- SAD FACE Those awesome "Will it Blend?" videos are BS. I'll show you why.
In the follow up to the teardown we re-assemble and test the blendtec. It is rated at 3hp; it puts out 1.7hp MAX. It's rated for 28,000 RPM, but it only spins at 18,500.

Blending those gold bearing rocks you are well on your way to fame, and fortune. That blender should pay for itself in less than 550 years. Then it is pure profit after that.

I had a couple messages that I should check out your new vid, so I shut down the K&T for a minute and I'll be damned! Thanks for the plug man! I was wondering why I got the surge in subs today! :P
You had me cracking up blending up those rocks. Thanks for keeping it real!

+Abom79 alright, who told you who sent us? :)

Dude your channel is great. You're how I found AvE.

Promotion often is effective from a well informed honest source. But it was totally by accident.m😎
"Pull out the thrillamascope. What for seeing what the pixie dance looks like while this thing chooches." Goddamn poetry, my man.
I absolutely love the fact that you introduce us to other cool channels during the intermission. Wish more channels did that. Two thumbs up.
Man, I just discovered your channel and was patiently awaiting part 2. Your personality is just goshdarn perfect for this kind of stuff. Your knowledge of manufacturing and machines is pretty darn entertaining too. Keep being you, and I'll keep watching.
I blended a toy train in a brand new Blendtec blender and it destroyed itself in little time. I highly suspect the amazing Blendtec 'Will It Blend' videos are total set up. There is too many edits in the blend to believe the videos.
Hey Leo! Perhaps you should blend Redbacks ;) Keep up the vids mate and a bummer about the 3d printer. Take care y'all.
They use a blender that has a much more powerful motor. You can actually buy one of the models that are designed like the one on their show, for about double the price.
I think it's because they blend phones which consist of glass, fragile plastic boards, and paper-thin bits of aluminum.
@@JaclynFox the unit they use has the same power motor, I've actually seen the room. Of course, the jars are generaly destroyed after.
@@comradegarrett1202 they blended a wood rake handle.
Big fan of abom79... as an engineer (Iworked through in-state college so came out with only 15K in debt) who also has some machine shop and field experience, I learned and continue to learn a ton from the guys who turn wrenches and grind metal every day. Both perspectives are valuable and when you can set your ego aside is when the real magic happens. I have a lot of small teams that I work with, and bringing together skilled laborers with creative engineers and designers, then creating the culture for them to collaborate and be greater than their parts is a beautiful thing.
Technically it's not their fault if you can only pull 1,300 watts out of your mains.
Technically it was Thomas Edison's fault for choosing 120V. (DC at the time, but people like to stick to magic numbers.)
Arent Blendtec supposed to be for commercial applications anyways? At least their big bois.
You could probably get the quoted performance on three phase 240v
@@Greyboy666 yeah, that's what I'm thinking
linagee hay Edison opted for 120 volts the uk opted for 250 volts ( now 240 volts) which is superior since you can pull 3.1 kw out of a uk outlet (13 amp a 15 amp uk out let will handle 3.6 kw ) you can do twice the work with the same amount of current but hay one electrical systems are established you can’t really change it.
@@Greyboy666 can you run a 1 phase motor on a 3 phase power line?
I've been watching your videos for a while, they really crack me up. Thanks for everything you do. I had to comment on this one, they really do go overboard on some of the marketing but at the end of the day like you said in the video if you ignore the price, it really is a good blender. I'm one of those people that starts my day with a smoothie 5 days a week and i was tired of destroying a $30 blender every 2-3 months. So i splurged and got one of these and it worked for about 10 months then the brushes went wonky. i think it overheated and it did not sense it quick enough. the customer service was fantastic. they had a new blender in the mail to me within a few days along with a new jar. no questions asked. Theoretically they'll keep replacing it for the next 8 years whenever it goes bad. Assuming the customer service keeps up, I'm ahead of buying the $30 blenders by a bit. and more importantly, it actually makes a smoothie with very little frustration.
just a quick note, i think the "soup" mode spins faster than the normal fast speed. you may want to measure that. but i doubt it's 10,000rpm more.
i'd not heard of Abom's channel before, thanks for letting us know!
Rinoa Super-Genius hey it’s you!
I agree with you, ABOM79 is a third generation machinist and he knows the trade very well for as young as he is. He's had some great mentors & his cousin Alex is a gifted auto technician as well .
as mentioned before, 120V is RMS.
15 Amps at ~ 170Vpeak is ~2545 Watts peak.
2545 Watts peak is ~3.4 Horsepower peak.
They "round up" 18,500...to 28,000.
The 8 and the zeros match up, eeeeh close enough :-)
Maybe one of their engineers rated everything to 28,000, but then a safety engineer rounded that down to 18,000 for them?
im watching a guy blend rock. The fuck am I doing
Loving it tho

