Todd, don't hold back, blow it up! I'll just build another one. That was insane I think it looked better running on jet fuel than RC fuel. I wasn't sure what would happen, it does have a glow plug and not a spark plug but that was really cool to see it on your channel.
Matt, thanks again for loaning the see thru rotary too me. I thought I'd blow it up but you've done a great job designing it to withstand a lot of abuse! I'll see how it'll do on 100LL aviation fuel soon. Thanks again and looking forward to your next video!!
When steam engines were first built and some time after pork fat Was used as a lubricant for moving parts. It wasn't until a man named McCoy who's job it was to grease up the under parts of train cars, a hard and nasty job, invented a reliable self-oiler did that change (Whale oil was first used in the Oilers then switched over to petroleum based oils as they became available). Many people tried to copy his design but most all failed or didn't work as good, thus the term "The Real McCoy".

I can tell my very own experience: back in the 90's I was enlisted in the Argentine Navy and i was an aircraft maintenance technician. I tried jet fuel (Jet-A1) in my old 6 cylinder 188 cu.in 8to1 compression ratio Ford Falcon and it worked rather fine. All I have to say is that fuel consumption was almost the double rather than being used with regular gasoline, and that it expelled white smoke by the exhaust... that´s all...
I agree, you know the 'science' is real when bacon grease is involved... I love his 'real world' and 'scientific' balance, most of his findings are actually very useful for me to know..!!

I seen a comment saying they like wasting time watching these videos, I’d have to disagree, these are interesting, educational, and fun, no waste of time. Great job done on all I have watched. I thought I was one of the few with so much curiosity. Thanks for sharing!
They use pump gas in the jet engines for land speed records because it burns faster and makes more power. That makes more heat, but they're not making long flights with them so it doesn't hurt the engine like it would if you tried to fly with it.
would run just fine, actually. the only problem with running a turbine of AVGAS for long periods is that lead builds up on the turbine blades, so presumably the only issue with running a turbine on pump gas would be a slight loss of power edit: source, im an aircraft mechanic student and our class ran an old learjet turbine on avgas to prove it could be done
@@ProjectFarm glow engines generally run quite a bit rich. On glow RC cars you can sometimes see a fuel return line (teflon) from the exhaust to the top of the tank, for help in delivering fuel (bit of added air pressure) and scavenging some unburned fuel back in the tank. To be perfectly honest, it makes sense in my head, but i wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't actually work that way.
As soon as you said someone let you borrow that rotary engine I was like, have they seen your channel?! 😆 That being said, you don’t purposely destroy things for no reason, you simply put them to extreme tests for the purpose of education.
I love how the slow-mo view of the carburetor shows the main jet spraying into the intake. I wonder how much more efficient these small engines would be if the main jet could actually make more of a vapor mist vs the liquid stream?
@@David-xo8ci Yep, fuel injectors make a fine mist when working properly. Even the spray pattern is important. The finer the mist, the easier the fuel mixture burns.
Todd, I know you probably have heard this a lot, but I just wanted to take a minute to say that Im glad to see you playing with lawnmowers again and I hope to see you doing more destruction testing and other videos with small engines again. Love all of your videos, but your small engine tests seem to be especially nice to watch. Thanks for your works!

Propane has a higher octane rating than pump gas. You can run higher compression and ignition advance with propane. The great thing about propane is that it's already vaporized before it goes in the carburetor. Great combustion efficiency. The not so great thing about LPG is the impurities that are in it. Looks like chocolate syrup. Smells like rusty farts, due to it absorbing the odorants added to LPG.
@celtic barbarian Well, yes and no... some Wankel engines have very low static compression ratio but have a lower detonation threshold than a modern Wedge or Pentroof type combustion chamber found in reciprocating engines. The Wankel typically has higher fuel octane requirements than reciprocating engines with the same compression ratio.

