WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.940
thermal management companies like Noctua spend thousands of hours optimizing

00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:11.780
their cooling solutions to make as little noise as possible but what if we

00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:11.780
didn't care about that at all

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:16.880
is a vortex tube cooler and it can

00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:22.619
deliver up to 820 watts of chilling in an extremely

00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:25.859
small and efficient package so get strapped on ladies and gentlemen because

00:00:24.180 --> 00:00:29.510
this thing is about to blow away literally everything

00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:33.109
oh

00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:40.500

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.379
the time is now one hour ago and all I

00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:10.080
know is that Alex informs me we're about to cool a CPU with a Vortex cooler and I

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:14.760
haven't even opened the box on this thing yet so what the hell am I looking

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:19.500
at we got a piece of metal so that's the silencer

00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:23.580
shot ah this is an actual silencer shut up silencer yeah that's what oh my God

00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:28.439
it is a silencer our cooler needs to silence her how

00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:33.979
awesome is this we got a piece of cheap tubing I don't know what that's worth

00:01:29.939 --> 00:01:33.979
some hose barb fittings

00:01:34.140 --> 00:01:42.060
and this what is this it's a Vortex cooler we'll

00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:45.900
explain exactly how it works later Alex that's not information I didn't already

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:51.060
have true yeah Vortex cooling but what is it it uses some thermodynamic quirks

00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:56.220
and magic and probably a deal with the devil to make hot air come out this side

00:01:52.860 --> 00:01:59.100
cold air at that side apparently 90 PSI

00:01:56.220 --> 00:02:05.219
means the hot air is at 200 degrees Celsius and the cold air is at negative

00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:07.560
50. wait what yeah okay you still haven't explained to me how it works

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:11.280
where's your damn white boy I have a whiteboard I have expectations Alex we

00:02:09.660 --> 00:02:16.500
have standards around here the compressed air goes in the hot air

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:20.220
because it's denser or something goes to

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:22.620
the outside and dumps kinetic energy or

00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:28.860
something it stagnates here the molecules lose energy coming back

00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:34.260
through the hot air and then the cold air shoots out there here there's a

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:38.459
control valve which does what changes how much hot air comes out or

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:44.040
you just have question marks on here yeah the question profit I watched like

00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:46.620
five videos I read a bunch of stuff none of it makes sense it all is just kind of

00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:51.660
like a thing happens here cold air yay so

00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:55.500
unless we have a PhD in thermodynamics we're not going to understand it but we

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:58.560
can play with it we can definitely play with it

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:04.980
oh I got a laughing master car I just searched up Electronics cooler and it

00:03:02.040 --> 00:03:08.940
came up it was 550 shut up for this piece of metal yeah why is it so

00:03:07.260 --> 00:03:14.280
expensive from what I've heard it's because of the deal with the devil but

00:03:11.420 --> 00:03:19.019
it might just be because it's industrial only and you can use it for like 20

00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:22.980
years and never do anything like maintenance wise the PSI doesn't matter

00:03:21.720 --> 00:03:26.879
too much where we're going to be putting like 110 through it just because that's

00:03:24.900 --> 00:03:32.040
what our shop is at it's more so the airflow and you can change that using

00:03:29.519 --> 00:03:37.319
the little nozzles there 10 CFM is the lowest that's 190 watts of cooling I can

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:43.379
go all the way to 40 CFM which is 820 watts of cooling at minus 50 this could

00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:49.799
be dangerous oh yeah like really dangerous well we can't really do the 40

00:03:45.540 --> 00:03:51.900
CFM so our air compressor which is quite

00:03:49.799 --> 00:04:00.840
a good air compressor by the way it's good for about 19 CFM at 175 PSI

00:03:57.239 --> 00:04:03.120
so we can probably do the 25 CFM one we

00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:07.200
can maybe use the 40 for a short amount of time okay

00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:12.360
this is our control system oh is this part of the like 500 I spent no you

00:04:10.379 --> 00:04:17.220
spent this a while ago when we did the potato cannon that planted trees I'm

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:22.979
finally getting another use out of it yeah hey why don't we explain what it is

00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:24.540
this is a solenoid very simply you

00:04:22.979 --> 00:04:27.900
switch the solenoid with this button right here uh it's not plugged in right

00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:32.639
now but it will go click when you click that that allows us to not just use it 100 of

00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:39.120
the time we can turn it off with this it's way easier than like using the ball valve up there this is so stupid

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.960
you're not wrong I know

00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:47.580
Alex you've got kind of a thing going on here I'm pretty sure that when we

00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:52.680
complete this video all of the ideas that I had on my resume we will have

