anyone who's seen any of the previous see-through engine episodes
knows i was trying to blow this engine up for a while and i was unsuccessful so
when someone requested that i run this engine
on black powder i thought it was a great idea the only issue i'm gonna have is
going to be the method of delivery since gunpowder
has its own oxygen if not done right this can be really
dangerous so i reached out to my guy at project farm since he's like an expert
at rigging things up and while he just started cracking up laughing
after a short conversation with him i think
I figured out how i can make this work
looks like i'm all set i got my seal on the tube that's
creating a complete seal with the carburetor as soon as i hit the switch
on the remote here it's going to move a tube
full of black powder into position and make a
connection between the tube and the carburetor of the engine and just let
the engine suck in as much gun powder as it wants
what can go wrong
all right here we go I'm gonna start it
up on gasoline real quick just let it run
hear how this thing sounds
and see how well the carburetor works
first thing i'm going to do is i bolted on the stock head
i'm just going to run it on gasoline real quick to do a quick test run
make sure that all my linkages are working properly and they're not binding
i have a linkage for my throttle and the linkage for the tube that's
going to be full of black powder
that's it this should be good
never done this before
let's do the first run on gasoline and
see how this little beast sounds
all right cool seems like the thing runs really good on gasoline
let me get the head bolted on
fill this tube up with gunpowder
and this is finally ready
this is a lot of building to make it look nice
and clean and operate smoothly
next i'm going to mount
a see-through head
just like the very first see-through Engine I ever did
all right we're ready to rock and roll
i'm all set let's see what this engine does
this is unknown territory for me i've never done this before
[ Enchanting Music ]
[Carnage]
and this is exactly why i take all of the safety precautions that i do
i mean that was crazy that was a double explosion
first the engine blew and then a little ember flew inside of the tube
and ignited the rest of the gunpowder and the tube blew up
a double explosion that was insane and definitely not what i expected
but check out that damage man that was a crazy explosion
that reminds me of like those cartoons where
you know they bend the pistol backwards and the whole pistol explodes that's
kind of how it looks here look at those head bolts it bent all of
the head bolts completely out of place and uh yeah
that was nuts there's just one piece of
one little piece of the see-through head left and if you look inside of that
cylinder i mean it even bent it even bent the
aluminum plate my spacer plate right there if you look
at that look at that it even bent the entire aluminum plate
wow that was impressive that was pretty cool i think i'm gonna
throw on the stock head and see if this thing would start up
one more time i mea
that would prove this briggs and stratton to be Indestructible
the shock of that explosion was so
intense it also bent my intake manifold
look at that yeah that was pretty crazy so that being said
i think what i'm going to do as a testament to briggs and stratton because
these engines obviously are just about indestructible
i'm going to remove these bolts bolt the stock head back on
see if i can get it to run one more time as an outro
hmm There you go it still runs
i want to give a shout out to john from bird engines in chicago
every time we're in the middle of filming and i need a part or something
randomly he always hooks me up super nice guy
and on top of that i want to mention one other thing i always ask everybody's
opinions about my videos and everything that i put on YouTube
simply because i feel that the audience is a part
of these stories and these projects and what i put together
and i'm kind of like just the guy that builds them to show everybody
that's just how i feel so this particular episode i filmed with a
completely different camera up until these scenes right now and i
just want to ask everybody's opinion as to
what they think about the look of the video
or if the video felt any different
to you and uh yeah i just want to end it right there
and thanks again for watching
i'll see you real soon
see you in the next Video