Please test E3 spark plugs in the clear 4 stroke engine ... Very interested in seeing if their flame kernal does what they say... yet to test one in my rc 1/5 scale Baja so unsure of power gains they propose either ...
fifth-scale productions everytime I go to canadian tire to buy spark plugs I hum and I haw staring at the E3s wether to buy 1 or not. I end up reading reviews on line about them and seeing they burn up piston rings. Never bought them before. Curious to see what they would do too on a see thru engine
CCL Canadiancountrylife In my opinion as a qualified mechanic , I can't see how a more complete burn of the fuel/air is harmful to any engine component .. If anything beneficial , as carbon deposits will be significantly less , meaning less wear and cleaner internals /oil ... Maybe piston ring story's are from people who leaned their fuel mixture out or maybe didn't have the right grade oil / low or no oil in the motor .. Who knows ... Surely project farm will find out ... And me when I try in my Baja 5b..
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel Most jet fuel is No 1 Kerosene. There are some other mixes for various performance measures. Such as freezing. Aviation gas is high octane gasoline usually ranging from 100 to 130 octane depending upon the application.
I think this is one of those topics driven more by common (erroneous) assumption than reality. "Jet fuel" - boy, it sure sounds exotic! But given jet fuel (Jet A) is simply highly refined kerosene, what is there to the idea of 'jet fuel' instead of gasoline aside from a whizbang sounding description for kerosene making it seem exotic? Gasoline has a higher specific energy content than does kerosene - despite the cool sounding name associating kerosene with a 'jet'. ;-).... Thanks for demonstrating and clarifying facts as well as exposing myths as appropriate!
Well put sir. I was thinking the same. Jet fuel is better suited for using in Diesel engines than petrol/ gasoline engines. In fact, a lot of airport ground equipment that are diesel powered are fuelled with jet fuel, BUT....... the engine must be built for the purpose, mainly the fuel pump must be designed to suit jet fuel as the lack of lubrication (when compared to normal diesel) will destroy the fuel pump quickly. It also runs a little hotter than diesel.
sdushdiu, I love when I hear people say that when they put 110 Octane Av-Gas in their car, street bike, go-cart, etc and they have so much MORE power, even though their vehicles only call for 87 octane. You can actually lose power when using such a high octane in an engine that has no need for it. Lol.
But Isn’t Jet Fuel Just Kerosene With Additional Additives 😮😲😮 Oooops it is I Commented To Soon 😳😮😀😀👍🏼 I Did Not Think The Mower Would Run On It 😲😮😲😀 Great Job Project Farm I Love These Tests
@@EricB90 I got a friend who was in the military who did heavy machine/ diesel vehicle maintenance and he said if they had a cargo drop off by plane/heli and it still had fuel(JP8) it go right to the convoy so they could get a fresh load of fuel to go back. Or if times also got a little rough on fuel it may have found it's way in.
More than likely the exhaust is slightly hotter because some of the fuel is still burning on it's way out of the engine. Jet fuel has a higher energy density so you need less fuel by volume to get the same power. This also means that the engine would be running rich with either a carb or a the EFI. I love what you do on this channel. Thanks
Hey, thanks for testing this! I use this stuff in my go kart... as you saw in the video, it had trouble starting, but in A a Predator 212 it starts easier and actually gave em more HP (as the power feels like it doubled). There is a lot of lead in it, so I usually mix it like 50/50 with pump gas.
Are you sure it was jet fuel and not 100 octane aviation gasoline ? Jet fuel is actually kerosene, it is much harder to ignite, have much lower octane and it a have less energy per liter the gasoline. Jet fuel will make less horse power if you get it to run at all in a gasoline engine (most gasoline engines will not even start at all on kerosene / jet fuel). I did one time accidentally fill a 50cc 2 stroke moped with kerosene and it did run really slow and bad with no power at all, after stopping it would not start again until it we filled it with normal gasoline.
