[@TestECull]

I would like to see you do this test again, but instead of dispensing the dirt directly down the carb with a spoon, throw it into a shop fan that's in front of the engine so the engine sucks in a more real-world dirty air. I'm curious if the dirt covering the cooling fins will change the engine's mode of failure, or if itt'l last a little longer that way. Obviously itt'l still die, that's a given. I'd also like to see you get a tach hooked up to one of these engines, bypass the governor, and show us just how fast these things can turn until they go Kerbal on us. I'm betting somewhere around 5500-6000RPM is when the rod lets go.

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

TestECull iget your post... 8000 is possible with mods... i think the channel mr midshipman modified a predator engine this way (predator= honda clone) its done for racing though....

[@802Garage]

I agree with this. I'd like to see the test repeated, but as a bunch of dirt and sand dispersed in a "cloud" such as by a fan, which would better simulate how it would typically happen in the real world. Probably won't straight out kill the engine, but even a loss of 5-10 PSI would be a fascinating test result and very informative for those who run engines of any kind without a filter.

[@ProjectFarm]

This is a terrific idea! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@richfiles]

I wanted to give you moar thumbs up for a Kerbal reference, but have moar boosters instead... Or struts... Your choice! :P Good idea. If you wanna keep the mess semi contained, maybe set up the mower and fan inside an enclosed space... Airflow at the top to circulate oxygen, but fans around to create a cyclone of dust and dirt within the space.

[@scottdonaldson7845]

Not sure I feel this was accurately tested. I understand it is somewhat scaled down. But comparing such a small cylinder with a teaspoon of dirt seems like throwing a cup of dirt into a cars intake. That and it's literally pouring in, not really broken up into the air or tossed around an air box. Maybe put same mix into paint sprayer, make a faux airbox. And re-test. The amount of wear you put on the engine was just out scale in my opinion. If a full size engine was exposed to the amount dumped into the mower it would take quite a while to amount to that, there would likely have been an oil change or additives added at some point depending on the owner. My two cents, have a good one

Scott Donaldson i was thinking the same thing. It's a great video, BTW, but not very realistic in terms of scale.

Great video! I always heard that starting fluid will eventually damage a small engine, maybe something to try down the road. I look forward to the next edition.

[@ProjectFarm]

Brandon White, Brilliant idea! The best ideas truly come from viewers! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@lukeFugate]

That is a great idea. I've also heard that if you use starting fluid often the engine gets "hooked" on it as in it won't start without it.

[@ProjectFarm]

Luke, Interesting! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@jostouw4366]

thats coz the detonation shortens the rods and lowers the compression

[@JC-fy8wh]

I don't think some of the people criticizing doesn't realize that science isn't just about the flashy fun stuff and it is necessary for ones to meddle in the science of creation AND destruction. Good video.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@regwatson2017]

I actually feel sorry for that engine....

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for commenting.

2:57 "I gotta jar of dirt! I gotta jar of dirt!"

[@ProjectFarm]

Lol

[@RSmerlinRS]

omfg.. the motor head inside me died a little as thaty engine gave out.. RIP lawn mower, it was one hell of a ride.

[@ProjectFarm]

LOL! I think you motor head in you will spring back to life after the next video! Thanks for watching the and commenting!

[@josefkasprzak9490]

I will never get rid of my air filter on my vehicle. Of that took 15 minutes and my engine is much bigger it will take longer but that is much more damage that will be caused by the dirt that gets into my engine. I really appreciate what you do.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@stefanb.4044]

I would linke to see if "Engine Restore" oil can Help at this point of massive destruction. This is meant to be seriously!!

[@115repeska]

Engine: Let my die.. Drill: Not today my old friend

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for watching.

[@Garcansdad]

Real world destructive testing. Sadly putting sand into an engine is what the EPA expects junk yards to do to prevent re-use of perfectly good engines. Remember Cash for Clunkers? That's exactly what was done as well as running engines without oil. Great video!

[@ProjectFarm]

Garcansdad, Yes, I remember cash for clunkers! Great point! Thank you for the positive feedback and thank you for watching the video!

[@peterrudy9207]

I recently changed the air filter on my 2020 Toyota Camry LE , four cyclinder 2.5 liter engine . I had a Purolatoir filter and had sprayed it with PuraClean Filter Spray , allowed to dry and installed . It is used for furnance filters to attract / catch more dirt . I had contacted the company and asked about using it on a vehicle's air filter , they said sure . The filter had been in for 3 months and I compared it to a new one . Definitely a big difference and changed this time to a WIX , made in South Korea . Very noticeable improvement in acceleration and smoothness . I had usually left air filters in for 6 months , but as you said they are to collect / stop dirt from getting into the engine . So now to replace filter 4 times a year at a cost of $120.00 .

