@theslowmoguys you guys needa do a collab with these guys to find out the actual speed and how much damage is happening
Don't make exclusive content unless it's superfluous to your projects
How about you make some huge sawblade wheels and put it on the pinto and cut some logs?
I like how a metal machine shop with a waterjet couldn't be bothered to make a very simple metal mount, nor use two cheap 90° angle joint, but instead 3d print it out of plastic.
Guess there's a reason why they have a lot of time to make TH-cam content :P
Well it is a tiny bit safer with plastic the plastic will fail far sooner and has less momentum for the flying bits. Steel would be like little bullets flying around at several 100 feet per second
The only thing we know how to use is a waterjet and even that’s pushing it (it’s also the only machine we have right now)
Maybe use the water jet then? Lol@@WaterjetChannel
@@WaterjetChannel You could have cut the same shape out of a metal plate though with the waterjet, could you not? In the same way you cut the sawblades?
In order to get rid of mist, you've gotta go into settings, find graphics, and toggle off particle effects
Ahhh should’ve thought of that
@@WaterjetChannelYeah, Dumbass. :3
No what you gotta do is find all the red pages and all the blue pages
@@zacharydefeciani7890video game reference? Idk what game it would be if it was.

I work in a facility that does production and development Spin Testing for the aerospace industry. A 450lb forging spinning at 20,000rpm makes you appreciate the multiple layers of safety we have built in. Seeing parts spin upwards of 150,000 rpm starts to boggle the mind a bit, that's 2,500 revs per second. Keep having fun but a bit more safety gear couldn't hurt.
please start a youtube channel lmao
Yeah, it seems like they're getting into bunker territory like HPC, might as well keep following their lead.
This video is just two guys playing with a water jet for a twisted childlike amusement and I love it.
That's the whole channel
"for OUR twisted childlike amusement"
they wouldn't be here if it didn't get views lmao
I'm all for it
You mean the channel
You could summarize the motto to be "we do stupid spectacular things so you don't have to"
Couple of suggestions for you guys to really get the most out of your setup:
Use grade 8 bolts for your axles. They're a lower tolerance alloy with another type of metal in them I think that makes them really strong and also a bit more rigid to prevent bending. Typically like a light gold color. Usually used for like car suspension and body mounting where high tension or shear is involved.
In your mounts, print the holes oversized and add into them some steel channel sleeves and then inside of that nylon sleeves. That'll reinforce the hole and make it really slippery to reduce friction. For an added safety measure, you could also have a couple of strips of 1/16" steel bent to form around the plastic so it works more like a bushing.
The mounts look orange, which means based on the 3D printed tire video they're PETG which is good for strength. But if you have some TPU left over, I might throw in a couple of layers around the bearing and mounting holes so it absorbs the shock when things get off balance. It'll help keep the energy going towards spinning rather than bending.
That big fidget spinner with the inner circle is called a planetary gear. It's the same type of gear that's in you automatic transmission, likely why it was able to go a little longer despite the type of material. And 27k rpm is pretty good, maybe 3 times faster than your transmission, but it has me wondering. What if you got a junkyard tranny, maybe out of a 40L60E that comes in Corvettes from before 2010, took out the 3rd gear (since you're keeping the center stationary the gearing is reversed) and spun it up? Properly balance gear in a waterjet might be pretty cool to see! Don't get me wrong though, it would be terrifying and I wouldn't want ro be anywhere near it when you turned the jet on. But if you're feeling brave, I think that would be one of the coolest videos and probably be one of the fastest things you ever test! That is, aside from an actual jet turbine lol.
what a genuinely good comment. suggesting how to make the mount better rather than just criticising it. Well I guess you are actually criticising it whereas others are basically just complaining for no reason.
Kudos for a positive comment. Grade 8 bolts are definitely good stuff, the color of the bolt doesn't signify the grade though. That outer plating can vary to help prevent corrosion, reduce friction when torqueing, etc. Give McMaster Carr a look they have tons of options and explain the differences.
@@funnygrunt_o7 Constructively though! Yeah, I'm not in the business of tearing people down. Plastic is cheap, easy to work with, and probably a lot less dangerous honestly, especially in this type of use. Also, I would want to find out what happens when the bolt friction welds itself to the steel mounts or completely grinds itself out doing Mach "Holy.Shit".
