    This gets more impressive every video, i still find it amazing that a motor can be this flat, imagine the possibilities for phone and laptop cooling
  • @stevengioiosa2065
    I really appreciate your commitment to iterating on this design. Most youtubers tend to stop at proof of concept and move on to the next thing that will generate views, but you truly seem to do it for the knowledge and it shows. Thank you for helping push the world forward
  • @damncat2793
    I am impressed how well you explained brushless motors in the beginning! Great work!
  • @robin2080
    we need to get this man a metal 3d printer
  • @DrTimmay
    Love the description of the iterative development of your projects. Many, many others only describe the final working version of their respective designs. I learn as much probably more! from errors/missteps of others; they made the mistakes so we don't have to. And as always, I appreciate the chapter markers! I know it takes some time to set up and they aren't strictly necessary, So just wanted to let you know that we appreciate them! 👍
  • @rafa_br34
    I can't wait to see how successive the subsequent iterations will be. Great job!
  • @Maleko48
    I love everything about this video and your concept, EXCEPT the part where you are staring at an object rotating 30k rpms on its radial axis with no safety glasses or face shield, etc. Stay safe my friend. I hope none of your experiments ever "let go" and bring you harm. We need more people like you!
  • @tyronejk
    Super cool! Your 5 g lift measurement is fairly conservative too, as that fan you tested looks very simple and not optimized for this application.
  • @pratyushkar8426
    You have put a lot of work into this buddy.... kudos for your success and keep working hard we love it!!
  • I remember seeing one of your first videos and being impressed but wow the improvement!
  • @Gold63Beast
    Your videos are GOLD! Very very informative, entertaining, and innovative. Amazing.
  • @colbyjohnson2344
    Unreal. This is brilliant work. I'm loving these updates. Keep it up!
  • @IBoughtItMyself
    World class research being done by a YouTuber in public. What a gift.
  • @ricrodrigh1
    Such a cool video. I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into each iteration of your board.
  • @1_HighDuke
    You are a modern sorcerer! Well done!
  • @SmileyFace01
    great progress. I love watching it develop like this
