[simonlundquist]

you are one of those rare youtubers that actually put effort into your videos and care for your fanbase

[madeintexasd]

Your nickel strips were most likely nickel coated. It is very common for nickel strips to not actually be nickel if you get them from a an unknown vendor.

*Engine explodes

Glues it back together

Engine: I SAID NO!
*Explodes again, but louder

xD

[brantcarter]

Try adding fuel, igniting it, and then adding oxidizer, to prevent those explosions (hard start). You were right about the accumulations inside the engine and the spark plug, but I think that your mixing also is in play here. What happens when you add oxidizer first and then fuel is you get a stoichiometric mix of fuel and oxidizer in the chamber, which detonates just like any explosive.

*Engine explodes*
"So I glued it back together"
*Engine explodes harder*

[infinitepickle]

Seeing the rocket run with zero leaks was the most satisfying moment I’ve ever seen on this channel

[brianfisher]

Integza, after watchin this I'm gonna recommend some safety glasses. PLEASE! The engine exploded in your face three times at least in this video. Maybe even a face shield.

[iamnickdavis]

I know this is a year old, but putting an electric valve to cut off the gases in case of an emergency should be on your list of todos. Love your videos!

[pocketmage]

At this point, I am emotionally invested in this series.

[teamxj]

You need to invest in some metal working tools take these projects to next level. Your sister is a legend for helping your crazy ass!

[blazingangel]

Integza, you nail the “somewhat mad inventor” vibe more than anyone else on YouTube, never change my dude.

[MaitlandJones]

I know, three year old video as of my writing this, but here's an idea:

1. 3D print a mold that you can press ceramic clay into, less likely to crack than 3D printed ceramic.
2. I could see the silver paint after your copper electroplating. Probably needed more time coating, I'd also add a layer of nickel too, get it all much more solidly metal, which would add durability to your parts.
3. As for what another user suggested, coat all of the part, especially the inside, that will add greater structural support.
4. Alternatively, you could use a layer of fireplace adhesive (I forget the name, but I saw you use it) to coat the inside if you are concerned with heat resistance.

I have been binging your content lately when not working on papers, it's been relaxing for me to watch you build cool stuff and cause explosions.

[matteocorradetti]

“I would eat a tomato for her” 🤣 he is really one of the most undervalued guys on this platform

[JoelCreates]

You should make a 3d printer that is room sized and uses expanding foam as its extrusion. Or maybe I should...someone should

[BlueBeamProductions]

I like how they are more affraid of a wasp than a LITTERALY unstable burning engine that has and will explode

[kdrgaming]

13:20 omg I'm very happy you got those valves. Especially after the test earlier in the video where the fire went back into the tube. I was thinking... what happens when that fire goes all the way to the tank... Yea please don't die! Very happy you have those protection valves now!

Next week on Integza: "How I Ended Up In The Hospital (3D Printed)"

[markfergerson]

Someone has probably already told you that copper plate is the foundation for a lot of metal plating including nickel. It looks like your copper was not covering the parts very completely though. Also the silver didn't look thick enough. I suggest more than one dip in the slip to build that up, then sinter it, then thick copper followed by thick nickel.
Remember to polish the silver as much as possible, same for the copper to get better adhesion of subsequent layers.
Also, of course you should look at what parts of the printed components physically blew open and make them a bit thicker.
Anyway, I hope this is as much fun for you to do as it is for us to watch!

[brisingreragon]

Something that could help you not burn a hole in your table could be adding something like a quarter turn valve. You start with it open, and if something happens, you can close it immediately instead of turning the tank valve for 15 minutes

[ChristianNally]

For propane systems there are safety relay valves that close when voltage is turned off. Highly recommended for this setup.