00:04:49.979 --> 00:04:57.780
done really yeah wow and it only took five and a half years

00:04:54.780 --> 00:04:57.780
no

00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:09.320
excuse me oh there goes my lunch

00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:16.620
geez careful with the laptop there oh

00:05:13.020 --> 00:05:20.759
man is this the the CFM like bit thing

00:05:16.620 --> 00:05:21.780
yes I got 15r uh 15 is a good one to

00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:26.340
start at that's the one we'll probably be using we could also start with either

00:05:24.419 --> 00:05:31.139
the smallest one a 10. let's start with the smallest one which wait which one's

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:36.900
the cold end again would you say 200 degrees Yeah

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.580
so you want it more open more closed

00:05:36.900 --> 00:05:43.919
what am I what am I working with here I don't know just open it a tiny tiny bit

00:05:40.979 --> 00:05:48.419
and we'll see what happens okay only there's no way with our temperature

00:05:45.960 --> 00:05:51.840
range options in the FLIR it's always going to be at least one of them is out

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:56.460
of range but whatever I know the answer to this but just for the people we are

00:05:53.880 --> 00:06:00.900
using filtered oil-free air right yeah we are yes we are oh yeah

00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:06.800
oh yeah I even say that the the vortex in here is over a million RPM well that

00:06:03.419 --> 00:06:06.800
explains where the Heat's coming from

00:06:09.539 --> 00:06:16.740
oh it's cold it's definitely sold and that is

00:06:14.280 --> 00:06:22.560
definitely one what I'm doing right now is I'm putting electrical tape on the

00:06:18.780 --> 00:06:25.319
device to make it easier for us to

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:29.639
uh get a measurement of it with the Fleer because when you try to get a

00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:34.139
thermal reading off of something that is reflective what you're actually getting

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:39.419
is the thermal reading of whatever is reflecting off of it

00:06:36.900 --> 00:06:43.860
the plastic nozzles that like minus 30 minus 40.

00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:47.780
should we try adjusting this a bit see what happens okay what yeah yeah yeah

00:06:45.419 --> 00:06:47.780
yeah yeah yeah

00:06:48.780 --> 00:06:56.400
there's a lot of moisture here oh yeah like my hands are wet that makes sense

00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:58.500
yeah the 15 should be good for about 300

00:06:56.400 --> 00:07:04.020
watts of cooling theoretically that's getting dangerously close to CPU cooling

00:07:01.380 --> 00:07:07.400
capacity yeah the Debbie Downer kylas this is like the coolest thing ever

00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:12.660
it doesn't matter cool

00:07:11.699 --> 00:07:18.120
cool well Brandon you can see the Benchmark part but um we're going to need the

00:07:16.440 --> 00:07:23.340
thermal camera to see the heating up part wow this is going up like a degree

00:07:21.419 --> 00:07:26.580
every few seconds here I just want to show it a Fleer for sending us this

00:07:24.599 --> 00:07:31.500
camera this thing's like thirty thousand dollars it's wicked yeah and it's

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:38.000
enabled us to make better content for you guys so yeah clear hey how you guys

00:07:34.440 --> 00:07:38.000
doing currently at 37 degrees

00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:48.319
now it's sub ambient four

00:07:49.020 --> 00:07:56.039
oh come on Sub-Zero Sub-Zero there we go

00:07:53.180 --> 00:08:01.740
Sub-Zero phone cooling baby holy crap that's chilly wait your score

00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:05.580
is better than 87 scores for the Samsung Galaxy Z fold three

00:08:03.840 --> 00:08:10.199
well we should cool it the whole time and do another run and see if we can

00:08:07.380 --> 00:08:13.099
like oh yeah okay oh wow why don't you move off of it you can imagine

00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:21.379
yeah yeah there it is what did we have last

00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:28.680
time 57-58 okay well we've got another 25

00:08:24.660 --> 00:08:30.180
points oh the silencer you undo this

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:35.399
thing and put it on there oh we got some Frost this time boys oh

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:38.760
we did we did but like I said remember how I was like oh it's so weird the

00:08:36.899 --> 00:08:43.260
condensation's only on the outside of the nozzle

00:08:40.260 --> 00:08:45.839
all the frost is only on the outside of

00:08:43.260 --> 00:08:50.399
the nozzle yeah what kind of black magic is that

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:54.300
that way it can never get jammed but how did they do that while we're at it you

00:08:52.620 --> 00:08:57.720
want to switch to the big dick nozzle yeah I was thinking just go all the way

00:08:55.740 --> 00:09:01.440
to the big one right we can only run that momentarily

00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:08.100
yeah until our tank is gone got it the silencer though

