This is awesome. I’ve been following since the beginning. We’d love to see the street legal “go cart” at Cars and Coffee in Wichita. Next Saturday is the first event of the year.
That would make a neat video. I guess it would have to be shot in between tear downs, ha.
I have also followed since the beginning. What are some details of Cars and Coffee in Wichita. Do they have
other car you tubers there?
Search "cars and coffee Wichita" on Facebook. I think its always the 3rd Saturday at The Alley. Many of the Wichita TH-camrs are there, depending on schedules.
@@ColinSherraden Thank you so much for this information.. I hope Jimbo of Robot Cantina can see this
and go from there. I do appreciate this.
That would be really cool
Any plans to try the new 459cc Predator?
It has an oil pump! Oil cooler anyone? Maybe a turbo? :D
Never mind, I see one in the background 👀

Very cool! We designed small engine dynos my 2nd year of Mechanical Engineering classes. Our group used a recirculating hydraulic pump and motor setup to eliminate brake pad wear. We varied flow restriction and measured the hydraulic pressure to determine power.
Good for you on studying mechanical engineering. There is such a wide range of topics for that pursuit. I wonder how you were
able to vary flow restriction? This Robot Cantina has the imagination to carry on a wide variety of testing.. I can't wait to
see the next one.. How did you manage to measure the hydraulic pressure, if I may ask??🧐🧐🤓
A few years ago I built a much larger hydraulic dyno (google B3 dyno) Unfortunately when I was finished with it I sold it . I think I will look into building another. The little Prony dyno I show in this video works but is only good for little engines.
@@kansasrose2909 KANSAS..Yes Robot Cantina has the imagination
I can't wait to see more of this..
@@robotcantina8957 Do you have a detailed build video for this dyno and the software? Cant find anything even remotely similar or useful for a diy prony dyno on google.
@@jonpippen6998 A video and plans for the for the small engine dyno will be a great contribution to your to
Thanks, I was wondering how your dyno worked, good stuff 👍. Years ago when I was teaching small engines I rigged up an electric dyno using ammeters, voltmetes, and oven elements for resistance. I'm sure it wasn't very accurate but it gave the students some idea as to the changes in horsepower with different modes. This was before computers, and I didn't have your level of ingenuity. 👍
The data on the dyno is really well done. I have to hand it to Robot Cantina. The charts and graphs are well done indeed.
The level of ingenuity in Jimbo is phenomenal. I have been watching this since the first videos and it really should be
shown in schools.. This would really be more practical than some stuff in the curriculum now days.
Who doesnt want a go - cart like that?
@@kansasrose2909 I agree!
@@dangerousdave5915 Dangerous. Do you like using computers for car data?
@@kansasrose2909 Yes I do, but not like Jimbo. I use OBDII scanner for my cars. Keeps me from getting ripped off if I have to take it in to get fixed. I at least know what the codes mean and I can usually fix it myself if it isn't too complicated.
@@dangerousdave5915 Dangerous. Complicated?? I am not sure you would find much to be complicated
Very cool dyno explanation. I can't wait to see what kind of "vehicle" the 212 ends up in!

It's interesting how you optimized the layout of the video to reach as many people as possible by putting the results at the beginning and the more "tech" stuff at the end for those really interested. Great video I love your content! :)
I believe the audience should always watch to the very end. There are always some surprises worth waiting for.
So happy to have Jimbo of Robot Cantina in residence here in Kansas.
@@kansasrose2909 Kansas, when you say surprises do you mean those little gnomes??🧸🧸
@@kansasrose2909 Kansas.. I would like to see a little more tech stuff.. Does he show that at the end??
I've been jetting single cylinder, 4 stroke dirtbikes in the 250-650cc range quite some time. In my experience event a small de-restriction of the exhaust system requires a re-jetting to become efficient. So your assumption seems valid.
WOW puts a new spin on "Mad Scientist Laboratory" great share - looking forward to the next reveal.
Glad your back! I've watched from the beginning. Thks!

Great explanation! I knew the theory behind how a dyno works, but it's another thing to see a practical implementation with a thorough explanation of how all the parts work together. Fascinating!
This channel is sooo great. I had the idea to make a small engine dyno like that a while back but I figured I was missing a detail that I couldn't reproduce at home. Turns out, its just like I thought, though you did it way more professionally than I would have
You are an absolute GENIUS. I enjoy your videos so much. The editing, the content, the music. They are a real pleasure to watch. I subscribed recently when I saw one of the Saturn S Series videos. I cannot believe you don't have more subscribers!

