Jet Engine Fixes + Help me Decide on Something
EDIT: Massive thank you to everyone who participated. In hindsight the solutions look really obvious but as one of viewers pointed out "everything seems simple is hindsight". Thank you everyone for your kind words, input, feedback and support. I'll announce the sub-channel and the memberships soon :)
More EDIT: Yes turning the turbine wheel only fixes the turbine wheel and now the compressors would actually spin the wrong way if this was an actual working jet engine. I think the manufacturer made a mistake while 3D printing the wheels and printed something correctly but others as mirror images.
This video is a premiere not because I have something new and cool to show you but mostly because I would like to hear your opinion and feedback live on some things I have some doubts about. The first, shorter, part of the video, will address some of the issues with my Jet Engine explanation but the rest of the video will focus on ideas and plans for the near future where I hope you will join the conversation. The video is a bit long-winded (27min) and fully unscripted but it does get to the main point. To create a bit of a prelude, I am feeling trapped by the channel and have a strong need to produce different types of content from time to time, experiment and cover topics which I now feel are not suitable for this channel. So I was thinking about memberships and/or sub-channels as ways to do this, but I'm not yet sure what would make the most sense. I feel that I need to change the pace from time to time in order not to loose my passion for doing this. That's sort of the gist of it to get us started.
Hope to see you on the premiere and I'm really excited to chat live :)
Much love,

The channel is driving for answers, it doesn’t have to be about motors or vehicles. Anything you want to explore is fine by me. I’m sure it’ll be as intriguing and well thought out as everything else you do. Take care. ☯️🙏
Whats the different topic? If its similar you easily get attention on this channel but if completely different maybe an extra channel is better altough it will take a while to build up. But as always your choice, i hate to see a channel fall from its peak
I'm looking forward to hear your ideas and topics you want to steer your channel to. You got a talent in explaining mechanical things. As long as you keep your level of quality, and this special "blend" that makes you so authentic, I'm pretty sure I will enjoy your content thankfully.
Jay Leno has a turbine bike. One of the few things I have yet to build. Heat is your chief issue. Exhaust temps as high as 1077 degrees Celsius is hard on anything close to it. As far D4A the Dodge turbine with heat exchanger was a novel invention. Higher efficiency and much "cooler" exhaust exit temps. My mentor drove the Turbine McLaren. He also built a 289 pushing 504HP@9KRPM. Black flagged at Daytona in 68. Passed inspection afterwards. :-)
From a viewer experience I tend to prefer second channels for videos that are either TOTALLY unrelated or long-unscripted videos that are not as relevant to the main channel. And from what I can gather from other people's experience in content creation, second channels is a good idea because if you post an unrelated video to your main, the YT algorithm will first show it to your subscribers which won't like it as much as a normal so the algorithm will think your video isn't good and won't recommend it to anyone else
I personally really appreciated the change of pace/topics of your video on greenwashing, so for what it’s worth keep going off in whatever direction you feel like going, I think it’s your personality what keeps people coming back as much as the content you provide.
The greenwashing video was fantastic.
what's the title of it?
Dude, your delivery is what keeps me here. Analytical and personal. You love ur stuff. As long as there is mechanical and engeneering magic nobody will complain. Ppl who enjoy your content should not be idiots, or else they'd be watching donut media religiously instead of ur videos. I want to beliebe ur audience is smart, and smart ppl enjoy a rational seed and a complex opinion on topics. Long story short: chill and do content, as long as you keep up the personal touch, rationality and god knows what else, u'll have your real audience.
Telling Donut Media content is for idiots is rude, btw... I know they are more "simple" in termes of engineering, but the videos about the Miata and many others are equally pleasant to watch. It's just not the same type of audience (like comparing LTT and Gemers Nexus, I'd say...)
@@fridaycaliforniaa236 I got a T-shirt with an F1 picture, saying: "certified racist". Do u think I give a f#k about rudeness? What I care about is for mediocrity to stop using euphemisms and fallacies.
spicy boi
Another channel - striving 4 answers
This
Yeah this is pretty good lol
This is good
That was a good idea😀
This is genius. It fits so well with the ambition and the desire.
