    Love the video, however the things you called fang on the spider are actually their pedipalps, kinda like small hands.

      Thank you, I will admit... I totally knew they were pedipalps at the time, but I intentionally said "fangs" to prevent 100 people from commenting "what the hell is a petty palp?"

    Between the nails going in, the xylophone, and the music that felt a lot like an early Taika Waititi piece. I come out of it just in time to start the bandsaw casino heist. I just found you and loaded up my play list.

    Note: Making a PVC potato cannon with compressed air and firing it alot can cause similar fatigue and make it explode. Dont ask why I know.

    It’s been a year so have you changed the position of the drain valve down to ground level? I ask because it seems the air would blow by the large amount of water buildup (as well as sediment) and not push it up to ceiling height. When I pressurize the pipes in my pool to blow water out this will happen and that is below ground level.

    • @daveman4863

      I'm planning to upgrade the pipe diameter to 1/2" PEX and a nearby downward facing leg to serve as a temporary reservoir, I might make a video on it and other improvements sometime

    Have you thought of making and selling your hangers and clips? Especially since most people don't own a 3D printer. Awesome design and would be willing to purchase.

    This is fun to watch, but for testing PEX you've missed two key environmental conditions: UV and aging. Exposed PEX will become very brittle from UV exposure, which I think would be more prone to sending parts flying. I don't know how PEX does accelerated life testing, but it's probably temperature. Aging would most likely cause the other failure modes happen at lower PSI and lower temperature.

    • @daveman4863
      @daveman4863  Год назад

      Sounds like a good test, where do you usually see UV exposure on PEX? I could try to re-create the scenario

      ​​@@bpdp379 I have 1/2" PEX pipe run around my residential garage and I weld. I've mig welded flat deck trailers, snow plows and repaired and made many different things. Just about everything in my garage has been exposed to extreme UV light. In fact, I had a white plastic bag with about a half a dozen extra circuit breakers laid on the shelf and a couple of years ago I realized that bag had turned to white flakes. I was assuming it was the ultraviolet light exposure.
      The PEX is installed with brass fittings with stainless steel pinch rings and my compressor cuts out at 125 psi. The system has been in my garage now 10 years or more. Matt risinger from the build show actually tests different PEX systems and I think he got the pipe to burst at almost 750 psi? I think

    They're not fangs - they are called "pedipalps" and are kind of like arms with tongues on the end.
