For those who don't see the point in making this. Sometimes it's important to just make something to hone one's skills and to see if it can be done or done by one's self. Why climb a mountain? Because it's there. Whether useful or not, the process was beneficial to the maker and the viewer. The final product as shown is well crafted...and craftsmanship is always to be appreciated.
Cause if you have to ask why, you likely will never understand why. Some people are tinkerers. Y nature, it's just what we do. Obviously this guy is a tinkerer with serious skills!
+bartdereu Yup, you're definitely not alone :) I don't do any machining myself, but there's just something serene, almost zen about watching these videos. The same goes for wood turning and electronics, in my book.
a nice and very intelligent machine - it may work perfectly in a car or a plane - by the way I'm a retired pilot from commercial flights and I see blue skies to this artefact you have created - congratulations from Brazil
Like the build. Have you considered a better solution for venting the exhaust air? those outlets are way too close to the main body to allow the air to escape freely enough to obtain maximum speed from the turbines. (I repair dental turbines for a living btw ;) Edit: come to think of it, some kind of valve system may be best as handpiece exhaust escape pressures are highly regulated and designed to gain maximum performance. This probably explains why the main shaft is only going at 17000rpm
I love your idea of putting a Dremel on the tool post! I couldn't mark bolt circles for toffee but after seeing this, I marked my lathe head and put a scribing tool in the tool post - Perfect results every time, thanks!! :-)
Btw, that little bib on the stock, is because your cutter is below the center line. Going forward in the world of machining i suggest you make yourself a center line tool. A piece of metal that when sat in an absolute position (a place that will always be the same height for the tool post) will indicate the center line for you to center your tool height at. It's simply an upright piece of metal (any metal) that has a hook on the end, the portion where the cutter will hook in to has to be at the height of the center line. When you've adjusted to that, moving it further up will also lift the indicator and show you you're set. Awesome work on the soldering and generally progressing amazingly well over the years. This channel and you have come a long way since then. :D
I thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks for posting it. Like others have mentioned, there's something soothing about watching turning. You mentioned this in the description and it's the same thing I thought as I was watching it: I can't think of a single practical application for this. But that doesn't matter.
its a real piece of art. very good finishing.I really enjoyed this video. I wish some one like you was nearby me, so that I can give shape to my invention, imagination ,n Design. you should continue making these videos. its really a inspiration for many in this world.
He made it out of one solid piece. That's skill. Basically he made a motorized gear box. The geometric arrangement of motors gives the alpha shaft amplified power
Add this to any compatible 3D printer - maybe even delta printer and you have a CNC router. I might try to build one my self, thank you for you inspiration!
I have an idea for it. I had a venturi attachment for our air hose that turned the outward blowing of air into a vacuum, and used it to clean machines by collecting the dirt in a bag that it sucked up. Perhaps dentists can use this in conjunction with their drills and a nozzle attached to the end of their drills that vacuums up dental debris as the drill rotates?
I saw a video once called the most relaxing video on RUclips, or something like that. This is better. :) The minute precision engineering in this video is just brilliant.
You should spin up a flywheel, see how fast it spins up, see how long the flywheel powers a generator before needing to get sped up again. I'd be interested!
This is way cool. Very clever and nicely done. Our old engineer Walt Rozmus, who is also very good with fabrication, would offer his .compliments And that too, is a compliment
When you are using the abrasive wheel on the lathe, you should cover the ways with a piece of cloth. Over time that grit will damage them throwing your accuracy off.
Great disclosure , i bet it's got some torque with the gearing . massive gearing x5 input, what you driving it with how big's the compressor?, hook it to a permanent magnet drill motor. or put a turbo impeller make it's own air pressure once started. one way valve and a generator.
Beautiful. I also wondered about cutting pipe and grinding on the lathe that could have been avoided using saw or pipe cutter. Maybe the clip grooves are easiest there, though, unless you have another standalone rotary device. Some nice new ideas here, I've never even thought of using a chuck to press small bearings in. And that tiny press/puller is so cute. :)
i was thinking of using my solar panels to run a dc air compressor when the battery was charged. and on cloudy days, when there was demand, using a dental drill to drive a small dc generator. then i see this video. its brilliant
Beautifully made, and runs very well from a compressed air supply, but I guess it was made to go in a model. Where does it get its air from then? How long would it run from a soda siphon CO2 cartridge?
Great work. But it looks like the air outlet ports get pretty restricted. If you had a little longer tubes to the turbine inlets it will probably get a little more airflow because the outlet is not so close to the wall.
hey bud, this seems like the kinda thing that would be rad to have a few of them driving a steam punk style RC car. like one for each wheel, maybe 2wd sorta thing or 4wd! nice vids though, love your work!
nice little job, but one of those little turbines would have spun the finished thing at the same speed as 5. yeah, you'll have more torque output (not a huge amount more because the air pressure is being split 5 ways instead of 1 way), but you've not got it driving anything. unless you've got a purpose in mind for it that you need the torque.. or did you just do it to make it look all symmetrical and pretty? nice little project though mate. I'm a CNC lathe programmer/operator
idea for use: use like a KERS in F1 racing but for rc application. use a CO2 canister ( the single use ones for bb guns) to power the motor for a short one time boost.
Thanks very much for this video presentation John. It certainly was a great pleasure to see this, and very enjoyable to see all the effort you put into it. So Pneumatic powered engines, helicopters, aeroplanes, hovercrafts, good scope for optimism for Mechanics, Fitters and Engineers and mechanically minded people. Cheers Matthew
The main problem will be, whatever it attached to this will need to be very heat resistant. Maybe if you can work out an attachment to watercool any drill bit that would be added here.