I find this channel so endearing, it feels so honest and humble. You can tell this is just the channel of a guy, it reminds me of the simpler times of youtube, without that big PR layer on top of everything. It surprised me that this channel has almost 1 milion subscribers, it feels like a 100k, and I say it as a good thing since it feels so close and friendly
Well you spotted correctly that the turbine wheel was mounted the wrong way around but it's no better now. Looking from behind into the turbine, the turbine wheel will spin clockwise, and assuming you have a solid shaft, this will spin the compressor wheels clockwise also. This will reverse the flow. Your turbine blades need to be oriented in the same direction as the compressor blades, just with the high pressure (concave) side facing forwards. With the parts you have available this will not be possible to achieve I'm afraid.... However this is absolutely not your fault - it's the kit that faulty.
affirmative, the part is printed wrong or from an other engine, can't be installed correct here
@71Kailee You are 100% correct. Nothing d4a did was wrong. They sent him the wrong turbine wheel for the combustion section. All wheels in a turbine engine (compression and combustion) must either be clockwise wheels or anti-clockwise wheels, not a combination. They way d4a explain things in a language that is not his first language, is truly outstanding. I remember commenting that I wish all teachers would have this ability. Keep going D4A!!
I was looking for that comment) My English is not good, and it is hard for me to explain that mistake. So thank you, your note is brilliant!
The mechanical engineer (former turbine specialist) in me says you need to think about the blade orientation on the exhaust section. i.pinimg.com/originals/89/d1/51/89d151bc0bd740eedd9497039b9589cf.jpg
Yes the turbine part is made incorrectly. The angle of all of the blades in the same shaft must be "parallel". There are multi shaft engines that may rotate in opposite directions but again on each shaft they are all parallel to each other. The spark is left running continuous when in very wet/snowy conditions. Enjoyed the videos, 👍
The green washing video was one of your best videos in the past year+. If making content like that scratches the itch, you should not hesitate.
As I've come to realise, I keep coming back to certain channels not because of their specific content but for the personality of the people who run them. I'll follow you through anything you do, whether it's riding bikes, doing more personal or political stuff or anything else. For me it's simpler to have it all in one place, but I get the point of having several channels for separation.
Thank you!
My favorite videos you have made are the ones were you discuss global, economical, industrial issues, alongside ice engines. I watch them because I like your opinion
You are an impressive young man and I find your content quite thorough and well presented. I have even learned a few things watching your videos. Anyone looking to get into mechanical engineering would serve themselves well to follow your presentations.
We are happy to help 🎉 We can deliver at least 5 different decisions about anything 🎉
Riding for answers sounds actually great☺️👍 I‘m very happy to hear that there will be more even raw content😊👍
Thank you. Glad to hear there's some interest :) it will probably be horrible content initially until I get the hang of it
@@d4a so what, go for it! We are along for the ride.
My favorite channels on KZhead are driven by the people making them exploring things that genuinely interest them, such as yours. I have a certain, potentially misplaced for sure, faith in those creators that something they want to chase down and look at, I may find interesting as well, even if I would not have thought so initially. Your delivery, pacing, clarity, and engagement are the major things that draw me. Exactly what topic is being explored is less so. Thank you for everything you've enabled me to enjoy so far. I'm sure I'll continue to tune in for what comes in the future.
Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏
You must prioritise yourself irrespective of how it might affect your viewership. The means by which you satisfy your need to make content of a different nature is irrelevant. If you are feeling constrained and it is beginning to take a toll on your health and wellbeing, something must change. Better to sunder your audience than to be beholden to them. You've always done what you want. You've never backed away from that. You've always let idiocy from the commentariat bounce off of you. Do what you want to do - we stick around because of you and your character.
