i just took a huge dump
Love that the banana and the hotdog both had sparks
Hiw is this coment 13hours old it just came 5 mins a go
@@jacaboscrafts7729 because when a videos uploaded and when a video goes public
Now we just need a Quadcopter Drone with 4 Anglegrinders as propellors and the insanity is complete.
Already has been done
@@ageorgiev89 link?
@@ageorgiev89 sure you don't thinking about rotor riot doing it with small 1milion rpm pensil grinder?
I found this on TH-cam. But I'm curious as to the power vs. the weight. Can it lift more than one with regular rotors? th-cam.com/video/5TEIHUnnMz8/w-d-xo.html
estonians did it already th-cam.com/video/5TEIHUnnMz8/w-d-xo.html
I can't even count how many times Peter has set out to make something and I'm like, no way this works, and then of course somehow it works
Lol that's what happens when you're graduated in college and high and now make content that you think I would not work this shouldn't be a surprise he made a drill fly
And this one worked the first time too which is even more crazy and impressive
@@michaelcarlisle7713 Making an angle grinder fly is not a worthy creation from a college degree, it's something an inbreed hic creates in his living-room-garage provided it doesn't kill him first.
Now, the multiple unmanned and manned planes Peter created, that... THAT is what I'd expect from a college graduate.
Though to be fair, read this i just posted:
"Ya know... one can only upload SO many practical and safe videos SO many times before people say, "this was already done on a dozen other channels", leading one to the conclusion, "one has to create NEW and UNSEEN footage to bring in NEW subs and not lose old subs".
Enter the age where Natural Selection no longer exists and millions of otherwise stupid people (dude at 0:44) clamor to subscribe to NEW and UNSEEN content, intelligent and sensible people would not watch."
I feel sad for future generations including todays younger generation, they get NO ne content, just content they THINK is new till they discover the old song, movie, or physical device it is based on. =(
of course, as you already know, I am just one of millions of you tube commenters who's comments don't matter =P
Edit: Just checked out the end of the video... ok ok it actually worked and IS pretty cool.
Well played PeterSripol... well played. (stands and applauds)
And it usually works on the first test run.
I said it before; I'll say it again, Peter you da Man! You can make (almost) anything fly!
Cheers and well done!
You should definitely make a flying dremel. Those things make a LOT of rpm.
That’d work with a quadcopter. 4 dremels at the top, and the “cords” going to every arm
Edit: I found a video of someone doing this th-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/w-d-xo.html
@@averagememer7068 maybe 4 dremel motors but not 4 dremels 🤣
Yeah but they make 150w of power...so those rpms will drop to like a few hundred rpm.
HE DID IT!
@@averagememer7068 false link i got sent to a cooking video
The guy who did that asymmetric design for this plane is a pure genius.
This was terrific my man. I'll never look at angle grinders the same. Also that * narrow * escape from death on the first throw was heartstopping haha
I hate horses
@@martinbobak3009 Peta, the horse is here.
I'll never look at BANANAS the same. They weren't kidding when they told us there was a lot of iron in bananas.
I would like to see an oscillating tool be used to make an ornithopter. Now that is a real challenge.
Like a sawzall or a jigsaw. That would be hilarious.
@@kelseyduerksen6404 I was thinking the oscillating multi tools, they're crazy fast, like 20,000 oscillations each minute.
@@danielbrowniel more power out of a sawzall. It has a transmission to turn the rotation into forward-backward just gotta make another one to turn it back into rotation. Losses galore.
@@danielbrowniel yeah I use a Ryobi one for work and it's a bad mofo
reciprocating saw, perhaps?
Seeing sparks come off a banana and hotdog confused me to my core
Those are GMO food rich in Iron as he said!
same lol
@@karnobot9814 you do know that non-gmo food has the same ammount if not more?
@@wparkerunc it was a joke
Same
I love all the chaotic nervous laughter as they’re testing their different ideas 🤣
Just the asymmetric aircraft idea deserved it's own video
This was a double bonus.😄
German idea
@@kreterakete Was already mentioned in the video it's German
@@TheMegaTheseus no it wasnt
@@Ezekiel_Allium Line was "The germans did it" in the vid
@@omgitsrez nope
I lost my shit when the foods threw sparks 😂
Absolutely mad. For those who dont know its pretty widely agreed that they are already the most dangerous hand tool, this is really crazy to even be in the room with.
