Seriously, thanks to everyone who supports on Patreon. It's a big deal and I'm genuinely grateful.

It's so hard to explain how fuel is delivered to a vehicle if somebody has never seen it actually happen. This is literally the best showcase of how fuel injectors work. Amazing job. as always!

Thank you Dean for supporting the right to repair and help keep old stuff running.

I have a PhD in internal combustion engines. I can only say that I love how you approach a subject from its basis. You are an eager experimentalist and the passion you show in your content is inspiring and contagious

The thing I think people are most attracted to in all of your videos is the fact that you've managed to retain your sense wonder and excitement into your middle age. It's quite infectious, in the best way, and I've tried to do the same thing, myself. Your son is a luck young guy to have a father who is so enthused by things like carburetors and fuel injectors (and the refractive qualities of water, and pneumatically-propelled baseballs, and so on and so on).

I love how Destin goes from nuclear submarines to tractor parts to apollo mission technology to tractor pulls to the incredibly wide myriad of subjects on his popular videos list.
This guy is just a grown up curious little kid who gets to explore all of his dreams and take us along for the ride!

Those slo-mo burning patterns were so beautiful. Came for science, stayed for the art.

[Bleeper]

This is my favorite episode of Smarter Every Day. The music, the visuals, and the mechanical engineering - I love it all. Thank you for this video.

I love how your accent saturation changes depending on when you are narrating vs talking to people. Do you have a saturation dial you turn to adjust how southern you sound. I love it.

[AntVenom]

Well, today I learned some of the fundamentals of fuel injection. Also, I was not expecting those finale slo-mo's to be as extraordinary as they were.

Hey Destin, my family had a small business dealing with Cetane testing, so we spent a LOT of time working with various fuel injectors. We even produced some high speed footage of auto-ignition in a combustion chamber by using a quartz window back in the early 00's. High speed cameras have come a long way since then. I think the cameras we were using were something like 180px horizontal resolution, haha. It's super cool to see the flame propagation through air with such detail! Very cool to see this being covered!

Listening to Destin giggle like a kid in a candy store is great. Proves that he is amazed making these vids as we are watching them.

[hacksmith]

That was awesome to see!!! Thanks for sharing!

[JohnWilliams-eeel]

When you have fire and nervous giggling, you know you’re at the cutting edge of science.

[GeneralLeeIrritable]

I ran into Destin about a year ago right up the street from my house. I tell you what, he is as nice and genuine in person as he is in his videos. I was honestly star struck and probably a bit awkward. But he engaged in a great conversation with me about his videos when he went out on the subs with our US Navy. He is just a great guy. Thanks for more great content, Destin!

Hello there. I'm a mechanical engineer building HP Boilers in Uzbekistan. I must say that I love your videos. You inspire the curious child in me with wonder and awe of the world around. Also, I'm glad to see the Bible references at the end of each video. Thank You very much.

9:52 Destin's slow motion reaction is so far the best thing I've seen this year.

[MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

Destin, you inspired me to become an engineer. Years ago when I was fresh out of the military you were kind enough to correspond with me via email about various photography techniques. I now work in aviation engineering. Along that trail to get to where I am today I worked as an automotive mechanic and I have a lot of these tools and a curious mind. It's very difficult to convince myself to be responsible and not try this at home 😂.

Thank you for always staying curious and helping to inspire more people to be as well. I promise I probably won't try this at home. Maybe at work though.

[feman]

Dude, you are so easily entertained. That is so freakin cool. I've spent 40 years in turbine engine engineering and the combustor / fuel nozzle arena has always been black magic. I totally enjoyed this video. Thanks Destin.

[Gitomtom]

I was totally mesmerized by the slow-mo fire part of this video. Please don’t stop doing what you’re doing.
