Finally! The external combustion engine has arrived!
-
Your car is 100% efficient, it's just also ever so slightly heating up your room.
-
There is something incredibly funny about your durdling little car at the end that manages to be sopping wet, made of cheap plastic, and on fire, all at the same time.

50 years ago, for a high school science project, I cobbled together a toy car with an electric motor connected to the wheels and driven as a generator, to demonstrate electric braking into a resistive load. With switch open, my toy car went fast down a ramp. With switch closed, the car went slow down the ramp. I give Tom an A++ for an excellent project!

As someone who works with 44awg wire all the time, a trick we use to make soldering them easier is to just tie a knot where you want the solder to go, flame it to burn away the enamel, solder. Works well enough and saves a lot of headache.

100% guarantee the discussion on work applied via the push or through the ramp will be a regular question on physics exams now. You even had me scratching my head until you broke out the force arrows, awesome demo!
-
How it evolved from nothing into absolute silly invention just because is so amazing. Love it
-
This video is such a great example of how great it is to live in the 3D printed prototyping era.
-
As a retired Engineer, I've always really liked your videos. This one is very interesting. Thank you.
-
That generator trike is strikingly beautiful AND incredibly fascinating... Bravo mate!
-
This is just a more complicated version of the old "friction drive" toy cars which used a mechanical flywheel to store some of the energy imparted by the initial push to keep the toy car running for some time after you let it go.
-
i love these vids that aren’t over edited and have annoying music. just perfect
-
Glad to see the peltier car final go! I never realized how far away I was!
-
That might be the silliest thing you have made on your channel, which says a lot. Awesome video.
-
I love this video! I am a mechanical engineering student right now, and this video takes some concepts I have learned in dynamics, circuits, and thermo and combines them into two fun projects!
-
Someone should make a scooter with this built in to it. It would not require charging in the usual sense, and it would give a form of exercise to the user whilst still being a viable form of transportation.
-
This is a really elegant and unique way to demonstrate conservation of energy, work, and power. Thanks for sharing.
-
That blue trike looks really steampunk, I want a hand cranked version to ride around on
-
Perfect video to help understand regenerative braking for the Australian GP this weekend.
-
Bro that was awesome. Such simple concepts, so well explained and visual.. I am astonished. Awesome job!
