I decided to take a small break from the 3D Printed Gas Engine project and do something more akin to a Homemade Engine. The EPA is not happy lol

    I love it how he has just dropped the whole "3d printed part"
  • @breme818
    Seeing the thing finally just explode into life was so satisfying after all the other projects running literally off starter fluid 😭😭
  • @fireice1997
    With the way you’re going you’ll cure cancer with a carburetor, bad welds and a 3D printer😂
  • This guy teaches us that anyone can make your own engines. The only problem is that you gotta have the smarts and the correct tools. So can’t wait to see more
  • @UnitSe7en
    A 2-stroke exhaust isn't about pressure, it's about reflected waves. That's why they have to be tuned. Adjusting the length of the system is the primary method. Exhaust cross-sectional area matters, too.
  • @BurnerJones
    2strokes can really be as simple or as complicated as you want to make them. From simple piston ports to reed valves to exhaust power valves to tuned expansion chambers.

    4:40 That "little tool" you made is called an arbor, for anyone wondering. Good thinking for a relative beginner, you're improving rapidly and picking up all sorts of tricks! Much better looking welds these days, too.
  • Now he needs to make a working V2 (4-Stroke) or a diesel engine
  • @NRIQ_nl
    i want you to add an entire (small) motorcycle frame around it, also made out of hardware store parts
  • "You might even say, it's almost good." This is my mood towards any creative endeavour I undertake. Not being particularly versed with construction or engineering though, I thoroughly enjoyed the approach and attitude to this, great stuff.

    DRIVING INGAME AND LOOKING BACK IRL LMFAOOO
  • @operaatio5117
    Thanks for making. Some guy in 2100 finding this on a datahoarders harddrive will really appreciate this, especially after the world has ended!
  • Dude actually went and made the 2 stroke. Was really fun to see it run. It's only a matter of time before you make something like a vtwin or something. I can see it
  • Legit smiled when you had that thing running wide open. The fly wheel yeeting off in to space was a nice bonus! Good job man!
  • I literally just got home from Home Depot and saw this video dropped! And I come with a tip! If you need lots of threaded rod and don't mind it being slightly bent and have to cut it, you can go to the electrical section and buy 10' of it for under $10
  • These videos are absolutely amazing. I love all the skills he's learnt and how almost nothing is bought pre-made. This is exactly the kind of stuff I would want to do if I had a workshop like that.
  • @under_coverrr
    from 86.1K or 89.1K subscribers to now 91.8K is truly something man. In under 2 days is even more crazy
  • Check out twostrokestuffing's video on how to tune a carb. You need to do more than just moving the needle, and the "mixture screw" is an air screw, and is only meant for fine tuning it so it'll idle smoother. Also, a pipe is unnecessary for that thing. You could get enough power to snap that crank in half with just porting and tuning the carb/ignition.
