This see thru video was much more interesting to me just because of how much more visible everything was. Sure, the slo-mo helped a lot in being a better video, but the device itself did as well.

The build of the jet engine was well done, but just the visibility isn't nearly as visible into what's actually going on inside. Sure, you can see the metal casing of the combustion chamber get red hot, but it just didn't have the wow factor I was hoping for. This is not a knock on the person making the video. Sometimes you get snake eyes after all of that effort. Sometimes you roll seven, and get even better than hoped for. All in the day of the life of a content creator.

Keep in mind that most recent cars (last 20 years?) Have injectors and do not use a carburetor.

Yeah? And? So? Keep in mind now, that for the most recent CPUs are no longer 8-bit (20 years?), yet 8 bit microcontrollers are all the fad. Not really sure what your point is? We're not allowed to be fascinated with old tech that still works and has merit in demonstrating how/why it worked?

Sure. I was just pointing it out for people wondering where this is on their car.

It wasn't any where near a car. It was on a garden tiller. Traditional ICE lawn equipment still uses carbs.

Speaking of which, I would ban these. It's ridiculous that fuel injection technology is universally used in cars for over 30 years, yet exhaust of garden equipment still stinks horribly. (oh, and also ban oil-burning two-strokes)

Right, in a thread about jet engines...

Not sure why you're so angry‽

This is exactly why I go on HN. I got stuck at sea so many times with no wind to get back and a broken outboard where as a reflex I was taking apart the carburator and putting it back together as a quick fix without really understanding what was going on, this is massively helpful thanks!

Just bought a Catalina 22 two months ago and have been waiting a month for the outboard to be fixed.

Glad I could help!

Not a fan of Destin knowing he works in defense and likely works on weapon systems.

That was awesome! Really cut into my HN time :-)

Well worth the click.