Hi from Italy, you have the ability to communicate such technical knowledge in a very intuitive way, and always by keeping the viewer focused on the matter. You truly are inspiring, and your passion and curiosity emerge from your words. I would love the extra contents. Ready to support you!! (the greenwashing video was impressive)
It's so cool how you go over corrections and learn something new and present your passion as you learn. The best way to learn is to teach and the best teachers are the ones who are still learning and haven't lost sight of the learning process. Great job! 😊👍
I am a casual who just rides a motorcycle and wants to broaden his amateur knowledge of the vehicle of his choice. And I find you as one of the best sources of good, no nonsense information about engines etc. It is a niche. But you are exceptionally good in that niche. Keep it up, man.
I'm not a petrolhead, I don't own a car or motorbike (only an ebike), but I do like your videos about how engines work.
A simple way to think about typical compressor stages is that the rotor blades increase the velocity & total pressure of the air & the stator vanes diffuse the high velocity air, slowing it & increasing the static pressure and density. Yes, that's simplified, but it's a handy way to think of it.
As somebody who has only been following the channel for a few months but has watched every iconic engines, engine boot camp, and boost school video, I'd like to say I'll watch just about anything you post. As a long time petrol head, I find your videos both education and entertaining and I'm always looking forward to something new. I believe the sub channel was a fantastic idea and as someone who is Starving 4 Answers, I look forward to diving into Riding 4 Answers. Thank you for all of your terrific content. As an idea for a future D4A video, I would love to see the evolution of combustion chamber shapes and designs and the benefits of each.
A little feedback from someone who watches a lot of KZhead videos: When I see a channel for the first time, and like that presentation, I want more of that, and I don't want it to change. In fact, I saw on one person's channel where he changed his intro, and people bitched about it. It sounds very petty, but I understand this. When I watch Star Trek, I expect the same intro every time; I don't expect it to change. For me, it's part of the whole package of the channel. Now, if a channel wants to go in another direction and starts a second channel, to me that's fine, that's a whole new ball game.
I think there's room on this channel for a larger variety of RELATED topics. But some things that are quite separate from engines and vehicles, is probably better suited on a separate channel.
"Driving 4 Answers" "Riding 4 Adventure" There ya go. Split into two channels. Giving people choice, and they can still subscribe to both. To echo many others, your content so far on explaining mechanics, diving into complex engineering solutions, what makes specific engines so great, etc has been absolutely amazing. Don't stop bringing us the quality content you have been producing.
I'm watching your videos for your well-explained and level-headed analysis. It's the fact that you approach everything, be it a new engine design or greenwashing, or a community rumor with an open mind that makes your channel great to me. Whatever you do, I'll watch it if that's the way it keeps going.
Im brazilian,but the way you explain about things is the reason i keep seeing your videos,all i learned about cars and english came from you,thank you for teaching me.
Dude, many of us would listen to you talk about whatever you want, if you turned it into a cooking channel we would still tune in. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, whatever you do is cool my bro
Feedback: 1) Existing content in its current form is great (you present well and are always interesting). But no surprise after 8 years you want a change... 2) You've earned the trust of your subscribers, so feel free to mix it up. Sub channels and off piste videos work (harrys farm/garage) 3) I'd pay for this material. Don't need the gimmicks (voting, live stream, q&a - it's all bs). Keep the price lower by not offering the fluff. Just regularly deliver stuff you *care* about Most importantly, thank you. Love this channel!
Personally some of your "unexpected" content feels super genuine and its a nice change of pace. But I think "writing 4 answers" or as someone else mentioned "striving 4 answers" is a great idea.I find it crazy that having dubbed content had backlash, tons of other channels do that all the time. Having a separate channel might help with getting the video seen by what KZhead deems as the right people. Also I think KZhead membership sounds perfectly reasonable.
At this point, your approach has become so thoughtful, insightful and intuitive, I'm sure you could turn a makeup tutorial into a thought provoking look into cosmetic materials sourcing. What I mean is, once you reach a certain point of success, everything you say either supports or challenges the status-quo and is inherently political. What I liked about the green washing video was that you talked honestly on a topic that everyone has experienced but not everyone could articulate. I'm excited to see what you do. No matter what it is.
