hey AvE -- i just wanna say thank you for all of your content. i am going through a really tough time in my life. and your channel makes me forget about the bs and have a chuckle. i wish i was more like you. thanks for reminding me to take'r'easy.

You speak volumes about the raw force of a hydraulic circuit but didn't mention they can be hyper accurate. We have some transfer machines that use hydraulic quills; with high speed volumetric sensors and optical linear scales they will drill, bore and tap holes to .0006".

Pressure is force DIVIDED by area. The mind is skukum, but the mouth boggles.

Last time I was this early she got pregnant... BTW really enjoying the videos... especially the way you interact with your wee one, she is precious and its awesome..

"Difference between full stroke and no stroke" - Well.. You are a married man. So even with out holding an oily device in your hands. I believe you are qualified to talk about the difference.

I'd pay for a shirt that says, "Chineesium is not named after any particular country."

Where did you buy that vane pump?

I have a lot of respect for hydraulic systems. Was washing sand ( for use in concrete and road base) almost 30 year ago, got my arm pulled into the conveyor belt as it was going around the bottom drum. Was stuck there ( working alone) for a good 10 mins, stopped belt but the other hyd motor on the system ( was the shaker on a vibrating screen) was going twice as fast, eventually I fell back minus an arm. Ran to the car to call for help, luckily I had a mobile phone which was fairly rare back then.

What we learned today? The screwy spinamathingy is actually called Dagadaga gun!

The random rant against pro-diseasers just makes this vidjayo all that much better.

“Nobody’s been fired for buying caterpillar” no probably not...

One time we were filling the loader's hydraulic tank because it's from the '60s and about as watertight as a screen door, and dad raised the bucket while I was filling it to help get the air out of the system. It was when he lowered the bucket that I learned that the loader needed about 3 of the 4.5 gallons I had put in it as the remainder flew out the 2" wide fill port. I reflexively put my hand over the flow, which turned it into a hydraulic oil sprinkler.

Would be something if AVE did a tear down on an Automatic transmission and valve body. Would love to see him nerding out on how it works/ the chinsiness of certain items.

That got me all pumped up and I am feeling the pressure.

This my favorite type of AvE content. It's likely I'll never work with this type of equipment, but learning about the underlying concepts of both the mechanical and economic end of it is always a nice bit of knowledge.

Couldn't help but notice the "old" Craftsman" 3/4 wrench on your bench. Brought me back to my teenage years working in a Honda/Yamaha shop and using the metric versions. They made quality stuff back then.

"fired up the tooth chipper" haha, brilliant!

I've spent my life doing electrical maintenance in plants. I still learn from you. I hope everyone understands the value of your videos.

I love the hydraulics series. Ive been working in hydraulics for about 5 years now and I love hearing your take on these pumps.

You, Camerata and ec have taught me more in the last year than I learned in 12 years of public school. A couple of vids from you three when I come in for the evening instead of tv and I go to bed smarter than I was when I woke up. Thank you.
