I'm happy I thought of rpm matching first. depending on the load you'll want higher speeds on the generator, so you get more volts and are able to get enough amps through to get the maximum amount of watts you can. (you could also use an "electronic belt", like an inverter or a boost converter, but that's usually less efficient than a belt drive.) btw do you check the power after the variac or before? because due to losses you might be only getting 50-90% of the power reading if you read after the variac, and that efficiency is dependent on the load, so you might have skewed results

In mechanical engineering they teach it as more about RPM and less about power. Though they do teach how it impacts torque as they are connected. Increasing the ratio decreases the torque so it's a balancing act.

@World Academy Of Music I think that capitalizing on existing losses comes after a lot of experimentation. You'll know from the thumbnail when Quint pulls the turbine away from the front of the truck. I was thinking of "drafting" when one car "breaks the wind" and subsequent very close cars use less power to go the speed of the first one. There must be something like that, not to decrease the power used by followers, but to harness some otherwise wasted energy for the turbine. I should say that the energy used by the leader with followers increases. You see the same thing with migrating geese. They have one bird at the point and the point bird swaps with followers fairly frequently. The whole Vee flies faster that way.

UPDATE: Video proving it works: kzread.info/dash/bejne/pnmEpMazpKqzlKw.html 😁 PLEASE READ BEFORE LEAVING COMMENTS INVOKING 2ND LAW OF THERMO... Thanks for all the support everyone! Many are asking about the drag on the vehicle and the overall efficiency, so let me attempt to address that here: - the main goal of this video is EDUCATION (and fun). - of course there is no "free energy" or "free lunch". Any electricity the generator produces MUST come from gasoline consumed. BUT... - the drag on the front of the vehicle alone, pushing through the air, consumes significant fuel. - adding objects (like a big round disc) in the air stream destined to impact the truck should not increase overall vehicle drag (much). - a modern airfoil (wind turbine) is FAR more efficient at changing (harvesting) momentum of wind than a 1978 bronco front end. Given all that, here's the ultimate question I have: Will transferring drag from the front of a grossly inefficient vehicle to the blades of a highly efficient turbine allow RECOVERY of ANY of the spent hydrocarbons in gasoline? The gasoline engine itself is only 25% efficient so that severely limits what's possible right from the start. But I'm hoping once this thing starts to crank out thousands of watts that the change or lack-of-change in fuel consumption will eliminate all doubt as to the physics of the situation. I've wondered about this since I was a fledgling engineering student looking for ways to spend less money on gas. Now I have the means (thanks in no small part to you) to test my hypothesis. I'd love to figure out some way to eventually use the electricity to help propel the vehicle down the road but that would be very expensive and more complex than I'm prepared to tackle. Easiest would be to replace the electricity generated by the factory alternator, reducing load on the engine, but that's only a couple hundred watts at most. For those that insist this would violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, I've already been handed videos of professionally built prototype electric cars where they claimed 8-10% additional range from far more aesthetically pleasing installations (tucked into the nose of the car). If it's a hoax they went to a lot of trouble to pull it off. But like I said, my project is primarily for education. When it's done, whether it works or not, thousands if not millions of viewers will have learned about wind power, electricity, fabrication, mechanics and engineering and that's what I'm all about. Our current education system is good, but we can do better. This is me doing my part to that end. For those concerned about my son getting injured from an airbag, thank you for your concern, but the truck predates airbag requirements by decades. Yes kids, there was a time before airbags and anti-lock brakes when vehicles were little more than an engine connected to wheels and a seat. Some also have noticed my bronco is not exactly stock. Well it's a "resto-mod" I did myself back in 2004 using a totaled 2004 F-150 as the donor. I did it because I love old trucks but also things like cruise control, air conditioning, a collapsible steering column and anti-lock brakes. There is an airbag light on the dash that comes on when the passenger seatbelt gets connected but the passenger airbag from the donor vehicle is resting comfortably on a shelf in my shop. So if we were unfortunate enough to get in a head on collision, it would be incredibly unlikely for that airbag to simultaneously deploy by some quantum entanglement with the wires that used to connect to it. Actually, that would be AMAZING. I think I'll put a security camera on it just in case... Quint

The machining and installation of all of this is worth a watch even if none of the energy efficiency stuff worked out.

This is water under the bridge but a car alternator makes a great brake that you can control through the field windings. You tie the three phases together and it spins freely until you power the windings. Alternators are heavy duty with a built-in fan and it could dissipate 10kW for a while with cold air blasting on it. Great video, well narrated, clear explanations.

Thanx for that mate, many a how to video on youtube has come to my rescue with repairing cars (or atleast made the process extremely straight forward)

Some of us don't own VW Beetles [air-cooled ones; the new water-cooled ones aren't Beetles, they're just Golfs in swoopy body-work...] any more, but still appreciate a bit of comedy attached to a vid about their maintenance... ;-)

One consideration is that a video targeting people who want to learn more about fixing vehicles is only for a very small number of people with that interest whereas just entertainment has no barrier to entry. I don't think it's only that people just want entertainment(though quite a few do I think).

My entertainment is a substance. I love this brain feeling when new neuron connections are growing :v

I've often wondered how a blower wheel in a squirrel cage, fed with reducing air dam would work. Under a car for propulsion., like a HVAC blower. I sure love how you're teaching that wonderful son of yours. Peace and love to my most bestest wonderful people. Excellent video and workshop.

I came for the education bro! thank you dope project man.

Wish I had my own engine lathe.But i'm an idea man mostly. the trouble is when I'm almost done with the R and D and I'm looking for materials I find someone else has beaten me to it sure could use your skills and knowledge.Thanks Quint

Would like to see fuel economy stats with and without turbine to see is it even worth it.

My gut says simply put that amount of gas into a generator. Easier and more efficient.

Thank you. I FINALLY understand torque!! Thank you so much for the explanation. Im taking an engineering course and so far I can understand everything from pneumatic systems to thermal systems, but I couldn't understand torque to save my life. Again, Thank you

I'm gonna say that the hole through the shaft is for a variable pitch prop/turbine

Spot on!

Should be better to tilt the blade towards the ground maybe 20 or 30 degrees and used some ground effect plus maybe better attack on the prop blades, or have a double blade one in front of the other with less blades on each? What about using a screw type tube propeller prop, lying under the bumper you can utilise a ground effective even more. When you make the blade make it like a bird's wing I don't see blades like this where the straight edge has no material Just the leading edge and tail, this should make the Wing faster because there's no drag on any material, make it out of carbon fibre should be strong enough. I'm not sure about winglets is it worth putting winglets on not something I've seen on a prop.

I came here expecting to see a below average build by a person that had less than average understanding of how electricity works. YT has made a pessimist of me this way. What I ended up watching was a great video and even though I am an electrician with 25 years of experience I still learned from you. I hope you continue to make these type of videos because you are very good at it. Thanks 😊
