That is fucking awesome!! Helluva job as usual. 👍🏻👍🏻 Too late and 1 too many. First real boss, cheap and practical. Used propane instead of acetylene, could get propane at a gas station on Sunday. But you had to hold the torch tip against a surface while striking for ignition. Propane has higher/lower flash point. I forget. Lol. Cheers

2024-06-15 02:32:28 +0000 UTCCan you set up a belt mechanism that feeds in the birds to coincide with the drip rate and create an automatic repeating bird gun… I don’t waste my evenings…

2024-06-14 01:14:52 +0000 UTCI thought about lining it like that, but then I've also seen JB Weld hold up in piston cylinder walls.

2024-06-14 01:12:13 +0000 UTCI saw some automated bird canons for the first time when I was on a track that goes around the runway at a base in Korea. Heard the bang and took a few minutes to figure out what they were. This carbide one is ridiculous.

2024-06-07 04:01:36 +0000 UTCThe youtube channel NileRed often does a lot of silly projects with chemicals. He is also Canadian, he might have more info on how you could get some.

2024-06-06 00:28:43 +0000 UTCWe’ve had neighbors that didn’t live very close (thank goodness) that used something similar to keep deer and animals off of their watermelon fields. They were a lot larger (lol) that used large propane tanks. From Texas, good job on rebuild.

2024-06-05 12:59:18 +0000 UTCHow about a noisy neighbor as a reason? :-D

2024-06-05 11:55:49 +0000 UTCI feel like there should have been a musical montage when he was trading with air using the gizmosity sounds

2024-06-05 10:23:20 +0000 UTCLovely job there! We call them bird-scarers here in Ireland. Modern ones are very similar in operation except they use butane cyclinders instead of acetylene. They can be set to operate by time or randomly usually from dawn to dusk. Driving around in the countryside you will hear what sounds like a shotgun blast but in fact it is a butane bird-scarer working.
Mick Gillen
2024-06-05 08:07:54 +0000 UTCMaybe ask this guy. He seems to have some connections in Canada and (as is explained in his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrvqWUJQHts ) acetylene is very permissive with the mixture ratios. Propane needs finer adjustments than acetylene.

2024-06-05 07:41:26 +0000 UTCAs for the calcium carbide: Based on my high-school-chemistry experience, I would guess that the easiest way to get it may be to find a local chemistry teacher and have them assist with the experiment. I know that my chemistry teacher would have been thrilled with the opportunity -- he did a regular experiment in our school chemistry class that involved a balloon with a small amount of calcium carbide and some water, and a match that was carefully levered around the side of the fume hood on a yardstick so no hands were directly in line-of-blast from the balloon. It was impressively loud.
Brooks Moses
2024-06-05 07:23:03 +0000 UTCOn that middle pipe: I expect it's not so much that the acetylene pressure helps push water out, because it's the same pressure on both sides, but that having the same pressure on both sides means that the acetylene pressure on the bottom of the water outlet isn't going to unpredictably slow down the rate at which the water flows out. And, yes, it also keeps the water chamber from pulling a vacuum by having the water run out (which would also slow or stop the water flow), or having acetylene seep up through the water valve and thus producing a second closed container unexpectedly full of acetylene, which also seems like a bad idea.
Brooks Moses
2024-06-05 07:14:28 +0000 UTCAlso, calcium carbide is super hard to get anywhere anymore its super expensive to make and has almost no uses anymore. It used to be widely available because most welding/metalwork was done with oxy/acetylene and it was easier/cheaper/safer to have onsite generators vs gas bottles. You also want to be slightly careful with brass and more so with copper and acetylene, they like to form an explosive "rust" over time.

2024-06-05 02:28:24 +0000 UTCEvery time I think you've achieved maximum gizmosity, you pull out something crazy like this.
Lauren Larmour
2024-06-05 02:12:48 +0000 UTCyou could cut the whole bottom out and weld a new bit in or cut the end off and stuff a "liner" made from a slightly smaller chunk of pipe/tube/ rolled metal, or a few other options.... but very few if not none would satisfy the originality of the part. the hardest part would be making the welds look like the originals... ive had to do it before it fking sucks...

2024-06-05 01:49:15 +0000 UTCI would be surprised if @nilered couldn't get Calcium Carbide and also if he wouldn't be down for a crossover demo

2024-06-05 01:39:01 +0000 UTCI love it and wish I had any possible reason to own one.

2024-06-05 01:19:08 +0000 UTCMagnificent restoration. Wow, it blasts bigly! Is it for sale and can it be adapted to repel IRS agents but not useful things like postmen?

2024-06-05 00:46:48 +0000 UTCYour dedication to the esoteric will help me tremendously if Jeopardy ever rolls out an “Obscure Tools’ category.

2024-06-05 00:05:31 +0000 UTCI've been rewatching for the past week, not complaining... Nice to see some new content. Thanks Mang! P. S. I have to ask. Who opts for the non-narrated version of your videos? Baffling!

2024-06-05 00:00:38 +0000 UTCAwwww yeah

2024-06-04 23:41:21 +0000 UTCI feel I manifested this video because earlier today, I was craving your content and went back to watch the variable electric motor restoration.

2024-06-04 22:40:43 +0000 UTCwe use them for keeping birds out of sweet corn, peaches and sunflowers.