God damn the bottle in the background labeled "NOT BOOZE" at 5:50 really got me!
Lifetime GPAA member. I still remember watching gold prospecting episodes of old Buzzard Massie with my dad. I miss running a sluice box up on Meriposa. Every time we headed that way we stopped at the Mining Museum and looked at the Fricot nugget. Good times.
14:00 - I gotta pull you up on this one, just a little bit.
You're mostly correct, but a big difference happens when you successfully run your own show:
Machining job shop - Do machining job once, get paid once. If you're as good as Abom79, you ought to do damn well for yourself.
Engineering shop - Design once, get paid every time the product sells. If you did good enough, you never have to get out of bed before 10am EVER AGAIN.
The latter one, yeah, it doesn't always go like that, but sometimes it certainly does. If you're in doubt about any of your god-like qualities, you may indeed be best to choose the trade.
On the average - Listen to AvE, kids, he's right.
Abom79 is awesome. He posted the other day when you were giving out t-shirts. Yup, my comment didn't pass mustard so I wasn't picked to be one of the few and the brave. ;) Keep it up!
nice Abom79 shout out. I've spent days worth of time watching his videos. keep up the good work AvE
In my early days I worked in a spray metal manufacturing company in Marlboro NJ .. I learned some welding there as well. I made powder batches in the morning, and welded catalytic converters in the afternoons. Fun times .
Put magnets on both blades, for balance, and divide your results by two. It takes a lot of torque to overcome side-thrust forces from an out-of-balance shaft, and this lowers RPM significantly.
I thought this was your wife's blender

Confirm isn't the 120v out of the wall already the rms voltage? peak voltage 170something no?
yup, 120 is already the RMS average so root mean squaring that again is incorrect. 120x15 is 1800 watts "max" however typical household breakers have MUCH higher instantaneous trip ratings, the stated number on the breaker is the typical thermal trip after some time of that current draw. You can draw 16 or 17 amps from a 15 amp breaker for a good few minutes before it trips. it's entirely possible and I've seen it myself to pull a full 2500w+ (the quoted "peak" power of this thing) for a good 500 milliseconds to a few good seconds without tripping household 15a breakers. a device can certainly put out 3hp from a wall socket for a few AC cycles no problem, and manufacturers can legitimately call that a "peak" rating, no matter that it only lasts for a few milliseconds
+frollard we have 240V and 20A breakers ... so maybe they're advertising the max power on european outlets?
And a lot of places even have a 3 phase 480V with a 120A breaker ... so much power
+Lunas Eclipse there are literally thousands of breaker types and sizes available, but we're talking about standard nema 5-15 or 5-20 appliance sockets you find in all homes, and breakering these with anything higher than 20a is illegal as per the NEC, at least in the states
Sometimes "peak" power can be stated as an instant peak during the peak of the sinuoidal input (not a peak of any single cycle averaged!). Claims like that increase the "peak power" a lot. Do that for an inrush current and you have huge number to print as a marketing value.
+Jon Sands Yep, if you look into the specs for circuit breakers you'll find datasheets with current vs time graphs showing how quickly it'll break the circuit at any given current draw, for most household breakers, those relatively slow blows are pretty normal. They can start acting up if they get old, though.
Also, fuses tend to blow much faster (unless you're using slow blow fuses), so you might want to be more careful with high draw devices in older houses (if that wasn't obvious already) or you might be replacing a lot of fuses.
when I have a migraine, nothing improves my day more than watching a long video of you talking about stuff I have no clue about. thanks bud!
Adam @ Abom79 is an awesome machinist and teacher 12:50 (So are you!) . I appreciate the shout out to him in your video here, I've learned a lot from his and your videos. Thanks for all you do!
I'll have to watch Yukon Gold next week to see if Blendtec becomes a sponsor.
they're minerals MARIE!
I bought this machine this morning before watching. How interesting and fun is your video! Thanks a lot...I really enjoyed it. Can't wait to see what else you tear apart and explain.
I filmed the iPhone 5 "Will it Blend" video on my RED Camera a few years ago, and nothing was faked.
i think a big part of the difference is that you slam packed the damn thing with rocks. which especially when it hasnt had a chance to spin up is a heavy task. the advert will drop in a phone, but when its already choochin full bore. question is, do you have the balls to drop in a chunk of quartz while its already choochin
i didn't quite understand. did he say blendtec is worth it $400?
"Might as well double up on the condoms"... and there went my mouthful of coffee goodness. Feck.
Hey Chris,
Great video man, very good PSA message for the up and coming techs, some young adults belong in a shop and not in school racking up years of debt!
Regards,