Great stuff! Just found your channel by accident. Loved the supercharged 459 story. Your garage is pretty much a power lab - impressive. Perhaps you could turn your attention to running these conversions on alternative fuels as these are around the corner for sure. When I 1st started @ work we were researching H2 storage (early 80's). We had a small side valve engine running on H2 (bottle) driving car alternator & battery, just to demo the idea of H2 as a fuel. Mistake.The chairman came round to see what we were up to. Hot summer day - 3 or 4 test starts (to be sure) - no problem....... Failed to start when required after much pulling on the starter cord by sweaty technician. It had got hot from tests & ambient temp and the mixture in the propane jetted carbide (already lean for H2) just wouldn't fire in hot carb-engine. He left immediately but as he got to the corner of the main building the H2 collecting in the exhaust ducting outside the lab fired & blew the lot into the carpark....they shut us down the following year & we moved onto batteries & EVs - too early in that too! Keep doing crazy stuff please.
So glad you’re back!!!

very cool little dyno you whipped up. decades ago a buddy built a Datsun 1200 fastback on a diet (all dumb weight possible was removed), the A-12 engine replaced with a built A-15. very quick little beast when it was done, I don't know how it'd compare to the Honda you're playing with regarding weight, both are unibody tuna cans.
Wow this is a great entry.. I learn so much from comments into this channel.. I get what you mean by all dumb weight was removed
I bet that was quick . Yes --- unibody tuna cans.. In the present environment this could be looked at for efficiency also.
Great concept thanks for that entry. 🚗🚗🚘🚘🚙🛻🛻🚜🚗
@@kansasrose2909 it was another "had to be there" to appreciate things we tinkered up. Russian River area Sonoma County coastal range roads all narrow+twisted, the focus was acceleration and handling not top speed.

Flywheel fans don't work without a shroud and engine housing to direct the flow of air around the fins. Without the housing, the fan is useless and would make it the engine work harder to move air.

