Ok, here is our SinkScience set-up
we've got the CD Turbine and the magnetic coupler
coupled onto the turbine with a connecting rod here so they both move together
the shake-flashlight guts and a little magnetic
holding magnet, and you can see how it goes in and out, holding the connecting rod in place.
when i turn the coupler, and so on. Ok we're going to rev up
a bit and see what happens with that
Ok, the shake-flashlight is lighting up.
And it's working quite wel, hehe, back and forth...
this is strictky experimental...
but it's interesting that...
the turbine very easily runs the shake flash-light
in fact, we can rev it up quite a bit...
wow, everything's shaking pretty good now!
Ok, slow that down again, and let's try...
I haven't tried this yet...I'm going to see if I can make another flash-light
to, ah, make kind of a symbionic
relationship you might say, and see if the one flash-light
will make the other one work.
so, we'll have a true Shake-Flashlight Shaker
Ok, let's try...might need some fine-tuning here, let's try it out!
Welll, it's working! It is actually working!
Look at that.... the light on the second shake-flashlight is lighting
I'm going to dim the lights so you can see that well
oops, ah, the magnetic coupler came disconnected...
I think they might have made contact, or something...
Try that again, a little less hecticly,
(thunka, thunka, thunka sound)
Allright, ok!
Let's speed it up a little...can't go too fast, oops, I see I'm going to have to put a
cap on the magnetic coupler
to keep it from popping off. Ok, we'll try that and be right back...
k, we are back again with the Shake Flashlight Shaker, and I would just
like to show that I put a little pin in here to keep the disc
...the magnetic coupling disc here from popping off the spindle,
and we are alll set to try it again and see what kind of
performance we can get from it
running on faucet water pressure...
for this demonstraton. Ok,
let me just get things fired up here...(gurgle, gurgle sound)
Ok, as we can see, it's
able to go around quite readily, rev it up
quite smooth, well, relatively smooth, a little bit of vibration.
Ok, that's at full rpm there now...
moves along quite nicely...
The beauty of this set-up is that it' not even attached
the turbine is going around here
and I can shuut down the turbine, hook this back on
and turn on the turbine and away it goes
magnetically driven
ok, I just want to show
the other shake flash-light in place here
let's see how that works
(chug, chug, sound))
Appears to be working ok...let's turn the lights off.
That's pretty cool. I'll rev it up and see if it still holds together
(Thumpa, thumpa, thumpa, noise) It's making a bit of noise...
Fulll speed there now! It's giving that additional
shake-flashlight a pretty good charge. It's working quite welll; you can
see here. Allright!
thumpa, thumpa, thumpa
(slows down)
That is the Shake Flashlght Shaker!
Yet another crazy invention by mrfixitrick!
