I really wish more presenters would take a leaf from your book - your videos are so well explained, you have excellent enunciation, and there is no "excited" background music to distract the viewer from the content. So many producers seem to think that loud music is essential to get the message across, which I really dislike.
I agree with you whole-hearted +Lindsay Wilson. I remember as a child it made me feel a certain way when I watched television commercials. So much embellished nonsense. Entertainment these days is often like one big commercial. This is especially pronounced in American media and production. Every segue is dramatized with suggestive overtones in the music. as though the program must remind everyone 'Now it's time to be excited'!(cue musical crescendo) . Moments later a down turn in the programs pace . 'Remind the viewer this portion is melancholy'.(cue a sad piano, played softly). In a movie it's one thing.... but American culture is inundated in this 'sell the viewer' dynamic. We're 'Told' that original idea's and creativity are a sign of intelligence... but we're 'Taught' suppression of these qualities in favor of conformity and blindly accepting societal paradigms even where shallow and counterproductive.... the entertainment seems to reflect this in my view. How else does Neil DeAss Tyson become a spokesperson for the Sciences in pop-culture? He's a dolt! Anyhow /rant complete. Peace Mr. Wilson.
I find a bit of background music quite relaxing, and makes it easier to process all the info. Just straight vocals can become quite droning after a while, although refreshing after music all day. It’s a two way road really...
I love how you take a simple, everyday object (like your wonderful video on coffee pots) and explain how brilliant they truly are. How often we take things for granted!
I get a bit sad when people say toys are for children. Or cartoons are for children. At some point in their life, that person has lost the grip of their own playfulness, curiosity, and maybe even their happiness. The fact is that the engineering, creativity, imagination and artistry that takes to create these things is astounding and should be praised and cherished by people of all ages and cultures. Much rather play with a soft, colorful projectile than with a deadly one. Thank you for this video. Hope to see more like this. ❤️
First off, you have a great voice for stating how things work. I swear you could be on those tv shows "how stuff works" or "how its made". And second very informative video. I enjoyed the little animation/drawing that helped depict it. Otherwise it would be harder to picture it in my head by the description given.
Bought one of these at Christmas. Spent a lot of time trying to figure it out (without taking it apart). I found it a fascinating feat of engineering. Love seeing it on your channel. It makes me feel good to know the Engineer Guy thought so too.
I am learning how to write rules for tabletop games, and I will be using these two videos as a model for how to develop an instructive discourse regarding a system with moving parts. Brilliant job, well developed, and precisely executed. Well done!
+Claudiu K2 It will, but the inefficiencies in using a foam dart that cant be "spun" for balance and the other reasons would have a greater effect on range making it a rather moot point.
it's a well known fact in the need community that the first dart from a sequential air restrictor blaster is the most powerful, followed be the second then third, because of the power lost to the mechanism
Even more impressive is how precisely they've calibrated the muzzle velocity. Two days ago I took a direct hit to the eye. The dart bounced off my cornea without abrading it. It hurt tremendously for several minutes, but left no lasting injury. My eye is fine now apart from a little redness. Thanks NERF!
there's something so oddly satisfying when those final words are the culmination of genuine ingenuity: "Simply constructed, structurally robust, compact, automatically operated and relatively inexpensive" that's how i want most things in life and i'm happy it really is the natural progression
Love this guy's videos. I especially liked the one where he describes the various kinds of pens and how they operate. Describes how stuff works very nicely too.
wow. My Son has this same Nerf Gun. I was firing darts with it and wondering how the hell it works. I resisted taking it apart to find out. I love your videos. 😊
Genius sir! A boring topic made interesting with an observation that pointed out something few would have even noticed and then explained brilliantly. Truly a fantastic job!
I love these videos. Although I'm studying to become an industrial designer, these videos are well put together in it's explanation and clarity for everyone. It is extremely easy to understand. Keep these up!
This video is really amazing. The explanation with clear cut logic and the visuals made the simple Nerf gun much more interesting than it really is, and after watching this, it was a "more than meets the eye" moment for me !
I owned one of those and I was always very intrigued. I looked in those barrels when I had it, but couldn't really spot a specific mechanism. Thanks for this :)
Fun fact: some genius russian engineers designed "captive piston" rounds, which use the same technology, so that the loud bang of the combusting gas is gone! A supressed weapon without a suppressor! And this was way back in like the 60s.. Not a single other country managed to replicate it, and the semi pistol designed for these rounds is also nothing short of amazing, it has a floating chamber, basically the barrel, body and chamber are all separate and not locked together. The obvious drawbacks to the rounds are that there is no gas for operation, so everything has to be recoil-operated only, which is the reason for the pistol having such bizarre action. Same action on a normal pistol will cause catastrophic failure as the gas will escape way too early and high pressure would be going everywhere. The piston also protrudes outside the case after the round's fired off, which requires the firearm to be designed a bit different to a normal one.