On that vein, I wouldn't bother with bolts, just a hardened steel rod with collars to hold the item centered and the rod centered in the mount, bearing mounts at the ends so there's no drag and they'd have a cool test bench.
@@SrslyNoz. ^^this right here 👌
Simpler=better
Thanks for the dremel spinning top idea, now I can get my ForeverSpin tungsten top to spin for ages. In fact, here’s the times I recorded with the tops I have:
Titanium: 4 minutes
Gold plated: 8 minutes 10 seconds
Tungsten: 13 minutes 18 seconds
That’s the same top that I would spin! The tungsten one
Are these times with the Dremel?
20:33 you need to give your de-misting system a complete 180. Instead of high pressure you need high volume. I suggest a high powered leaf blower
That's a good idea.
they could also add the compressor to the spinner as start up. to make the water impact lower and making less spray
Agree 100%
Too blowy
Speaking of insanely high rpm, destruction, and stupidity... In my youth I took a bicycle hub with a very narrow sleeve between the spoke hubs. It was about 1/2" diameter sleeve, so just over 1.5" circumference... I decided to hold the axle while I pressed the middle of the hub up to a 8 inch wire wheel (25" circ) doing 3400 rpm. It was neat for a little while, but the bearings did not survive. They completely blew out from the sides. Hub probably hit 50k-55k rpm depending on slipage. Fun fact! If that same hub was attached to the 20" bmx bike it came from and was spinning that rpm the bike wouldve been doing 2,974mph.
mach 3+ is wild for a bicycle 💀

Now give us the 30 min yap about Rubik's cubes!
Also, it seems like most of the carnage is happening on the back side of these experiments after the jet has hit it. Maybe a little risky, but if you moved the camera closer to perpendicular or even towards the back you might get better shots. Again, it might be a little riskier though, but you gotta risk it for the biscuit.

@pbnjgamin1087thanks, I forgot the velocity part
Alright you can have the yap session since you had some good insights
@@clayrhodes9756 Not just velocity, but all parables generally have this formula. In ohysics, this describes the distance travlled in a certain time dt with a=const.

Just do a sponsored collab with HydrolicPressChannel and let them build you the safety bunker.
Redo with a metal bracket so we can see actual results.
I searched for this comment!!!
Mist Solution:
Make a strong axel mounted between two mounts and attach the test piece to one end and apply the water jet to the other end of the axel itself. That way the surface the jet impacts is smooth for low mist, small radius for max speed, and more distant from where you're filming.
how about useing a leaf blower
OK if you say so 10:36.
Liam never liked the old mirror in his grandmother’s house. It was massive, with a tarnished silver frame, and the glass always seemed just a little too dark.
One night, alone in the house, he walked past the mirror and froze. His reflection wasn’t moving. His breath hitched as he raised a shaking hand. The reflection didn’t follow. Instead, it smiled.
Not his smile.
Slowly, the thing in the mirror reached out-not toward its own glass, but toward him.
Liam turned to run, but something cold clamped onto his shoulder.
The last thing he saw before he was yanked into the darkness was his own reflection, stepping out of the mirror-grinning.😊 I hope I scared you. You probably peed your pants.😊😊😊😊😊
Consider my pants peed
8:22 would have listened to the Rubik's rant personally😂
I had a metal Beyblade launched into my teeth. It was done as a joke... or so I thought.
What

@@LacklusterFilms I had an old metal Beyblade, I let my friend use it, he aimed it at me and sort of laughed, I laughed with him ... *THEN HE LET IT RIP* straight into my face, specifically my teeth.

