Thanks for an informative vid. There are really a whole bunch of stuff in those magazines that could be of use for fun projects. I wonder for what purpose you use your workshop normally! It's pretty darn well equipped!

Someone should make a line of bicycles for exercise that are intentionally inefficient in odd ways.

Hot damn these hand drawn animations make these episodes feel next level! All the extra work is worth it. Turn on channel memberships, let us support these videos! Thanks as always for all the thoughtful explanations and definitions sprinkled throughout.

The propeller blade needs to be shaped more like an airplane propeller, which is more like a wing that generates lift/thrust by virtue of its shape in addition to it's angle. Also, if there was a ring around the outside of the propeller, air would not escape off the ends of the blades, but would be forced out the rear, also increasing thrust.

You literally run a production house, from inventory to manufacturing, from filming to editing, it's a class apart... Loved it

The inclusion of the fog machines to show the airflow was awesome! <br>And it also made for great videography.

Aircraft Mechanic here: You might benefit from balancing the propeller so as to avoid un needed vibration. And while the source material did not do this, it might be worthwhile to consider making the prop blades into an airfoil.

Hehe. The Glastonbury Zodiac! What's not to love. I appreciate you digging through all the old magazines, looking for cool ideas. I have a pretty big collection of old engineering and hobbyist books and magazines dating from the 50s to the early 90s on my shelves as well. As a source of knowledge they have mostly been forgotten. I think it's great that you bring some of it back into the spotlight.
