with the iPhone XS maxes, we're gonna see if they survive being shot by the
world's most powerful leaf blower
OK what are we doing today?
I got an arm
Today we're gonna build the world's largest and most expensive leaf blower
in the world
we've got a 8 inch concrete cardboard tube
we've got some carbon fiber that we can wrap it with and of course we have a $5,000 custom EDF
from Schubeler, that we originally got for the flying like Iron Man project
So let's slap it together, make some handles, add some batteries
yep
And put on an Iron Man costume and then blow all the neighbors leaves
Mugs
Thank you
Attach the tube on here, attach a handle on here and then
We're going to wrap the brand-new lithium-ion batteries from Energus
Around the outside of the tube
you grab the batteries and figure out just how many of these we need
One of there will be able to provide the current
but we're going to need 14 cells of these to supply the voltage
Don't hit it
its carbon fiber Bogdan
Look at my 8 inch tube
this video is sponsored by Casetify
Casetify makes the slimmest
most protcctive phone cases with a 2X military-grade protection and
we're going to test to see just how protective they really are
Gonna do the drop test, two meters. There we go.
No problem
You can find the case that's
perfect for you by choosing from cute, trendy, or classic pre-made designs or
custom design your very own. They made us some awesome Hacksmith cases for these tests

Now for the fun part
Casetify asked us to test their case on a new iPhone XS with one of our projects
so that's exactly what we're going to do. Stick around to the end of the video to
see us launch these iPhones out of the finished leaf blower
That is so frightening
Time to figure out this carbon fiber
So do any of us know how to do this
Nope
Squish it
Hey it worked!
oh it's square
Alright that turned out pretty good
Hello
this is genuinely like frightening to watch.
yeah I mean this thing's gonna be our
leaf blower forever right? Our $5,000 company leaf blower
The thing is this can be
used to clean up all of our smashy stuff because this will easily blow off like
glass or whatnot
Did it work
Let's make sure this fits first of all
it doesn't
of course
Gotta make sure the batteries fit right?
That's a good point
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen
And fourteen! Perfect
geez that's gonna break really fast
yeah
even cut another ring
Even just super glue it on
Follow us on Instagram
Why don't you just plasma cut a ring of metal
and another ring of metal
Because we would need something that is conductive
and iron is terrible at that
that's why we you use steel
Riley what do you think steel is made out of?
I mean there's some iron in it
okay
Ya why don't we just plasma cut a cool **** like
Oh wait no
Nevermind
Why?
I made a dumb dumb
why?
Because it would connect all the batteries in series and parallel at the same time
INFINITE POWER
Whatcha doing Bogdan?
Figuring out how to fix this whole thing
Alright Bogdan made the new thing that should be stronger than that one
Does it fit?
Yes
Explain to the viewers why this is so dangerous
well see this is the positive end of the battery and this is the negative end
in this battery each one of these can output 800 amps
So just dropping a washer right in between there would cause a big spark and probably weld itself
So don't drop a washer than
Alright so that's actually a really good question
what would happen if we shorted the terminals of this battery with a washer
let's see
Alright just bring your face a little closer
No
This is such a bad idea, I love it
These batteries are actually incredibly safe
Each cell is actually fused at the end so
hypothetically it's gonna draw as much current as it can
And we'll record that right there
And then hopefully they'll just like melt at the ends of the battery
Yeah yeah sure
So I wanna make sure I can
Oh that's getting hot
Oh okay so we've got some smoke from the plastic
See all the fuses melted and now the current cannot pass through
Alright so it survived being shorted
What would happen if we hit it?
Okay boss!
It's happening
You missed
It's going in the garage
okay so I calculated the CFM of what the Schubeler would be outputting
At its peak, which is probably what we'll be running it at
About 4.500 CFM, which is cubic feet per minute.
So then I looked up with the most powerful
Ummmmmm uh....
leaf blowers, the backpack ones are
and they're about 900 CFM, so we're in a different range of
almost 5x more powerful
actually exactly 5x more powerful
Yeah, just about
Okay Bogdan so since this thing is so dangerous how are you gonna make it saferer
Okay so what we are going to do
Take a photo of this
make a pattern of that shape there
And then go shuuuuuuuuuup all the way around
And plasma cut?
Laser cut.
Plasma cutting would be a terrible idea
laser cut a plate to go on top of that to basically make a
spacer and then an acrylic plate to go over all of it so that nothing can come
in contact with these two and they'll still be transparent
Watch your ring
Watch that ring, engineering rings can kill you
where's the fire extinguisher
Yeah it works
There you go Bogdan
Imagine dropping a wrench between any two of those
that's why I brought the fire extinguisher up
Oh yeah
Is there any CO2 in this
No?
I know I said a bigger Arc Reactor wouldn't make a difference but
It's a bigger arc reactor
It's way too big bra
bra bra your triangles, too big bra
all right let's laser! I mean plasma-cut!
Thor's hammer is so useful
not only is it heavy, it produces what?
24 kg of thrust?
yeah, so there's also gonna be like
50 pounds pulling back, like seriously like, if I tried holding this and turning it on
I can't resist that
Why do we make everything so heavy?
okay yeah we need a strap in between because literally this will just push
itself away from the battery
we are ready to do a quick little test
We should really test this thing first
And figure out that it's in the right mode and everything
There's gonna be a spark? ready that's part it's
Pardon?
Gonna spark?
Is it going to spark?
I have no clue
Probably
Yes
Most definitely actually yes
Here we go
Is is blowing the right way?
Yup
minimum power
so what happens if you unplug that
Wanna try?
Ok let's plug this back in
And it stays the same power
Sweet that means this button will work perfectly
We actually have a more detailed electronics diagram which you can check
out using the link in the description below to visit our project on maker.io
It works!
This will blow you away you might want to get a shoulder strap
Is that going to hold?
that's going to hold 24kg of thrust plus the weight of this thing?
There we go, there's nothing that could possibly go wrong
That's like not even 10% power
You wanna go outside?
I guess so
bye-bye leaves
That's still only like 10% power
Alright so we're outside now with the iPhone XS maxes and we're gonna see
if they survive being shot by the world's most powerful leaf blower
I'm gonna start recording a video on the phone
Hopefully it survives
And it's still recording
There's a bit of dirt on it
alright so let's try that again, we're gonna hit record
Jairus is going to catch
and save the iphone but if he doesn't it's okay
alright here we go
We're going to launch two iPhones at once
so the screen did get a bit scratched
A case doesn't protect the screen
that was awesome
it's the view from inside leaf blower
We smacked the roof
Concrete
and then 3 2 1
It's good it's good
Well the iphone suvived being shot 30+ feet in the air
we probably should have put a screen protector on them though

anyway this has got to be one of my favorite quick builds ever
We actually made the majority of it in one Saturday afternoon
though troubleshooting and filming took weeks
the build video ended up being so long
we decided to actually make this a two video project so make sure you hit that
subscribe button and smash that notification bell you're not going to
want to miss the big test. We're gonna see just how good this is at
blowing leaves, knocking people over, launching random objects into the air, plus
I put on the Iron Man suit
Thanks for watching
James said do it with one hand, hence one hand
James I did it with one hand.
Laser bandsaw means laser stays in one place and you moved the workpiece