John Halstead so I'm not crazy, is what you're saying. Thank you ever so much.
It reminds me of a chocolate teapot made by a friend - fantastic in every detail. So well crafted!
Well said
Still, it should have had 5 air inlet to make it a super powered dentist drill.
for some reason i find metal turning videos extremely theraputic, thanks for the upload.
+James Bell same here
+James Bell i thought i was the only one . now i feel less abnormal, thank you
+bartdereu Yup, you're definitely not alone :) I don't do any machining myself, but there's just something serene, almost zen about watching these videos. The same goes for wood turning and electronics, in my book.
+James Bell Same Here
Could it be Taking something Dull and turning it into something new and Clean? Great Video johnnyq90 Thankyou for sharing
+James Bell I feel the same way about jigger removal from patients in Africa.
a nice and very intelligent machine - it may work perfectly in a car or a plane - by the way I'm a retired pilot from commercial flights and I see blue skies to this artefact you have created - congratulations from Brazil
The fact that he did this with manual equipment and a handheld caliper is amazing. Bravo.

you should put all these in a glass case on display and then do a video on your collection . you are an artist of machinery
I love your idea of putting a Dremel on the tool post! I couldn't mark bolt circles for toffee but after seeing this, I marked my lathe head and put a scribing tool in the tool post - Perfect results every time, thanks!! :-)
i have absolutely no idea what you would use this for but it was a joy to watch you make it.....thanks
A giant dentist drill that will give children nightmares for generations... :D
You gave the dentist a new hobby; finally he knows what to do with his old crap. Really impressive partnership of skill and imagination!
It's poetic justice to see dentists' torture tools get their fair share of drilling as well.
Am I the only one that find the cutting really satisfying?
Btw, that little bib on the stock, is because your cutter is below the center line. Going forward in the world of machining i suggest you make yourself a center line tool.

Awesome work on the soldering and generally progressing amazingly well over the years. This channel and you have come a long way since then. :D
You are right. I have corrected the height of the tool by using metal shims. Thank you for the advice ;-)
Wow that is a beautiful work of art and so small and precision - I very much enjoyed watching the build - top job.
+davidrobert2007 Thank you for the compliment ;)
johnnyq90 can u give us the list of materials you used to make this?
I thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks for posting it. Like others have mentioned, there's something soothing about watching turning.
You mentioned this in the description and it's the same thing I thought as I was watching it: I can't think of a single practical application for this.

Very clever, but the sound of one of those dental turbines, let alone 5 of them, makes my blood curdle.
Punaise!!!
Quel équipement comme outillage et le savoir faire ...Chapeau bas !!!!!
god the sound of them makes my teeth hurt T.T oh the painful dentist memories
I feel the same, mate
Tell me about it. It's bad enough hearing one going let alone 5 at the same time :/
Sure beats the old belt-driven ones, though. (My ancient youth, sans novocaine.)
He made it out of one solid piece. That's skill. Basically he made a motorized gear box. The geometric arrangement of motors gives the alpha shaft amplified power
Add this to any compatible 3D printer - maybe even delta printer and you have a CNC router.
I might try to build one my self, thank you for you inspiration!
It hurts my teeth to listen to it...
Great craftsmanship though
Get a dovetail tool holder for your lathe. It will make tool positioning so much easier for you, especially when working on small parts.
you're an artist.
I have an idea for it. I had a venturi attachment for our air hose that turned the outward blowing of air into a vacuum, and used it to clean machines by collecting the dirt in a bag that it sucked up. Perhaps dentists can use this in conjunction with their drills and a nozzle attached to the end of their drills that vacuums up dental debris as the drill rotates?
Very interesting and fine work. Eventually I will get in to machinists equipment thanks to channels like yours
You are really good at making these things.
Hmm as I see it would be better for my rc steam boat with little control with steam flow 🤗 you are Awesome Bro Johnny the best'you are
Was a really pleasure to see it!
dental motors - wow what a great idea
I saw a video once called the most relaxing video on RUclips, or something like that. This is better. :)
The minute precision engineering in this video is just brilliant.
i could watch you making stuff all day!!!
Damn, you can make infinite badass steampunk stuffs
yep, it's all about the visual only
My conscious: Such a beautiful example of mechanical engineering. My subconscious: NOPE! NOPE! NOPE! KEEP THAT SHIT AWAY FROM MY TEETH!
stunning idea and an absolutely gorgeous piece.
lovely workmanship and super cool can you think of any practical applications for it ?
This is absolutely gorgeous
Excellent craftsmanship sir.
I love your soldering technique. I may have to steal it 👍
+lumspond better not, trust me!
great video, but this is not the most efficient way of braze welding!
jhonnyq90 is so good at making parts he could probably sell the parts and get like a 1000$
excellent craftsmanship, beautiful motor