I'd love to see you do a spot on the new nanopulse ignitors in one of your see through lawnmower engines. Supposedly, they result in an approximately 20% increase in fuel economy due to increases in efficiency as a result of more precise combustion ignition and more reliable complete combustion cycles. arstechnica.com/cars/2019/06/swapping-spark-plugs-for-nanopulses-could-boost-engine-efficiency-by-20/ Getting ahold of some of them might be a challenge though.
I subscribed because I like the straightforward, unbiased, no-clickbait approach. Your channel and style reminds me a bit of Paul Harrell (gun RUclipsr) to whom I also subscribe for the same reasons. You’re awesome!
Jet fuels name alone give one a adrenaline rush, working on helicopters in the service. And absolutely loving the sound and smell at a start-up. The power intrigues the imagination, unlike the avgas that tends to explode , jp4 when poured out on the hanger floor, didn't want to light, how disappointing that was to find out that jet fuel is nothing more than a super clean diesel. I was surprised that you could even get a engine to run on that stuff. Keep up with the good work, as we all learn something new every day. Thanks
As a rotary enthusiast, I feel so bad for those apex seals on jet fuel, but great video! Ive built a couple of 13bs with my dad, he has a three rotor 20b in his car now. Rotary's are great engines. I'm surprised how well the small engines did on the jet fuel, i didn't think they would run at all.
Glad to see the field drag racing tests again. That little buggy moves out pretty good! That little rotary engine is freaking cool! I have watched some of the warped perception vids as well.

lol. Great point! I didn't smell it this time but I did when I had the crankcase full of nothing but bacon grease
mmm... bacon
LOL just reading the first comment made me think of Steven Crowder's Cenk yogurts parody with the bacon grease
Yes! Back to destroying lawn mowers!
When is the next oil race?
I'll have one soon. Thank you!
Jet fuel is same class as kerosene and diesel, except it can handle very cold temps, great video btw, love your channel and love warped perception!
Thank you!
Please test E3 spark plugs in the clear 4 stroke engine ...
Very interested in seeing if their flame kernal does what they say... yet to test one in my rc 1/5 scale Baja so unsure of power gains they propose either ...
fifth-scale productions everytime I go to canadian tire to buy spark plugs I hum and I haw staring at the E3s wether to buy 1 or not. I end up reading reviews on line about them and seeing they burn up piston rings. Never bought them before. Curious to see what they would do too on a see thru engine
CCL Canadiancountrylife
In my opinion as a qualified mechanic , I can't see how a more complete burn of the fuel/air is harmful to any engine component ..
If anything beneficial , as carbon deposits will be significantly less , meaning less wear and cleaner internals /oil ...
Maybe piston ring story's are from people who leaned their fuel mixture out or maybe didn't have the right grade oil / low or no oil in the motor .. Who knows ...
Surely project farm will find out ... And me when I try in my Baja 5b..
@@fifth-scaleproductions8878 It's not just about completeness of burn, it's also about the duration and the flame front dynamics.
Well if the jet fuel couldn’t even melt that rotary engine, then I guess there’s only one logical conclusion to draw from this experiment.
christ no...
JET FUEL DOESN'T MELT STEEL BEAMS!!!!
*conspiracy person heavy breathing
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_fuel
Most jet fuel is No 1 Kerosene. There are some other mixes for various performance measures. Such as freezing.
Aviation gas is high octane gasoline usually ranging from 100 to 130 octane depending upon the application.
Look at that, a textbook bullshit OP!
Funny person
"This engine previously had Bacon Grease in it"
Only on Project Farm.
Lol, Thank you!
Great to see "back to unsuitable fuels in strange engines" videos Todd , much more like it !
Thank you!
Can you try diesel on the rotary engine? That would be cool
Thank you for the video idea!
@Juan P but if you just keep the glow plug on maybe?
Jet fuel is basically diesel
Oh, what kind of Jet Fuel? JP 5?
Hello project farm was this my suggestion for this video the one for aviation fuel
Thank you very much! I'll test 100LL soon.