12:37 if vertex is on (0,0)
the parable could be y= (-2/11) x^(2)
or y=(-2/9)x^2 if it passes through (3, -2) and (-3, -2)
This was very fun to watch. I suggest getting two dead center tail stocks for maximum rigidity. You would need centers with a blunt tip just smaller than your minimum mounting hole to both avoid interference with the opposite side and hold the spinner concentrically to mitigate as much imbalance in your setup as possible. I suspect that several of those heavier spinners bent the threaded rod axle before the spinner failed
Yo, what the animation is so cool 0:53 😮😮😮
Leaf blower for the mist. Not as strong but wider area. Could always put some straws in it for laminer flow
Such a cool idea for a video, but they keep using plastic mounts that break every time-WTF? Honestly, I can't comprehend this, considering the number of good ideas these guys have had in the past. The continued use of a plastic mount is just stupid.
I would cut these mounts with the waterjet out of metal, fast and easy. Why even print them 😄?
Understandable but at the same time it's nice to have a designated point of failure when you're doing this type of stuff for video content
@@bigbeardtrader9740 Would still be better to have a metal mount and just make a retention-piece for the top that is easily replaceable - some cheap wood/plastic.
That may most of the mechanism is permanent and doesnt need replacement aaaand the replaceable part is cheap and does not need to be 3d printed.
3D printing IS rather slow, resource intensive and really expensive.
For ridding mist I might recommend using a high powered duct fan, they are pretty damn tough to kill, are pretty decent at being water resistant, especially ones meant for hvac, they move air like crazy, and with a little ducting you've got yourselves a super vacuum
9:05 A-10 mating call
Let me get this straight... They have a $200,000 60,000psi waterjet, but use some $2 plastic trunnions with a 10 cent threaded rod for an axle. Then try to spin metal spinners at 50,000rpm until they explode with no safety equipment or enclosure. What could go wrong? I guess we'll know what happened when they stop posting videos....
Wdym no protection?
@Siple_YT neither of these guys are wearing condoms.
They spent all the money on the waterjet, no money for anything else
@Siple_YT uhhhhh... Protection from getting hurt????
@@mudshark351 bro is BEHIND the computer that thing can almost block a bullet
34:20 From Russia here. Had this toy as a child. Named Юла [y’ula], or whip-top, or humming top.
When they said German, my first thought was "nope, that's Russian", lol. I'm glad my assumption was right.
@@JThein1989I had one if these here in Germany. Maybe it's a bit more wide-spread.
i think the issue with the air compresser is it is focused i wonder if a fan might work maybe on of those large industrials i don't no just something less focused
That sounds like ot would work much better
11:31
that because they are 1:1 ratio to the center one, also they are the 3rd on the line so they go the same direction the center one, basically doing the same thing as the middle one, pretty nice
Hi, german here. These pushing tops are indeed a german thing, i had one as a kid and omg that gave me so much nostalgia seeing it in this video. It's called a "Brummkreisel" or "Buzzing Top"
I knew it was German lol
Use a shorter axel
No, use a shorter axle.
@elemar5 lol I fkn hate autocorrect lol 😂
I learned about these flying apart nearly the hard way. I spun a plastic one up with an air hose and it disintegrated in my hand. Luckily I just got a bit of a bruise on my thumb and no major damage.
34:17 I was hoping you were going to tell me what that was called, I remember having one just like it when I was a kid
10:50: "I don't have my face shield on"
Proceeds to still hold the sparking spinner with his bare hand.
idea, make a tungsten fidget spinner, mount it on the water jet, and see if even the strongest metal either falls apart into tungsten pieces, or spins at mach 3, either way it make for a great video
NGL Some of these Fidget Spinners are cool AF and I lowkey want some of them
Do it with a silicone oil jet. The lowest viscosity will move fastet. The target will last as long as the vibration doesnt warp the housing/chasis.
Hahahahaha, the end was the best! Raving to the car alarm
Thought I was the only one who did that
26:55 *Holy!* That's crazy! 😆
I just woke up hold on mate the sun ain’t out for both of us 😵💫
12:35 not a parabola, but rather a degree 4 polinomial 🤓☝️
Get some hardened bolts to keep balance for a better read on max speed. Will save you a lot of mounts guys! Have fun! Was fun watching
8:30 " Well that's rather small, but I think we could mount it in the same way...Just with a smaller drill bit" That's what she said!
You could try using light colors that water is less effective at reflecting. A color like red. That may help it penetrate the water a bit more and illuminate the spinners
Dog kiss ASMR at the end, just lovely.
