I though some of you might enjoy this.

I actually watched that earlier this week.. It taught me more than I knew. Always willing to learn new things, especially in a detailed way. Great video I thought.

Yep. And doing that with his dad is priceless. I miss my pops. Fortunately, he taught us a lot before he passed.

Doing that INSIDE the garage was pretty gutsy! Cool video.

Well... thank you Moss. That was very informative and I'm more knowledgeable for the experience.

I knew about the venturi effect from my Navy firefighting training (foam mixture) and regularly use the effect with my "Vinturi" wine aerator for a 'decanted' glass of wine which truly enhances the flavour.

Thanks again for posting.

Yes that was interesting.Thanks for posting it.

You are welcome. I think most of us knew how a carb works, but as they say, a picture is worth $69,000,000.

There is lots of messy raw fuel in the see-through carb in the video. With the addition of air bleeds in the main jet and pilot jet circuits, the fuel will get atomized quite a bit more before it gets to the venturi so it is not as fluid. Good video on the basics and a good interaction between son and dad.

I like the way the son plays "straight man", learning from his father. Aside from the fact he probably had heard it all before while growing up, I suspect that by the time he got his engineering degree he knew more than he lets on.

A great visual of Bernoulli's principle at work!

Here is a textual description for the mathematically inclined!

Destin has a lot of good videos. If you watch them, you really will get "smarter every day"

I really like his series where he boarded a nuclear submarine for a few days and examined its systems as much as was allowed.