Just imagine hearing that sound when you go to the dentist to get your cavity filled
When you are using the abrasive wheel on the lathe, you should cover the ways with a piece of cloth. Over time that grit will damage them throwing your accuracy off.
I have an idea for a use--- A really really strong bottle spinner for when you play spin the bottle :D
Michael, I'd suggest using a BLDC washing machine motor with a three-phase inverter hooked upto it. Those motors are ludicrously powerful.
Great disclosure , i bet it's got some torque with the gearing . massive gearing x5 input, what you driving it with how big's the compressor?, hook it to a permanent magnet drill motor. or put a turbo impeller make it's own air pressure once started. one way valve and a generator.
Imagine seeing your dentist break out this tool
Looks like it'd make a sick propeller
That's an awesome machining setup you have
This is very satisfying to watch.
Awesome, it's like the Ferrari of dentist drills :)
Love the precision as the final touch when 5 active gears caress the center one
Someone has to find a way of mounting this on an RC plane and putting a low pitch prop on it... It would be so freaking cool :D
It was amazing to see how this was made. Wow
ne işe yarar bir alet yaptığını bilmem ama işçiliği çok hoşuma gitti tebrikler :)

rule #1 for watching johnny's videos
dont use headphone, and if you do try using a low volume
As always very enjoyable and interesting, thank you for putting in the time to make this video
Yes indeed some good work I'm a student in high school that has a class using that machine along with a lath a mill and a circular saw
i think that this motor has a lot of torque. And it works at 15k rpm. it's a little beast
hey bud, this seems like the kinda thing that would be rad to have a few of them driving a steam punk style RC car. like one for each wheel, maybe 2wd sorta thing or 4wd! nice vids though, love your work!
I have a Optimum lathe too, it works so good for precision works
nice little job, but one of those little turbines would have spun the finished thing at the same speed as 5. yeah, you'll have more torque output (not a huge amount more because the air pressure is being split 5 ways instead of 1 way), but you've not got it driving anything.
unless you've got a purpose in mind for it that you need the torque.. or did you just do it to make it look all symmetrical and pretty?
nice little project though mate. I'm a CNC lathe programmer/operator
the little pinion puller thing was adorable
why is it adorable?
+Ivhan De Vera it's so tiny
I'm delighted how you do it.
Can i make a mini plane using this ? It looks awesome, 16 minutes of my life has spent worthy 👍🏿👍🏿
Please answer me ;-;
No, because it's too heavy and not powerful enough for this application.
johnnyq90 ohhh i see. by the way thank you for answer my question :-)) i'm really appreciate that
Trí Bùi Minh :
Trí Bùi Minh better attach a trailer with a huge air compressor to that plane
I'd love to see you make a turbine airbrush! I'd buy one!
idea for use: use like a KERS in F1 racing but for rc application. use a CO2 canister ( the single use ones for bb guns) to power the motor for a short one time boost.
Pretty neat. i wonder if it will have enough torque to get a propeller up to 9-10k rpm?
Ever thought about using Gadolinium and bismuth or superconducting materials in your builds? Compressed air gets cold yes? 😉
Very nice work.
Artist... Just that... You are an Artist
I have to say , that's wonderful machining. Thank you for sharing.
Such a cool motor, great video man
+Miguel Almeida Thanks!
Thanks very much for this video presentation John. It certainly was a great pleasure to see this, and very enjoyable to see all the effort you put into it.

Amazing work, such a beautiful design and brilliant execution.
I really wish I could like this more than once. o0
This was great video. I was deeply impressed by the metal working stuff.
people need to see good ,better,best workmanship and the time it takes to make the impossible done
You took all that time and effort to build something for which you had no idea of its potential use? Dude, you're either crazy or a genius
that is some real attention to detail.....but what is it good for?
Very nice job, congratulations!!!
Your work is really amazing
This is a great very precise work!! Very instructive!
Excellent fabrication!
I want to buy that awesome engine.
I think you should make more of these and sell them around the world.
Why I am watching this at 1PM....rolling metal and something drilled:D
nice video and cool turbine..try no relief cut on top of cutters
+johnnyq90 - "All ears, for an idea".
Seems obvious, a Dental Drill for an Elephant.
The main problem will be, whatever it attached to this will need to be very heat resistant. Maybe if you can work out an attachment to watercool any drill bit that would be added here.
wow....this guy got a fine hand !
so satisfying to watch.
Such precision !
spins pretty quick breh!
What type of brand and model of lathe is this brother? I love everything you do, keep up the good work!!!
Really nice work my friend!!! I like your detail!!!
Miltos Papaioannou Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Να 'σαι καλά!