I discovered your channel a week ago and have probably watched over 10hours of your videos. I recently took on a project fixing my truck and understanding how it works is what drove me to find your channel…. Thank You!!! FYI I love off-road motorcycle content! I will watch! (I ride an electric dirt bike) I will never pay for a membership of any channel Always go the path of freedom man!
Do it! I'm not a petrolhead by any means but I find your videos fascinating. You have such an excellent way of presenting that I think it would be interesting to see you on any topic. Good luck with whatever you do, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with...
Dude, I would love seeing varied content in your channel, because you're one of the few content creators that can do an unbiased and honest work. Your videos about the greenwashing and the transition to electric cars are not only good dose of varieties to the channel, but also things that people NEED to see these days, because of so much sensationalistic and biased journalism of today.
Good on you for admitting to and clarifying your mistakes. Great channel!
This is YOUR channel, we want to spend time with YOU. Not that fake friend that tries to impress, so do what you want on and with this channel. If people move on then let them, and if people stick around then also great, that is not your concern. Your concern is being yourself.
For 2 years I worked with an engineer who knew a lot about turbine engines. I had many questions. I believe I understand the technology. But they are awesome.
First off, take pride in the fact that you are good at what you have been doing. The way you introduce topics, information and ideas is great. You come across honest, knowledgeable and present it in a way that is entertaining. I get it that even if you are good at something, it can be your passion but you can still feel you have become repetitive and bored. So if you feel you need a change, go for it. You don't know for sure of the reactions until you just do it. If you are that unsure of the reaction/acceptance from your current audience then yes, just do a totally new channel directed towards the other topics you want to explore. This way you can keep the two things separate ish and you won't alienate one group of people who enjoy x content by not y will still get the content they enjoy and keep them coming back to see more of the same. People hate change and can say and do stupid things just because of change. I think you will do great however you chose to purse the next chapter.
You've given a lot to the public. The videos already released are invaluable to me, personally. If that's all I get, I'd be perfectly happy. Do whatever the hell you want now.
Hello I am enjoying your videos and think we feel the same way about engines and doing your own work on project cars.. I have a 1986 Nissan D21 with Z24i Electro-injection and a 1988 WD21 SE-V6 with VG30i. I got them broken down and nearly free now both on the road from mostly junkyard parts and cobbling. Your vid on L series engines got me here and was really good. Great job getting the Toyota in order from someone who knows what it takes to do this on a budget.
I not only watch for the super interesting content and how well you explain things but for your personality. Do whatever you want to do and I’m sure it will work out great. Thank you for all the great content over the years and may there be many more to come. Cheers
Dude I really enjoyed watching your channel. You were jumping on turbo and I just ran to the beginning of the caveman doing the aspirated motor and watched it all. Loved the one explaining the impact of the electric, showing the thermoelectric of your city... the one riding bicycle in the olimpic infrastructure... the ride to Mostar. The ride countryside with the bike... Loved that 3rd person camera driving in the snow... the epic engines... dude... just do your stuff accordingly to what your heart tells and it will be just fine watching it. Thanks and regards from Brazil.
We are happy to watch different topics on the channel. It's a pleasure to hear you explaining different things
To put this straight out. I like how you explain things, I watched a single video about differences between two strokes and four strokes, and I binged watched a lot of other videos, just for the delivery. So, yeah: do whatever content you want and love to do, don't get bored about your own content, or it will feel boring :) Cheers!
I like listening to the way you talk, and the sound of your voice, it's not always that it's about a single topic. Some people follow you because they like the way you are interested in things and explain them
Hi! I've been a fan of your channel for a while and I absolutely love all your videos. I'm also one of the people who like to see something unexpected from a channel that I fancy, but it is also perfectly understandable that there are people who expect only one specific type of content from you and it might be confusing for some subscribers and new viewers to see multiple types of videos. I personally think a seperate channel is the best solution, as it makes your content available to the most ammount of people who actually care about what you have to say and create (I'm one of them!). I will fully support any videos you make as i find your point of view (at least in the greenwashing video) very interesting but at the same time entartaining. You seem like a very authentic, honest and open person and I'm eager to see the future of your videos!!
