    Coming from someone who has just built his first pulsejet (me) bending it in a roller was hard enough, but to bend it by hand is on another level

    What this video teaches us is: if you have a long enough lever, you can bend anything.

      as long as you can avoid slippage and smacking yourself in the face with your tools :D

    Colin, this is the hardest video to watch but also the most glorious because as a DIYer we do what we can with what we have in our garages. The everyday man/woman inventor doesn't usually have the massive, expensive machines that companies have to do the work in next to no time so we struggle on but make something that no machine will ever make. The imperfections make it a piece of art. If you have a little bit of brain then eventually you can make anything.

    the regulater will be sort of covered in next video and again in the final one (i say covered but you'll see the set up) as for the maths bit the original plans were of a 55lb jet and i upscaled its size so if apply that to thrust measurement it comes to around 70lb but ive yet to do a practical test.

  • @gordonmcconnell1578
    @gordonmcconnell1578 6 лет назад +2

    Of all Colin's videos, I like this one the best.
    Some others may show more insane ideas being tackled, but what I love about this one is the way it shows the ingenuity and problem solving - all the attempts to get that cone formed without using flash tools. Simply awesome, and a glimpse into some of the thought processes that are bouncing around in the mad plumber's head. I'd love to see more of this kind of content.

    you can use either but tig you have finer control and welding thinish stainless control is good. Tig welders tend to be more expensive to so most people have migs

  • @ewingfox6459
    @ewingfox6459 10 лет назад +1

    The most impressive part of this video is just the sheer effort and ingenuity to get the cone rolled. I used to work in a sheet metal shop and I'm very impressed (but not surprised considering the man) with what you were able to accomplish with a 6" bench vise!

  • @colinfurze

    • @justandy333
      @justandy333 10 лет назад

      With what? a 6' x 4' oven? Cold rolling, although an utter pain in the arse will give better results. And you can actually touch what your trying to form. This guys crazy as it gets but he's not stupid.

    • @benvolio1987
      @benvolio1987 10 лет назад

      that's not what cold rolling means. and even a heat gun will soften the steel without annealing it. And no he's definitely not stupid.

    • @justandy333
      @justandy333 10 лет назад

      Sorry my mistake, Cold forming is what I meant. Anyway, Id seriously doubt a heat gun would provide enough heat to make the metal more malleable. once you've heated 1 end, by the time you've heated the other end sufficiently, your starting point would be too cool to make any difference.

    • @benvolio1987

    Hi Colin,
    This is the first time I have seen this and I know how hard SS is to bend because I made a bonnet for a really old Ford and it was a bugger! Love the idea of the Jack and strap though the bend has to be there first so you have something to ‘close right, but with a "CAN DO" ATTITUDE you aways seem to find a way.