This was a great insight! I got one of those guns this past Christmas and noted the same interesting operation but never looked into it. Thanks for the great presentation of a fascinating subject!
haha!! I got one of those exact nerf guns for Christmas from my mom. I too was amazed that only one would shoot no matter how you loaded it. great stuff man!
I bought this nerf gun as part of a Halloween costume. Being an engineer myself I couldn't help but be impressed with the mechanisms within the toy. Thanks for posting this video! It was very interesting
Here's my question: A Nerf Elite Dart weighs roughly 1 gram. Also, most nerf elite blasters fire the darts at a chronographed muzzle velocity of 21.5 m/s (Actually the golden standard for the Elite line is 70 fps, but I'm using a rough conversion of 21.5 m/s; Hasbro does a good job of adhering to this number with small margins of fluctuation). Kinetic energy is then: K = (1/2) * 1g * (1kg/1000g) * (22.5 m/s)^2 = 0.231125 Kg*m^2/s^2 = 0.231125 J. Through testing, it has been discovered that many nerf elite blasters use springs that require about 6 "kilograms" to fully compress. This is confusing, because kg are a unit of mass, but assuming a gravitational constant of 9.8, we can easily calculate that the force required to compress them is 58.2 N. These springs are usually about 10cm long, or 0.1m long. So to find the spring constant, we divide 58.8 N by 0.1 m and obtain 588 N/m. Then, we assume the spring compresses down to 5 cm (i've opened many nerf blasters, and can safely say this is typical). So the difference in lengths is 5 cm, or 0.05 m. The energy stored in the spring is the work that is done to compress it, so W = ∫F*dx. Since for springs, F = kx, integrating this we get W = (1/2)kx^2. Great, so let's plug in the numbers, the potential energy stored in the spring in then: PE = (1/2) * 588 N/m * (0.05 m)^2 = 0.735 N*m = 0.735 J. WAIT WHAT?! Only 31% of the energy stored in the spring ended up in the dart? (0.231125/0.735*100%=31.44557823). Where did the other two thirds of the energy go? I understand some energy is lost to friction, and some in making the fluid (air) move through the various inner parts, etc. But two thirds of the energy? Wasted? Really? That seems pretty high, am I missing something? EDIT: I just finished reading over my Thermodynamics book, a class that I have to re-take, so feel free to use advanced terms like Exergy destruction and entropy generation in your explanation. EDIT#2: Also, the o-ring in the plunger is pretty tight, so even with a ton of lube the energy required to combat that friction must be high. The friction losses are starting to make more sense...
From an engineering perspective, this is an amazing design.. as a toy.. not so much.. the problem is that the valve springs are strong enough to push darts out of the chamber, hence it's very easy for darts to fall out while you're running with them. Especially if you have used darts instead of fresh ones. Down with Smart AR Blasters!!!
Thank you Bill, you restore my faith in humanity, humans are not naturally scientists, we certainly fail as politicians, but at least we are reliably produce good engineers.
I’ve always wondered this.. the beauty of RUclips is that if you’ve thought about it most likely 100 other people have also and maybe one just one of those people made a video .. Beautiful
Probably one of the very few times the first tenant of engineering can be broken. You can get it cheap, you can get it fast, and you can get it good. Now you can have all three.
two vids in two days (well, technically 2 vids within 16 hours of eachother)! me really likey! it'd be awesome to see a more frequent stream of these vids. please, keep up the awesome work, sirs
Very nice video, but it is not clear what holds the spring valve pressed when the dart is in the barrel. My guess is: The dart has sufficient static friction inside the barrel to hold the spring valve pressed. Once the air forces in the barrel it adds up to the force of the spring and exceeds the static friction. Normally, the dynamic friction coefficient is smaller than the static and the dart is ejected. Someone can tell if my guess is right?
+Renato Gardiman Yes, the barrel constricts slightly at its deepest part. This squeezes the dart lightly and hold it in place. The force of this static friction is greater than the force of the spring in the valve.
Renato Gardiman You guys are ruining it, there's reportedly a little group of miniature trolls with ropes and pirate ship anchors and fairy dust and stuff holding the valve spring, Any three year old that has almost shot their Eye out will tell you so!!!!!! Hahaha ha ha
I love how the mind of a engineer works. Most people would have just seen a simple toy but an engineer wants to run tests to figure out how it works, take it apart and even look up the patent.
Absolutely terrific, this and all the other engineering videos. Clear, specific, informational. Always feel as if I've learned something after stopping in here.....hopefully, it will function as an intellectual offset for all the mindless time spent at Hydraulic Press Channel.
Just found out about the channel recently. You remind me of my father, he's a civil engineer and he always talk about how stuff works much like you do hahaha. I've already subscribed and gave thumbs up for many of your videos. Awesome channel!
Everybody gangsta in the nerf war until this dude learns how to fire all 3 darts at once
There’s a whole community that makes nerf stuff stronger and cooler, and there’s things that do like 9 darts

