roughly the right amount to act as an amplifier for the radio signal from the key fob.

13:00 Kyle Hill actually made a video on that specific topic; it actually works because the wavelength of the radio waves used in those keyfobs for your car are a similar ratio to the size of a human head, so providing a slight barrier that lines up with the wavelength amplifies the signal. Or something, it's been a while since I saw that one.

[@subtext9881]

What you are observing is a true quantum effect. In short, the radiation emitted by the key causes the atoms in your brain (mostly the water) to oscillate. The net effect is range amplification. To describe this particular phenomenon it is useful to think of the matter in you head in terms of a waveform, not as as a particle. It works with a bottle or jug of water too.

I feel like people who do the wrench on wrench crime have never thought of getting a long hollow pole and sticking it over the wrench for leverage. It's a whole lot safer and you can get way more leverage because you can make the wrench essentially longer just by sliding it over the wrench. I've used this method quite a few times because I like to keep my fingers and finger nails and not get blood blisters for when the wrenches slip off each other.

[@Demo12345]

At 9:48 where they show the guy using three wrenches, there's a safer method that's been around for a long time. Get a chunk of steel pipe that can fit over the head of the wrench and use that to extend the handle. It's often nicknamed a cheater pipe because you're getting more leverage and as-such you're able to get a LOT of torque that you wouldn't have otherwise. I also say this because you could see in the clip that the middle wrench was flexing and I would be afraid of it snapping.

[@geofjones9]

The pipe over the wrench is known as a Polish torque wrench!

[@SaintBuick]

Depending on the size of wrench that could be a very large pipe.

Another option for the bucket separation trick is to use water. Water doesn't compress, but it'll also find it's way into places. If you can blow air down into a stuck bucket, you can blast water down into the same place. So if you don't have an air compressor at home or lying around, you can crimp the end of a hose or use a hose nozzle and spray it at the seam where the two buckets are stuck together and you'll end up blasting enough water in there that it'll fill up, you'll be blasting more water in than it'll be able to push out on top of an empty vessel, like a bucket, will float on water if it's not compromised. So the water will try to find the easiest way out, which is not where it's coming in; oh hey, while it can't compress, it can shove this bucket that's limiting its space out of the way and make it float. But my point is that using water from a hose is essentially the same thing for those who don't have an air compressor and it's doing it with a "thicker" fluid than air. The key is that more fluid is being shoved into the space between the buckets through the tiny gaps that are there with more pressure and speed than the fluid is able to initially flow out of the same space.

For the hack at 6:54 I can see how it would be useful on very hot oil.

The rope start thing: This is sometimes shown in videos from india etc. with small RWD trucks and pickups, and definitely works for them. Thing is: thanks to the differential, there's also a 2:1 transmission (as the other wheel is stuck). In general, it heavily depends on the engine (displacement, compression, idling RPM, ...). Some engines do start even with a few cranks revs, other need 2 seconds to get the carb/FI running. With a modern Diesel, it might get way more tricky. Drawback of this method: You need either a reliable parking brake on the other axis or another guy (who knows what he's doing) in the vehicle, just like with pushing the car for a short distance to reach minimums speed, PLUS the car jack.

@@jonpinkstonI was just about to comment this, when I used to have that fm transmitter and it was acting funny, it would sound better when I would get close to it while touching it. Interesting indeed.

@11:55 instead of packing tape, it seems like silicone tape might actually be a sort-of long term fix for a broken boot. the silicone bonds to itself and is very elastic so it could probably last a while and definitely keep water out.

[@bulletkin5542]

I was a radio operator when I was in the military. My understanding is that key fobs also use radio waves to send the signal to lock/unlock the doors. I can't think of any reason why holding a fob to your head magically makes it work better. My best guess would be something to do with helping direct the waves in a specific direction. That or making them bounce off of stuff (hilariously, you can bounce radio waves off a building to get in contact with someone).

[@darrengray1849]

As a company driver, I pull down around $1,500 a week, running about 2,000 miles, get weekends, don’t have to worry about insurance, maintenance, permits, payments, or headaches. Spent 4 days with a seized hub in Mississippi earlier this year. Got breakdown pay for 4 days. Wasn’t what I would have made if I was running, but it definitely made sitting for 4 days a lot easier.

[@GrahamCrannell]

12:33 - the "car-remote on your head" thing is 100% real. It works because your head is mostly made of water, and water can amplify the specific RF signals from key fobs. Here's a video from Kyle Hill kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKOsl2OGdteNq5Y It's super easy to test for yourself. Next time you park, walk away from your car and keep clicking the lock button until it stops responding; then put your key fob against your neck/head and try locking it again. Nine times out of ten, it'll work.

[@clion520]

Also I think you can use some water bottles

[@GrahamCrannell]

@@clion520 - yep, that should work too 👍 the main operating principle is the water and its amplification properties

[@phatwayne]

This is fast becoming my favourite Donut production :)

[@smackdaddy7]

Sandro needs to be a part of every video

[@TheManLab7]

12:31 The reason why this works is your body acts like an antenna, so you can lock and unlock your car from a greater distance. When I get inside my house, I know my key hasn't got the range from me just holding it in my hand. So what I've always done is hold the key to my head, just to make sure it's locked.

[@alexbourg4165]

Fun Fact: The car FOB hack uses your skeleton as an antenna to amplify the signal so it can travel farther in a process called bone conduction. Press the FOB up to your skull on other large bones for best results.

