How Does A Fountain Pen Work?!
How Does A Fountain Pen Work!?
I do a quick dive into the nib, cartridge, why capillary action is key and why air in and out of the cartridge can make or break an awesome pen!
Hope this explanation doesn't miss much, if so, add a comment below

I manufacture fountain pens in my Philadelphia workshop. Lots of fun machining content on how these fountain pens are made can be seen on my instagram @schon_dsgn

Finally. Somebody that even attempts to explain this.

Fairly poor attempt.
Very good non-technical explanation. One that a non-engineer can understand!

Aw thx!
This was very cool, thanks for the vid! Very informative, and I hope the next one is about how to use and maintain a fountain pen!
Man, thank you for that great and simple explanation about how do fountain pens work
Awesome! Such a clear and detailed explanation. Loved the graphic! many thanks
more informative than most videos, thanks bro
Great explanation. Appreciate the illustrations and showing how it works while talking about it. Thanks 🙏🏻
Thanks for an excellent video!
Very good video. Thanks. RS
Well done! Best explanation I could find.
this is exactly what I was looking for, great illustration
Excellent video!
Very informative. Thank you.
Thanks for the info. Just trying to grasp an understanding of my recent interest in fountain pens and regaining my cursive from grammar school. I enjoyed your teaching, thanks. God bless.
Thanks you helped me for my project 😊
Thank you! This was very informative. I still don't understand why my pen stops working mid sentence after writing several paragraphs, but I know how it's supposed to work now.
great video, thanks!
V good . Anyone can understand the basics the way you have explained .
Good info!
I always wondered. Thanks
Wow, what a great find, your content is quite amazing and of great quality! I'm shocked that you have less that 1000 subscribers. I look forward to more videos, I wish that I've found this channel sooner. -Dominic Quiroga
Best example of how a fountain pen works I've seen yet.. Can you do a video on traveling (By air) with a fountain pen? I understand it's possible to do so if you keep the nib up and fill the reservoir to near capacity.
thank you so much
I don't understand any physics you said. But I understood you.
thank you for your explanation! There's a hole also in the downer side of the feeder, what is it for?

@@ItsMeBarnaby So, I think it is important its role too, or am I wrong? :-)
I am wondering how the original fountain pens (Quills) worked. No way they knew to how to make the slit taper down to a point. Thin knife cut? They worked well enough to start a country.
Near perfect explanation
PHYSICS!
A fountain pen works through controlled leakage. Next question? "What is the leading cause of divorce?" That's an easy one: Marriage. Correction: The tipping material is there to prevent wear of the tines, not to determine the width of the line. Look at a stub nib. No tipping material. The line width depends on the angle and motion. Stubs have a wider line (depending on angles and direction of motion) than any tipped nib. Again, depending on angel and direction, the same stub nib has a narrower line than any tipped nib.

Less terrible than most. Why don't the producers find a presenter that presents himself as someone who actually knows anything, rather than a brainless kid??
Good one. BTW please watch "how barbers work". There's no need to get scared.