IKR, how does this guys still have his fingers?
i think you mixed up dangerous with fun
More than a chainsaw
I had one get caught in my shirt once, lucky to be alive
I like the single-bladed helicopter because it reminds me of the zombie chopping blades from Ravenholm in Half-Life 2. Right down to tearing itself off the center and going flying.
I was thinking the exact same thing lol
Got to give it to Peter's bro for being the MVP and walking right into the face of danger for this hair-brained project. Sketchy as all heck, but it was entertaining as well.
MVP? I personally know someone who's lost a finger holding a work piece for someone else to cut with a n angle grinder. Imagine how stupid you'd feel for mangling your brother's hand so you could cut a hot dog for TH-cam views.
@@fleacircus4408 We wouldn't be here with planes, rockets and helicopters if men didn't do stupid shit like that my man. Brothers putting each other in danger is a tale as old as mankind :D
@@fleacircus4408 It is stupid, but if somebody puts their own health and safety on the line for you, you'd better treat them damn well outside that situation. It's in that context. Peter owes him one.
@@fleacircus4408 there's no need to darken the mood like that, but yes we should be safe
@@TranceMatzl15 You think cutting a hotdog in half for internet views is gonna invent the next rocketship?
if you can make an orbital sander fly, you'll be officially the King of RC
Some scary battery operated kitchen tools might fly. Like mixers. But if you can make a belt sander fly...
The fun thing with the BV141 is the tail design wasn't because of the asymmetry - it was for the tail gunner! They wanted them to be able to not have to worry about the stabilizer being in the way. It was mocked for its design so never saw production beyond the first prototypes, but filled the role of a single engine scout/bomber that it was designed for pretty damn well in initial testing.
This is the second most dangerous tool on the site (second to the operator). You made it fly. This is terrifying, and genius
just looking at the thumbnail and the title this allready sounds like a dangerous idea and I love it.
What about your pfp tho lol
next up, flying near powerlines
shout out to morningbrew for not being afraid of sponsoring a fun video like this.
You should re visit this with a cordless dye grinder. I think mine does 20k rpm.
Yes.
Dye grinder could be the stabilizer propellor on a helicopter!
He chose a low rpm angle grinder on purpose. The propellers can't handle rpm that high.
Peter, you're the reason I know about FAR-103 and have PDFs of the airspace maps for my area saved to my phone. I had given up on my childhood dream of flight and you brought it back. If I had access to the tools and workspace, I'd already be off the ground
A bi-anglegrinder plane would be insane and with a better balance, every time i see you come up with a new idea i’m like « obviously it won’t fly » but you prove me wrong every time ahah
The bi-planeglegrinder
Twin prop beast, please. I would love to see how effortlessly it takes off compared to the single prop off-set.
I didn't realize how much I missed the "making something fly that shouldn't" genre of videos. Thanks for that.
Band saw sounds like a fun twin engine. You might have to twist the band to get counter rotating props.
Peter, it is incredibly difficult to read the title of this video with out bursting into laughter!!! Well done and thank you for always bringing us joy.
i am amazed by how little trial and error there was here, idk if its just how youve edited the footage but that seems like a first time pretty perfect effort lmao
Ah yes, yeeting a helicopter into the air with a stick inches from one’s face. I know it well 😅 Nice job Peter!
Love your channels
How about a blowtorch aircraft? I don't know how you'd create thrust from heat but if anyone could figure it out it would be you! Maybe a hot-air-balloon style airship or a mini steam engine?
Great vid as always!
Ministeam engine sounds hilarious.
i wonder if it would be possible to attach a nozzle to the blowtorch for a makeshift rocket engine
good idea, maybe a hot air balloon
the regulations for liquid rocket engines are pretty strict compared to solid rocket engines
Mhm a Stirling engine could work fine the main problem with a Propan troch is it needs to move a lot of air to generate thrust but with a fan (electrical driven) prior to a burning chamber it is possible to generate thrust by expanding the air with heat so it gets fast out of the back called hybrid jets
everything worked far better than I expected, bravo
I'm very impressed with how well that first flight went! You guys are awesome!
