Beyond the engineering and planes and house and pool and all of that which are amazing, another great thing about these videos is whoever is filming and editing them does a phenomenal job of showing everything in a super tight, snappy, and interesting way. :-) Just the way things are cut, what is filmed and shown, your presentation and explanations. Really all around one of the best channels on CZcams.
I totally agree! Mike, your work right out there for all to see, and is mind boggling, but the work done on these videos is of a similar quality, and deserves a shout out.
To whoever puts these videos together...your work is amazing!
I've filmed videos for over 20 years. The editing is easy compared to the mental gymnastics my brain has to do in order to follow along with the stuff Mike is trying to explain. I know it's PERFECTLY logical, but I still have a hard time following along. LOL
How cool
Mike, the intelligence that you and brother Mark, possess, in ALL THINGS engineered, is so mind boggling to me. I'm a man, but if I were your wife and you were to kick the bucket, I would be saying to myself "How on earth am I suppose to know HOW to operate this pool by myself. Heck Mike, I'm ALREADY Lost by just Watching how you engineered this pool! And why is it that I feel like a dummy after watching your videos?
I agree on the best channel on CZcams Engineering is my life, my dad’s life and grandfather’s life!
Designing your parts for welding with no margin for human error is brilliant. Ikea should hire you.
i found mike when he was building draco and i could hardly believe what i was seeing. almost five years later (what!!?) and i _still_ can hardly believe it. what a guy.
I caught Draco when he first started flying it. Been hooked ever since! Favorite youtube channel
With all the craziness in the world at the moment, you and your family are a breath of fresh air, setting an example to all the good people on this planet.
Totally agree
Yeah, what you can do if you're rich and what you can't do if you're poor.
@@opieshomeshop It seems like you don't know this but Mike and his family grew up extremely poor. Him and his brother Mike began building decks to help support their family as teenagers. They built that company sold it and have built several companies since then. They are the poster children of wealth mobility in the US.
If Mike wasn't rich, he'd just build another company and become rich anyway. The man is an absolute machine and has worked incrediblly hard for all he has.
@@opieshomeshop I bet if I were to give you 100,000 you would be flat broke in less than a year.
That is why most people that just sit and complain never achieve anything.
Meanwhile this guys working his ass off enjoying life.
I’m a Mechanical Engineer and these videos make my brain Happy! Amazed and Inspired - Back to Work!
There are very few people I actually admire. There are even less people that I would express that admiration for. Mike is an admirable man living an admirable life, and he’s living it admirably well. He raises everyone along with himself. He literally and actually makes the world a better place. I admire you Mike. Thank you.
Hi Mike, I just wanted to show my appreciation for the effort you put in to these videos. The world needs to see what one motivated man can accomplish in a full day of work. Thank you!
Totally!
You have become one of my favorite CZcamsrs. I'm a family man myself, and I love seeing the pride in your eyes as you discuss your kids helping on the house. Keep up the amazing work, and don't change!
For reference, I know you're SO MUCH MORE than a CZcamsr, but I watch you on CZcams. lol Soo...
I am now convinced the word Impossible is not in Mike's vocabulary. This is amazing and I love it.
My Dad was an engineer, I loved sitting behind him at his drafting table and watched him design calculate and create ways to revolutionize, dredging, alluvial gold recovery, steel scraping, logging equipment just to name a few. You remind me of him, I love watching you design and build everything you do. Everything you do is in service to others and for that reason you are divinely blessed and guided by God and the entire Angelic realm. I love watching your videos it fascinates me. It takes me back to my childhood watching Dad design, calculate and create back when there were no computers. 👏
So cool! I can totally relate to this. My grandfather was a nuclear engineer and a lot the same way.
Between all these secret planes, the house, and the PC12 upgrades…I’m hooked!!!
I literally painted a door this weekend and my back hurts. Mike is a machine.
Just use a brush next time!
😂🤠
So freaking excited to see what else you are building. You are an amazing individual Mike.
I can't imagine anyone NOT getting in a great mood from seeing you do what you do and talk about what you've done and plan to do. It's done with such a degree of enthusiasm and it's just simply mindbogling to think about how you have hours to get it all congretisezed. And above that I'm absolutely sure you have a million more ideas that you've yet to but down on paper.
Please keep up the good work. You're an absolute inspiration! :-D
Mike - you made making a pool into proper engineering project. Most pool builders would never do the quality of work of drawings and modeling. Bravo sir, every pool builder in America should watch the build series how to proper engineer a project.