+Ray Caniglia Now we just need to get teachers to stop pushing all the stupid kids into the shops and get more smart ones in there, then things will really pick up!
+Teth47 We have got that problem in our public school system. It is why my instructor retired shortly after I graduated. The guys with brains going to vocational schools are refereed to as votards who will never make it. It's a real shame. Oh well the guys going to trades shortly after are making more than the teachers who put them down.
terryeffinp Yeah, but the problem is that I don't want sipshits building the shit I have to use every day...
Neither do I.
+terryeffinp Totally. Here in Switzerland, they have a huge array of vocational apprenticeships that lead to excellent paying jobs in precision manufacturing for example. The key difference is that here, that's not looked down upon, it's absolutely respectable. And indeed, it's become one of this country's strengths.
I'd be interested in the same dissection for a Vitamix blender. It's surprising & impressive that the polycarbonate held up to this use/abuse.
Thanks for the tip on abom79's channel, good stuff.
"Industrial hairdryer."
This guy is AvEsome!
In the UK our wall sockets are 30amp at 240v... 7.2KW ! And for AVE, our supplies to home have a main breaker of 100amp. Tools and cables are super light and super powerful.
Yea, it stings a bit when you put your tongue on it, but that just teaches you not to touch it. Worth it since you can use a plasma cutting machine from any home outlet.
still couldn't have a decent electric stove
Electric stoves are hardwired, not plugged in.
nope
hmmm.. I think you'll find you have 240v at 13amps, Unless you have big industrial sockets and breakers. you get away with running a 15amp fuse in a welder but shouldn't..
v.s.i.
You were right about the bearing going out in the container. I had two of them go bad. One was a month out of warranty and cost 70 bucks to replace. When the replacement went bad with much less use, I threw the whole thing away. I should have kept that motor though. Great vigeo
You make just about the only videos that make me flinch, good on ya!
You should've gotten the 240v version of it 😂
@@adrian69644 never understood why we run at 120v. Everything seems to run much better on 240
@@gtzgreatride it was supposed to be safer.
@@REDSIX With the USA-Plugs people would be killed daily if they switched to 240
@@adrian69644 It has to do with WW2, when Europe was rebuilding all their houses after the war, they didn’t have too much copper for wiring, so it was expensive.
So to keep the costs down, they went with a higher voltage to keep the wires smaller.
US electrical is actually 240v but its split in two among the outlets, so 120v. I suggest looking at the video made by Technology Connections about the US electrical system if you want to learn more.

Abom really is the real deal. I program and operate CNCs but obviously, seeing as I be up in these comments, I still love the manual work. In many ways I definitely feel like these guys are much more talented than I will ever be programming a silly machine.

