How To Make A Cooling System For An Electric Vehicle

"All hail the algorithm" and "Temporary solutions are the most permanent" on a shirt with nice SuperFast Matt graphics would be something I would buy to support and wear for inspiration!

The best day of the week is when Matt uploads

I'm people, and I'm impressed. But still, all hail the algorithm.

"Temporary solutions are the most permanent".
Truer words have never been spoken!

I'm a pool guy, so I'm familiar with hydraulics. Running pumps in parallel the way you have it MAY cause issues with the flow rates, and potentially even the flow direction, IF the pumps are run at different speeds. If I understand your intentions with the system, they will be, correct? I THINK the effluent side configuration will be OK, but I could see issues with influent side if the pump speeds are running at very different speeds. The pump running at the higher speed could cause the flow through the lower speed pump to stall, or even reverse (not likely unless the pump is shut down completely). In the pool industry, we would employ one-way or pressure differential valves to prevent issues like that. Running the influent and effluent plumbing into common plenums will often resolve the issue as well. Running the influent side of the tow pumps to the lower radiator end cap with separate lines would likely resolve any potential issues. It's also possible it will be completely fine the way it is, lol. Just wanted to share my experience in case you do run into issues later.

I really appreciate the thesis and execution of this channel.

Hello Matt. About the leaks. When i used to work at the Saab factory in Sweden we also had problems with leaks in the cooling system. It happend when you put the clamp to close to the end of the hoose. The solution was to put the clamp no closer than 5mm to the end. Now days hooses comes with the clamp glued in the correct position. Did notice that some of your clamp was very close to the end of the hoose.
Thanks for great content. John

This has honestly become my favorite youtube channel. It's a great combination of informative and entertaining. You're killin it Matt, stay golden.

Can I just express how great it is that your garage looks like an actual, completely normal, garage. Not a polished studio for perfect YouTube shots.

How does this guy not have more subscribers? This is one of the best channels on youtube!

10:03 didn't know Arduino ran Android code haha. Good stuff man, these videos are awesome

For a cooling fan... I think you could nab one from a VW made in the last 10 years or so. Most take a PWM input to control speed, then you don't need an external fan controller. Usually they have 2 fans, and the controller is built into the larger fan.

Great job Matt! You lost me at "I had to write some code", but your ability to work through complex issues while explaining your processes to those with lesser skills is what makes this channel great! Also your video production is first class.

[rjung_ch]

Yeah, hail the algorithm indeed, it's a great project, getting an old car back on the road

[Myrune]

I love the dry humor. I'll keep coming back.
How come you don't have a million subs?

[seanycomet]

Totally love this channel. Just keeps on getting better and better! Love the humour, love the build. Nice work, mate!

[densamme]

You moving the Jag makes me remember my uncles proverb "annoyance is a better motivator then pain, or people wouldn't endure pain to fix a annoyance"

[Bratzelwatz]

"swaping the entire garage? No!" hilarious :D

Every episode I think I have everything all planned out for my ev conversion
And then matt comes in with 5 things I hadn't even considered to pay attention to

First comment after watching this channel for a while. I love the dry sense of humor and your knowledge base. You make it look easy to the point where I mistakenly think I can build a Motorcycle powered car. One of the most entertaining Channels on youtube. Kudos.