Dude, I keep coming back because I always learn something cool here. Really don't care about the quality of the video or audio, the part that keep us here is the content that is extremely great for engine nerds like me (and I think that everyone here too). Also, it's your channel as you said, you can do whatever you want, I love how humble you explain and teach us here, that's a humility leason behind the technical one. The secondary channel is a great idea (many youtuber use this method), also an option is to use playlists, title themed videos or something to easily know which kind of video is in front of us before viewing it, so we can decide if it matches our mood before watching it. The only thing I can ask for is for you to keep doing this, and if for you to keep motivated enough we need to see some random video, I think it's a fair price. Mery Christmas and happy new year!
Just do whatever makes you feel good!! Your video about learning to ride n getting lost really gets me excited about riding my bike to explore the nature, those areas outside my city that I wouldn’t have thought about in my daily routine. Finally last July I did my first long distance (for me) ride, an 800km+ tour with my wife. We had a great time n really loved every moment and ever since we tried to make time to ride around every other weekend So, thank you for posting the video n keep them coming
Great video and I have a lot of respect for you coming back on to make corrections. I am in aviation and have been working a long time with turbine style engines. Something that has always been interesting is how turbo-shaft engines work and now the newer high-bypass turbo fan engines. Truly amazing how the turbine engine has been adapted.
Make the content that excites you! Your enthusiasm will drag other people in naturally 😊 Also.. thankyou for just being you in this video and speaking your thoughts.
There are many engine and car-related channels on KZhead, but yours is one of my favorites, and I've been following it since I discovered it. I see that you have the tendency to address philosophical and sociological aspects of technology in general and transportation in particular, and I am therefore not surprised that you are interested in going in this direction. I'm sure that if you do, it will be super interesting and insightful. I will keep following whatever you do. Oh yes. When jets fly inside clouds or rain, they do run the spark plugs constantly to avoid engine flameout.. All the best!
You should take this channel in whatever direction you want to. For me though, it is your excellent vehicle engineering content that I come here for.
I NEVER get bored of cars and engines and aircraft! ALSO, you are one of THE MOST INTERESTING speakers on the subject of engines! Even when you make mistakes, you are still interesting and enjoyable to watch!
I like the channel title D4A Unfiltered. It's easily identifiable as you, and not specific, so you're not confined to something specific like riding. Thanks for the candid explanation of this mini crisis of conscience about keeping your audience happy.
Your personality, enthusiasm, charm and wit are the paints you use to color the content of your choosing. Please produce whatever drives your interest and curiosity. Yes, you have cultivated a following of motorheads. But we motorheads would like to think we're not just one trick ponies. As you, we too have a divergent appetite for myriad subjects. Motorcycles, economics, public policy, philosophy, who knows what, the world is an oyster, so to speak. Speaking for myself, I think a second channel makes sense. I'd love for you to share more about your life and your thoughts on any subject that tickles your fancy. You're a person who thinks deeply and has a gift for translating your thoughts into words. I look forward to riding along with you! Best wishes and much love,
You could talk about almost anything and I'd listen - listening is mainly what I do with most of the KZhead content I consume. You have a gift and a talent for delivering peaceful, soothing, and interesting content. Follow your creative interests and things will eventually fall into place. Doing that has served me well in my career despite going through similar periods where I've felt stumped or trapped.
I love your work because we share passions and I really appreciate your honesty, knowledge, work ethics and talent!
Do anything you want to do, people that are on the same page as you, will follow you along ( I’m in).
Love the channel brother. Your video on the reality of EVs and ICEs is definitely one of my favourites. If you start another channel, I would follow that too, but it's your channel, your rules. Paywalls are like old CDs. Nobody wants to buy the whole album for one song. I don't like having any more recurring monthly payments than absolutely necessary, and sometimes I wish there was a way where I could just send creators some cash directly. You are killing the game, keep it up dude. Got a level head on those shoulders.