remove the smart ar system, but that tends to not go too well. Just get a sledgefire, does the same thing

So that's why it screws up when I mess up putting the darts in..definitely something to keep in mind.

Instant 10/10 because he called it a blaster and darts
Here's my question:
A Nerf Elite Dart weighs roughly 1 gram.
Also, most nerf elite blasters fire the darts at a chronographed muzzle velocity of 21.5 m/s (Actually the golden standard for the Elite line is 70 fps, but I'm using a rough conversion of 21.5 m/s; Hasbro does a good job of adhering to this number with small margins of fluctuation).
Kinetic energy is then:
K = (1/2) * 1g * (1kg/1000g) * (22.5 m/s)^2 = 0.231125 Kg*m^2/s^2 = 0.231125 J.
Through testing, it has been discovered that many nerf elite blasters use springs that require about 6 "kilograms" to fully compress. This is confusing, because kg are a unit of mass, but assuming a gravitational constant of 9.8, we can easily calculate that the force required to compress them is 58.2 N. These springs are usually about 10cm long, or 0.1m long.
So to find the spring constant, we divide 58.8 N by 0.1 m and obtain 588 N/m.
Then, we assume the spring compresses down to 5 cm (i've opened many nerf blasters, and can safely say this is typical).
So the difference in lengths is 5 cm, or 0.05 m.
The energy stored in the spring is the work that is done to compress it, so W = ∫F*dx. Since for springs, F = kx, integrating this we get W = (1/2)kx^2.
Great, so let's plug in the numbers, the potential energy stored in the spring in then:
PE = (1/2) * 588 N/m * (0.05 m)^2 = 0.735 N*m = 0.735 J.
WAIT WHAT?!
Only 31% of the energy stored in the spring ended up in the dart? (0.231125/0.735*100%=31.44557823).
Where did the other two thirds of the energy go? I understand some energy is lost to friction, and some in making the fluid (air) move through the various inner parts, etc.
But two thirds of the energy? Wasted? Really?
That seems pretty high, am I missing something?
EDIT: I just finished reading over my Thermodynamics book, a class that I have to re-take, so feel free to use advanced terms like Exergy destruction and entropy generation in your explanation.
EDIT#2: Also, the o-ring in the plunger is pretty tight, so even with a ton of lube the energy required to combat that friction must be high. The friction losses are starting to make more sense...
ZPERO
That was nice to read
Clever design! Good engineering will never go out of style...
What a simple, yet truly ingenious desing. This almost makes me want to buy a NERF gun

Especially if you have used darts instead of fresh ones. Down with Smart AR Blasters!!!
Actually the springs are very weak and there is a rod shown that goes inside the dart that holds it in.
Where has this channel been all my life.
Very clever design, also many pneumatic safety valves operate on similar principles to detect mis-operation.

This shows that engineering doesn't have to be complicated.
Very nice video, but it is not clear what holds the spring valve pressed when the dart is in the barrel. My guess is:
The dart has sufficient static friction inside the barrel to hold the spring valve pressed. Once the air forces in the barrel it adds up to the force of the spring and exceeds the static friction. Normally, the dynamic friction coefficient is smaller than the static and the dart is ejected.
Someone can tell if my guess is right?
+Renato Gardiman Yes, the barrel constricts slightly at its deepest part. This squeezes the dart lightly and hold it in place. The force of this static friction is greater than the force of the spring in the valve.

You guys are ruining it, there's reportedly a little group of miniature trolls with ropes and pirate ship anchors and fairy dust and stuff holding the valve spring,
Any three year old that has almost shot their Eye out will tell you so!!!!!!