Just because it makes sense dosen't mean it's not still bat sh*t crazy! Love it Mike, can't wait for opening day!
Floating platforms are very common over here in the Netherlands for exercise pools. I build a few of these pools.
The floors were made of hollow stainless beams filled with foam blocks, there was some space between the beams for the water to flow trough.
It's very safe that the floor wants to float and you have to pull it down with cables.
NOW I get it! I couldn't figure out how this was all going to work together! That is amazing! As a soon-to-be former auto mechanic, this is the kind of engineering I would absolutely LOVE - a design that makes everyone's life easier in servicing! Nonexistent these days in the automotive world - one of the main reasons I'm leaving the industry. I can't take the frustration anymore. I guess I was fortunate / unfortunate enough to grow up in a time where that was more commonplace. I appreciate the time you took to explain this setup. That is ingenious!! That'll work for a hundred years and not need much at all! Can't wait to see the layout up top when it's all done. Now I can picture it! 👍😎👍
Whether it's airplanes, houses, or just tugs, your engineering genius never ceases to amaze me. Just to think, the profit from my Best Tug paid for about one yard of concrete in this project.
If your hangar becomes too crowded I'll be happy to hangar Turbulence for you. You've made some awesome stuff since you made that, but Turbulence has always been my favorite. Of course I'm a speed junkie and classic muscle car collector, so that would naturally be my favorite.
Another heart pill so I can survive the excitement of what's happening and what is yet to happen. The word for this video is "anticipation."
The peanut butter jar and lid idea: The lid would be the deck/bottom of the pool. The deck would move up/down my means of turning clockwise/counterclockwise on the polyurethane type material (in order to avoid corrosion) circular screw. Screw teeth on the inside of the pool wall would be paired with screwed teeth on the side of the lid. Figuring out the way to make the lid turn would be the challenge. Just like opening/closing a peanut butter jar! Can´t wait to see this amazing project finished, Mike!
15:15 that is design for manufacture at its finest. Love the simplicity of those tabbed and sized components. Inspirational.
Man, I was stressing out today because I have to do my laundry.. How do you do it all Mike ? I always love when Mike works 20 hours a day and then designs something while he's laying in bed !!! 🤣🤣
Well designed Mike! I figured the holes and grating out when you first described this project to us. I figured the platform would have neutral buoyancy, but really had no idea what you would do for a drive system. The floating platform and oppositional cable drive is cool!
From laying in bed with a problem that needed a solution to then come up with this brilliant but simple idea and the make it reality.. Must feel satisfying! Love following your though process, the physics behind the decisions you have made.
Thank you once again 👊
I’m pretty smart myself but I would’ve NEVER thought of making the platform float and simply pulling it down! That’s Genius and so simple! I want to be like you when I grow up lol
Look at that! Visalia, CA! Only 30min away! My flight instructor passed away last year. Amazing guy and a day away from his 96th bday! Always thinking deep in the knowledge like you! Awe inspiring! I enjoy your engineering mind!
Amazing engineering as always, mr. Patey. You are a great example of the detail work that separates the "amazing" from the "good enough".
If more floatation was needed over for forces in the cables I'd also have considered floodable tanks in the deck/pool floor structure that lighten the load when flooded but provide lots of floatation when emptied. Keeping the only filling points above the "full up" position would ensure that a slow leak should be detectable easily in time and no risk of accidental flooding through a fill opening. If the deck needs to sink, use a pump to fill the tanks until it's sinkable and pull it under with the cables.
Mike, every time I embark on a difficult endeavor I always, always cue a video and watch your intro. It’s a great motivation and gets my mind right, it an inspiration and more importantly you are an inspiration. THANK YOU!
@Mike , how do you know so much? My mind is boggled just listening…you are a true GENIUS
You aren’t a twin, you are a quadruplet :-). You & Mark have must have another twin each to get all of this work done. Maybe you have figured out cloning :-). Super excited to see this pool done, and can’t wait to see the plane builds. Keep it up.
Mike, I finally get all this - this is really just a big pill for you, say, Mike's Life Support System! Your outlet. Without which you would die from either bordom or say Explode from all that mind energy not having a direction! You keep keeping on Sir Mike - your are amazing. Thanks for showing us what a human body is capable of -
Wow I bet your brain never stops to rest. awesome engineering Mr. Patey. Can not wait till you show us your plane videos
Really enjoy your content Mike. You are the ultimate DIY-er! Obviously i don't know you personally, but you seem like a really genuine guy who loves life and loves his family. It's really refreshing to see. Thank you!