You have the best Chanel for engines with the nicest explanations of them. As well as your models and graphics are nice and well made. It is always a pleasure to get some content from you. Greetings from Stuttgart.
Man, I love all your content even though I cannot watch your Spanish videos because I don't speak the language. My reasons for always coming back to your channel is that I love your insight, your knowledge, your way of explaining, your love for mechanics and the way you explain it. I'd personally enjoy videos of you enjoying the hobbies we all share and I loved your greenwashing video as well. Just keep being yourself no matter what kind of content you create and the right people will always be there! That's what I believe. Best of luck and I'm eager to watch whatever is your next video. Also, I can't say "Thank you" enough!
You know what, I do got to say, I really appreciate a channel like yours not strictly sticking to one type of content. It's informational, it's factual, it's sometimes instructional, and even sometimes it's opinionated, but it's coming from someone whom I believe is very knowledgeable about the topics being discussed. Don't take this the wrong way, but sometimes I think of you as the more serious version of RCR, Regular Car Reviews, which is another channel I love, and as though they present some factual information of course, they are definitely meant to be funny. I remember you were talking about electric vehicles in an apartment complex, and I remember you getting into some deep philosophical topics, and you know what, that stuff I think is gold: not being afraid to step out and do something unconventional, a lot of people put themselves in a box and are willing to do that.
Thank you sincerely for sharing the human side of your motivations. You have inspired me and earned tremendous respect by explaining complex phenomena in understandable terms. Now I know you struggle like I do with the constraints of our jobs. Keep going!!!
Mixing it up which ever way you want because it comes down to your presentation which make your channel interesting.
I like to watch your videos casually and I didn’t have a problem with the first turbine video. But seeing you apologizing and correcting yourself bumped up my respect for massively 👍👍
Keep doing what you’re doing dude, it’s great. You make it easy for an old dog like me to learn how to keep learning.
This video makes you human, genuine. Although I never thought any less. I did some work with Jakadofsky jet engines, we sometimes say expanding gases once ignited versus saying pressure rises, lots of people get confused when you say the word pressure. As to other content, sounds like a second Chanel is the best route, the good news is if you announce a second channel most of your subscribers will immediate subscribe. Also if I may say, when I first saw your channel, I wasn't sure about you, then later I started to wonder if you were in engineering or working for a manufacture. Now, I point everyone to your videos to understand things. I do hope you end up working for a manufacture if you are not already. You understand things that are outside the scope of most mechanics... I know some pretty intense mechanics that work on serious hypercars and I always argue with them about some of the mistakes they make, my only saving grace is I know some people at one of the hypercar manufactures. My point to this is, I you have touched on some things in your videos that have raised the level of respect I have for you.
Respect, for all ideas. There will be different voices, follow your heart, I believe you.
I love your channel, I've been coming here for a while, don't know how long exactly, but a couple of years I guess. 😊 My favourite content is technical and mechanic stuff. You are a great teacher! You also seem like an awesome person so, bonus! 👍🙂
I've been with you for only a few months, mainly watching back videos , what I do understand is that you have a degree...I don't. But what I do know is being creative is everything. This means you can't get everything right but that's what learning is all about. You have no need to apologise,....to me at least. Please keep informing me. Also, don't worry about the dissenters. Cheers Aussie James
Dont change....really like how you deliver your content. Nice and personal.
I'm a subscriber to KZheadrs for more than 10 years and they've been doing the same things over and over again I'm not so fed up You are far more educational so just keep doing what you're doing I don't think anyone will be fed up of you
I can't speak for others, but I'd love to see more riding content, stuff like Midwest MX or just raw footage. Riding for answers makes the most sense.
Mate, you're a champion. Go with your intuition. She'll be right
I thoroughly enjoy your content, and credit to you for correcting mistakes! You cover complex subjects clearly and understandably, It saddens me that people need to spread hate when you've clearly put so much effort into breaking down a subject. Make the content you want to make, your passion shows in your videos no matter the subject!