@@mommapanda5736 Momma that was my only complaint.. now I'll have to find other criticism 😜
The got a 224cc max performance and 212 ghost that you can get now lol not to mention the 301 and 420, and the 670 vtwin if you wanna get crazy 😂
Thanks for the video Jimbo, was nice to see the dyno in more details.
Do you think a combo "big brushless motor, 3-phase bridge rectifier and a couple of big resistor" could also give a good value, if we have the efficiency of all components?
Hi Ben,
I'm not sure you could rely on efficiency numbers to determine the actual load, The best you could hope for is an educated guess. In episode 24 we show our other dyno, and its just a Cadillac alternator. We pull 100 amps at 12V DC and dump it into a resistor load bank. In theory our electric dyno only absorbs 2 hp, however in reality it absorbs quite a bit more. Generally, whatever is used for a power absorber unit has to be mounted in a way that the torque it absorbs can be measured with a strain gauge.
Jimbo succeeds where most others fail, he makes learning fun
Yes, I agree here.. I think these kind of films should be shown in schools. I would prefer kids to learn something
practical and worthwhile instead of some of the stuff nowadays. The curriculum could stand with some tweeking.
This is didactic without being too technical.. Who doesn't want a go cart like this?? 🤗🤗
@@kansasrose2909 I agree these videos should be shown in schools. The curriculum now a days
needs something like this.. What do you mean by didactic??😘😘
@@kansasrose2909 Kansas.. I would like a go - cart like this🚗🚗 Do you have enough didactic learning
to have a PhD. 😇??
So wonderful! Thank you with all of my heart, and since your work is of such good quality, the metric crowd forgives you. Just this time though;).
Be well.
Alicia from Sweden.
Greetings to our friend in Sweden Yes Robot Cantina has good quality work.. The schools here would do well to
have some of this in their curriculum.. We need to brush up on our metric. Thank you so much for your kind words. 💝💖
Thank you very much!
@@kansasrose2909 Kansas, Did you study the metric system in school??📋📋
Hey Jimbo! Could you put a gear reduction between the engine and the drive pulley on your CVT instead of playing with weights? Like a 2:1 jackshaft driving the CVT to allow the engine to rev closer to 4000 before it engages
I hope you compound a turbo and a twin screw somewhere down the road. The twin screw effectively bumps your displacement up so you can actually spin a small turbo and get some efficient work out of it
This comment is so important in the present energy environment. We all need efficient work out of every vehicle.
@@kansasrose2909 meh, nuke for everything and then we can make synthetic fuels without as much concern for emissions. Or better yet, Vulcanol (look it up if you're not familiar with it)
@@kansasrose2909 Kansas,, Yes efficiency is what we need.. We need to lighten the load ...
@@mommapanda5736 Momma, Don't even talk about the price of gas⛽⛽⛽!!
Awesome! I've wanted to see this.
I am sure Robot Cantina has some more great videos lined up.... I would watch this channel every day of
the week and twice on Sundays.
@@kansasrose2909 Same here.
Have some more pressure, subscribed. :D
Great stuff! Yep those Amazon carbs and intakes are cheap and it shows. My VM22 had a pilot jet big enough to drive a semi truck thru!
The cheaper the better I say.. Thank you for that comment.. In the current environment with gas prices the way they are
we need to go cheap.. Go cheap or go home I say.. YES this channel is Great stuff!! Many viewers favor the content and
subscribe
@@kansasrose2909 Yep I know what you mean. I've been subscribed to Robot Cantina since the beginning.
@@kansasrose2909 Don't even mention the price of gas!😜
@@mommapanda5736 Momma Price of gas??⛽⛽⛽⛽ woo boy!!
You handle pressure extremely well Jimbo. 😄
Yes this is very thoughtful.. We know that the pressure of gas is directly proportional to its temperature.
Gas is so important to this channel
I try
@@kansasrose2909 Kansas, I just started watching this channel. It does seem educational
@@kansasrose2909 Kansas.. Don't even ask about the price of gas.. ⛽⛽⛽!!
One of the problems with small, high revving engines is internal friction relative to rpm. If you have 20 units of internal friction at 2000rpm, you will have 80 units of friction at 4000rpm. Yes, high rpm makes more power for any given size engine, but the price is fuel efficiency decreases as the parasitic drag of internal friction jumps dramatically. Rolls Royce figured this out in the 1930's building the aircraft racing engines along other cool things, like smaller piston bores are more prone to detonation than larger bores. By the 1940's companies like Curtiss Wright, Pratt and Whitney had extremely precises math on the energy losses going out by every pathway from an engine.
i love that this exists!
The funny thing about the freedom units, is that back in the old days Canadian racing video games used imperial units instead of metrics because they only made one version for both USA and Canada. So I am more used to horsepower than kilowatt as engine power measure.
The term horsepower is also metric, theres very little difference between the two.
@@mikescudder4621 I am going to refer to wikipedia:
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement of power, or the rate at which work is done, usually in reference to the output of engines or motors. There are many different standards and types of horsepower. Two common definitions used today are the mechanical horsepower (or imperial horsepower), which is about 745.7 watts and the metric horsepower, which is approximately 735.5 watts.
Keyword here is imperal horsepower.
Same thing for watt
The watt (symbol: W) is a unit of power or radiant flux. In the International System of Units (SI), it is defined as a derived unit of (in SI base units)[1][2] 1 kg⋅m2⋅s−3 or, equivalently,[3] 1 joule per second. It is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. The watt is named after James Watt (1736-1819), an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
The SI is the metric system that I am referring to. That watt is SI the horsepower is not.[Edit] put both in same comment
@@Hailtothebreak The keyword is metric HP. You thought that the metric equivalent of HP was Kilowatt, which is understandable. I'm just pointing out that HP is both a metric and imperial unit.
@@mikescudder4621 I completely miss read your comment and I look like a fool lol. Yes you are correct the term horse power do refer to both HP and PS and yes there is almost no difference. I understood the unit horespower PS has little to no difference to KW when reading your comment hence the confusion. I owe you an apology. Comments when half asleep is a bad idea.
[Edit] One thing however the metric equivalent of HP is Kilowatt. The SI one at least. Australia uses KW for engines and metric horsepower is not officially SI (ie not officially a metric measurement).
@@Hailtothebreak No worries mate, it happens to all of us.
I knew the Gnomes would find you!!!
Yes to this comment.. Those little Gnomes pop their heads up around Robot Cantina often. What gave you the
idea they would find him in Kansas? Do you like the technical stuff on this channel also?🚗🚘🚙🛻🚗📽📽
@@kansasrose2909 oh 100% watch for the tech stuff! Remember last week at end of video or was hinted about the gnomes.
@@kansasrose2909 Kansas.. Do you have gnomes in your garden?. I found and emoji that looks like gnomes🧙♂️🧙♂️🧙♂️🧙♂️
@@mommapanda5736 Momma, What do gnomes have to do with a garage??
The gnomes are cute. Some of this goes over my head, but I really like the delivery. Keep up the good work!
I have a similar feeling about the gnomes.. They seem to pop up frequently . Some of this goes over my
head also. Robot Cantina has a sense of humor also.. What else would you like to see on the videos?
Momma, It looks like you are conversing with yourself?
@@mommapanda5736 Mama, I do that myself sometimes. 😂😂
Sometimes I answer myself and we both laugh and laugh 🥰🥰🥰
@@ocdman202 Here are some colleges to consider.
How do you adjust slip between the torque arm and engine shaft?