5:50 Im always comming under a lot of force.
internet privileges revoked lol
Nice pun
That toy you were wondering about is called "yula" and is actually russian as far as I know
That was really a lot of fun to watch. Great job, guys!
Such a funny video! You guys are such lovable dorks, and I mean that in an endearing way. Great job. 😄👍🏻
3:36 ...what is he doing back there?
Ich weiß nicht so recht. War immer beeindruckt, erstmal davon dass ihr Sachen mit dem Waterjet beschleunigt. Aber alles rundherum ist so laienhaft, dass es mir keinen Spaß macht, zuzusehen. Warum habt ihr so ein schäbiges setup? Keine stabile Achsen? Keine vernünftige aufhängung? Warum kontert ihr die Muttern nicht? Ihr vergleicht die Modelle mit deren Drehzahlen, obwohl sie alle unterschiedlich belastbar sind bezüglich des wasserstrahls. Das ist alles so halbherzig unprofessionell. Vielen Dank vorerst. Ich schaue bestimmt noch einmal rein 👍
0:49 I love the how he looks
Ah yes.. I remember digging pieces of one of these out of my hand and explaining the gouges in the concrete wall and blood all over the airhose..😮😮
I love your videos though, always quality content, answering the BIG questions for the neurospicies of the world 🙌🏽😂 keep up the great work man!
Great video as always. Could you not point a leaf blower (or other high-powered alternative) towards the waterjet to reduce the amount of mist/spray?
the transition between scenes was epic. big fan
Instead of spinning an object directly with the water jet, you guys should try offsetting the object to be spun on a shaft. Use an extremely robust paddle to spin the shaft that the object is mounted on. Therefore, you are testing the actual G-Force that the object can handle without damaging it with the force of the water jet.
Man, that was cool seeing those things fly all over the place, the last one made me laugh too, awesome video dudes 👍😂
For the mist, possibly a liquid-rated shop vac pointed at the setup from two or three inches away (only the plastic housing need be at risk) sucking the water away rather than blowing it. I have no idea if it would work, but it could be something to test.
I expect that 30 minute Rubix Cube ramble to be uploaded as a membership perk
💡Try making the water hit the far most outside tip of the spinner so the water jet doesn't destroy the spinner before it even gets up to it's top speed. The water jet itself is destroying these pieces sadly😩 Damn great idea/try, but done inconsistently. I like these experiments😂👍
20:42 use a turbine and a shaft and put the fidget spinner on the other end
Can you put the camera and lights on the side of the spinner where the water jet isn't hitting? It looks like there is little to no mist over there after the initial blast.
10:37 You're not a fish. Remind yourself that hiccups aren't real and they'll go away
Be careful with those fake beyblades. The Chinese ones contain lead.
Use a leaf blower for the water mist. Something powerful, like a 120v plug in one of you aren't worried about its proximity to the water. The air jet you're using is probably to thin of an air stream and not covering most of the area you're trying to film.
If you wanna get rid of the mist, the best way I can think of is to take some time to build a jig for the whole setup. I would recommend 12 inches of high speed steel bar stock. Attach the item you want to spin near one end, and a sturdy steel gear or something that can act as a durable "water wheel" near the other end.
Use the jet on the water wheel, away from the item you wanna film, and bada bing bada boom, better footage.
I'd also recommend testing different water wheel designs before making an actual video though, as you don't wanna post a video where the only thing blowing up is the water wheel lol
But that removes the fun of the waterjet destroying the item as well.

Different vibe on this video, good jokes, maybe more easy going. 🙂. I liked this episode a lot, thanks!
Maybe try a forge blower against the mist, they usually are quite compact and strong and should do the trick.
Can't guarantee it works, though. 😅
Please, please, please, could you do do a revisit of the ones the stupid plastic mount failed? That was unbelievably unsetisfying and unfulfilling... 😅
For the mist, could you reduce your shutter angle? It looked like you were using 350 degrees, which means you'll get a lot of motion blur, if the droplets are moving quickly, it might be easier to see between them with a shorter angle, if you have enough light.
