Hello, I would like to say a channel I watched fondly that unfortunately I do not understand anything when I watch it because it does not have Turkish subtitles then I can follow it follow. :))
I just went out to check my mail, and what did I find to my great surprise?! 😁 I got my Risky Biscuits shirts! Haha - I wasn’t expecting to get these until after August 11. Thank you Tucker!! - I love your channel man! 👍🏻

"Why is the ambulance going so slow?" 1. They are working on a patient inside. _(If you think putting in an i.v. at 80mph is trivial...you are wrong)_ 2. They were carrying a patient with a spine trauma and tried to avoid any further vertebra irritation 3. Rolling a cigarette is easier at low speed 4. After watching you the driver helplessly searched for the "lift off" button in his front panel to catch a shortcut to hospital In case option 4 is true, then option three is likely to be true either, besides it happening a few minutes ago and and the cigarette was in fact a spliff.
Not too bad. But I know you all can do better! What are possible reasons for the ambulance going "so" slow? This apparently mind-boggling question needs some good answers. :) To all EMTs out there - Give this comment a like, if doing a CPR, while your driver puts "the pedal to the metal", makes you feel seasick! Regards from Twillight Zone. The place were inexplicable phenomenons will be disclosed.
rantanplan178 haven’t done CPR in the back of an ambulance in a few years. We use Lucas Devices and unless we get a pulse back and it stays for 5 minutes, we don’t even transport. Oh, and 7. they saw a little animal in the road and were warning people about it. Lol.
@@rantanplan178 I have only done CPR in nice (stationary) hospital rooms lol. We haven't even mentioned IV insertion at 80 mph, which I think usually involves large guage needles! I once saw a patient rolling into the ED, and the frickin EMT was hanging on the stretcher thingie like a monkey, doing chest compressions. She was probably 98 lbs, not sure if that made it easier or harder lol. Either way I'm certain she's helped carry 400 lb people down sets of stairs. Those folks are gangster, and certainly know what they are doing (except for the one guy who put the leads on backwards - "smoke over fire," etc.). Hospital staff don't always show them the respect they deserve, I suspect most of the time they never even get a "thank you," but somehow that makes them more awesome.
Thanks for the shout out but more importantly thanks so much for making the call. It was a great surprise for Greg Anthony Harris and Cynthia. It was a highlight of their trip.
Ideally, a good prop design should produce relatively similar thrust across the span of the blade. That’s why it has a washout or twist. Course pitch closer to the hub and fine pitch at the tips.
9:54 Unless they have odd operations there you won't see them blasting any rock during early morning or late evening (which is when you say you typically fly). Also the blasting experts are expected to keep fly-rock in a controlled muck pile, so higher altitude bogeys are rare and you would likely not be close enough to the ground to be in any real danger. Something to always look for, since you seem to be educated in all safety aspects of your flying, is that those quarry workers will park at all accessible quarry entrances during a blast to keep unwarranted entry at bay until it is safe to enter again (essentially look for those big haul trucks to be blocking the roads and that will clue you in there will be a blast). Cheers
Your videos give me life!!! I soooo wish I could do paramotoring, but there are lots of obstacles that prevent me from picking it up. Your videos are the very next best thing!
Sorry to hear that ☹️ I got hit and then run over by a car, which destroyed my right knee. My landing gear is ruined ( Plus I just turned 67 ) but I'm still going to learn how to fly by using a trike. I still think and feel the same as I did when I was 25 and just had three operations that saved my life (Not knee related) and am on the mend 😊 It's made me more determined to get up into the air as I should've been dead twice over! It's a bit cold hear in Victoria Australia, but as soon as the weather warms up, I'm going to pay to go up as a passenger and then (If I don't FREEK OUT!!) I'm getting lessons.😜 I don't reckon your ever to old to try something new! GOOD LUCK MATE! Don from Daun Unda :)
seeing you fly over those crops just gave me an idea us farmers should use paramotor's to fly over our crops so we can check out parts of the crop we can drive or walk to.
I'm wondering if they make a reduction drive that is more advantageous to the 135 cm blades. At some point either the engine doesn't have the power to spin the longer prop, or the tips go supersonic because of a wrong drive ratio. I'm sure somebody smarter than me has the answer to that one.