I love how it struggles the most with the banana
Honestly I would like to see some type of helicopter made exclusively from Home Depot parts.
Do it yourself :)
...and you can paint it orange!
this is great...... everone is into drones, not many into anglegrinders...... as an old machinist i love them....
see them fly makes me lives them even more.
Thanks for taking the time to make flying anglegrinder, video and share it...
8:00 you guys really sucrificed your safety at those parts.
You probably already noticed this but each time you push the copter wings with the launch pole, you’re inverting the angle of the blades turning all that wanted upward thrust into downward thrust, or no thrust just gravity, but it is a great idea and I think Peter can get it to work, little bit lighter blades with a better angle and “out of box” design,
so the best launch would be to hold it high, then just pull the pole down, and run fast
@@moonriseproductions or jump off of something
@@moonriseproductions well realistically if it can't take off from the pole on its own it would never sustain flight
@@moonriseproductions actually the best launch would be for the copter to slowly gain proper lift and lift itself off the launch platform, the use of the pole should solely be used to stabilize the unit until it can sustain its own lift. Unless it’s purpose or design is to slowly fall like a parachute or a glider, then some form of launch or drop from a secondary unit be required.
I don't think they would be inverted, looks more like they are just flexing down.
Pushing it up doesn't invert the pitch of the blades.
And that's even less likely to happen since he added the small wing.
This just looked like it didn't produce enough lift.
It's always a good day when Peter uploads
Lets be honest we waited so long for this:
th-cam.com/video/mCfYi7634rU/w-d-xo.html
I was thinking the same thing
Dude especially when he upload twice in one month
Spot on
I bought two years ago cessna 182 1400mm foam, radio, bqttery, servos, motor etc. Learn a lot, spend much time with my son on this plane and we tries 5 times and always crash instantly. But YOU can do a plane even from metal grinder!! Thats a skill!!
Its just amazing.
The team is enjoying and having fun while learning.
An Itallian WWII plane design that I think would make a neat electric model plane is the Stipa-Caproni where the main fuselage was basically a hollow tube with the propeller inside of the tube. Some say that the design helped with the development of jet engines.
It was an interwar design (first flew 10/07/1932) not a World War II design but it'd still be neat
If I remember correctly they were about as easy to turn as an aircraft carrier, would be a cool video though
@@iR-80 I had been thinking that there were a few used at the very beginning of the war, but now I see that I was wrong. Thanks for pointing that out.
Use two angle grinders to build a tilt rotor aircraft like the osprey. Have the batteries remote mounted in the main fuselage to keep the weight down on the wings.
I was thinking the exact same thing
Love it they've got over head power cables right next to shop, adds to the drama !!!
Nice to see a video where you guys make progress at the start. Sometimes the videos just feel like they take a little to long to get to the point but this one was just right!!! Interesting sooner and entertaining. Keep it up I hope to see more videos like these.
10:25 that was freaking incredible
Peter needs to make a flying chainsaw. That would be terrifyingly awesome
@PeterSripol If you take the angle end of the grinder and make a small plate to replace it, you will then have the motor running inline with the fuselage making it easier to balance out. Will also give you the full power of the motor.
That worked much better than I was expecting
"that is a very big shaft... This is a very small hole"
I hear that regularly
You can see how happy Peter is to be working with his older bro, pretty damn wholesome if you ask me.
What happened to sam
@@Catmeat106 sam so yesterday...
(Sam's OK right? Now I feel bad...)
@@Catmeat106 I think he's filming isn't he?
@@yakacm idk he was usually in the videos whole recording, haven’t seen him in awhile
@@Catmeat106 I thought he was a clone
This went surprisingly better than I thought
Happy 2023 everyone.