The speeds on this are just absolutely insane
The dog was my favorite part :3
Perfect solution for the mist issue... just use non-misting water. Duh. 😂 or maybe have Nilesred whip up some super heavy water that may not atomize as much
You need to make a solid aluminum flywheel and drill the edges ,Then carve out a scoop all the way around in segments spaced apart so that the water jet can use its base to propel the wheel .
Use a ceramic coated bush for less friction and heat buildup
See if that makes a difference
Try making a Go cart being powered by it 🤣✌️
You know how crazy this would be if y’all built a mount that didn’t break.
huh, liked that Inception part 😂
I wonder if you used the air compressor to spin it up before using the water jet the mist would be less
as a kid I was spinning one of those gyros with a air compressor and it exploded and cut open my stomach and sliced through my hand and chest it was a crazy experience and was definitely scary!

For the record, BOTH.
Make the bolt shorter and they'll last longer. Spinning things fast is 100% about balance. Having the bolt that long allows the small out of balance move towards rapid disassembly.
If you want it to be that far apart for the camera, put a sleeve over the bolt to keep th axle rigid.
I love Beyblade. I love it when Ash yells ITS TIME TO DUEL in the digi-dimension
Best episode of monster rancher EVER!
Not sure if your waterjet is supporting it but using hot water might help against the mist, since it evaporates faster. Could also be easier to blow away that way.
I feel like an aluminium or steel mount would be a better choice than plastic for these superfast rotation videos
32:45 those are a lot older than what you think - I remember having one when I was a very young kid, and I'm now in my 50's. back then for me it was endless fun.
We use to spin carbide inserts with an air nozzle on an allen wrench.
Thank you for the product links lol. I was about to ask for them and saw tehm, there's some good quality fidgets here!
I think an EDF would work well for removing the mist. Also, make your own fidget spinner from AR 500 steel and ceramic bearings.
LOL that tin toy top was straight up lethal it split in half and was basically 2 flying spinning 20k rpm razer blades if that had hit someone ...
The little gyro scope was the coolest you should get someone with the proper tooling to make just the main part from solid ar 500 with 7 sets of bearings in the spindle have it perfectly balanced and have a hard mount made for it so you can max out the rpm water jet at full speed and just slowly move it in as it cuts in to the ar 500 disk you should be able to break 100k rpm possibly getting something spinning as fast as is possible with the water jet. That little sphere spinner was probably the coolest to see spun up to stupid high rpms
A shorter axle would make it more stable since the larger the radius, the more acceleration for a given rpm and thus more force. The wobble is likely what caused quite a few of the failures.
Also, as another commenter pointed out, big fan>small stream. You're trying to clear mist from a volume of air, not a line.
Love Hugo Cabret, it's a great book!
Nice video!
The parabola is 1/2x^2-0.3
I’m from Germany and I had one of the spinners you called „German“ as a kid, so I guess you’re right 😄
A couple of tips for safety and production.
Instead of mounting on a 3D printed mount or some timber use some 25mm acrylic maybe 200mm square with a fairly large holes drilled in the centre. Use a grade 8 bolt or a drill bit as the axle and try to keep it as short as possible.
Maybe use a leaf blower to get the mist cleared as well as possible.
Have the waterjet "just" touching whatever is being spun. By making substantial contact a fair portion of the water gets turned into mist with ever contact.
“I could actually die” should be your slogan in all your videos
Use air pressure from the same angle the camera is directed. So it blows away from the camera. This will give you the best "no mist" results.
Seems like the clarity is better from the back side like the full speed camera. Maybe the high speed from that angle?
20:30 there is an attachment for airguns call tornador. It should put a better wider cone of air pressure out and make a broader wall of are per se
I had never actually seen the fps car door video. Damn that was close. Make a patreon, but please don't beg for patrons until the end of videos. They're the ones who will give you money anyways. Good vids, nice job.
11:18 I'll be honest, I clicked on the video just because I was curious if this 9 gear thing works or not... Not disappointed. 😆
I don't think this is fair tbh . I think all of the failures are premature due to the axle system. That lag bolt keeps bending under load throwing the entire thing out of balance and causing failure that way every time. I'm not quite halfway through the Vidya, so maybe you change that later 😂 idk yet 😂