I found myself captivated by the thought you've already put in this. I think in flush floor duties it's going to need to be locked off. Pinned. A floating platform could still gap, as human weights fluctuate from side to side. Wow, what a custom piece of art this is going to be.
That was my first thought too. This way you could also make it less buoyant and reducing the tension on the cables.
I suspect he will put adjustable rollers on the outside edge of the platform to prevent lateral movement.
But that is the fun of this project, you think about the issues and how you would solve them. Then compare to Mike’s solution.
I'm thinking pins will not be needed because Mike said the floor is going to be "thick". I'm thinking about 2' thick with maybe a 1" gap between the floating floor and side walls. Even if 50 people stood on one side of the floor it couldn't rotate or sink more than 1" even without cables. But with the four corners held by cables there should be no rotational movement at all. I'm excited to see them build this floor and lower it into place. I'm an architect and engineer, also a pilot therefore to watch what Mike designs just blows me away from a new wing design to a scuba diving deep residential swimming pool, and sooo much more! Just incredible and I always stop everything as soon as I see a new video come out! You're my hero Mike!
I think you are bang on because what would happen if everyone on the floor suddenly started dancing? By dancing I mean, everyone on the floor jumping up and down in unison and not necessarily centered in the middle of the floor. That is a whole different ball game than a regular commercial floor load. Opera houses have collapsed because of people dancing in their seats even though there was no possible water to resonate with their movements as in this case. This is a lot more serious. I think that it would be a lot better if the floor were pinned as well.
@@JHarv901 I am a mechanical engineer myself and can tell you, that even though it is possible to do it that way, it certainly is not the most convenient way to do it. I admire Mike for trying it this way and I am sure, he will succeed, but that does not change the fact, that he choose the hard route. Nothing wrong in that. Just not what I would have done. Certainly a work of art in the end though. If you just make it buoyant enough to float to the top and then lock it in place, you have the easiest and most secure way to deal with every possible scenario. If it about looks, he can easily make the "invisble" to the people standing on the float.
Amazing work! Love the engineering behind it! I couldn’t imagine the amount of people that probably say “why bother going to all that effort” , but this is going to be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen built into a home! Awesome work, can’t wait to see more updates!
You should have 10 million subscribers!!!
how you tab the weldments makes me happy. Im a designer and fabricator among other things, and I always make it a point to tab in parts that get welded together. It eliminates layout for the welder, and everything is true and consistent. A few extra minutes on the design end saves so much potential for error on the fab side.
Mike you are an engineering genius from everything that you touch.👍❤️🇨🇦
love the progress you make in different fields would just be nice to get more follow up content on past projects even recent ones some bits feel like they were missed despite watching every single video
I can only describe this as a love hate relationship ; ) mostly love lol. The house is unbelievable! I'm very much looking forward to the new aircraft builds. The hate part is I hate waiting. Love all the videos!
Ghee Mike, just love listening to you explaining everything, I’m no genius but I’m learning heaps , thanks 🙏 😊
Mike,you make my head hurt!!🤯🤣🤣... your one amazing person and I LOVE your content! Thanks and keep it up... back to work!💪
I was thinking scissor lift mechanism but was concerned about all the corrosion issues including the hydraulics. This is much better and now I have seen it, quite obviously the best idea.
Mike and anyone who helps. This was by far, the best edited video I’ve seen from you. The visual explanation of these incredible, and challenging projects helps so much in guiding us to what’s going on in that brain made of solidworks in your head. Keep stuff like that coming. Love to see what you’re inventing/ engineering next!
Love this project!! Gotta hear how you got this past Zoning & Permitting… That's the biggest magic here!
You need your own TV show.... just amazing.
That tease at the end!! Just flew a new plane? OMG,, I cant wait!!
Neutral buoyancy platform pulled down by cables/pulleys... It will work. Three suggestions:
-Ability to adjust platform's buoyancy (water tanks, like in a submarine) will save time whenever you want to adjust its level.
-Ability to adjust the water flow (hole diameter) would add safety: closed hole = no water flow = no (or very slow) down movement.
-Build the plaform out of large, closed cell, foam chunks. Glue, shape to taste and try. Once approved, coat the outside with LOTS of epoxy/glass.
Lastly: remember to passivate stainless steel parts.
Unbelievable engineering!! Can’t wait to see it all come together.
