Another great video. That said, please reconsider (not) using graphite on air-powered equipment given graphite/graphite dust is carcinogenic. Plus, it tends to be incredibly messy. A much better alternative (for this particular application) would be to use a silcone based lubricant. Nothing personal, and not trying to be the "safety police" I just want to see everyone enjoy a heathy life, for as long as possible.
I have recently bought a diesel heater for camping and like everybody the noise of the solenoid pump is loud, so I got ultra quiet pump it reduced the loudness by 50%👍once had put it into cannister with sound proofing so I thought about a diaphragm pump as the sound it only produced from the metal part within the pump . I have seen a method using a diaphragm pump but it uses a lot of electronics and cost a lot . I have an idea to use a solenoid and diagram pump combined using a simple voltage supply to move 0.28ml per stroke of diesel and hopefully reduce noise by 95% and size by 70% . Wish I understood computers and 3 d print you make it look easy I am more cardboard and bits of wood to solve a problem Think your channel is ace 👍
that is a really nice thing to say mate - i like your idea- i don't think the electronics on a pump need to be that complicated mate - you might want to look a bit further into this - i am pretty sure there are simple solutions to driving a diaphragm pump
@ThinkingandTinkering the one I've seen uses Avery small stepper motor to drive the pump I plan to use the original two wires from the heater 12volt to energize a smaller coil , I have thought along the lines of air valve in design were coil lifts the diaphragm.When i saw you diaphragm pump i will use this in my design .The will displace 28ml per 100 strokes
@@ThinkingandTinkering Thank you, the fact that it's easy to make is a bonus for the not very technically minded , like myself,,,is extremely important to me!! The simple the better, where I'm concerned!! Again,thank you!! ":0)X
I have a 600 HP valve like that, only its totally engineered to completion and has actually been used in the past. Right this moment, its stored on a shelf, waiting for me to make a new system to use it on,
I printed out the diaphragm piston and been experimenting with it, I am now experimenting using a bicycle inner tube to replace the glove as I'm hoping that I can avoid the graphite by making a larger space between the piston and cylinder in the hope that the pressure can be raised to 28psi.
I would expect the machine to work far better with a pressure input than a vacuum input. The rolling piston requires a positive pressure to keep the rubber diaphragm surfaces separated. When pressurized the rubber surfaces never contact each other.
Hey brother, something has been on my mind in regards to redox flow/ static batteries, and my research dead ends quickly in regards to the issue. (Kinda) I'm looking for a multi_stage redox couple.. not necessarily a simultaneous unit, which is what I find via research. But more like wonder chemical A breaks down to create zinc bromide and of course further breaks down into a typical know cell. I can understand that a multi_stage simultaneous system should be hyper complex and issue would/will occur but in the system I describe everything is simply trying to go back to neutral, just like a single stage metal- halide. Do you have any comments on this?
I get a sense you might be over-complicating it mate - to control a reaction so that it proceeds in stages is quite a task - you find it quite a lot in organic chemistry - but the requirements are onerous and yields are typically in the few tens of percent - I can't think of an inorganic couple but organic couples would be things like the quinones maybe
@ThinkingandTinkering thanks a lot, I don't really have people around me to ask such questions! I knew (knowing your teaching) that if you were to respond you would attempt to dis wade me from over complicating. But almost everything you've taught in it's most simplistic form, starts in a more complicated fashion. Okay it's the hard way and may yield nothing but sir ,you put this passion in me and I will at least try... my lack of formal education slows me but has never stopped me. If anything sometimes the seemingly silly questions offered the best results.
Rotary valves are neat but sealing them without impeding movement greatly via friction has always been a mystery. Don't recall you doing much on valve seals for the DIYer. Might be a topic to investigate.
Hi Robert please watch the demonstration of The Ecat NGU LENR system charging a Twizzy EV while driving. There was two identical Twizzy EV but one without the Ecat which had almost a full charge and a Twizzy EV with the Ecat system with I believe 63% charge. After an hour of driving on a race track the Twizzy EV without the Ecat died from no charge while the Twizzy EV with the Ecat went on for 5 hours and the demonstration was stopped because it could of continued for up to 11 years with only a few grams of fuel. At the end of the demonstration the Twizzy EV with the Ecat had a I think 87 or 83 % charge, but more then it started with. The Ecat is a LENR system Low Energy Nuclear Reactions and the fuel for the Ecat is tiny amounts of nickel, hydrogen, lithium and unknown minerals. There is enough fuel for the Ecat already mined each year to power the world. On October 28 2024 history was made and now all efforts are on manufacturing and it’s very easy to build, you could build one with ease Robert and there are several other LENR companies like Brilouin Energy and others all around the world. LENR uses no harmful fuels and does not emit harmful radiation only dry steam and with the Ecat electric power for anywhere in the world and it can produce power at 25% the cost of coal if the first estimates were right back in 2011.
@@ThinkingandTinkering I'm sorry for asking, but in your opinion and with your knowledge,,, I truly trust you,,, what do you think about this Ecat and LENR?! Is it another one of those hoaxes?! Thank you very much!! 💞
Based on their paper: average coefficient of performance (COP), as the ratio of output and input energies is "54". Perpetum mobile x 54. So 100W power source of 12V which last 3 years is using 10g of Lithium, 50g of Nickel, weight 300g, size 6x3x10 cm, cost 250$, able to recycle, If they would be able to make it cheaper it can be interesting. 🙂
I followed Rossi for many years. Eventually gave up because he kept changing the goalposts. I'll wait until a totally independent replication is made using only publicly available information with no help from Rossi.
@ The October test was independent and Rossi only supplied the system to the manufacturer of the Twizzy and the range accomplished was 4 times what it is with out it. If that’s not good enough too bad
I love your valve mechanism, never seen one like that before. I wonder if it would be possible to put the valve on the crankshaft and reduce the part count further.
Also you don't need 2 pipes going to the top of the cylinder. You should reduce those 2 into 1 as soon as possible after the valve, otherwise you're wasting efficiency pressurising (or in your case "vacuuming") the pipe that isn't connected to anything.
So cool. Can you make make a look to x engine from Liquid piston company. Is like Wankel engine. I think a 3D printed x engine variant powered by air will be awsome.
The whole utility to the liquid piston is compression ignition and the 3 detonations per RPM, if you're just using air you should make a normal Wankel and looks up LiquidPiston's patents on their seals to use them for the Wankel as they're simpler to shape and characterize with less exacting tolerances.
What if we use a small co2 cartridge as a "fuel" for input and put a balloon - as we are thinking about reducing co2 emission - on the output to catch it. I mean, in this configuration i don't see any variable (except the counterforce when -or how - the ballon is "reacting" to streching) that would affect the efficiency - in other words no real open air exhaustion is required - so we also prevent our emission with capturing and the captured co2 can be recompressed. Of course, a one way valve is needed. Or am i silly? Does it worth a try?

I am glad you like the videos mate - graphite is not listed as carcinogenic but it is messy - a silicone lubricant is a good idea

for sure mate
I love that valve! Genius!

Elegant solution - on my Mamod the whole cylinder is also the slide valve (!)
yes i have seen that - not really possible with a piston sleeve diaprhagm though - - but a nice design of valve non the less

I wonder if putting some veg oil instead of graphite on the valves would help it seal a bit better.
grease maybe?

to be honest mate everything is worth a try - even if your original idea doesn't work out - just doing it will always lead to something

I am surprised that you didn't inflate a balloon and used it for a fuel source to make pressure.