A wonderful channel I've found.
you guys should try a hand-held router next. some have a more cylindrical/tubular shape so it would be easier to make a sleeker plane with.
chainsaw also
@@loriamora6202 i remember a popular Mechanics magazine from the 60s that had a dual chain-saw motored (gasoline) airplane capable of supporting a human. I was just a boy, but I wanted to build one.
When I think of something that I probably shouldn't try at home, I can trust that Peter's taken the risk for the rest of us on the internet.
what an awesome project! I wanna hang out with these dudes
Wheels/landing gear fitted to the plane would make a good addition.
Hey Peter - project idea! What if you made a plane without ailerons, and instead had the main wing on a rail that moved the wing left/right to tilt the plane one way or the other, due to the imbalance of lift on either side? To explain it another way: The wing (when moving on the rail in one direction) would be getting longer on one side while getting shorter on the other due to the linear motion on the rail, 90° from the direction of flight.
that's a really creative idea, I'd watch the hell outta that
Sounds like rotational torque would be a big issue
I think that's how some hang-glides turn... The person shifts their weight and thus moves the center of gravity left or right making the craft roll and turn in that direction.
And have the propeller on a rail too to make an offset in the center of thrust relative to the center of gravity, giving you yaw control :D
Move it forward and back for pitch too? Wing-warping could be interesting also, though the rib design for warping wings may not be trivial.
Hard to believe what I just witnessed. This guy always creates the ideas I have in my head. Awesome 👌
I’m impressed with his ability to pilot all this crazy stuff. If you have ever flown an RC plane without gyros and modern stability systems, it ain’t easy on well designed models.This dude? Asymmetrical designs, crazy CGs, ridiculous drag coefficients, violent cg shifts, oscillations , piss poor control surface authority, flexible fuselages, twisting, warping. No problem! It’s impressive the crap he can actually keep in control.
When you tilted ban and throttled up it really seemed to pull, cool vid
I would love it if you could make like a guide or a series about learning to build awesome rc aircraft like this (Not with an angle grinder of course) but like go over the design process, materials, the right electronics and motors, and assembling and wiring everything. Just a suggestion
I love how you're completely protecting yourself near the end of the vid!! super safe and not sketchy looking at all!!!!🤣
Several moments where i was sure this contraption was going to claim an eye, a limb, or a life. Bravo, good suspense for an entertaining premise.
0:03 I started getting flashbacks of Ravenholm and Father Grigori's traps
That was awesome from start to finish. I was so impressed when the Flyobi flew for the first time.
I would really like to see a semi serious build with gutting the materials that add extra weight and young a higher end angle grinder. This was really impressive
you can see during launch how strong the effect of p-factor on this plane was
interesting
This clip is wonderful!
The best part was the introduction to an asymmetric aircraft. Fascinating.
Wow nice drone work
I bet a circular brushless circular saw would be pretty good.
I love the spirit of this flying power tools series, its just the best!
The off-center plane was very impressive! Great video!
I really didn’t think it would work I’m really impressed that it flew wow
this dude can make anything fly
A die grinder or router would be pretty awesome. Similar to an angle grinder except the tool points straight ahead instead of 90 degrees to the side, and they can be very high RPM, up to 30,000RPM.
I want to see some exploding propellers.
Or just unbolt the gearbox off the grinder, that's making a lot of the noise, and the gearbox mountpoints would be useful for attaching the grinder to the craft.
DREMEL!
Wow I am impressed at how well that worked out of the gate! So cool. Editing of episode also really tight and moving. Great to watch thank you.
Including the steel hot dog. Not sure if they are just built different or something but I wouldn't want to eat one of those
You should make a version of the Goodyear inflato plane. You can use/make airmat
This is probably the most terrifying tool conversion yet 😂
Loved the grinder video and I would love to see you make a plane with no visible means of propulsion, like a Dyson fan.
There are already ducted fan rc plane motors.
I always look forward to Peter's video's to see what mad creation he comes up with, he always tries and tries again until success. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. 👍😁
You have a crazy torgue, make a lot of blades with extreme angle of attack.
You are a mad man. I love it
What about a Dremel? I've used them for many projects including a mini lathe. I don't see why one wouldn't produce enough thrust to lift a small airplane.