I like your videos so much I wish they were longer. Your engineering prowess is next level. Your platform design which is elegant in it's simplicity was described masterfully to your audience. Thanks, Mike!
I can't count the amount of times I said "This is so ridiculous!" with the biggest smile on my face. What a special dude.
Mike's videos should be used as standard curriculum instruction in high schools around the country. He's an amazing example of what's possible with ideas, tenacity, and enthusiasm. Imagine an instructor taking what Mike does, then getting into the details of how. So many great teaching moments in all his projects. Even if engineering isn't appealing to some, there's excellent life lessons in ideas, problem solving, and hard work.
By far one of the best engineers of my time. I truly mean it!! Love watching you create things that are extraordinary l!!
How many engineers do you really know, and or know of though? Let's be real here.
I’ve been following for a long time , your projects you take on and figure out blow my mind !! , No moss on the bottom of your shoes, well done and keep them coming , back to work 👍👍👍
Very creative... I was trying to come up with something similar to make a cable lift for a pop-up camper. Of course it doesn't float... so I needed additional pulleys to change the pulling direction... I've seen others do it. But now, doing this in water with a floating platform is genius!!
Been thinking about all the snow falling in the mountains near you, and the fact you have that stream behind your house. Hope all goes well for you during spring runoff.
Mike, you are utterly amazing. You are smarter and more energetic than 10 normal men. Cool stuff and I eagerly await each video.
Hey Mike, I’m not an engineer, but I love the way you explain things to us. It’s easy enough for me to understand. Can’t wait to see this crazy project come to a head. Back to work.
Great engineering and I love your ideas! One thing though, a three legged chair never wobbles.
Congratulations on 300k subscribers! Back to work!
Thanks for making me feel good about our world. Take care.
…and I’m totally exhausted just watching the video, Mike please bottle and sell all the excitement & enthusiasm you have 💪🏽 put me down for a bottle …….
this shows that simple solutions often are the best :D they often just hide in plain sight :D
I can recommend Dyneema as rope material. I would probably use SK99 due to its tencile strength. If you are concerned about breaking due to rubbing on edges. These ropes are available with aramid (kevlar) woven into the outer layer of the rope.
Can’t wait to see all your projects, I think your swimming pool deck will be worthy for Dancing with The Stars.😊😊
Awesome projects! Happy to see turbulence back in the shed too!
Amazing! I would expect nothing else from Mike Patey!
I'm amazed you only have 300k subscribers. You deserve millions.
Cool stuff, I was a lifeguard instructor and was thinking this would be a cool way to keep people safe!
I can't believe this channel only has 301k subscribers... there's a massive population of individuals just wandering through life in abject deprivation of what pure awesomeness is and apparently don't even know it. 😂
Can't wait to see all the crazy builds. Your an amazing guy. I wish I had half the ambition and energy that you have. Back to work.
Your use of a Sharpie = Bob Ross use of a 2" brush! So happy to see the progress of your, "Back to work"!
would be interesting to include a set of radius cut wheel in the sides to keep it centre, differential brake that runs off the winch line to release when pulling down, but apply when weight is appliednfrom the top, and some minor tuned mass damping in the flaoting body, so that people suddenly moving around the platfoem won't cause any vibration at all.
Leonardo would be proud. Truly amazing.
Mike....you're ingenuity would embarrass every wanna be on The Apprentice 🙂
Kudos to your editor for the clip from "The Party"!
That welding work is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!
The Rebar pass through and holes for 'crete to fill thru too, those things in 8" of rebar fed through and bolted and expoied down to the 2' footer i rocket tied to it would not be able to pull those out!
I'm enjoying the videos and love the shirts and especially the cuffed beanie! Such amazing engineering here, and I love the way you have thought through every single detail of this enormous project. It is so well explained in the video and I watched it several times to let it all sink in, as it were. And forgive me for this, but I couldn't help laughing when in the midst of the description of the complexities involved and the elegant solutions implemented, your video graphics editor got LOSE and LOOSE mixed up. (6:00) I know the pain of finding misspelled text in a published video; I do it all the time. Can't wait to see the airplanes in the works!
This pool design is pretty hecking exciting! Awesome stuff.
Maybe air ballast to increase the platform’s buoyancy in dance floor mode? This could allow the static buoyancy to be closer to neutral, decreasing the cable tension required to move it
That'd add a bunch of complexity though, and also weaken the platform. I mean it'd still work, but it's solving a non-existent problem.
