Nice work. Sprinklers are much more mechanically complicated than I had imagined.

[@taylorlineberry4778]

The video was one day old when you set this comment. I imagine it will get there.

[@abhishikt]

then watch how gas nozzle works at gas stations.

[@jonathantuinier]

@@abhishikt I know, there so complicated!! Let me quess, you watch Steve Mould?

[@MonkeyJedi99]

Today is the day when I learned about the drain plug that can have an integrated pin for clearing the holes on top!

[@Микита-п9х]

Simple, clear, straight to the topic with all the supporting animations. Gosh, I wish there were more content like this on KZbin

[@shred1894]

Never thought about how an oscillating sprinkler worked, just knew they were $15 at Walmart. It's surprising how simultaneously simple and complex the engineering behind it is.

[@m1st87]

I watched this in 1.75x. Never in my life did I think I would understand how a sprinkler works in less than 3 minutes. This video is gold.

[@Five-O_Reviews]

I'm 43 years old and I just know learned that there was a nozzle cleaner built into the end of the sprinkler... Thank you.

[@carlok22]

May the algorithms overlords cast good fortune on you. Excellent Content, good luck on your videos

[@djbassaus]

You've answered a life long question of mine rather beautifully.

[@Eliasdbr]

I love automated mechanisms that don't need electricity to work. Excellent job with both the animations and explanations, keep it up!

[@thomasj295]

I waited my whole life for this video.

[@Drinksfromtap]

Huh, I never knew that end plug came out!

[@AmeHart]

Very much like Jared Owen's work. Fascinating stuff

[@romrb2]

Fascinating!! The ingenuity that went into that is so satisfying to see. Thank you

[@Deconstructed_Animations]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joebeezy9471]

Only 2 videos so far. I’m here for it. This is why I’m on KZbin. Your videos are amazing!

[@charlesjohannessen9366]

Only watched 2 videos and Im already craving for more. Love the production value and your way of explaining makes it so easy to understand! Can’t wait for next upload ❤

[@Deconstructed_Animations]

Welcome aboard!

[@MikeCee7]

Very nice video. but I’m slightly confused. When I click on the creator name and look at the channel information, it says “4” videos. (but there is currently only “2” videos there now)

[@ArturVerdiev]

@@MikeCee7it looks like KZbin is counting shorts as videos. At this point the channel has 4 full videos and 3 shorts and the counter in the channel description is 7

[@MikeCee7]

@@ArturVerdiev Ok, Thanks for the info.

[@AnthonyCelata]

I woke up this morning, turned youtube saw this and said to myself... Yeah, I do want to know how a oscillating sprinkler works. Instant sub keep it coming

[@VovaliumsThings]

Oh damn, i always wondered how these worked after seeing one in action at my parents' yard. Kind of amazing how handy they are, being able to water in rectangles instead of circles, like most common sprinklers.

[@sgt_s4und3r54]

Simply complicated and brilliant. It's easy to see why we take some things for granted.

[@ChaosNe0]

The fact that you have 11.9K subscribers from just two videos says everything there needs to be said about their quality. I always wondered whether there was actually a computer inside or some kind of pressure- or touch-sensor that somehow changes directions, but this design is both interestingly complex and beautifully simple. Very educational, nice animation, meticulous explanations: Please make more!

[@Justin-Outdoors]

I love how much technical data you have for something i can buy for $4

[@proberts34]

Clever bit of engineering packed into a simple water sprinkler.

[@117-OG]

The main object of the oscillating sprinkler is cooling down kids in the summer though. Even water distribution over a set area is secondary. Great video! :D

[@FlorenceSlugcat]

Words of someone who doesnt have a garden

[@MarcDE1609]

Finally! After years of thinking and forgetting the question, the algorithm suggests this video to me.

[@JaridMitchell]

Yooo this channel is going to blow up ive been looking for reverse engineering videos for sooo long to help me with my super small scale manufacturing processes.

[@UQRXD]

My life is now complete. Thank You.

[@lordmemester8798]

I love these videos, because they get me thinking about how I might use these principles to create things. They're also generally awesome. Love it.

[@4G12]

This channel is what happens when the CG budget is well spent and the voice narration rivals the quality of WW2 era training videos.

