    From time to time I like to browse the Fanshowdown@gmail.com email just to see what you guys are coming up with. Sometimes I see something I cant pass on, one look and I know I have to print it out just to see what happens. Recently a fan composed of gears caught my attention and although it didn't work I posted to my community tab. Well someone saw that post and decided he could make it work, that mans name is Kyle. Kyle put in the work and today we see if what he created really does work, and if it does can it cool a pc?

    Hey mate, as an atmospherics tech, here are some tips that might make the "fog test" better.
    You'll want a gap between the output nozzle of the fog machine, as this will allow the fog to atomise properly. This can be done quite simply by cutting approximately 10x40mm slots at the start of the tube. 4 of them should be plenty. Due to the venturi effect fog shouldn't leak out, and if it does, the slots are too big.
    You will also probably want to pulse the trigger button. A very quick tap every half a second should do the trick.

I leave the watch address at the bottom of my comment. Just add it after the youtube address. You off course have to leave the default Noctua setup to do this.

    Notice how in the smoke test the air is only really getting pulled through the middle of the fan. This actually makes sense because the outer side of the planet gear fans is essentially stationary relative to the rim it is rolling on. The clock hands are by far the fastest-moving part of the fan, which probably also helps with the RPM.

    Big props to the person who made that, despite my following criticism, I still find it amazing: but I wish it had been done without those huge armed blades on the center gear. The whole point of testing that design is to see if mini-fans rotating around the hub, instead of just blades, would make the fan draw in/out air better in any way. By adding the huge blades in the center piece it defeats the purpose of that test.

    Seeing all that smoke reminds me that many years ago in a previous life I was a sysadmin, part of my job was looking after a decently sized server room.
    Bosses decided to test our emergency response procedures by simulating a fire in the server room (it had a lot of electricity in there... so logical, I guess), using smoke generators that used peanut oil.
    They turned off the alarms in the server room, so as not to trip any automatic sprinklers, started the generators, left the server room and closed the doors.
    Nothing happened.. the room was pretty well sealed to keep the cooling systems cold air inside and dust out. Nobody outside the server room or it's little adjacent office (where I usually sat, but I was elsewhere at the time) knew that anything was happening, the fire service, warned of the test patiently waited for an alarm that never happened, as the alarms were disabled.
    Eventually the light dawned on the bosses, they opened the door, and the firies* called in (by phone) about this time I showed up. The peanut oil mist had got into every corner of the server room.
    Apparently the drill went well from that point, except I got in trouble for shouting and swearing at some people who were going to use water extinguishers on an electrical fire, and potentially on live servers. Go figure.
    That night the problems started. All the servers, switches, power supplies and UPS failed one after another.
    Peanut oil is very sticky when applied as a mist. Being a mist, and pushed around by many many fans, it coated the insides of every machine, then dust stuck to the sticky oil. The dust got in, as the server room doors were left open to clear the copious smoke.
    Every piece of equipment eventually overheated and shut down, some power supplies even shorted.
    I spent many many hours stripping and cleaning each piece of equipment. Tape back up system hardware just got trashed and replaced.
    Database admins, software engineers etc all had to be called in to fix errors due to the "sudden and unscheduled server stoppages"
    Due to the downtime much data wasn't collected, many processes had to stop. Quite a few components needed replacing.
    It was a very expensive fire drill. If only they asked the people who looked after the equipment for a bit of advice before hand

    Im happy that the designer went with the double helical gears instead of the herringbone, I believe that was key to making this work. The herringbone are soo intolerant of misalignment. The white lithium grease is perfect for this, lubricated enough to allow the gears to wear in.

    "when I'm in work" - this channel isn't your job? Do you want to turn it into your work? If so maybe push your Patreon more, and I'm not sure how much your sponsors are paying you, but make sure it's a good rate by checking against other TH-camrs - e.g. EEVBlog doesn't take sponsors, but Dave said that at around 50k subs the average sponsor would offer $3k per video in groups of 3-5 videos per contract (and that was the offered price without negotiation).
    Also if you're ok with revealing it, what is your day job?

