That pretty much goes for any material that burns, it’s off gassing. Smoke is just unburned fuel/off gas. Learned this many many years ago when starting my fire service classes. Little over 20 years ago, wow time flys huh 😂.

That's one memorable lesson lol. Another way to demonstrate that it's actually the smoke that's burning is with a candle. Let it burn for a few minutes and then blow it out. Hold your match a few inches above it in the stream of smoke that's coming off the wick. The smoke with light on fire and travel back down to the wick, relighting it. Kind of a fun trick but it shows that it's actually the smoke that's burning. Well actually it's vaporized wax in this case, but same idea. The wax itself or the wick itself doesn't actually burn. It just turns things into a vapor and that's what burns.

This is actually one of the tests someone did to actually figure out combustion theory! Except instead they had originally put a lump of coal under a fire, and the gas lit on fire, which is actually what originally started the Town-gas industry where you have gas delivered to your home by pipes, it originally wasn't propane or natural gas, but coal gas!

@buzzsaw ncgo. Wow, that was interesting, you're about my age i guess, i'm a 1940 model New Zealander and i was in my last year at High School in 1955. Life was different then compared to now, people cared more about each other and were more considerate. Nowadays they don't give a shit about anyone else. I am a constant follower of Darrins channel for some time now, love it and still learning at 82yo. LOL. Bob. Veteran.

@@daddybob6096 I am 74yo and learning dayly also! Greetings from Sweden.

Ryan - That is SO TRUE !! He has patience, relaxation, etc. Not like me. And we heard the famous Mustie Laugh after startup.

😊

Immediately came to the comments to see if anybody else noticed that

At 1:31:40 looks like mk2 grenade.

I haven't needed it for a while now, but I used to go to the hospital for Imitrex when I got a migraine. Supposedly you can get it in tablet with a 'script now. I can feel them coming on when I get veins pulsing in my eyes....I know I have to get off the computer, shut off the tv, turn the lights out, and go all "zen" in a quiet place. I can usually catch them before they take hold with a couple of tylenol.

@@muskokamike127 -I really appreciate it and I’ll check into it. The only thing that works for me to cut the tension cord is a Percocet and sleep and then hope for the best. (And I hate narcotics - makes me nauseous, constipated, and I don’t like the dizzy effect. But I will take ‘em if I have no option.) again, thanks.

@@jackmundo4043 it sounds silly but little things like breathing/meditating or even physical exercises and diet can go a long way for mental health

they worked for some people i've known that had issues, it gets your mind off the negative and allows your body to clean itself, at least that's what the doctors said.

@@jackmundo4043 Yeah I don't like the narcotics either. Morphine is fun and all, but yeah, I don't like the side effects. Same as Demoral, Oxy etc. The thing about migraines is: there's no real one cure for everyone. Everyone is different just like migraines. Sometimes mine start at the back, sometimes above my right ear, and sometimes behind and above my right eye. Always on the right though. They have greatly diminished since I left the high stress corporate job(s) though. One thing that bugs me about people talking about migraines: most aren't having a migraine, it's just a bad headache. If it was a migraine you wouldn't be out driving around on a sunny day, watching tv or playing a freaking video game. I had a buddy who would call in sick to work "due to migraines" and he'd be online playing a video game or watching tv. Dude a migraine feels like someone is driving a 12" spike through your head, you WON'T be outside, playing a video game or watching tv if you were having a migraine. I once shot a framing nail through my hand...it didn't hurt as much as a migraine.

I really enjoy the Mustie chuckle. Glad you can still do that.

I never had a migraine until i started having seizures and i can tell you they suck. I always thought people were just being sissys but nope

it's americian made not chineaseium

Hard to believe millions of these were around during the W W 2 ! What a neat car evan for those days ! 😇😇😇

So…sounds like you have a business opportunity…source your individual parts and make up your own kits and sell them for half the competition.

It's why a clapped out 1983 C-10 Custom Deluxe goes for $11,000 instead of $1100 which is all they are really worth.

People these days think something thats a worn out piece of shit is worth money just because its old. Know nothing Idiots making life harder for us.

Was thinking along the same lines but was also wondering if dropping an acorn or two into the rad was a primitive way (or a wive's tale) for sealing a coolant leak?

@@chrisfreemesser5707 I doubt it. People have known the pepper trick for a very long time.

Love the use of the word "Therapy". It really is soothing to watch 👌

...IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD-(!)

For me the migraines are from high blood sugar

Ratchet time

@@bottomlands He also "forgot" to mention Google keeps 30% of the "tip" from the Thanks button. 🤣

@@bottomlands I’ve left him tips in the past butthead . Get your head out of your ass .

Where's your tip Phillip? I only see you telling others to leave one.

It is also parts of the acorn skin. Over time, with constant boiling, the starch part would dissolve and be lost.

I used a product probably 20-25 years ago to “seal a leaking radiator” that was a liquid with gelatinous balls in it that were supposed to melt as the engine came up to temp. Whatever was in the little balls was supposed to flow throughout the cooling system and seal any holes. Can’t recall if it worked but I’m highly inclined to believe those balls are from a product like I used rather than acorns. I’ve seen a lot of old, oily acorns but have yet to see some that pliable.

Thats what ive been suffering with for over 20 years .tension cluster headaches, its miserable.

@@ronfisher2016 have you tried oxygen therapy? I understand that it often produces dramatic relief.

@@paulsabourn5580..no i havent ..at this point its worth a shot .thank you.

When the head is off you can just look at the piston and valve.

😆👍

I don't ever get headaches, thank God, but if I drink any Orange Soda a massive migraine.

I used to have migranes, I found out that my bunsen burner had a leak. The propane gave me a headache.

You are correct. Many people used this in Europe during WW2 and put the gasifier in the trunk as gas was more or less unavailable.

Der Fuher was experimenting with coal gasification on a large scale because Germany didn’t have much availability to petroleum on its own territory. That’s one of the reasons he wanted to go east into Russia. 🥸🧵✅

Eustis from the TV series "Mountain Men" built one, worked well. not sure which episode but i know i watched it years back.

no, bad idea

Many British double decker buses ran that way, also.

@@presbyterosBassI They ran on Methane from chicken poop.

I personally would have used the old gasket over .

I agree

I wonder if he ever reads the comments?

@@gs1100ed would you?

@@1pcfred I reckon not if I had as many subscribers and comments as he does. Looks like lots of people hope that he does though. He might learn a few things from them, so it seems like it would be time well spent if he thinks that he can learn by reading rather than by doing.

@@gs1100ed everyone learns different ways. Some can even find new ways. Which sometimes can be the best ways. If that never happened we'd have no knowledge today to speak of. But as things stand now we know a tiny bit.