[@dansv1]

Excelent video. The oscillating sprinkler was invented by Norman Seidel, in March 1955.

[@ShaddyWoohooMan]

Very well done video. Feels like the old "how its made" days but on how things function rather than how its made

[@garyodle5663]

I never imagined that my water sprinkler was such an engineering marvel.

[@Pootie_Tang]

Finally, a channel where I get to satisfy my two most prominent needs: 4-8-8-4 and oscillating sprinklers

[@PizzaCat1732]

No way this has 1.1k views, it deservers at least 1,000,000. I thought it had that many views until I saw the 1k this actually has.

[@keriscott195]

I always wondered how these worked. Thank you!

[@Nicsnapsalot]

I absolutely love videos like this! It turns something that feels like magic into mechanical genius and simplicity in my mind

[@douglasburnside]

Some pretty clever people figured out how to make that sprinkler.

[@Maltanx]

Continue like this and you will be the next Jared Owen!

[@noeldavis618]

The animation and the description are both perfect. Thank you!

[@vincentkenelak5070]

well demonstrated video. deserve a sub.

[@MagicFoe88]

This had me wondering for years. Thank you!

[@sbomorse]

I love stuff like this. The casual genius of everyday items that you never see or think about (unless you're me!)

[@C8zzzD]

Love this honest content ❤... no clickbait title... it says it in the title and then explains it clearly with helpfull animation... new sub!

[@fabrimaal]

Well demonstrated and clear to understand.👍🏽

[@pafnutiytheartist]

Interesting, my first thought was that the gearbox switches, but bistable water diverter is much simpler and more clever

[@SillySpaceMonkey]

If you go ahead and never stop uploading, I'll go ahead and never stop watching!

Easiest subscription to a channel I have ever made. Keep it up, and thanks for the great breakdown!

[@lydiarose29]

Just found your channel, subscribed. I love learning how things work. Thank you!!

[@BoomRoomFive]

That's a lot more parts than I expected. I'd think some sort of double piston design would be much easier and cheaper to make. Patent pending ;)

[@MattH-wg7ou]

The impact arm sprinkler is pretty neat too.

[@Romualdomgn84]

Gut gemacht!

[@teresagreene7259]

That's amazin', rasin. I remember seeing these sprinklers in other people's front yards as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s and wondering how they worked.

[@sergeyk856]

Very clever mechanism!

[@Pete...NoNotThatOne]

Been using an oscillator for years. This is the first time I ever realised the end cap has a nozzle cleaner built in to it.

[@readplanet23]

Thank You sir for the educational and informative video. I never really knew how a lawn sprinkler worked, but I would have never guessed it was such a complex machine. Keep up the good videos. Have A Good Day Sir! 🛻🚤🏖️

[@maxdon2001]

Great video!

[@stuartgray5877]

Please do one that shows how mechanical recoil works with a person throwing an object on a frictionless surface, then a catapult or crossbow. Then show how this demonstrates the Law of Conservation of Momentum. Finally, you can show how the Law of COM applies to rocket propulsion and how rockets don't need anything to "push off of" in a vacuum. Your videos are so good you could do a really good job of making things clear for others.

[@C-141B_FE]

Keep it up! Great channel.

This was informative and interesting.

Very cool. Great job. I hope to see more.

Hi, could you make a video about the impulse sprinkler aswell please?

[@Alabaster335]

Blown a few of these up in my lifetime with too much water pressure lol

[@nasanasa3]

I was today years old when I found out sprinklers have a drain plug and cleaner instead of just needing to get drained back out through the fill/spray holes

[@aidanb5021]

What a well made video, good stuff!

[@AnderssonChr]

Thank you so much for this video, it was very interesting. I didn't know I needed to know this before I was recommended your video. How did I never even consider how these work? I'll definitely watch your other video now and I hope you make more like these!

[@sypernova6969]

This is a really nice video. well explained nnd very well deisgned. the only suggestion I have, would be to find a way to reccord your voice better. first step, I suspect would be to make certian you`re always at a constant distance to your mic. that will help withthe volume level. and then if you have the ressourecs, maybe look into a better mic. eventually. But seriously, high production quality, clear explanation. thanks for sharing this

[@DanBurgaud]

very educational!

[@lachieniven5273]

Great video:)