Man just do whatever you want to do, if people want your wisdom they will want it in any package. You are artist, so do not be afraid to loose few users.
Bro just keep up the good, keep creating these very informative videos, never loose your creativity cuz that is what brought us to your channel in the first place
You are the most authentic man on the youtubes! Whatever you do, we will appreciate it.
Thank you so much
Much love brother. I 100% enjoy the way you review, and/or discuss different technologies. It may be too close to home, it may not interest you. But I think you would be FANTASTIC at reviewing things. Such as the newest car so and so produced, new engines that are to be released, new turbos so and so makes, even covering Tesla’s or other electric vehicles and their new innovations. I think with enough growth, you may find yourselves even getting paid by companies to review their stuff. Obviously that is a slippery slope, but you are a steadfast person with morals. Not to sound like a broken record, but I think it is something you are already fantastic at doing.
i have always thought of this channel as a lounge or forum for those of us interested in these topics, where we can all learn together
Thank you for the clarification and for sharing your goals. I see that you have different ideas. First and foremost, it's always important that you fully believe in what you're going to do. We can never be 100% sure, even though we may have done enoumerous calculations and predictions, about how is it gonna be. But we always have to believe. Otherwise, it becomes easier to get frustrated...or even insecure. As for the ideas, it's better to go step-by-step. Starting with what's easier first and then move up until the final step. Like the live streamings. Probably it's better to leave it for a later project. Live streaming while riding a bike. Well, I don't have any experience on bikes. But, as a driver, I don't even care about listening to music. Some may not understand, some others may find it ridicolous, some others may be more like me. But, to me, the music is the engine and the gearbox. Anyways, my point is, I want to be fully engaged on the driving (no problems with conversations, that's normal). However, I don't remember seeing so much videos about people making live streams while they drive. On a bike, having to focus on the riding and on the streaming at the same time, doesn't look safe to me. Of course, I may be wrong about it. Now, the most important. I wish a great success on your next projects.
I personally think you have such a gift being able to understand concepts and ideas that a large number of people don’t understand without someone such as yourself explaining them. I would enjoy watching you explain almost anything and I’m sure many other people would too. There’s truth that people expect a certain type of content from this channel but making other content broadens the range of potential viewers you may have. I’ll continue to watch whatever content you create dude.
Happy to see other content, I think you should explore and chase whatever makes you happy and excited. I totally understand the burnout, it means you're not a robot 😉
I think it’s your personality that brings people back. But do what you want and i’m sure people who have seen your videos will always come back and watch even if it’s off topic from piston engines at times
I, like so many other, come here for the variety you bring. Be you. That's what I stay for.
You should do what you enjoy doing. Don't fall into the trap of doing what you think will give you views. It won't end well for you. You'll lose passion and engagement, and your viewers will notice that. Do what you enjoy and are excited about. You don't have to stick to one kind of content, so long as it's something you truly enjoy and love. Keep going, man. I'm rooting for your success.
I dont really know what to say in regards to this so apolgies if this is a mess, but i really want to show my appreciation for you and the content you make, i personally would be very interested in what you have to say about other topics as you have a very objective and reasonable way of explaining things that few others have, and especially since i dont see many perspectives outside of the US its good to have some variety. In fact you mentioned the fact that people get bored of certain topics or drift away from them and i have experienced that too with cars and bikes, but i still come back and watch every video of yours because i know i will always learn something, so as long as you have passion for stuff and demonstrate it in video format i will be here to watch, thank you.
What I like about your channel: 1.the host(you) you explain things i feel like a good mate of me would do it. 2. Detailed and complex engeneering themes, explained to the point. 3. Different themes. like combustionengines and stuff around it(how a turbo works and why it flutters) Cars, engines, planes, bikes... What comes next? I don't know but it'll be entertaining, informative and probably technical👍
"Pressure in the combustion chamber will take the path of least resistance, and that is out the back." In general, as a rule, this is correct. So far as explaining the normal operation of the engine. Compressor stall is an abnormal condition where the pressure becomes high enough and the inlet pressure low enough to bleed back out the front. Was a major issue on the SR-71 solving which involved an incredibly advanced computer controlling the inlet diverter system.