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:10.380
so do we Teflon tape that and then what

00:09:08.100 --> 00:09:14.279
this goes I don't under I actually do not understand how this is supposed it

00:09:11.880 --> 00:09:18.600
goes in same spot as before Oh and the silencers on the other side of it yeah

00:09:15.959 --> 00:09:24.480
got it look at this guy okay is there anything that looks cooler

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:28.800
than someone wearing sunglasses through a thermal camera

00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.640
I can definitely see the soc it's hitting about 20 degrees

00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:36.660
that is definitely colder can confirm I

00:09:35.459 --> 00:09:42.000
feel like it worked better before without the silencer

00:09:39.060 --> 00:09:49.019
let's take the silencer off yeah okay hey get back here

00:09:45.959 --> 00:09:50.700
oh yeah that's cold

00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:56.700
I don't think our compressor can keep up though no okay let's dial it back to

00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:59.820
what our compressor can handle then and I think it's time to cool the CPU I

00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:06.899
think cinebench is gonna be the most fun okay cinebench thermals for 100 degrees

00:10:02.060 --> 00:10:09.899
what is this is it 12 900k yeah KS KS oh

00:10:06.899 --> 00:10:13.620
okay and how much wattage can we do with

00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:16.260
this nozzle 450 that one's 300 300 what

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:21.000
that's it that's it okay well good luck everybody I'm taking this fan off boys

00:10:18.839 --> 00:10:23.540
all right send a bench run yeah I'm ready for it

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.279
slower

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:37.620
yeah of course I guess the problem is I just I can't

00:10:34.500 --> 00:10:39.720
apply all of this cooling directly to

00:10:37.620 --> 00:10:43.620
the CPU should we just aim it like directly at the CPU I could try that but

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:50.279
the problem is that we don't have any surface area there we might as well just aim it directly at the die at that point

00:10:47.640 --> 00:10:55.760
can we try that okay ready

00:10:51.660 --> 00:10:55.760
three two one go

00:10:57.180 --> 00:10:59.779
get closer

00:11:05.579 --> 00:11:12.420
this poor CPU yes uh it's pretty hot right now

00:11:09.180 --> 00:11:15.420
oh yeah it's going real slow

00:11:12.420 --> 00:11:15.420
yes

00:11:25.019 --> 00:11:35.040
how's the CPU temps doing uh 93 degrees okay I'm on it so our CPU

00:11:31.560 --> 00:11:36.600
it's currently at 40 degrees

00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:41.640
at idle could I try and run Cinnabon okay

00:11:39.540 --> 00:11:47.100
okay it's immediately thermal throttling it's going real slow

00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:47.100
okay

00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:54.480
let's talk about what happened there I don't know if it'll work I think the

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:57.839
12900 KS is just

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:59.760
too much too much heat and too small a

00:11:57.839 --> 00:12:03.480
spot I'm really surprised blowing it on this didn't work

00:12:00.899 --> 00:12:07.800
me too especially with how cold these heat pipes felt to the hand yeah like

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:10.980
they were chilly heat pipes let's talk about what these are actually used for

00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:15.779
then shall we there's for loads of things most of it's

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:20.880
in industrial applications like large plants so if you have like a gas tank

00:12:18.420 --> 00:12:23.519
for a car that you just welded it needs to cool down and maybe it would take

00:12:22.079 --> 00:12:27.660
three minutes if it's just in the air stick one of these on now it's a minute

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:33.420
and a half and you can make heaps more of them or you can put this on like the

00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:39.180
end of a welding torch to cool that down oh that makes a ton of sense now there

00:12:36.420 --> 00:12:45.180
are other ways to turn power into cooling and heating for example Peltier

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:50.880
modules come fundamentally do the same thing you add power not to compress air

00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:56.639
but rather just you power the thing and you get hot out one side and cold out

00:12:52.740 --> 00:13:00.000
the other but those consume a ton of

00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:02.040
power compared to this and it's not as

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:07.440
easy to direct that Cooling and direct that heat on whatever part it is that

00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:11.579
you want to cool or heat another thing these are great for is electronics

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:16.320
cooling but when it has to be away from a bunch of things like completely sealed

00:13:14.459 --> 00:13:23.040
off so this way you can have compressed air in hot air goes out electronic is

00:13:19.920 --> 00:13:25.380
cooled very precisely in a completely

00:13:23.040 --> 00:13:29.519
isolated area got it so not for this basically no I'm kind of

00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:34.200
sad that it didn't work yeah I kind of thought it would do more than it did yeah at least

00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:37.260
we need a better air compressor we do yeah and we can put the big nozzle on

00:13:36.180 --> 00:13:42.779
