You missed one important thing. Notice the lack of metal hitting metal when you are operating the file. The spaces at the end of the cylinder compresses the air, creating a cushion, like a spring, help sending the piston back.

10:40 "this is air"... "this isn't air" I chuckled heartily

I used to make gold granules for my dad who is a gold smith. the method for making these is actually very simple. I would alloy the gold from gold, silver and copper casting grain in a crucible using an acetylene torch, then I would poor the gold into an ingot mold. Once it cooled, I use a rolling mill to roll the long ingot into a thick square wire. then I file one end down and draw it through a draw plate until its very very thin. every other draw I would anneal the wire and pickle it. my draw plates only go down to .25mm, however I could probably have a smaller done on an edm machine. then I wrap that wire around a specific diameter mandrel. I have a tool that allows me to cut that coil down the middle effectively making equal size rings. I arrange the rings onto a piece of charcoal that has small indents. I use a smaller tip on the acetylene torch to melt the rings and due to the surface tension they ball up into perfect equally sized spheres. Once these granules are made, my dad would use a glycerin glue to arrange them onto a piece of fabricated jewelry. Then using a small kiln and the torch he would fuse the granules together and onto the piece. the process is the same for brass, however its much easier because you don't have to manually arrange the granules, and you just pour them into a mold and heat it in an oven.

So thew company I work at has oodles of pneumatic cylinders to push product around. I recently found out about those bronze meshscreen things as well, and have been stealthily replacing them with the little plastic thing in airhorns that makes 'em go toot. Work has become a lot funnier lately :D

@anvilshock to protect my identity, I will not be providing evidence, but I can assure you, I have done this. Okay to be fair, it's not the cylinders themselves that I screw the airhorn bits back into, it's the pneumatic switches (the thick plastic thing with a solenoid on one end to computer control the airflow), which have several in and outlets, and it's got a pair that lets out overpressure when cylinders actuate in the "push direction" and "pull direction". All the switches are nicely clustered together, and I took care to get a few airhorns with different pitched tones. tldr; It's quite an orchestra.

These videos are so packed with dry humor, I have to keep my moisturizer nearby when watching them! Seriously, though, can't stop laughing!

Always eager for a new TOT production. And on that note, you've come a long, long way from the early days of the hydraulic press build. TOT, always entertaining and occasionally informative.

Thank you for all your efforts and please keep 'em coming.

Glorious glorious spool valves.

Hey Tony, small correction here: the piston doesn't *need* to hit the ends of the cylinder, although it probably does on occasion, a little bit... Newton's 3rd law provides that when the piston moves forward, the air is also pushing against the opposite wall of the cylinder, and starts moving it in the opposite direction... so the piston serves as a mass that works like an oscillating counterweight to the cylinder. If it really did slam into the end, you'd be hearing it when running the file. Your best improvement might come from drilling a few holes in the piston (without breaching the airways) and pouring molten lead in it... assuming it's only hardened on the sliding surfaces that is. Great videos! Thanks!

😁good Kitty!

Does the piston actually smack into the walls of the cylinder on each stroke? Seems like that'd cause a lot of noise, wear and tear, and wasted energy. It kinda looks like the piston will uncover the "go the other way" hole long before it hits the wall, so it might just be that the piston vibrates back and forth inside the cylinder, and the air pressure pushing on the ends of the cylinder makes it vibrate forth and back. The cool thing about designing it this way would be that if the piston weighs about the same as the cylinder, since one's always going forward while the other's going backward, there's no net momentum and no recoil, so you won't feel (much) vibration when you hold the tool.

@texasman1836

Also, I suspect that the air trapped on either side of the piston would give it a spring action as it's compressed.

@coffebreak2

5 жыл бұрын

Jason Goodman I think you are right, or at least with some design you could attempt to do so. Maybe that is the reason why there is the maximum prescribed pressure, not because the tool would burst but because the higher pressure would make the piston slam the end stops. You could test this drilling some vent holes in one side, or both, if the sound changes there is an inpact.

Yup, that's almost certainly exactly how it's intended to work. Note that this only works properly if the weights balance, which means the file needs to weigh the right amount. Which is probably another reason ... er, justification ... for the "don't use other files" rule. There shouldn't be any recoil in any case, since nothing much is pushing on the file body.

every single video you post is an absolute gem

Ron, don't blame the player; blame the game. Watch AvE's older video on drilling/broaching a square hole to see what he is like when your wish comes true. This is a video, before there were vijayos. It's not AvE's fault that KZread spews buckets of money at him for making 30 minute dick jokes. He learned what kind of audience you need to make hundreds of thousands of dollars on KZread and Patreon, then he said "hold my beer." Thus, Uncle Bumblefuck was born. I consider it performance art by a smart man. The art of the Canadian dick joke. Cockfordollie == Dick jokes for dollhairs.