Riding for Answers .. "Occasionally Off Trail" Or something like that seeing as how you expressed you would like to have the freedom to make what you want of it . 👍 I've been watching your channel and get caught up in it.. Always great brain food! I really like the idea of you starting another channel. Especially one that has motorcycle content involved. Riding's been a major part of my life and there's ,I'm sure, a large number of people that would be drawn to your channel on that alone.. And once I found out how incredibly knowledgeable you are..I think you'd have a winner. Looking forward to seeing the results!
Sub channels are the way to go for radically different content. You are right. Once you get past a certain size, you get a mass of humanity that expects a particular style. I'm with you. I like randomness but many don't. A new channel solves your major problems with 'unexpected' content. Good luck.
Fluids always flow from high to low pressure. The lowest air pressure is right in front of the compressor and right behind the nozzle. You're correct. Path of least resistance is through the turbine blades and out of the nozzle.
You probably won't see this but your videos are the best I have ever seen on KZhead. I come for your personality a d straightforwardness, the good content is just a wonderful extra!!
I am recovering g from surgery and your videos are getting me through!
Thank you so much for the kind words and I sincerely wish you a speedy recovery
4:07 yes, rotor speeds up air(static p falls, dynamic rises,) and stator slows down air(static rises , dynamic falls) and overall pressure rises
This was great, thank you for providing the content you've been putting out. I hope you keep working on whatever inspires and excites you because it's always more fun to experience something from someone who truly enjoys what they're doing rather than performing a task to satisfy the masses. Just a note though, the turbine is still made incorrectly as the fins should be oriented in the opposite direction - the "scoops" on the blades should be nearly perpendicular to the incoming flow of exhaust gases and oriented with the "easier path" (i.e. slope) being towards the rear of the engine.
I thought briefly you were saying "writing" instead of riding. Riding yes, i also am interested in riding. Writing did connect though, i perceive you as thoughtful, analytical, thorough, gentle as well as articulate and writing 4 answers made sense for a minute and i thought "questions 4 answers" Ill keep following your work, thanks as always for quality effort :) and keeping it real for us and yourself
I started another channel, and put everything that I wanted onto it. Then I had one video go crazy with views and suddenly people didn't like my content as much. I have a bit over 350 subscribers on that channel because of that one video. So, I talked to someone who pointed out that my content was too vastly different, and would draw a completely different audience. Because of that, I opened up a second channel (and I am planning to work on one or two more) to have those desperately different types of content separately listed. I also renamed my channels, but that was semantics and advertising. Congratulations on realizing you are in a pickle. I hope that you create more awesomely great content. You are doing a wonderful job! Keep up the good work!
Hey, it's your channel, you can experiment however you want. I hardly kept back tears of joy when I saw a video with a motorcycle! Keep on doing whatever the hell you want!
Hey, you just mentioned the best channel name ever (24:48) - The Nut Job Channel! :D
its not about the content, the the personality that makes the content. we in this channel are fellow enthusiasts, im not sure what, but we share something we all like. its not engine, its not physics, for me its like u r my knowledgeable friend, we both like same things, but u know more than me, and your videos are our conversations. im not sure how to wrap this up i just started typing . . .
Makes sense! Thank you
1. Driving 4 fun / experience 2. I really like not algorithm friendly videos! 3. I think spin-off channels is the answer, because yes customer are accustomed to specific topics, and if you change the topic it will be bad. Of course remember to advertise your spinoff on main channels, because sometimes when someone says "it's on my secondary channel" but it's a pain to rind it!
Riding for answers! Love it
I really enjoy your videos💪🏻👍. Another channel where you can feel more free sounds like a smart idea. I will keep watching your videos as long as you keep posting without a paywall.