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@daniels1293]

"what happens if I dump dirt in the gas tank" *dumps dirt in* *engine shudders in protest an dies, "interesting"

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@aarongriffin6326]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@deadman12078]

Dirt: Natures lubricant.

[@ProjectFarm]

LOL! Thanks for commenting.

[@connorthesledneck1398]

Sounds bad for the environment. LOL

[@GamingDaniel-bf5hk]

Put water as oil

[@willart1735]

I'd like too see this

[@boredbeingbored676]

I've wondered this as well.. different kinds of oil substitute like water or mineral oil or ATF or maybe milk? Haha. Thanks for all the destructive tests.

[@cody8907]

Peewee Escandon it would just cease

[@Zourkoskey]

I would like to see this.

[@deasttn]

Why? We all know that it will destroy an engine and it's not a realistic test of anything that's ever going to happen. Testing engine additives would be helpful, though.

[@anderabercrombie2774]

Thank you for this video. My motorcycle recently shook off its air filter and in my ignorance I assumed it would be okay to run for a few days without the air filter. Boy am I thankful that that lawnmower gave it's life! Id be interested to see what could happen to an engine with too much, or not enough oil in it!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@wafemaster]

I would like to see you put: honey, candles, water, petroleum, petrol, Jägermeister, and raw eggs in stead of oil in it( maybe a mix of it too) I also would like to see what the engine does if you run it in dry ice. Thumps up for a big mess

[@ProjectFarm]

wafemaster, These are great suggestions! Thank you for the thumbs up and for commenting!

[@wafemaster]

your welcome! please like my comment too:) i would like to have my own channel too. i have thousands of ideas but no time to realize them -.- thanks for bringing some of my ideas to live :) greedz from germany to all

[@jakebuehre9090]

And bar and chain oil

[@mealex303]

Would the same happen if you added fine aluminum powder to oil in a good engine? Would itadd to cylider walls on a bad engine?

[@willart1735]

Good question, I'd like to see this The build up of excess aluminum would be cool to see where it accumulates Probably mess up the valves and keep one open

[@drkastenbrot]

r/Shittyaskscience

[@sean5431]

I see you are planning on sabotaging someones engine? Let me know how it goes lol.

[@FirstLast-ov7ch]

carbon buildup can give higher compression

[@brando6BL]

Most likely it would get caught up in the piston rings and gum them up. Loss of compression would follow.

[@kkrankie]

I speak fluent gas engine...@ 7:09 I can clearly hear that little 4 stroke pleading with you “please, just let me die....”

[@ProjectFarm]

lol. Thank you

[@alphafort]

tyvm for answering the question about power increase without air filters at the very beginning. You'd be surprised how many channels cant answer the question without rambling on well away from the question. thx again.

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome!

[@nscantling]

What about hydro-locking an engine? Having the engine run at med to high rpm and pouring water into the carb. I had a 2.2L GMC Sonoma break 2 rods when it sucked water into the enigine.

[@ProjectFarm]

Nathan, Great suggestion! This is a real-world possibility as you experienced! Thanks for watching the video and the great suggestion!

[@egSmith-sp9gl]

I don't think it gonna break a rod on a mower as the blade has not enough inertia to do this work

[@awesomefacepalm]

I've seens some engines blow the top of when they sucked in water. That would be interesting :)

[@ProjectFarm]

awesomefacepalm, Wow! This could be very interesting! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@esqueue]

I think that a mower's engine will take quite a bit to get damaged from hydrolocking.

[@richardlivellara9731]

I wonder how mad his neighbors get😂😂

[@conner5611]

Well he lives on a farm so Imagine not very much i blow up mowers that don't have any live left that my customers give me its pretty fun and I get spare parts from them

[@jameswagmasxn5867]

There was something personal between him and this lawnmower

[@ProjectFarm]

Funny!

[@sash0047]

The lawnmower slept with his wife behind his back.

[@ouch1011]

As much as I appreciate Project Farm’s product testing, I’d really like to see them get back to this kind of content, at least every once in a while

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@Polarbear5353]

Sounds , smokes , and spits like my 1st car.... ehhh and first girl friend....

[@ProjectFarm]

lol

[@garrettwilson2380]

Brutal Bear have had the same problem lol

[@guidelinesR4pooCz]

That was good lmao

[@stabssfmgineer1623]

Thanks

[@abhamber]

Everyone, hide your lawn mowers!!

[@ProjectFarm]

LOL! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

"It's going to be great to run through the engine." Nooo! I feel badly for it...

[@ProjectFarm]

lol. Thank you

[@1michael697]

Seeing engines starting up is satisfying af to me

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!
