  • I am the designer of The Wonder From Downunder, thanks for choosing it! I made my own manometer to test different versions . The result could probably be improved if some tape was used to seal the 2 halves together
  • @AySz88
    Oh boy, we might end up with contraptions that are more tire pump than fan, won't we?
  • @brianii5809
    Centrifugal compressors compressing centrifugally
  • @DreadKyller
    C major chord isn't three octaves of the same note C, it's C, plus a third, plus a fifth, so C E and G, E is the major third of the C major scale, and G is the major 5'th of the C major scale.
  • @galgrunfeld9954
    Damn, can't believe I've been watching this show for 6 seasons. Guess I'm just a... big fan.
  • The wonder from down under guy should get a job in a F1 team. He read the rules and decimated all!
  • @MlnscBoo
    If that fan is within 2 cents of C Major, I will subscribe to Milo I played a C chord along with the fan and gosh darn it, it made a C chord! lol
  • the c major fan looked really good in the smoke test, it should get tested for airflow
  • Fun fact, fans are being used as speakers. Normally, in a speaker, a magnet induces vibrations onto a cone that pushes air back and forth at a specific frequency. In a rotary subwoofer, however, large, flat blades are attached to a mechanism that changes the pitch angle of the blades from positive to negative, which is actuated by a magnet just like a normal speaker. Changing the blade pitch back and forth at a frequency has the same effect as a speaker cone, but it's able to move a much larger volume of air as it spins, which makes it much louder. This technology is sometimes used in pipe organs to emulate enormous pipe lengths (80, 120, 160 ft long or more) to be able to produce notes that can be felt more than heard. Since they're so loud, though, it creates an excessive amount of noise pollution as the design requires an "infinite baffle", or venting straight outside to produce a desirable effect inside. I saw a guy on youtube make one in his house and nearly shook the walls apart as pressure increased and decreased so rapidly.
  • @andrewsad1
    I love the wierd fans that aren't designed to be the very best. Another 0.1mm of pressure is obviously impressive for the top fans, but the ones that are supposed to look or sound cool are always my favorites Edit: ok but when it ekes out another 4.6mm that's worth celebrating. That's a season defining fan
  • @ScienceRules118
    Is the guy who designed the Wonder from Down Under the same guy who came up with the Cheater? Because this feels like "Cheater 2.0"
  • @DaKiOlA
    Yay i made it in, I just made what felt like it would do good, and named it what it looked like to me. Nice to see it printed out, Danijel Sawblade.
  • @MyBrokenStuff
    The only criticism I can offer this channel is that I need more videos. I love this stuff. I'd love to get more videos on your general 3D printing experiences.
  • For anyone curious about the music theory, you take a frequency (say A=440hz or 440 ocilations per second), the octave is exactly twice the frequency, so say 880hz, if you divide that into 12 segments, that is your 12 notes in western music. The C major scale uses 7 of the given notes (if i'm not mistaken) so you play the 1st note in C major, then the 3rd note in the scale, and the 5th note, and that is your C major chord. (I'm also just a nerd on the internet so take all of what i say with a grain of salt of course)
  • @alihms
    I am quite impressed on the breadth of domain specific knowledge MH commenters here have. Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer, Sound Engineering, 3D printing, and now Music Theory. Glad I'm here.. though I can't barely contribute anything.
  • @NnH_Kairyu
    Before: "3? That's impressive!" Normal entries: "Let's have some fun." Wonder from Down Under: "Hold my beer, his beer, everybody's beer."
  • @GooseGosselin
    OK.....WFDU is seriously impressive, well done. Awesome episode, thank you.
  • @patprop74
    Way to think outside the box from down under, Congrats on taking the first place so far a head.