Thank you project farm i love this video i hope u never stop making videos
Thanks to your videos now i run my small engines on propane even my tecumseh motorbike
I was one who asked for this. TY sir. That mini-rotary was pretty spiffy.
Thank you for requesting this one!!
The only thing i was annoyed by was how you called toluene "two-lane"
Otherwise an awesome project 😳😮👌 Incredible!
Insane.
Thank you for the feedback
I think this is one of those topics driven more by common (erroneous) assumption than reality. "Jet fuel" - boy, it sure sounds exotic! But given jet fuel (Jet A) is simply highly refined kerosene, what is there to the idea of 'jet fuel' instead of gasoline aside from a whizbang sounding description for kerosene making it seem exotic? Gasoline has a higher specific energy content than does kerosene - despite the cool sounding name associating kerosene with a 'jet'. ;-)....
Thanks for demonstrating and clarifying facts as well as exposing myths as appropriate!
Thank you!
Well put sir. I was thinking the same. Jet fuel is better suited for using in Diesel engines than petrol/ gasoline engines. In fact, a lot of airport ground equipment that are diesel powered are fuelled with jet fuel, BUT....... the engine must be built for the purpose, mainly the fuel pump must be designed to suit jet fuel as the lack of lubrication (when compared to normal diesel) will destroy the fuel pump quickly. It also runs a little hotter than diesel.
That's why I'm impressed it ran. Wow.
sdushdiu, I love when I hear people say that when they put 110 Octane Av-Gas in their car, street bike, go-cart, etc and they have so much MORE power, even though their vehicles only call for 87 octane. You can actually lose power when using such a high octane in an engine that has no need for it. Lol.
@@rachels209 Easily solved by adding two-stroke oil to the fuel.
But Isn’t Jet Fuel Just Kerosene With Additional Additives 😮😲😮 Oooops it is I Commented To Soon 😳😮😀😀👍🏼 I Did Not Think The Mower Would Run On It 😲😮😲😀 Great Job Project Farm I Love These Tests
Great point. It's a little more refined than ordinary Kerosine.
Depends on if its JET fuel A OR B
This Channel Is Soooo Underrated. Love your Vids Keep up the Good Work.
Thank you very much!!
Test butter as oil
That's a must!
Thank you for the video idea!
Careful, Paula Deen might try and eat the engine!
And try Margarine since it's an oil based butter
I noticed you have a private runway. Do you fly for agricultural purposes?
I grew up across the street from a corn farm that had an airstrip, he used it for fun. Had a few different planes.
Just worth mentioning.
"Jet fuel" or dirty cheap diesel which we use in the military
Thank you!
Jet-A is diesel, other types are just kerosene, or other random flammable liquids since turbine engines aren't picky eaters.
In the civilian world, Jet A is somehow more expensive than diesel..
We use JP-8 and F-24 unsure of prices of Jet A because I am unfamiliar
@@EricB90 I got a friend who was in the military who did heavy machine/ diesel vehicle maintenance and he said if they had a cargo drop off by plane/heli and it still had fuel(JP8) it go right to the convoy so they could get a fresh load of fuel to go back. Or if times also got a little rough on fuel it may have found it's way in.
More than likely the exhaust is slightly hotter because some of the fuel is still burning on it's way out of the engine. Jet fuel has a higher energy density so you need less fuel by volume to get the same power. This also means that the engine would be running rich with either a carb or a the EFI.
I love what you do on this channel. Thanks
Thank you!
Hey love your work can you install a shifter kit on the motorized bicycle and run it on pure methanol. Maybe even port and polish the cylinder head
Thank you for the video idea!
Project Farm posts a video with "Jet Fuel" in the title, did the speed of all the simultaneous clicks just about break RUclipss servers?
