I'm in an experimental mood and thought I'd try building a modern bellows system! Will it work? Let's find out! Also, head to squarespace.com/diyperks to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using offer code PERKS
I hope you guys enjoyed this crazy build! It's been a wild journey trying to get this video released - firstly with the delays caused by the ideas that didn't work, and then ultimately by a HARD DRIVE FAILURE! Literally ALL the footage in this video was lost, and it was only thanks to some great data recovery fellows that you're seeing this at all. Backup system implemented now, fyi ;) because of these delays, this is actually quite an old video now (like 1 year) but I'm glad it's able to see the light of day as I think the final result is SUPER COOL! In hind sight I may not have started this project of perseverance, but it taught me such a lot in terms of which projects to make to show you guys and how experimental I can ultimately risk being. I know that basically none of you will make this, but the methodology ultimately settled upon is interesting and might have many more use cases. Either way it makes for interesting watching, so I hope you all enjoy it! ~Matt

Not sure if the video was filmed 1 year ago but if you want to measure the speed of the fluid there are several cheap ways to do it. Anyway, you measured the capacity to pull air out but that's only a half a cycle so the performance should be halved.

If he wanted to use bellows and be quiet, he could copy an accordion bellows. Probably more efficient too, because no leakage. But don't get me wrong, it's a great way to build a very smooth, very quiet, very low friction low pressure hydro-pneumatic cylinder! (Trading high fluid pressure at low flow for low air pressure at high flow)

@@gavinhicks7621 a full maglev has either a traditional lower repeller magnet layer in the bottom of the guide way (track) to "push" the train up or an attractor layer that wraps up and over a part of the car to pull the train up (see the Transrapid design out of Berlin). All maglev designs have some form of LSM, like in this video for locomotion. Musk's Hyperloop is a hybrid tube system, mostly copied from traditional designs but with only the LSM... and only in spots where acceleration or deceleration are needed. He's mostly using tube dynamics to use an air cushion to float the train, instead of magnets, and coasting for most of the distance to achieve an 800 mph top cruising speed. So, technically not a "maglev" but similar.
Hands down, this is my favourite channel from now on. Thank you KZread for recommending me this gem of a channel. Real freakin' talent ♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is so fascinating. The mechanics alone are so damn cool. Not to mention a bit of cheeky making your own SILENT solenoid valves. The idea alone of having an alternating water flow move a magnet who's magnetic field is attached to another magnet moving the plates of plastic is ingenious.

The problem with your motor is that you're using a "AC" sine wave, the only reason it was working is because it wouldn't have been getting a pure AC sine wave but rather a choppy square shaped sine wave. If you want it to work pull apart a cheap DC brushless motor (Battery Drill), keep 3 coils at 120 degree spacing as so there will be one directly on top of a magnets pole and another at the furthest most point from it, all equally spaced. Run it from the DC brushless controller with correct winding conductor size, this will allow it to have a higher load and the controller will sense when one pole gets induction from a coming magnet, will turn the opposing coil off and the new coil on to pull it in the right direction at incredibly high efficiency. At the ends of your fan keep the reed switch but you will probably have to connect it to a relay, preferably a SSD relay and it will have to be a DPDT, this will allow you to toggle the motor direction by swapping the poles, depending on how your drill/motor controls it, if it's mechanical as some are it may be harder.

Motor coils are fine with choppy sine waves as long as the chop speed is fast enough. I think more likely the waveform wasn't matching very well the magnetic geometry involved - that is to say, sine wave wasn't the correct wave to use.

The excitement displayed at the point of his success is simultaneously fantastic and ridiculous. Fantastic because it is completely genuine. Ridiculous due to his undeniably tremendous skillset! A skillset that includes the IMAGINATION to consider this project. His VISUALIZATION of this mechanism prior to building it. Having the SKILLS/KNOWLEDGE to build it. His PERSEVERANCE in correcting his initial mistakes. The GUTS to post it knowing nobody (or very few) will follow his lead in building this mechanism. And finally, the FORESIGHT to post this video knowing others will learn from the various lessons displayed and utilize them elsewhere! Bravo!
If there's ever a slipping issue with the magnet in the center tube, you could try replacing it with a longer magnet for a larger tolerance. Looks solid though so I don't think that'll be an issue, love this, and it's actually really inspiring to see how excited you get :>.
I have a few thoughts regarding your linear motor design: - You were on the right track with your coil spacing. With a 3 phase design, the distance between the centers of coil 1 and 3 needs to be equal to the distance between the centers of two magnets. - You have to use a low frequency, because the motor is a synchronous design. The speed of the coils is proportional to the driving frequency. - With low frequency, you have to use coils with ALOT more windings. The inductive part of the coil should be around 8-10x higher than the resistive part of the coil (At the driving frequency). Note that the inductance grows with the square of the number of windings. - Make the spacers between the coil out of material with high permeability, such as Iron. Stacked large washers should do the trick. Also, add equal sized washer stacks at the end of the coils. - Enclose the coils with the washer stacks in an iron tube, with an inner diameter equal to the washers out diameter. - If you want to take this to the next level, use more than 3 phases, like 7 or 9. If you don't want use washers and an iron tube, you could make your own "ferrite", by mixing iron powder with epoxy and casting it into the appropriate shape.

if there was a way to mount the pc components to the bellow slide in the middle you would be able to use the fan itself as the pc enclosure and cool it at the same time with the movement alone, the air getting pushed out would be the warm air from the pc components being removed as well as cool air being pulled in to cool the components simultaneously. this could be a huge advancement in pc cooling tech if done right!

I've been trying to find a replacement ventilator for my wife's, since they're "phasing them out" in favor of their newer smaller units -- but hers is the only one that works for her [that we've found so far]. Hers uses a bellows with the diaphragm running on a ball-screw. New ones use turbines, micropistons, or other technology, and each have some serious issue that messes up her life, and will likely shorten it.

I really is absolutely bloody amazing that he actually got this to work this well.
4:00 to get the phase of the coils right, what you want to do is attach them to an oscilloscope or ADC and _record_ the waveform produced by you manually pushing the coils smoothly along the rod. Then you can either work out what the phase offsets are from those waveforms, or even play the recorded waveforms back exactly in order to get perfectly smooth motion.

4:05 - This is really cool and you almost had it! I think you're basically using quadrature encoded signal to move the coils in which case you should only need 2 coils instead of 3, space the magnets so the spacing is equal to the length of the magnets themselves, and space the coils so they're half the length of the magnets. The smoothness of the motion will depend on the length of the magnets. I'd love to see it work!

About 2 years ago, when I was really hot, I thought to myself “imagine if someone made a fan that had a single blade that went back and forth”. And you actually had the guts to plan all of this out and actually build it.
i've never seen such satifying movement of ANYTHING😍

This was fascinating to watch. Then to see your excitement when it started to work made me just as happy as you were. Phenomenal work buddy. I think you'll be able to upgrade this in time to work even better. I like your "don't give up" attitude. Well done buddy. I would try to sell these, I'd buy one. So very cool, lol get it.
I think my favorite part of this is that in the process of trying to reinvent the fan to cool a PC, he builds a high-end custom water-cooling loop 3 different times.....
I love your attitude towards your work. With these troubled times we are all facing, my children and I are giving a few of your past projects a go. I’ll keep you posted. Wish me luck.