+EclecticBuddha College educated idiots don't like the unions associated with trades. They would rather work in IT, where they are at-will employees that can be replaced by an H1b visa worker at half the price. The lack of a union gives them the freedom to work long hours for terrible pay until corporate breaks their spirit and they burn out completely. EX:The entire video game programming industry.
Unions are a terrible thing because they force your employer to pay you a good wage and fair hours, and gives you recourse when your boss tells you to do something stupid / dangerous / illegal.
It's absolutely astonishing that even the well educated American public fall for the anti-union garbage.
+Gregory Wood The best thing I ever did was become a millwright, absolutely love going to work everyday. I am still considered a young pup at work being the ripe old age of 35
This is exactly what I needed 2am. Perfect.
reken someone finally described and explained electrickery in a way I get..... bloody amazing.
One thing I would mention is that most households (at least those built or rewired in the US for the last 40 years) are wired for 20A 120v receptacles in the kitchen. Even if your have a horrible power factor during normal operation, at or near max rated load, your power factor should become very close to 1 (maybe .85-.95) since your load has very little lag. You also have to factor in over-current since a 20A breaker doesn't trip at 20A right away. Their is always an over-current time factor and for many manufactures that over-current time is usually around 30-120 seconds at double the rating. That is the very reason that you can start a 16A motor on a 20A circuit even though the startup current could be 1000% higher than the rated running current. So even on a 15A circuit you could in theory draw well over 4HP peak depending on circuit breaker brand and wire run length right before or as the motor begins to stall assuming the rest of the circuit is built to at least minimum spec.
So 3HP would probably be achievable in most regular scenarios but anyone with half a brain would not buy something strictly based on peak output power labeled on the box. That is like buying a vacuum cleaner because it is rated for 16 Amps over the other one rated for 12 Amps without looking at other things like overall design and efficiency.
Edit: One other thing to note is that your home brew power meter is hitting 15-15.1 Amps but how high has it been tested to actually go? I know most of the watt meters I have laying around only go to 1500-1600 watts and I own only one that will go to 1799 watts. If you are able to feed that blender an input of 20-30 Amps and measure it you might see an even higher power draw unless you were already on a 20-30Amp circuit. Either way 1300 VA is pretty impressive.
They could put 220VAC sockets in the kitchen, just so people could use their blendtecs, lol. (Or if you have an electric stove, you could use that socket if it's not hard wired!)
Now do the same with a vitamix blender, that's what I have its also made in the US.
Made in Ohio, just like the KitchenAid mixer.
When you started figuring out max horse power out of the wall you just made me feel so good I can't even explain it
Another hilarious and entertaining offering from everyone's favourite sadistic engineer....Awesome vid mate !!

4:01 don't blend it look at how happy it is
"Crush some gold or..."
"Or???"
"Or something else."
In the U.S., the normal kitchen circuit uses #12 wire and is rated for a 20 Amp service.
I've had a Blendtec for a few years now. It may not be able to handle too much rock crushing, but it can turn ice cubes into snow, and you can cook soup in it if you run it through a couple passes of the soup setting----depending on the soup, it can get up to around 160F. It's definitely handy if you do a lot of cooking. Great video as per usual.
@AvE tell me more about laser flashing quartz to determine gold content, please! +AvE
AvE - Loved the hat-tip for Adam. We all love his channel and work. And he's a great guy in person too. Your stuff is pretty damn interesting too man. Really digging the vids ;)
i was 15 and started a UK engineering craft apprenticeship (the lowest of the low). Promoted a few times and retired at 47. AvE is spot on - I was a tad lucky though, or was I.
Amen to what you said in the intermission. I was thinking of going to uni but as I became more of a realist, I stopped focusing on uni because I knew I wasn't getting in due to my Advanced Levels (although I did have a reply from my 3 chosen unis, 2 conditional offers, 1 interview pending) and now I'm in the process of becoming an apprentice with General Electrics' Aeronautical engineering division, I have applied to be a toolmaker apprentice with Tata Steel and I have applied for multiple welding and fabrication apprenticeships with XR Training, all of which are in or near the Glamorgan Vale in Wales.
Hey Ave,
Don't trust that cos phi measurement on your selfbuild measuring instrument.
Cos phi only works on sine waves. Volts and amps are clearly different from sine. So you need an instrument which is able to measure the power factor PF (also called lambda).
Electrical engineer here.
I like your videos! Greetings from Germany.
+AvE man, you are fast!
Unfortuneatly I don't have an instrument to spare. ;) But I recommend to read up on that topic because if the cos phi is wrong, the watts are also wrong. It's because of so called the "deformed power" which is not measured correctly.
Pretty sure it measures the power coming in before it gets to the blender, where the waveforms are distorted before going to the brushes.
Could be wrong.
In the good parts of the world, with 230-250v we could easily get 3HP.
you can get 3 horsepower on 120 volts too if you feed it enough amps
True story about Abom. Great machinist. Been doing it fir over ten years and I learn something from every one of his vids.
It took me almost two weeks and most of my free time to watch every single videos of your channel. Now I understood all the choo-choo and doublidoo things, I havé one thing to say : where were you when I was to understand all of this in high-school twenty years ago ??? You would be a great teacher, so keep going to educate and entertain us. Thanks for all of this. And cheers from Japan.