  • @ulrichkalber9039
    @ulrichkalber9039 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    that fan would be ideal for a case-con. the noise gets the attention for sure, the intricate mechanism is sure to keep it.
    the only thing it is missing is RGB... but having no RGB is just another detail that makes it unique.
    a 20 cm version should be interesting.

  • @Kags
    @Kags 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The angled gear teeth actually quite clever. It might just look like it's stylized but if i'm not mistaken it's the only thing holding the gears centered so they don't wander and eventually fly off.

  • @jdgindustries2734
    @jdgindustries2734 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    The smoke test was really interesting actually. The side shot showed that it pulled air from the outside and blew it through the fan close to the hub, which is ironic because most fans have the exact problem, yet there seemed to be a decent dispersion of air flow on the backside. Be cool if we could get a shot of the fan in the smoke test from the "afterburner" point of view. I also noticed, some smoke boiled over the edge and ran into the "thrust column" on the backside, getting pulled into the exhaust trail.

    Overeingineerd, louder and works worse than his cheaper competitors, way more moving parts so more probable to break. This is really a luxury watch by the look and the spirit!

  • @bhalucard85
    @bhalucard85 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I Know that I Super Late to comment here but The Tic Toc Clock Fan planetary fans look like they were designed to push air when they rotate and the top fan pulls air so the two are working against each other. I might be wrong, But if I'm right I would like to see a fixed version of this fan to see how it would actually perform when properly designed.

    That is equal parts engineering and art! Now you need it permanently rotating at something like 15-20 rpm on the fan board to show all the moving parts in their glory :)

  • @githon1541
    @githon1541 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Clockwork is so amazing. Sounds like it has tons of flex and tons of tolerance. If it had less tolerance it’d probably get stuck though. Lubrication is key to clockwork, but quiet gears require a rigid structure and tighter tolerances. Sadly, plastic isn’t known for either of those capabilities. I wonder how the fan would perform if it were made from another, more sturdy, material.

  • @TheDoc73
    @TheDoc73 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    You know, the thing that this brings to mind is just the idea of a bearing-less fan. In theory, bearings are great. They provide easy, low-friction, high-tolerance motion. However, they go bad SO often that one can't help but long for a better system.
    I think there's a real market for premium fans that sacrifice on their price point in order to operate reliably and quietly for...well, as long as the motor.

  • @madnessfire9081

    Put some straws in the end of the tube and seal the space between them to direct the flow (like a patern of individual streams of fog)

  • @ErosMagnum

    Use superlube multipurpose ptfe oil. The Teflon will make it run much smoother. There is a grease version but greases are for longevity and moisture reduction for gears, motors and rails.
    Lithium and metal greases are for metal to metal applications.
    When you clean your fan motors you use mineral oil so that it also lubes the stator.

    A planetary gear set fan? Pretty badass. In an automatic transmission, you'll find a more practical version of this. The planets (6 small gears) are riveted into an assembly and spline into the ring gear (the outer toothed ring), and the sun gear slides in between the planets. There are roller bearings that keep the different components spaced out so there isn't this much friction.

  • @seldoon_nemar

    we need a sub-category for volume, you really should be tracking that on a spreadsheet too. I think it would be hilarious to find out the loudest AND most efficient ways to move air are.
    imagine having a fan in your PC that only spooled up as an alert and was actually a small air raid siren. "HEY, TEMPS ARE TOO HIGH, NOTICE ME SEMPAI!!!" WAAAAAAAAAAAA

    If you are looking for a good lubricant for use with any kind of plastic or Light-use metal parts, I would recommend liquid silicone. I have used it myself on several occasions and it is an absolute dream to work with, just a couple drops would probably be able to coat all of the surfaces of that fan.