[@nonamebrand1633]

I appreciate having Sandro on more often but Imma need Paul too. I love his friendly vibe

[@cripplemadewhole]

Sandro: "And that's how you take gas from your neighbor" dude slays me

Sandro BLEW ME AWAY with the "Venturi Effect" knowledge. 😂

[@thanehatcher2678]

[@dave161141]

ever seen a carburetor? basic school physics.

[@DR-sv8ke]

​@dave161141 lol "you didn't know that, I knew that. I'm so smart".

[@CRneu]

@@DR-sv8ke nah this is a reach. if you've ever worked on a carburetor you know what venturi is. It's pretty basic mechanic knowledge.

[@DR-sv8ke]

@@CRneu cool story, man.

[@Katanotkate]

The reason why car keys get more magical distance when you press them against your head is because human body is a very water dense, so you create mini dielectric resonator in your head. Water reacts in special way when we pass electromagnetic waves that can be helpful to make your signal travel further. Its usually done with head because head has least obstructions while your body is much thicker and can be obstructed by other objects, but logic is same since you have water everywhere.

[@FlyingMiniTacosYT]

I work on locomotives, and I'll tell ya 4 1 1/2" wrenches have saved me so many headaches. When you have bolts torqued down to 200+ foot pounds and you cant get the half inch impact on it a single breaker bar isn't going to cut it always. Especially because they sit for years without coming off. Most of the locomotives I work on are from the 70"s and I even work on some from the 40's, and not every bolt or nut comes off often. I recently broke a 15lb sledge hammer trying to get a breakhead bolt out of the bushings. We had to turn that bolt into liquid to get it out lol

[@jameselliott3909]

The key to the head hack works because the wavelength of the radio waves from the key are close to the resonant frequency of water molecules. The water in your head (there's a lot of it!) basically vibrates in the same frequency, amplifying the signal. You'd get the same affect if you held the key next to a bucket of water!

[@snowe..]

if you put it under your jaw and open your mouth it works even better.

[@anattempttomakecontent776]

You guys should do a “customer states” series, I watch those compilations sometimes

[@travisolander4749]

Sandro droppin knowledge bombs with fluid dynamics

[@jasonwebb1882]

Now I have snapped wrenches doing the 2 and 3 wrench breaker bar crap. I can't even count the scars on my hands from them snapping. All I can say, use expensive wrenches with a lifetime warranty. Snap On always takes mine back. Now of course I retired about 15 years ago now. Love this show and I'm binge watching the episodes now.

[@shonuffisthemaster]

semi truck tire retreading is NOT cutting new treads into worn out tires, its either rolling a new layer of raw rubber on top of the worn out carcass after buffing it down and then molding / curing that into new tread on the carcass, or sometimes they have a strip of new tread that they glue onto the carcass. it is never cutting groves in a worn out tire. the main controversy with this is the tread sometimes will separate from the carcass if not done properly, and this is why its legal to run retreads on a steer axle. tire grooving is a thing, but its typically done (legitimately) to modify new tires for better flex offroad, and sometimes like in the case of monster trucks, before they started making lightweight tires for them, they would cut off all the tread on a new ag tire and then groove new tread into the carcass to save weight. the air bucket hack sometimes works, but a more reliable method is to put the short end of a flat bar in the gap between the two bucket rims and turn the whole bar, thus leveraging the buckets apart. for the wrench on wrench hack, i got tired of doing this so i bought a cheap set of deep impact sockets, cut a short section off the end, and welded them to long bars. now i have a set of extra long 6 point box end wrenches and a set of medium long sockets. btw, don't attempt this unless you have a good metal cutting bandsaw.

[@GingerPlease]

Glad I just found this channel. What a fun and informative video! Love the mechanics here

[@salt-emoji]

Love Sandro and junior, funny guys

[@endingiphone]

Here’s a hack that can really help: instead of push starting your manual in 1st gear, use second gear. It will require a lot less “force” to turn the motor over. Use this all the time, especially when forced to push start my car by myself 🥵

[@merlin_V2]

For roll starting a stickshift car you put it in 2ND GEAR. In the first gear the motor has a lot of counter tourqe. The higher the gear the easier it is to spin the motor using the tires.

[@robertbogar1501]

yes, you'd have to use 3rd 4th even 5th, wheel was spinning pretty fast, clue

[@Therealkrsone]

I believe everything Sandro says because he looks like a mechanic/technician, not even sure what a mechanic/technician is supposed looks like, but if you gave me a room full of people and Sandro was a one of them, I’d pick Sandro.

[@MITKOhh]

the pull start on the car tire is totally true. i have done it two times and it is harder than it looks but it definitelly does it

[@TMan5971]

I imagine it’s like hand starting a prop plane, but with less risk of getting sliced in two.

[@Oo-IIII-oO]

Isn't it easier just to push start the car?

[@sarcasticat]

@@Oo-IIII-oO not if you're alone or there's nowhere to push

[@billymanilli]

and you get twice as much torque by pulling through the open differential.

[@orsonjgmail]

I also tried the rope thing to see if it was possible, and can confirm that it is, and also that it is harder than it looks.

[@joshisajedi2461]

Sandro is my absolute favorite in this videos.

[@bigalsretroroom]

So glad this channel was created, seriously love this idea

[@IdleByte]

Someone not looking carefully might reach under to feel for the cat and grab a handful of razer wire and scream... Not as wack as you might think... Also, radio transmitters are omnidirectional (i.e. weak in all directions) and putting up to a surface helps turn that surface into a satellite like dish and focusing/extending the signal into a directional signal. It has the opposite effect behind you.

[@KimboKG14]

2:45 if you don't have compressed air, jam a long screw driver between the two buckets. once it has reached the bottom, it'll come loose.

[@laafawnduh]

Sandro makes the channel. You guys gotta keep him