I called blendtec about the warranty on the jar and was told that they only cover the blade and not the bearings or the container. The non replaceable bearing on the container was one of the main reasons I went with the VitaMix.
Whenever there is a hole in a plastic moulded part there will be weld/flow lines, because the material has to flow around what is creating the hole. Some plastics, like glass filled nylon, have to be dried before moulding because they absorb moisture.

I wonder if the hunting is because its operating unloaded, and the folks who wrote the speed controller software anticipated having the cushioning inertia of a load to smooth out the hunting of the speed controller?
Initially, sure. But once you're past the big chunks, call 5ish seconds, and things are starting to be chewed up into smaller chunks, I'd bet it would start to behave more like a fluid and a lot less like a collection of random solids being kicked around, which would put a steady load on the system which would make it easier for the speed controller to do its job.
You've certainly put a feather in the cap of the polycarbonate industry, if nothing else.
I really appreciate what you said during the intermission. I myself am a Robotic welder. I took a 1 year course at my local college for welding essentials, and managed to get 3 CWB certificates out of the deal. Took me a week out of college to find temp work, before getting a full time job a month later. Im Debt free, easily clearing 60k a year and get dirty every day. Wouldn't change it for the world. Beats a desk job any freaking day. Cheers! keep your lips in the slice!
I've seen this on a slightly larger scale when I worked at a silver mill. They had two 200 ton ball mills which were lined with nihard steel plates and steel balls about the size of a five pin bowling ball. A large electric motor turned them and they worked like a damn. I had two pieces of ball mill liner in the back of my pickmup about three square feet total and that was enough weight to keep the ass end on the snow in winter.
I wish the FTC would tell them to stop with the bs hp ratings.
AvEEEEE! You should make a Glossary "vejeo" where you explain what all of your goofy terminology actually means haha.
Chookum
He's got a wiki dedicated to his terminology.
There is a google doc somewhere with all the terminology
That would take all the fun out of it lol
Or you could get work in a trade
AvE Haha, I was waiting for you to do "Will it Blend" Videos for all my life. :D
Love it! I don't get half the math, but I do understand most of the rest. Your commentary about the trades is spot on. I was pushed "College Bound" and never did well with it. Not my thing. If I'd been introduced to the trades, I'm sure I'd have found one that fit. I find them fun and challenging as I dabble in them in my retirement. Thank you for all your posts. I am still learning.
Do I understand something worng? With my understanding it is: 120 Volts times 15 Amps = 1800 Watts = 1.8 KW to convert that i have to multiply it by 1.34102209 and thats roughly 2.41 HP? Am i right?
+AvE Oh sorry, I didnt thing of that xD
+megaspeed2v2 There's that theoretical max as you say but this blender wasn't using it all. The power factor was .35 to .75. So for the blender to reach that output it would trip the breaker.
megaspeed2v2 Dude relax. He just pulled the number out quick without a calculator, mistakes happen. He also said your right but he wants to know of a kitchen device that would have a good power factor. Yea he has his sarcastic way of saying it but its how he is.I've gotten a sarcastic reply from him before, no biggie.
+AvE They never said 3HP out. Just 3HP peak. Technically possible. (In fact, I have seen these blenders pull well over 20Amps, even on a 15 amp breaker. Breakers are thermal devices, and so take time to heat up and trip. You can actually find derating curves for them that tell you how long they can run at certain currents before they trip.)
+AvE In addition, aren't most kitchens wired for 20A these days? I know ours is wired for 240V@20A with receptacles alternating on which of the two phases they are connected to. (In effect, two 120V circuits with a shared neutral and ground, there are no 240V receptacles on the circuit)
In addition, I have noticed that our shop vac, which is labeled as 5 peak hp (total bs) actually does have more power when connected to the 30A circuit for my welder vs. the regular 15A circuit in the garage. I have checked that the voltages are identical (why wouldn't they be), so my theory is that when the motor is pulling lots of current then the resistance of the household wiring actually becomes significant, and the beefier wiring on the 30A circuit causes the difference.
You might make more money in the trades (initially per year but not over 30 years), but your body will also pay a very physical price. I became an engineer because I don't want to be laying in a ditch welding pipe at the age of 40.
Love your channel though, I always take your advice about the stools with the tools.
Benjamin Ringrose I'm in school to become a welder and I've thought about this. I love welding but probably won't want to be doing it 8+ hours a day when I'm a man of a certain age. I hope to continue my education in something like an engi degree... eventually.
I work in a chemical factory, never ever lift heavy, don't do ladders over 6 feet, always wear safety equipment. I think i'm good.
Whelan that's what apprentices are for 😉

