I lasted maybe 10 seconds, behind what felt like 1000 hair dryers on full blast before running back to my gunner seat. I was warm, dry (and inturn happy), and had a new respect for their engines.

Linus: "I have safety glasses on. Surely this will protect me from a double hurricane."

Good explanation. I think it would've been wise to do this outside though. If those batteries went up, you are not stopping them.

That fan scared me, both the electrical power going into it and what it does with airflow. At least it was presented in a fun cheerful way, so it was obvious from the start nothing went seriously wrong with any of the people present. Was glad to see the electrical part being handled fairly sensible short of doing the filming at a place with the right mains being available. But this fan duct being apparently unconstricted on both the intake and exhaust was mildly concerning to say the least even at "low" power up to 10%. If any object with some density got sucked into it somehow (entirely possible with the open doors even when taking all precautions in the room) could be pulled through and launched as a projectile or shredded into dust. Or worse that impact could shatter the fan blades with all kinds of possible outcomes. Small bits could easily come loose inside the case too and make it out through a gap, but the video would probably be less fun when filming it from a distance always with a protective thing between the fan/computer and people while operating at high power. I also don't know if the exterior of the fan is considered to be able to contain a catastrophic failure of a fan blade internally at maximum power, shrapnel of the spinning blades going sideways through the exterior are scarily familiar. Even if it can contain it it'd still make a mess in the room and being so close might not be wise. More than a few airline incidents happened because the engines couldn't contain an internal failure, either from normal wear without timely inspection or ingesting objects (typically birds but stranger things have happened). Glad it went well and I did enjoy watching the video, but I do know I wouldn't want to be so up close or in the airstream myself if I was there. Would definitely want to play with the fan though and see what it does to objects various objects.

Just to let you guys know, your earplugs are not properly inserted. Make sure to roll the earplug up into a small, thin "snake" with your fingers. Pull the top of your ear up and back with your opposite hand to straighten out your ear canal and then hold the earplug in with your finger until it expands to fill the ear canal.

Yep, it doesn't block the full frequency range like that. I worked in an industrial factory and we had to be shown that during orientation. I also learned that I could wet the tip of the plug and it will fully insert easily. I still wear them every night when I sleep as I live in a busy semi truck route. If they were only half inserted they would fall out.

@@dominickkramer6469 think of an area around the blades of the fan, propeller, or jet engine, as a giant circle. As they’re spinning at high speeds, if any single blade were to be unbalanced, they could break and shoot out in any direction of that circle. Aircraft have a line marked on the fuselage to show where not to be if this happens. In the video, they were standing directly left or right of the fan in the area of that circle.

As it's it's ducted design, I would imagine (and hope) that the casing is designed to contain shrapnel in the case of a blade-off, in the same way as the nacelle of a jet engine is designed and tested to.

@halycon404

@@chrisburn7178 Nacelle is designed to hold it, yeah. But it isn't strong enough to come through it intact. The nacelle is designed to bleed off energy by blowing apart tossing lower velocity shrapnel everywhere. The underside of the wing and passenger compartment that are inside the prop circle are reinforced to take not just those hits, but the full hit of a blade coming off and hitting the plane. The idea is that once the shroud violently deconstructs itself from the first indecent a second blade could break off afterwards before the engine is shutdown. So the wing and body need to be strong enough to take that second hit. Those areas are actually the strongest on any plane. When dealing with those types of forces it's just stupid to trust anything to work without a backup.

The most dangerous thing was the intake and I'm not even sure they have realized it. Blowing out this much air means the suction power is equally strong. And yes, this is literally an electric jet engine... I'm quite sure it was designed with airplanes in mind.

Only $6000.00? seems to me your crossing into industrial division. Large voltage is dangerous, obviously but can be a lot of fun if you have the proper tools at disposal. Great Job guys, always fun to watch.

If you want maximum cooling, you need enough time for heat transfer. You get to a point where air velocity is no longer helping. On a cars air conditioning system put a thermometer in thr center vent and measure how cold the air temperature out of the vents is. You will achieve a much colder reading on lowest fan setting. I guess I am saying it's a balance and eventually throwing more velocity and volume at a heat sink gets to a point where it isn't gaining anything.

Wouldn't high air speed do the inverse of cooling and actually start heat due to friction.
