    So we got some fire power, it had way more power without the cone on which surprised me. so I'm currently mounting it on the tank and plating up the sides so next video it will be done. Hope you've enjoyed this project as its been a beast.

      I'd like to underline the "new" part of this, mechanical engineering naturally overlaps with electrical engineering in plenty of ways, I mean at 2:50 he's got beefy power cables flipping electrical solenoids. But a full microcontroller/Arduino driving a staged relay board is a whole other kettle of fish, he's completely crossed disciplines to get it done, he got into NERD CODE

    Colin, you're a brilliant maker and someone I admire. I subscribe to plenty of channels but you're someone I actually admire.
    That being said, I would love if you had a "behind the scenes" channel, or anything that might give those of us who are interested more insight into your design and testing. Your videos are polished gems, just like your inventions. However, every engineer knows that there is an unimaginable amount of work and obstacles behind each of these products in terms of research, design, component selection, etc. I don't know if you even have the time and I know plenty of what you do is confidential because of contracts with your sponsors, but I'd love to see your design process for something like this. I'd love to know more about the software you use, who you collaborate with on designs if anyone, what designs you develop that never come to fruition, etc etc etc. I think you have more to offer to those of us who want to know, and it could even be lucrative.
    Thanks for doing what you do. I absolutely love your videos.

    In case no one has let you know, they actually did put flamethrowers on tanks. This was done by most major powers in WWII, and saw use on both European fronts as well as in the Pacific. They were really good for clearing out areas with thick vegetation or large concentrations of enemy infantry. They were also really good at deterring enemy soldiers from trying to get on the tank to disable it with explosives. Flamethrowers weren't standard issue for tanks, but they were common enough to be well documented.