you guys must have shitty kettles. UK 240V 13A gives us 3.1KW :)
Electric kettles certainly aren't popular in the US. We mostly either have non-electric kettles for the stove top or give up and stick the mug of water into the microwave for a couple minutes.
How weird. I couldn't imagine living without an electric kettle.
Simply Electronics Most Americans prefer coffee over tea anyway. Pretty much everybody has a coffee maker.
nobody i know has a coffee maker, and everyone has a kettle. never thought of heating up water in the microwave, that sounds like a good contingency plan if the kettle dies. we also have 40A fuses in many auxiliaries on our electrical boxes, which can be fun.
Mikail Elchanovanich Most power strips I know of are rated for between 10 and 13 amps at 240 volts, so that's something one socket is supposed to handle without issue.
I don't know what my fuses are rated at here in Australia, but I remember I had a tiny studio apartment in the UK and it had 5 circuits. XD
Among them the lighting circuit (and this place had only 4 light fixtures), rated at 15 amps, 3 standard power circuits (maybe 20 sockets at most, probably only 10), each rated at 31 amps, though I believe one may have been the boiler, and for good measure a circuit for an electric stove and oven rated at 63 amps.
Thinking back on it that seems a little crazy for such a tiny flat.
I mean, yes it was all electric including the stove, oven hot water, and any heating would have to be electric too, but that's still a hell of a lot of power...
That tiny (about 80 square meters total) flat had 171 amps available at 240 volts. - 41 kilowatts, for a tiny studio flat designed for one person!
Talk about overkill! XD

Thats where he starts blending it.
ThePowerOfSAM This is what i came for. Will it blend? no
Animated Duck I want to know what effort goes into my smoothie.
Blendtec vs Quartz has some of the best fight choreography and filming I've seen all year!
Would love to see a Vitamix blender teardown for comparison, it's the 'other' brand we see, in the UK anyway, that competes with Blendtec.

20:40 why was that blurred?
probably his name written on the meter or something.
The cycles are programmed for efficiency per typical blended ingredients and do not need to reach peak power. The pulse button, which appears to not have been used in this test, is actually the only button here that allows access to the full power of the motor.
Thanks! It's the best time I've had all week! Great job.

no no no....you only saw part of the wording....it reads "not cooze"
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the education and entertainment. Keep up the good work.
props on highlighting others man, not like i have time to enjoy them, im still catching up on your stuff. you caught my attention with the circuit boards and what not. sick of throwing out my gear due to a failure on a magic green card.
