    A plane requires air flow over the wings to generate lift. Visit a small airport during a storm and if a small Cessna isn’t tied down you’ll see them float. Speed under the wheels has nothing to do with lift.

      This! 👍🏼 it’s about airspeed, not groundspeed.

      Yep might have double the wheels rpm but still the same airspeed

      Lift is generated from air flow against the lower surface of the aircraft wings. The airflow over AND under the wings creates a vortex which is controlled by flaps. This gives you altitude control. Stick your hand out the window of your car, like most people do as a kid. Keep your palm flat, and you can roughly feel the forces against you hand.

    • @dbutcher84
      @dbutcher84 2 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Exactly, the plane needs to "ride" on air. No moving air, no lift. It's speed of air across the wings, not speed in relation to the ground that creates lift.

    I had the steering rack on my 2006 Tundra replaced by a shop I like and trust. 6 months later I was underneath changing the oil and filter and found the mechanic's Snap-On magnetic rechargeable flashlight still stuck to the frame. This is after 5000 miles of driving, hunting, camping etc. I returned it and he was pretty happy. These tools mean a lot to these guys.

      @mcatech05 - Even worse, I’ve had a CEO of a VERY big company ask me just as we became airborne in a glider if we have any control over these things. Another was when flying a group from MENSA (IQ in excess of 120 reqd. to join) again in a glider, one member asked what would happen if the wind stopped. I looked out and said that the wind had stopped. This did not compute. The rest of the flight his massive IQ could not work out how and why we were still alive because being so clever, he had to be correct.

    Mythbusters did an episode on the airplane conveyor belt debate so there is video proof that land speed has no effect on whether or not planes fly. It's all about the air speed over the wings to generate lift. That's also why smaller aircraft need to be tethered to the ground when they're parked outside to prevent wind gusts from throwing them into the air.

    I'd offer the tools to the customer. This does a few things. First, it makes the customer feel like you're honest, especially if they are the ones that left them there. Second, it gives them the chance to decide if they want to return it to the previous mechanic, as they know where/who worked on it. Third, it shows a level of competence that you found that and that the previous guy was a bit careless.

    If you let your rechargeable lithium based batteries get too low, gotta dig out a cheap adjustable power supply, give em a little bit of power until their voltages start to rise up a volt or couple, then stuff it in the charger. Typically a pack that doesn't want to charge is either too cold or discharged too low and the internal BMS has attempted to disable rapid charging function but will allow a little trickle action (do not leave unattended while attempting this!)

    They tested this on Myth Busters. An aircrafts ability to takeoff is not dependent on it's wheels but on the thrust of it's engines and the lift generated by it's wings. Interesting episode though just like all of Rainman Ray videos.

    • @GrayRaceCat
      @GrayRaceCat ปีที่แล้ว

      I remember that episode. The prop provided enough airflow past the wings to provide lift. That would not be the case with a commercial jet though, as the engines draw air from the front of the wings and discharge it behind the wings.

Unless the conveyor belt has infinite speed it will top out and the plane will then move forward and create its own airspeed. This will then allow it to lift. This will be true whether the propulsion is propeller (as tested) or turbofan (such as a 747 has).

    Ridgid is made by the same company that makes Milwaukee, (TTI) they just market them to consumers, but in many cases, Ridgid has actually beaten their competition. The Ridgid high torque Octane impact wrenches actually beat all competition in its class for a short time and then they discontinued that line because their big brother, Milwaukee probably got jealous. BTW, if you have the correct power source, a buck/boost converter or a bench power supply, you can bring those batteries back to life, but you have to know how to do it so bad things don't happen. I've brought back many batteries from the dead. If they are defective, it obviously won't work though. Anyway, anyone who says Ridgid is crap is full of it! *Edit:* Ridgid power tools have a lifetime warranty if you register them correctly.

    Your battery charger: You need to bang some electrons in it, to get it to a realistic voltage for the proper one to 'see' it. Anything will do, say 0.5A-1.0A at a bit higher than the max of the pack ) if 18V, then just over 20V would be fine. Take the pack off that booster, measure the voltage. If over the minimum for the pack, you should be good to go. It's all down to the BMS in the pack. It'll cut the pack out if over or under voltage.
    A bit more if you want... each cell (if LiPo) can go below 2.5V ish & the BMS will probably call it dead. If you can get each cell around 3V, it'll kick in. An 18V pack has a nominal voltage of around 18.5V, but if it drops below 12.5V, it'll probably be called dead by the BMS.
    I frequently use a 12V lead acid setting if my pack is less than 12v... it does lose a bit of capacity if left below minimum, but hey. It's an older pack.
    All lithium batteries should be left around their nominal voltage, which is around 50% ish. They'll last for a long time if stored like that. Plenty of videos here on Y/T covering the subject.

    You noted that the rechargeable batteries sometimes don't work after being discharged too low, then over the weekend they might be recovering enough voltage to kickstart the onboard circuitry. It's been noted that the circuit board of "some brands" of batteries disconnect the charge/discharge terminal if the cells go below a certain voltage. Somewhere on the web I have seen people open them and give the cells a bootstrap to kickstart the circuit to reconnect the terminal, so maybe don't throw out any failed batteries. Hope this helps if not noted by anyone already.

    Great video. BTW, regarding the battery issues. When batteries like those start wearing (shorting cells) the can start to overheat internally which increases resistance and can trigger a "bad battery" behavior / indicator. It's not uncommon to cool them down and have then accept a charge. Whenever you charge any battery, best to let them cool down first and then charge them. Remember those Batt cells heat up when being used and heat up again when working to accept a charge. Best to have a few extra batteries and let them sit (especially as they get older) maybe 15 - 30 min and then charge. Also, you can revive some old batteries by placing them in the freezer for several hours (sometimes over night) and then try to charge them. Some Batts will work better than others with this method.

