Engine


I turn Fridge Compressor into 4 stroke Engine
Lets Learn Something

This is a gear head fantasy - let's make an engine out of a bunch of junk! Compare and contrast this project with The Silicon Greybeard's engine building project. We have two techniques as different as can be, but still working toward the same goal. 

This guy doesn't use any machine tools, a drill press and an angle grinder are his tools of choice. The TIG welder is biggest gun in his arsenal. When he gets to setting up the ignition system, and he starts pulling out what look like new parts, it's almost like he's cheating. But all those electrical parts cost like next to nothing compared to anything made out of metal. They only become expensive when you happen to need the exact one necessary for your 2019 Super Whizbang, and that's only to pay for the warehouse full of parts and the clerk that are sitting there waiting for you to need what they have.

This video has been out less than a week and it already has over two million views. Looking through my YouTube history, the only ones that have those kind of numbers are music videos.