Each of those cables will easily hold a few dozen tons, so cable strength shouldn't be a limiting factor. And using worm gears and only aiming to move it slowly, there's also no problem generating large forces.
Maybe flood it to sink it and air compressor it to float it since your going the composite route, even simpler/safer than cables?. Love Mike btw
I thought air could’ve been the primary means of actuation as well, but I do like the redundancy of the cables. Seems they’d be the easiest way to have infinite set points of depth. Also, I’d feel really nervous spending even a minute under that platform with negative static buoyancy! Thinking of becoming a deep underwater pancake, that’s nightmare fuel right there!
@@bigtex879 for air to be the primary control, you'd have to operate the platform close to neutral buoyancy. That'd mean a very wobbly platform unless you did resort to locking pins at a few predetermined levels.
All good re pancake either way btw, no one ever goes underneath the platform except for maintenance.
Yes, I understand it’s the buoyancy force, whether static or dynamic, pulling against a mechanical limiter that stabilizes the platform. The advantage of a dynamic system is simply that it reduces the forces/wear on the cables. I see no complexity or inherent structural weakness in adding bladders and single pneumatic circuit. The platform could even be built with a simple convex shape to hold air under it. A compressor fills it, and gravity alone would purge it back out via siphon
Always a pleasure when I get to see your latest video. You’ve got to be the hardest working person I’ve seen. The engineering you come up with boggles my mind and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next. Your brother did an amazing job on the video for the Pilatus aircraft that was being updated with a new engine wiring plus Garmin instrumentation. Now get back to work.👍👍🇨🇦
Way to go for keeping it Simple... KIS principle.... Thank you for the Brain stimulation !!! Hopefully one day I can meet you at Oshkosh ....
Mike when you started explaining the pulley system assemblies as soon as you mentioned the key ways, the first thing I thought of was "insert tab "A" into slot "A", insert tab "B" into slot "B" etc. Gawd I'm getting old. Great design for the floating deck!!!
Love your common sense approach to mechanical engineering. A lot of different shows I watch I can usually sit back and find something I would have done a little different, not yours! Yours I sit watch and learn.
I guess without being there and seeing the depth of this floor I wonder about stability if it gets side loaded. I'm sure you've thought that all out. Love everything you do seen every video a lot of them twice.
Mike your videos are first class entertainment,
Mike you are blowing our minds. OUTSTANDING.....
Love the engineering Mike! Nothing you do is half-arsed - all is the way it should be done, when it comes to proper engineering. ❤
Mike, I don’t know how you do it. I’m blown away by your amazing mind. God has truly blessed you with an awesome gift!
I'm physically POOPED OUT from just Thinking about how much work you do Mike !!!! Truly inspiring, thank you !!!
Oh my gosh! Can not wait to see more!
Think I’d want some locking pins for it at the dance floor level, so if your party guests are pulling some moves on the dance floor they won’t get seasick.
This would also help keep the floor from sagging if a crowd of folks move to one side of the floor.
I'd be pretty disappointed if the design doesn't already allow for all the guests to jump up and down together at one edge of the platform without so much as a wobble.
How is Mike’s channel not at 3M subs? There is nothing like this on CZcams!
Just OUTSTANDING work Mike!
Love your video's, as many of us do! I'm very curious for your choice of cable as it was never mentioned. I used to own a marina with (198) covered slips. The anchoring system was key to its success we used a cable system with concrete blocks for anchors, a lot of them. Anyway we did encounter issues with using cables though, in our case with high winds it would put high stress on the cables. This caused the cable(s) to unwind, that's not so much a problem, it was when the stress subsided that caused the cables to wind back up and kink up, for lack of words. My point, I'm hoping you video stress testing the cable of choice to the limits your planning for. BTW we used swivels on the anchor ends and that helped some.
This was one of the things I was most interested about. The floor and mechanism.
Hi Mike, Thanks for everything you do with your CZcams videos. Always something new to learn. I would love to see a discussion on how you're addressing any potential corrosion issues with the metals you're using and the variable environment. Years ago I worked on a problem at Steinhart Aquarium. It involved a large aquarium called the "Round-About" and the 316 stainless steel window frames. Corrosion was occurring at the welds and was aggressive. Control involved Cathodic Protection. Again, Thank you for all you do.
You Patey's ROCK!!
I'm so glad I CZcams recommend this build. Absolutely loving this series. Can't wait for the next one
Thanks Mr. Patey for your videos, they are the BEST.