Tucker you're tee's are the highest quality I've ever seen. Love my hat too. Always watching you and jaclyn great videos and narrations. Go-ooo Jaclyn 🤣😜😋
Used to get notification for Luke Thomas's pod Morning Morning Analyst which cut the last word in half. Shit like this may seem stupid but it will make your day.
Big fan of the page. Great videos and content so much so that I've just started to learn how to fly a paramotor. All the way from the UK keep up the good videos.
The majority of thrust is generated at 75% of PCD. So on a 130cm prop, this point would be at 97.5cm and 101.25cm on the 135cm. The tips generate very little thrust. It's the swept volume at a larger diameter through cleaner air. Thanks for this video, Tucker. I'd lover to use a 140cm but my frame will only accommodate a 135 max.
How do the pitches of the various propellers compare? Generally, low pitch propellers work better for climbing, as they allow the engine to reach full RPM. But for cruise, higher pitch propellers are better (preventing the engine from overspeeding and improving fuel economy).
You need to build a test fixture to measure thrust from the different props, like a mechanics creeper connected to a fish scale so you can stand off to the side so they all have clean incoming air, measure 2,3,4 blade setups and different diameters, then record the data. You could also use a decibel meter to record noise level. ETA: I would also record tachometer readings.
When you are running a full arrest and need to check a heart rhythm before shock, at least in my EMS system when I was still working, we had to stop to take road vibrations out of the monitor to get a true rhythm. But i haven't been licensed in a long time so who know what that ambo was up to. Good video always enjoy watching.
What's interesting when you compare the wing of an airplane to a propeller (which is also a wing) is the lift point. The greatest amount of lift on the planes wing is at the root seal (nearest the fuselage) verses the outer edge when it's acting as a proppelor.
Tucker, Currently, I'm down for the count and living vicariously through you. Thank You! Just to be sure... [In a way that is experienced in the imagination through the actions of another person] Yep! That pretty much sums it up! Lol Thanx Tucker!
Ducted propeller physics would dictate that a tip-to-duct distance of 0.1% of the duct diameter will cause the tip vortices to be dramatically reduced allowing for more efficient thrust. Is the hoop on the Scout Carbon stiff enough to allow this?
Actually the tip produces vary little thrust. This video by SCOUT explains some of the basics of it. ruclips.net/video/6e4x2vj9H9U/видео.html Another thing you could look into is changing the reduction drive ratio to help the engine swing the larger prop better.
Ok, I do understand the shape and profile makes a difference. But I just did the math. And a 135 cm prop has a swept area 10.78 % larger than a 130 cm prop. So that calls into question the definition of ( little difference )? The shape and pitch of the longer prop may take this into consideration. But depending where the torque band of the engine is, the 10% added area may make a huge difference ? In a marginal situation, 10 % more may be enough? And it also maybe too much to allow the engine to reach the rpms to get to the torque band. But the way Tucker was flying, that did not seem to be the case.
Michael Nussenblatt paramedic here, we don’t transport dead people, they either stay on scene or they’re officially dead at the ER. But transporting someone that is confirmed dead is not really a thing we do.
All right. Here's what you need to do. Get in your F250 again and do a push test on each one of the configurations. Then have Jackie O read off the speed. I bet the 4 blade will go the fastest.
It should make a pretty considerable difference, based on the fact that it increases both the speed and the area of the blade at a given RPM. Thrust at constant RPM scales with the FOURTH POWER of prop size. Meaning a 10% increase in prop size would equate to a 46% increase in thrust. Of course, that requires enough power for constant RPM.
Just a thought, but I wonder what it would look and perform like if there was a turbine blade made for these? Similar to the big fans you see on jet engines. I would think you would have much more thrust with a lower engine RPM's .
Hey Tucker, I just was curious. As you're making your low passes over the crops, is there a contingency is the engine fails? At that speed and altitude, are you looking at an unavoidable crash? Would there be sufficient warnings of the engine failing to where you could brake well enough? I've been meaning to ask. Love the vids!
Do they have any props that are variable pitch? And have you done performance t/o to clear a 50' obstacle? I might be asking wrong questions as I'm a fixed wing with no paramotor experience. But I have been interested in purchasing one. Clear skies and tail winds.