Aiming for the stars I see! Cutting edge technology as always! This vid made the cut for me!
instead of connecting the propeller directly to the angle grinder, attach it to a drive shaft. extr points if you take four of them, and make a quad copter
Definitely should try this again but take the angle grinder apart so it can sit properly inside the fuselage so the weight can be more evenly distributed
I'm really amazed how you always find new ideas for your episodes. A good one, as usual 😄
Probably by looking at old content already made?
Hey, I think it would be interesting if you made a step by step model plane building video including your thought process and problem solving while building these planes.
I love that he used a metabo grinder💪
Cool rig!
If you take the bevel gears off, the motor can sit longitudinally helping out the balance, and the rig will also enjoy a little less mechanical loss. I dont think the gears have any actual reduction, so you're still direct drive.
You should try the Milwaukee m12 die grinder. It’s light and high rpm’s plus the straight model is perfect for mounting. Or the right angle version for a drone configuration
For a single blade helicopter, you need propulsion at each tips of the blade, pointing in opposite direction (to get a clockwise or anti-clockwise movement) ... like they do in China with fireworks flying wheels. The centripetal force helping, it'll stabilize the wing.... but all the weight being at the tips, it'll also increase the possibility that it tears apart.
Actually it should be ok with propulsion on only one tip. However you do need a counterweight, so that the center of mass is reasonably far away from the prop so that it can create good torque. The designs in this video didn't have that. Best is of course to use the battery as the counterweight.
@@leftaroundabout Charybdis, McCutcheon's machine, Flying Maple seed. Plenty of examples on youtube of them. Might not be strong enough structurally but looked like his center of rotation was too far off from his center of balance. For the two bladed one I would go with a smaller prop delivering higher speed but less static thrust. I think he got all of the thrust out of the big prop he could but it just wasn't high speed enough especially so close to the center of rotation where plenty of thrust is going in the wrong direction just because Angular moments are wrong. I ran a Monocopter challenge on RCOnline back in 2007, it was fun and I flew them all the time with little cox engines or a Norvel 15 powered one with a wing made of 2 mill coroplast SPAD style. My biggest was the wing from my first Ugly Stick when the fuse wore out. Ran a throttled os 40fp for power. On a still day I could throttle up, take it high, throttle down and let it come back and change altitude. It was a flying oddity. When I started flying Norvels for 1/2A I no longer needed the 25% fuel for the Cox engines, And I put the things up for memories sake. Winning flight from the RCOnline challenge th-cam.com/video/bJEoYNE2zN8/w-d-xo.html
@@williamcrane8236 Still easier to use two identical engines/ propulsion system at each tip (rockets, jet or propeller engines, compressed air nozzles etc.) .... allowing more power, redundancy, perfect counterweight and no need for a tail rotor. Good examples: every tip jet helicopters: Saunders helicogyre, the WNF342 V4, the McDonnell XV-1 and my favorite, the Fairey rotodynes.
Huh?
@@carpediemarts705 ?huH
I think you should make a dual prop one with 2 grinders. So that you can make the weight distribution better. Plus more battery.
You could try separating the battery from the tool, and run some wire between them to space out those two heavy parts. That might help adjust the CG to be more balanced.
Yeeeeees, finally another power toool!!!! More More more 🔥🔥🔥
Didn't know you would get sparks when cutting through a hotdog. You learn something new everyday.
Yo 100% shocked how successful that was
That's pretty cool, especially for the first flight!! I thought for sure that it would crash the first time, considering the weird rear wing!
The most savest thing you have ever done tbh 👍
Great video as always :D
I really love that you now have your brother on your channel. You 2 make a great team.
Please consider a dremel tool powered 8 engine bomber as your next build.
Yes a dremel tool seem a much better geometry for a plane, but the very low torque high rev motor still should represent a exiting challenge.
Put 2 angle grinders on a plane frame, with propeller sets for each tool.
Or
Battery a operated router, putting in a reducer gear that slows down the amount of startup torque initially generated. Hopefully that would take enough stress off of the airframe before the launch.
Man, that thing worked like a charm lol
