Let's Jet going.
Hey guys, I'm the Hacksmith and this is Make It Real.
Google just says the new pixel 3A, which is an amazing new phone at a wallet-friendly price.
And they sponsored this video to challenge us to see if we can use a pixel 3a as a
replacement for our expensive camera setups during the filming of one of our epic projects.
So for the occasion we got a second jet engine to play with.
Let's make a jet belt real-life double jump anyone. We're gonna film the first
half of the video as usual then for the test we'll be switching over to these
pixel 3a excels shooting in 4k with built-in stabilization.
See if you can spot the difference.
Alright so we have two of the King Tech 3-10 jet engines now.
So now we can do some kind of jet pack, like that kind of evenly off each hip.
So that was a handle you can aim it down. Me and you should be able to jump like really high.
We can mount that off the hip quite nicely. We should probably
start in CAD but there is some mechanical workings we start with.
We're going to need to make a few shafts to actually attach them to here that we're
gonna then weld to whatever we design in Solidworks.
Alright let's do it.
Alright to start we're going to throw everything into SolidWorks and start
trying to figure out what this is actually going to look like.
So the part I'm designing a cab right now is what JT is actually making on the Lathe.
A few of the questions we have is how are we going to mount this to the actual harness in a
way that it's actually nice and strong but still comfortable for the person to wear.
JT: Two, or maybe that's the same three flat plates. Then it's just a matter
of weld, weld, weld, your done.
James: So more like the how we've mounted the jet engine in the past?
James: Alright folders done, you can start plasma cutting.
James: I'd like to almost hammer this in so it's more conical.
JT: See James knows what he's doing, he doesn't need a vice.
As I start to use the vice.
James: Feels pretty good alright and I'm pretty happy with this
mount so let's do it again on the other side.
James: Feels good.
Feels strong.
Installing Jet Engine.
JT: That's actually almost when you want to handle. Ff we could get it
closer that would actually be pretty good.
Cut that in half and cut that in half and bring it much closer.
So we're gonna make this half blank so we get a bit closer to the hip.
Jet engine!
JT: Alright, that does look closer.
James: We don't want it too close to our body.
Because we want a nice comfortable handles for our jet pack we bought some cheap drills.
JT: No we need to do the Colin Furze thing and disassemble
one drill with the other drill.
James: Genius.
I already attached one handle on the trigger and this one's the actual
trigger got the wires. I control the speed the jet engines. Some high-tech ski poles.
James: To see how we're controlling the jet engines check out the circuit
diagram at maker.io. There are links in the description below.
So we've got all the components here
and we're just going to plunk them all onto the harness.
And we'll be good to go.
It is a lot easier to straight up.
James: Ohh it fits.
Guys be my jet engines. And forwards.
And death spin.
James: Alright so now that we have the suit assembled Riley my ward will be
doing the first initial test you know for safety reasons.
Man this is actually terrifying
I didn't do full throttle but I'd be willing to next time.
We need a bracket. Where I can put my hand there because you need to force
it down with your forearm or else it's not it's not good.
Dave: Apparently you can mow the lawn with this.
Alright so as a result of propping my arms up on the
starter motors the jet engines kind of tried to suck my arms in and it damaged
the skin on my arms so we're gonna do is we're gonna make a bracket that mounts
on top of the jet engine so that we can actually have some comfort and safety
Ben: Let's try it on and see how it works.
Riley: It's a lot more comfortable. Oh that's so comfy.
James: Next up JT our intern from South Africa will be
trying out the jet belt. It's his last day here until next term.
Evan: all right Neil you ready to take flight?
I am. Let's Jet going!
You ready?
JT: It doubles as a leaf blower.
Alright that was freaking awesome it's
actually working way better than I initially thought it would. We've made
some minor adjustments but the biggest issue we had was the Jets were sucking
up dirt and grass so before we test again we're gonna have to build our very
own video game set or as I like to call it the ultimate jet belt part.
James: Once again a huge thank you goes out to Google for sponsoring this video which
let us set up this ultimate testing ground to make this video and like I
mentioned earlier this next test will be exclusively filmed using the pixel 3A's
in 4k resolution with built-in stabilization. See if you can spot the difference in the quality.
This is the pixel 3A.
It has everything you need in a phone for much less
It's got an amazing camera with awesome features like hdr+
portrait mode and night sight.
Just look at this photo I took with night sight.
The pixel 3A charges super fast and it lasts all day.
With 15 minutes of charge you'll
get make for seven hours of battery life on the phone.
One of my favorite features of the pixel 3A is
that it has a headphone jack that allows me to plug in my music and listen to it wherever I want.
My favorite part about the Pixel 3A is just how fantastic this phone is.
Alright so we've got the jet belt all upgraded it's time to do
the big test but first I'm gonna put on some safety gear because you should try this at home.
Got my pixel mounted as my action cam.
Ian: So we think the wires are disconnecting slightly and then it causes it to cut out.
Dave: We got that wire to repair right here the wires for the fuel
solenoid have been strained they haven't broken yet but that's going to be a
problem very shortly if we don't deal with that.
Staring to get a bit more comfortable with it.
Still kind of terrifying, it's literally two jet engines strapped to my arms.
Owen: Yeah you almost killed Evan you do realize.
That was fun.
Ian: That looks amazing!
I even tried doing the sidestep.
That's awesome!
So what happened was we actually ran out of fuel it's the one the jet engines
flamed out basically and that's why there's all that smoke.
Alright we got a really dumb idea. Can I jump on to this table
wearing the jet belt and can I jump off of it again. So I'll just show you I
can't jump on do it without the jet belt.
But let's see if I can float on top.
Your just so floaty down.
James: Yeah it feels really cool and it's just like whoop.
Alright that was freaking awesome. Definitely getting a bit more
comfortable with it so time to take some bigger risks.
I feet are burning. Black leather plus heat.
Getting the hang of it we did just get a noise
complaint from the neighbors though so we're gonna have to cut filming.
All right that's all been fun and games but let's up the ante. In video games
there's always obstacles to jump off of and jump on to so let's add some more
things to our little playground and see what I can do these jets.
All right we've made some improvements and I want to welcome you to the ultimate jet park!
Alright that was freaking awesome but we're running into some technical
difficulties with the jetpack the the kill switch seems to randomly be going off.
Luckily both times that happened during that test run I was standing on
something if that happened mid jump you'd see my initial crash where I just
kind of tipped off the side because literally when one engine dies the whole
thing just goes foop. So we've got a bit more work to do to get these back up and
running but we have ordered a third jet engine so make sure you subscribe and
hit that notification bell this is just the start.
And a huge thing to Google for
sponsoring this video check out the pixel 3A links in the description below
it's an amazing phone and an incredible price my team loves it I think you will too.
it'll help you get more done for less with only 15 minutes of charge you
have seven hours of battery life and the camera is fantastic