Wish I lived in the u.s! am writing from Blighty! Had absolutely no knowledge of ''anything' paramotor before the dreaded covid fiasco started. But for some reason I watched one of the vids on RUclips that flashed up (getting risky over the reservoir) & subscribed straight away! O.m.g! To be able to fly around what ever you can see in the distance, in the way that a paramotor can let you, is like a lifetime fantasy, that I didn't think was ever achievable! I would walk to your 'whacky american country' to be able to take part in this competition! God sakes T.G! Poor show old bean, you lost a tee shirt sale there. 😞 I would be awesome at it!
I had a dream you came to my house to hang out and let me take the ol' scout mobile for a spin in my neighborhood. I was trying to land on my roof but you were yelling at me its too dangerous so i came back down and tried kiting instead. Then i woke up and was annoyed cause it was a dream, and i wanna fly a paramotor lol. But living in nyc its probably impossible to do so with the airspace 👎
Yeah, location is definitely important! You have to be able to fly, takeoff and land safely. Additionally you can’t fly over people. So location is definitely important. Is there any place out side of the city you could fly?
@@xNightHawk32 i would have to drive at least 50 miles into new jersey if i wanted to fly. The commuting and tolls wouldn't really be worth the expense :(
now all I can think about is how to get my dog a paramotor... the paraglider would be so cute and small and we could just do a ducted fan controlled by his mouth. I wonder whether he'd prefer the brake risers to go to his front or back feet?
I am curious if any manufacturers make propellers that have the following Edge sweep like some helicopters do. Doesn't this reduce the noise from prop wash? BTW,your t-shirts are top quality👍
My guess before I hear your answer is that the extra swept area beyond the smaller wing is shaped like a washer. That part of the bigger diameter wing will be going faster around than a comparable washer of the smaller area. As long as engine power is sufficient, the larger diameter wing performs better. Just getting to your peformance test now... The slower wind-up with the larger wing is because the larger torque demand, recall that torque is defined by a force time a radius. 😁👍
Tucker, please be more upfront about this contest. It is for US residents only. So it is a little misleading to say, "every purchase enters you into this contest." The form to enter allows you to change your international dialing code...
Tucker I've been flying rc planes, helicopters and recently the hobby king parameter....I've bought a paramotor and reckon its easy to do...so I don't want to enter for the motor just training otherwise I'm on my own.lol
I see you have the street racers over there as well, burning the asphalt on the back roads. I see accident scenes every week here they lost it and went into the field or into the ditch
When I was in Army basic training we had bunks. My bunk mate was sobbing and I asked him if he had gotten a Dear John letter. "No," he said. "I got a John Deere letter. We been saving to buy a new tractor for a while and the money I've sent home put us over the top. Here's a picture of the new tractor. Ain't she purty. Sniff."
why don't you get the tips made with the tips turned up then balnaced also get a 3 or 4 bladed props done to then test and get it balanced to it will concrete the air and reduce noise and the drone noise well possibley try it
the engine mounts have too much play in them. The blades need to be so close to the shroud that just the normal engine vibrations would make them collide.
@@aaronhorn6849 Yeah, I was just curious if anyone had tried. Always fun to see what people come up with. My own thought is that the pilot blocking most of the intake would make it not worth while, but you never know.
@@gregsteele806 I have seen electric paramotor with 4 propellers mounted on the sides, to avoid having the pilot in front of the propeller. Which make incoming air smoother, so more efficient and less noise.
Since we aren't quantifying anything here with scientific measurements, there is so much more of this discussion yet to be had. For Mr. Gott, it's all "extra" thrust when he already has enough... For us heavier pilots it's a huge difference, because it fully transitions us from not quite enough thrust, to adequate thrust. Think of the 1870's Rockefeller family's net worth increasing by $300k vs...your average middle class family of the time's net worth increasing by that much.
As a former medic...we drive slowly when looking for an address...usually doesn't match the GPS or map book...or when sticking someone with a needle or doing some other procedures that need a careful touch...a road may look smooth...but it isn't when you aren't belted in...all you have are the "jesus bars" to hold on to while helping the patient...yes, you might slow down if transporting a spinal if on very rough terrain or an unstable hypothermia that you're afraid will go into v-fib from lots of bouncing...could be looking for a car in the underbrush...I've done that plenty...hard to see a fender sometimes if someone went off the road and a motorist called it in and said...I don't know...its such and such road...🙄 thanks...
