  That last one was SO COOL! Makes me want to see a gigantic LEGO plane using turbines at that scale, even though there&apos;s zero possible chance it would actually work. <i>Or would it?</i> (V-Sauce music starts playing)

  At the moment, all your air-based turbines are letting too much air pass through without it doing any work. My tip is to makes sure the walls of the housing are as near as possible to the turbine and also have the air push on the blades for longer periods of time. I have a design that resembles a supercharger with two twinblade turbines that are geared together that can reach around 7k rpm with my pretty weak vacuum cleaner. One final tip is also to seal up the housing with some tape so there isn&apos;t as much air leaking out

  The compressors needed to be sealed to make the jet to work waaay better, because they weren&apos;t closed off, they were just dead weights...

  The steam propelled thing was a bit inefficient. The flaps were pointed the wrong way. The way it was placed meant the steam has a better chance sliding right of the flaps and the air gets caught by the flaps’ “bucket” when rotating, slowing it down.

  Actually, water wheels were used to crush thinks like grain so that farming was more easier, not generate electricity although I do think their used in dams to generate electricity.

  the water wheel was not used to generate electricity back in the day.... it was used to run a saw blade for a saw mill or rotate a huge stone to grind things like wheat into flour.

  My energy meter doesn&apos;t work either, so it&apos;s not just me 😅. Great video though! I was surprised at how well some of these worked!

  &quot;I did not expect that&quot;<br>Yeah, who could&apos;ve thought that the technology that creates like 90% of world&apos;s electricity would work so well...
