"why has that strange fella next door been filming his sprinkler for half an hour?" "I dunno, remember that time he drove around town and filmed all the stop lights?" "I bet he's with the government."
-
Does anyone else read text as fast as you possibly can to make sure you read it all before it disappears, then just sit there staring at it for the next 10 seconds, because you had plenty of time?
-
"You can make them just go in circles, like most online arguments." LOL!!!
-
When I was a young kid, I remember being fascinated by these sprinklers - and I was super excited when my parents got me one for my birthday.
-
"Something as simple as a water distribution device deserves due diligence." I know you had fun writing that one
-
This channel is now dedicated to appreciation of clever engineering nuances of everyday items, and I'm here for it.
-
The “armature” is actually called the “spoon”
-
"adjustable beyond their angle of sprinklage" "the irrigating sound" Superb use of language Sir !
-
That screen tilt edit. How do you stay so funny and so informative with every video?
-
"direction-y change-y bit" Whoa, slow down with all that technical jargon!!
-
2 years later… I grew up with these on our dairy farm as a child and took them for granted. However, I just bought one of these a few days ago and spent 20 minutes playing with the amazing mousetrapedness of it all. As a physics-teaching adult, I have never appreciated it more than I did a few days ago! These things are truly amazing! They are WATER CLOCKS!!
-
"It's easier to see because you can actually see it" must be your best quote ever.
-
"Like most online arguments." That's what keeps me coming back.
-
The “irrigating sound” joke at the end was brilliant and perfectly delivered.
-
Your puns and wordplay extend even to your closed captions; 10:07, "Impactfully smooth jazz," lol! Your efforts don't go unnoticed, good sir!
-
“When it hits the water like a curious raccoon” lmao
-
I once observed a very clever deer use its hoof to halt the motion of the "armature" on one of these sprinklers allowing it to drink from the uninterrupted water stream.
-
This kind of curiosity about everyday "simple" objects is awesome and educational. I love it!
-
This guy usually takes perfectly functional things apart to see how they work... ...something my Mom used to punish me for, but... I became an electrical engineer.
-
This is actually one of my favorite episodes you've done. I used to be so mystified by impact sprinklers, but I never got the chance to actually investigate one by my self. I love the way you broke down the mechanism by which it works.
