Making an Auger (feed conveyor) from Washers ...and mathematics!
Ғылым және технология
Here is the link to the spreadsheet I wrote to do the calculations (no signup required): / 41672326
The pitch of the screw and circumference of the circle on the diameter make two sides of a right-angled triangle. Solving the hypotenuse with Pythagoras gives the the length of the helical path at this diameter, knowing the ratio of the inner and outer diameters allows you to calculate the radii of the annular ring that fits both helical paths.

Sir I just found your video and I had to write you. My daughter dose pottery and has been telling me she needs a pug mill, no not the ugly dogs, to grind up scrap clay and I had no idea how to do it. Now with your site she just might get one for Christmas. That saves about $4000. Thank you so much. Keep posting and God bless.
These calculators are all over the internet for calculating the flighting for screw augers yet they don’t match your results. Obviously yours is correct. Excellent video! Thanks.

Yes, I don't know why, but the one I used originally didn't seem to give the correct results and I also could not figure out how they'd arrived at the formula they used.
It's so generous of you to share the spreadsheet. You are clearly a good man.
Simple and straight to the point. Well done sir. I need to produce conveyors for my project. With this video am almost there. Thanks alot.
Great work, and sharing the spreadsheet like a boss. Well done, sir.
Great self taught method! very scaleable. Thanks for researching and developing this
Excelente video, gracias por mostranos tu gran ingenio y ayudarnos con tus magnificas ideas.
Namaskaram Dear sir, this video shaved me from confusion and faulty formulation as well as resources with time in R&D work. your spreadsheet is so precise, effortlessly we can find the exact OD & ID of the washers to make augers (screw bush). Thank you for your initiatives to this video and spreadsheet broadcasting.🙏
Excellent video thank you, a slightly different take on a screw conveyor. We often make them from a single piece of thin flat bar put in an appropriate round tube. One end of the flat bar is clamped in a vise and the other end twisted with a monkey wrench. The tubing helps keep it linear as you twist. The end result does not have the center spindle and hubs or stub shafts need to be welded on, but it works very well for granular delivery or chip conveyance.
Really good info, well presented with a real professional voice. Thank You
Very ingenious, like the way you rotated the auger while welding it.
Nice idea and project. Thanks for posting this. Thumbs Up!
I love your work and calculations!! Thank you!
Awesome Spreadsheet Andy, I used it several times now for different sizes and it works great. But I think I'm gonna send you a step drill for Christmas...lol
I made one years ago. I didn’t know the math and I couldn’t even find it probably due to the words I Googled. I bought big washers from the hardware store, cut them and welded a few together. I then stretched them out and tried different round stock to find what fit. After that I drilled out the washers inner diameter larger to use a larger rod in the center. I then sanded down the outside until it fit into the pipe. 2 different approaches with the same results.
¡ Genios, Thankyou VM !. I was breaking muy head many times to make something like this !. Health for you and your people. Greeting from Córdoba, Argentina
Great Video!.... and the spread sheet is fantastic. I used it calculate ID and OD to help manufacture a wood chip auger in a mill.

Very useful information. Thank you for sharing the worksheet. It will be very useful.
You are a génius man !!! I realy look for that since years ! Thank you very much !
That OD interrupted cut gave me chills knowing what that's doing to the cutter. At least it can be resharpened.

Awesome friend. Great work. One day I will try this also.
Super helpfull!!! thanks for making it available for everyone. Cheers!
thank you so much, with clear explaination & worksheet the best
Not sure what I did but ur pretty smart, and talented. A lathe and tig welder pretty talented.
Thank you so much, I'll use your spreadsheet for my thesis
Great video man! the information is very much appreciated.
Sweet! I've been thinking about this for a long time, for an Arduino cat feeder. When I get the time this winter, I'll definitely give it a go. Thank you so much for the nice video, easy explanation and Excel program. Great job. Subscribed!

What was your method for stretching the helix evenly? I'm having a tough time with gr8 washers. Thanks!
Great job.... perfect tutorial.. 🙏
Very informative! Thnx for sharing!
Thank you much, was what I was looking
thanks very much, worked perfectly.
Master class ! Thanks for sharing
Well done sir thanks for sharing 🤘

@@supersherpa2011 It's just the ID of the helix (diameter of the rod it will fit on) and the OD of the helix (total outer diameter) and the pitch determines how much it is stretched out.
i was thinking the same thing; god-bless this man's soul, for torturing himself for everyone to follow.
Wish I could give this multiple thumbs up. Awesome!

Excellent video and cool idea. Encyclopedia Britannica didn't come through for you, so you made your own formula... Fantastic. Also, what is the music in the video?? Great choices
Awesome. Just a note from a farmer: the flighting on auger screws are rarely seam welded the length of the helix. More commonly I see a weld stitch once per turn of the helix. Good work anyway.

I made one of these augers and drilled a water well with it. I used a 1/2 inch drill to turn it to a depth of over 30 feet...

GREAT JOB

Thanks bro..i will try yours..
Well done!!!!
Best of Best! Thanks!!!
Beautiful
Good job mate
you could do it the old fashioned way. Hammer and anvil. Thin the outer edge and the steel strip curves itself into the spiral. Same tech approach is used in large production; two conical rollers do what the hammer does.

You win the prize! I'm surprised nobody got it sooner! Yes, the third way I was thinking of was just to take a flat strip and twist it into a spiral using a blacksmithing or similar method.