Jetfuel works better with Efi because its sprayed into the engine
Hey, thanks for testing this! I use this stuff in my go kart... as you saw in the video, it had trouble starting, but in A a Predator 212 it starts easier and actually gave em more HP (as the power feels like it doubled). There is a lot of lead in it, so I usually mix it like 50/50 with pump gas.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Are you sure it was jet fuel and not 100 octane aviation gasoline ? Jet fuel is actually kerosene, it is much harder to ignite, have much lower octane and it a have less energy per liter the gasoline. Jet fuel will make less horse power if you get it to run at all in a gasoline engine (most gasoline engines will not even start at all on kerosene / jet fuel). I did one time accidentally fill a 50cc 2 stroke moped with kerosene and it did run really slow and bad with no power at all, after stopping it would not start again until it we filled it with normal gasoline.
toluene one of the most deadly stuff in 2K paints haha
/Tol u een/ as in the component of dynamite
Also a great octane booster, as is Xylene.

Imagine if it took off after running on jet fuel lol
Thank you sir for posting data in metric! You are a hero to the world.
Thank you!
Bacon grease buildup on the head at 4:00 =)
That is how your arteries look like on the inside after eating a lot of bacon.
Coming Soon: Can A Rotary Engine Run On Bacon Grease?
Thank you for the video idea!

*tOlAnE*
Toluene: Am I a joke to you?
I would not have though all those engines would have ran so good on jet fuel. That see through rotary is awesome
Thank you
I'd love to see you do a spot on the new nanopulse ignitors in one of your see through lawnmower engines. Supposedly, they result in an approximately 20% increase in fuel economy due to increases in efficiency as a result of more precise combustion ignition and more reliable complete combustion cycles. arstechnica.com/cars/2019/06/swapping-spark-plugs-for-nanopulses-could-boost-engine-efficiency-by-20/
Getting ahold of some of them might be a challenge though.
Very cool! I'd love to test them.
Considering that it's an Ars Technica article, you can be sure that it's 100% fake news.
I subscribed because I like the straightforward, unbiased, no-clickbait approach. Your channel and style reminds me a bit of Paul Harrell (gun RUclipsr) to whom I also subscribe for the same reasons. You’re awesome!
Thank you for the feedback
That thing was singing there for a minute. Love it.
Thank you!
I really liked how you added the power tests in different engines!! Keep up great work!!!
Thank you!
Jet fuels name alone give one a adrenaline rush, working on helicopters in the service. And absolutely loving the sound and smell at a start-up. The power intrigues the imagination, unlike the avgas that tends to explode , jp4 when poured out on the hanger floor, didn't want to light, how disappointing that was to find out that jet fuel is nothing more than a super clean diesel. I was surprised that you could even get a engine to run on that stuff. Keep up with the good work, as we all learn something new every day. Thanks
Thanks, will do!
Love your crazy tests. You never know what results will be but learning is a great thing. Keep on truckin!!
Thank you, will do!
This is such an entertaining and informative channel. Thanks for your work.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Dude, the things you do in the name of learning/science never ceases to amaze me. Always learn something here, thanks for everything!!
This channel never fails to impress me with entertainment! Yet fuel, awesome.
Thank you!
As a rotary enthusiast, I feel so bad for those apex seals on jet fuel, but great video! Ive built a couple of 13bs with my dad, he has a three rotor 20b in his car now. Rotary's are great engines. I'm surprised how well the small engines did on the jet fuel, i didn't think they would run at all.
Thank you!
Glad to see the field drag racing tests again. That little buggy moves out pretty good! That little rotary engine is freaking cool! I have watched some of the warped perception vids as well.
Thank you!
PF,
A standing ovation for that video. I like the 2001 Briggs & Stratton engine. The Ryobi EFI , The pinging go kart engine lol 😂. And most of all that awesome rotary engine. We used to run a Wankel rotary engine in our old arctic cat snowmobile’s. 20 years ago and they were old then .
General repair
Thank you very much, always great hearing from you. Hope you have a Great week!