    You’re 100% right about the fuel. What you get at the pumps now is trash compared to race fuel or pump fuel from many years ago. In the northern “ cold “ states from November to April it gets even worse with oxygen infused gas. Causes about a 10% reduction in power and MPG.

    I have had those kind of issues as well with batteries. And what it is is the batteries get too low and the charger just doesn't like to do it. If you have a battery that's doing that look up how to jump them. You basically take a known battery that's good and has a full charge and you jump it like a car positive positive negative to negative for a couple minutes and it gives juice to that bad battery and then when you throw it on the charger it will more than likely take the charge. I have hart tools because I'm a truck driver and I don't want expensive as power tools that could end up getting broken just rattling around in my truck. I bought a bunch of "dead" 2 amp hour and 4 amp hour batteries of theirs and out of the 10 batteries only one kept failing. The rest after they failed the initial time once I jump them they charged right the hell up. Saves you buttload of money. And the worst that can happen is you try it the battery doesn't work and it's dead dead.

    As a pilot, i can answer that airplane on a treadmill question... the wheel speed has nothing to do with air speed, the airplane will still be able to take off since its Not the wheels that propell the craft, its the jet engines/propellers, those two use the air as "traction" to accelerate to lift off speed, so it doesn't matter at which speed the wheels are going.

    • @robwill9649
      @robwill9649 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The wheels are there to help the plane move on the ground, for the plane to lift off it needs forward momentum from the engines and lift from the the wings, if the aircrafts engines are on i.e idle rather than thrust. The plane would take off from the treadmill as it would have speed and lift but only for a second or two, without forward thrust from the engines to propell it forward.

    Hi Ray! As a non USian not living in the US I can tell you that ramblings about the quality of US fuel are for the most part people who don't realize that the octane number stated in the pumps in the US is measured differently from Europe and most of the rest of the world. Europe/most of the rest of the world measures using RON (the older standard, using a completely unloaded reference engine), US averages the RON and MON numbers (MON is the newer standard which uses a slightly more realistic reference engine with some accessories like a 'nator), with minimum admissible RON and MON for each grade. US Regular/87 octane is somewhere between 91 and 93 RON, US 91 is ~95 RON, US 93/Premium is >=~97 RON (equivalent to Premium in Europe). The standard ethanol content in the US (~15% typical as of the war in Ukraine) does mean each gallon of fuel has less energy than a gallon of fuel with no alcohol, but the difference is not that big.
    The one thing I personally find appalling about US fuel (besides Mountain Fuel, although I can't comment too much as there are very few pumps above ~3500 meters a.s.l. in my country) is that Regular fuel isn't required by law to have an additive/cleaning pack (it won't save you from all the emissions equipment in cars, but it should make it last longer).
    (Yes, more minimum octanes allows more compression which is more efficient, but no country can throw the first stone in this regard)

    Hey Ray!
    What you are experiencing with your Duramax is normal for cold weather starts. I live in Michigan and my Duramax does this too. The alternator is controlled by the ecu and will not trigger after a high draw event. On cold days, turn the key to the "on" position and wait about 10 seconds. This let's the glow plugs warm, then staring z engine. After the two batteries equalize, usually a couple of minutes, the alternator will turn on.

Often cars were provided by the salvation army & thrift shops that they got as a donation.

    For those "failing" batteries, it's because the lithium pack in them has dropped below the threshold to be charged. Doesn't mean the batteries are dead, but as a precaution the MFG has to make sure a bad battery won't explode on the charger. Take your bench power supply and set the voltage to the pack voltage and limit the current to half an amp and just let it charge for 10-20 minutes. This will put enough juice in them for the charger to see a voltage higher than the lower threshold and all your packs are good to go.

    The plane on the conveyor belt thingy is very interesting from the human behaviour point of view: the description describes something physically impossible (the conveyor mechanism has a feedback loop that makes the description non-sensical), and people "patch" its behaviour in their brain by ignoring the words and using their imagination instead - in two different ways.
    In my humble opinion, there's no point talking about planes at all if that conveyor action does not add up - and that should be the answer.
    [edit] everyone who talks about planes and lift missed the point I am trying to make.

      The airflow from the engine pushes the plane forward just like if you where pushing it from behind, what happens with the wheels doesn't really matter. The conveyor belt cannot prevent the plane from going forward.

    • @radekc5325
      @radekc5325 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@MeepChangeling mythbusters allowed the plane to move, which violates the description of the conveyor behaviour: the conveyor belt is supposed to match the speed of wheels. Since speed of wheels is speed of conveyor plus speed of plane, if plane moves the description is violated. The rule is "A is governed by equation A = A+B for any B".
      At the other hand, nothing prevents the plane from moving (B > 0), so of course it will take off. The conveyor cannot stop this.
      It is the description (A=A+B) which is is nonsense.

    Hey Ray, mythbusters actually did the airplane on a convyerbelt myth years ago. thats where I'd first heard of it. they took a super long tarp and pulled it with a truck as a small plane on it tried to take off in the other direction. it took off in the exact same distance as it normally did (it could take off at like 60mph so thats what the truck was pulling the tarp at) its a cool watch since they started small with an RC plane on a treadmill, then went to full sized planes!

    At 21:32, when you're trying to get that nut to turn, if you push on the wrench counterclockwise until it is firmly tense by, let's say, 15/25 pounds, hold that with one hand while taking a medium hammer with the other and firmly tapping several times on the wrench three or four inches away from the nut, it significantly mimics an impact wrench and will break past the rust/torque bind. It also helps prevent the bolt (which may be heat/rust compromised) from breaking because of the extreme torque that may otherwise be applied while simply torquing it with muscle.