@@TuckerGott yeah, if that's the case...he was looking for a car or motorcycle reported off the road...probably nothing there...someone saw someone go off the road, reported it and the driver who went off the road went home...I've experienced that plenty of times too...love doing that at 1 AM...🙄🙄🙄 love your videos...you're an amazing pilot...my dad flew fixed wing...single engine prop...flying is just a beautiful thing...👍

I don't fly a paraglider but I grew up in Colo. and if you hit those corn plants at that speed you'll be shredded. Good luck!
I think all hurricanes have eyes Tuck.... 🤣

Yep! That pretty much sums it up! Lol
Thanx Tucker!
@Tucker Gott
The sound of the 3 blade is less noisy in your videos than the 3 blade.
Rig a harness and take the doggie up! That would be a great vid.
so if you dont have instagram you are instantly NOT ABLE TO WIN, isnt that illegal? also thrust comes from the entire propellor
I wonder if the connection to social media is a ploy to make people join social media.
I won't be joining any, so I won't be winning.
iSn'T tHaT iLLeGaL
I thought purchasing something would be illegal as contests are no purchase necessary.
NOT A REQUIREMENT!!! Listen to his description. Only need it if you want to hear right away that you didn't win!
Ducted propeller physics would dictate that a tip-to-duct distance of 0.1% of the duct diameter will cause the tip vortices to be dramatically reduced allowing for more efficient thrust. Is the hoop on the Scout Carbon stiff enough to allow this?
I think I saw my shirt in that stack!

@@willybee3056 and the tip gets clean air that is less disturbed by the pilot.
Usually ambulances drive slowly when they have a back injury on board.
This was my thought as well.
There are also other injuries that also require slow driving, but back injuries are most common.
It can also mean someone’s dead cause if they have lights on and driving lowly it can mean someone is dead and is getting taken to the ER
Michael Nussenblatt paramedic here, we don’t transport dead people, they either stay on scene or they’re officially dead at the ER. But transporting someone that is confirmed dead is not really a thing we do.

But for some reason I watched one of the vids on RUclips that flashed up (getting risky over the reservoir) & subscribed straight away! O.m.g! To be able to fly around what ever you can see in the distance, in the way that a paramotor can let you, is like a lifetime fantasy, that I didn't think was ever achievable! I would walk to your 'whacky american country' to be able to take part in this competition! God sakes T.G! Poor show old bean, you lost a tee shirt sale there. 😞 I would be awesome at it!
I had a dream you came to my house to hang out and let me take the ol' scout mobile for a spin in my neighborhood. I was trying to land on my roof but you were yelling at me its too dangerous so i came back down and tried kiting instead. Then i woke up and was annoyed cause it was a dream, and i wanna fly a paramotor lol. But living in nyc its probably impossible to do so with the airspace 👎
Yeah, location is definitely important! You have to be able to fly, takeoff and land safely. Additionally you can’t fly over people. So location is definitely important. Is there any place out side of the city you could fly?
@@xNightHawk32 i would have to drive at least 50 miles into new jersey if i wanted to fly. The commuting and tolls wouldn't really be worth the expense :(
@Jeffrey Blosser i hear that
I'm gonna bet that the extra length is going to really upgrade the thrust versus a two blade.
So longer isn't really better - thank God!
now all I can think about is how to get my dog a paramotor... the paraglider would be so cute and small and we could just do a ducted fan controlled by his mouth. I wonder whether he'd prefer the brake risers to go to his front or back feet?
Hi Tucker, could you tell me what is the pitch on your new propeller?
Tucker, wouldn't the longer blades cause greater fuel consumption? Also, what is the torque like, with the longer blades? Thanks for the video.
I am curious if any manufacturers make propellers that have the following Edge sweep like some helicopters do. Doesn't this reduce the noise from prop wash?
BTW,your t-shirts are top quality👍
Why did the 4 blade was a squash X than a 90 deg setup or ways it just my imagination ? 4 blade would seem to be more a balance design? Cheers
My guess before I hear your answer is that the extra swept area beyond the smaller wing is shaped like a washer. That part of the bigger diameter wing will be going faster around than a comparable washer of the smaller area. As long as engine power is sufficient, the larger diameter wing performs better. Just getting to your peformance test now...
The slower wind-up with the larger wing is because the larger torque demand, recall that torque is defined by a force time a radius. 😁👍
Fun stuff. Gott to respect the Deere...in addition to feeding the masses, it has made a lot of great flying real estate...
WORST title to show up on notifications while your gf is using your phone.
I kinda wanna hear the story behind that one... 😂
I love in ny upstate in the southern tier it’s beautiful here would definitely be a great area to fly
Is that the quarry where the tourist Railroad stores their train cars ?
Great comparison, I’m always wondering about small differences like this 👍
Would love to see longer 3 blade results!
Tucker, please be more upfront about this contest. It is for US residents only. So it is a little misleading to say,
"every purchase enters you into this contest."
The form to enter allows you to change your international dialing code...
Tucker I've been flying rc planes, helicopters and recently the hobby king parameter....I've bought a paramotor and reckon its easy to do...so I don't want to enter for the motor just training otherwise I'm on my own.lol
lmao the bit about bAcK iN mY dAy was too good
Still more surface area on the 3 blade vs a longer 2 blade.
just bought a decal - $5 - and shipping $9.92??? Does it come in a gold wrapper?
Tuckerr!! Does a 125cm propeller makes more noise than 115cm?
Cynthia and Greg are really nice people. Got to fly with them this weekend @flymippg
You’re going to get some birthday cards soon. In addition to my purchases. Lol I have to try my best here. Just read them and laugh. See you soon!
I see you have the street racers over there as well, burning the asphalt on the back roads.
I see accident scenes every week here they lost it and went into the field or into the ditch
If you try the two blade at that length then you should try the tree blade too
Hey, Tucker! Helderbeg escarpment?
Watching this makes me wanna fly
When I was in Army basic training we had bunks. My bunk mate was sobbing and I asked him if he had gotten a Dear John letter. "No," he said. "I got a John Deere letter. We been saving to buy a new tractor for a while and the money I've sent home put us over the top. Here's a picture of the new tractor. Ain't she purty. Sniff."
Hey Tucker, What effect does the different size/type of props have on operating temperature of the engine if any?
Why there are no twin cylinder boxer engines used for paragliding?
They are virtually vibration free.
Big props to you
why don't you get the tips made with the tips turned up then balnaced also get a 3 or 4 bladed props done to then test and get it balanced to it will concrete the air and reduce noise and the drone noise well possibley try it
Does anyone make a ducted fan frame? That could be interesting.
the engine mounts have too much play in them. The blades need to be so close to the shroud that just the normal engine vibrations would make them collide.
@@ericsnyder7462 Yeah, I didn't think it could be done as an add on. The engine mounts would have to be integral to the duct assembly.
Then there is the benefit, cost, weight ratios that make it not worth it.
@@aaronhorn6849 Yeah, I was just curious if anyone had tried. Always fun to see what people come up with. My own thought is that the pilot blocking most of the intake would make it not worth while, but you never know.
@@gregsteele806 I have seen electric paramotor with 4 propellers mounted on the sides, to avoid having the pilot in front of the propeller. Which make incoming air smoother, so more efficient and less noise.
Hello, wich prop is The Best prop for noise and vibrations ? Thanks
Since we aren't quantifying anything here with scientific measurements, there is so much more of this discussion yet to be had. For Mr. Gott, it's all "extra" thrust when he already has enough... For us heavier pilots it's a huge difference, because it fully transitions us from not quite enough thrust, to adequate thrust. Think of the 1870's Rockefeller family's net worth increasing by $300k vs...your average middle class family of the time's net worth increasing by that much.
As a former medic...we drive slowly when looking for an address...usually doesn't match the GPS or map book...or when sticking someone with a needle or doing some other procedures that need a careful touch...a road may look smooth...but it isn't when you aren't belted in...all you have are the "jesus bars" to hold on to while helping the patient...yes, you might slow down if transporting a spinal if on very rough terrain or an unstable hypothermia that you're afraid will go into v-fib from lots of bouncing...could be looking for a car in the underbrush...I've done that plenty...hard to see a fender sometimes if someone went off the road and a motorist called it in and said...I don't know...its such and such road...🙄 thanks...
Very interesting, that makes sense! I saw him still driving slow miles down the road.
@@TuckerGott yeah, if that's the case...he was looking for a car or motorcycle reported off the road...probably nothing there...someone saw someone go off the road, reported it and the driver who went off the road went home...I've experienced that plenty of times too...love doing that at 1 AM...🙄🙄🙄 love your videos...you're an amazing pilot...my dad flew fixed wing...single engine prop...flying is just a beautiful thing...👍
What's your thoughts on the gold 130 with a APCO lift EZ wing?
@6:40 : I remember why i follow Tucker
