Bananas (including the peel) work as a low temperature lubricant. If you get it hot enough to boil of the water, it won't work. Like it works in old truck differentials if you just stuff it in.
Hey it was running at the 30 minute mark. It might make you home. I think having a gear-driven oil pump versus a splash oiling type system probably would make a big difference as well as the engine probably had some amount of oil in it as well.
I'm a retired firefighter and over the course of my career I have pretty much seen it all. Along comes PF saying "Lets Find Out!" proving me wrong. This was hilarious, thanks for putting this together along with all your other very entertaining videos.
Did anyone else laugh all the way through this video? Furthermore, how many books were read before finding an article on two men using bananas as engine oil?! This dude is awesome!!
I feel like he did the process entirely wrong I think they would have cooked the banana and squeeze the oil through a shirt. And Putting it into a cup. To remove the wax solids. They would also cook the peel as well to extract more oil.

@@jmanthackdaddy Bananas are mildly radioactive as I recall. So artificially forming a high decay, high energy isotope of potassium in a reactor may be possible. Could you imagine a radioactive pile of glowing Bananas! That would be hilarious!
I am now 80 years old and have personally seen Bannan peals used to stop an engine rod knock, used as rod bearings to boot, these have lasted for nearly two hours under an oil pressure feed system in automobiles on trade-ins'. Granted this was back there when I was in high school and shortly in my very early twenties when worked for a Used car lot dealer. This is a real and fully truthful statement.
My dad used strips of leather soaked in oil as rod bearings. I'm talking about in the 1940s when it was easy to drop the oil pan and get access to the crankshaft
Busted? That engine ran for 30mins even after seizing. I bet you could get a lot more run time if you had a constant/regulated flow of water. Maybe even enough time to make it back to base camp.

Still catching up on your many videos, fun stuff. Would be interesting to see a test of a similar engine running with just water as the lubricant to see how much of the engine surviving this was improved by the bananas.
Hi, there are many lubricants on the market using 'esther'oils as part of their base oil mixture. Those esthers are sometimes plantbased, palm oil, some small crops eyc... and avocado's could work fine for this but osn't an option due to the low yield of avocado's, it can't be mass produced at the levels we would use it for lubricating engines or machines. Fyi ofcourse they add additifs to the oil to give it wear protective properties, anti oxidation, etc

Test the best food grade oil as engine oil. Examples: olive, coconut, canola, soybean, avocado, peanut, sunflower, palm (please purchase sustainably farmed), etc.
Very cool how you show the thermal and frictional differences between using bananas and using oil, makes it easy to understand how it’s going to behave in the engine, though I didn’t expect it to work as a lubricant
I'm thinking the oils in the peels would have a lot more lubricity. I wonder if straight banana oil would work. I know it has a really light viscosity. It will make your whole shop smell like banana candy!
I think this may have been done with the more popular and now mostly extinct variety of bananas, the Gros Michel. They were known to be more oily and slippery than the Cavendish variety, which didn't rise in popularity until the Gros Michel were pretty much eradicated in the 1960s.
@@jusb1066 Was common to add the peels to differentials to stop the while for a time, as they made the oil inside a lot thicker and more of a gap filler, stopping gear to gear contact till they disintegrated.
@@ProjectFarm mate, may take advantage of you for one question? I about to buy a drill makita or dewalt but I’m not sure as I want to buy the right “battery platform”, if you know what I mean. Starting from zero, what would you choose?
If you've ever watched an engine teardown video, you know that as they tear it apart, more and more oil spills out. I am wondering if the reason it worked for those guys is that the bananas may have stuck to the bottom and filled up the oil pan, so that the little amount of oil that remained after the leak was better able to stay in the important parts. I remember a video of a bunch of guys trying to bring a bunch of semi trucks across several countries in Africa had a differential leak and had to stuff bananas in there at every stop to make it, as there was no way to get it properly repaired along the way. However, a differential is very different from an engine.
I first started seeing his videos when he only had 24k subscribers, now he has over 1 million, he's come a long way, keep up the good work project farm!
I'm thinking this one is a partial myth. My guess is that they were just low on oil so they added the bananas to get the level back up, but the engine still mostly had normal oil in it.
More like... Since creation day 3! Genesis 1:9-13 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth †grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Thank you
I prefer 5w-BW as the thickness was set up room temperature. Lol
......you know.....we've all had that time in our lives when some small-engined machine that we own just wouldn't run. Replace this, replace that....little guy just won't work. Frustrating.
...but project farm runs an engine for 30 mins with water and bananas in the crank. FML
Thank you!
I bet he's REALLY good at small engine repair.
@@iamzid Yuuuup.
I laughed all the way through this. I've seen quite a few videos of yours now and that's the first Briggs I've seen you cook. I rescue these engines all the time and love getting them going again, but I didn't realise they were so durable.
Glad you enjoyed
That poor ol engine has seen some stuff. Great video. Thank you.
lol Thanks for watching! You are welcome!
avocado have alot of oil maybe that would work better !!!!!!!
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm Coconut oil as engine oil?
I'd like to see it tried!
He needs to use olive oil for italian cars
NOOOOOOOOOO
Welp, there's a video i thought i'd never see.
Thanks brother
Thank you
Metoo
Take a shot of whiskey everytime Todd says bananas!
I thought I had seen it all when you tested bacon grease as engine oil. But then this... Glad you're safe and the engine didn't explode or get severely damaged.
Thanks for watching.
Ah yes. Bananas. Just as good as castrol oil
Lol I read that colasteroal
Not as good as Castrol but maybe as good as Quaker State.
@The TacomaKid you're welcome 🌮
Ya! Bananas. Way to go
LoL, is supposed to be mashed up skins. They did that for a differential case on this one show in Africa.
I have seen it done before. You need to use the peel too
"..then we come back and put the bananas in the crankcase."
Well, now that is a line I never I think I would hear in my life.
Thanks for the feedback.
You had my curiosity
But now you have my attention
Thanks for watching.
This is the only channel I have the subscription bell turned on for.
Also...
This concept is just nuts.
Wait, I meant banan- whatever.
Thank you very much!!
Mmmmm banana nut bread
TO SHOW YOU THE POWER OF FLEXTAPE, I SAWED THIS ENGINE IN HALF; and ran it on only bananas
LOL Thank you!
2 years old and still easily one of my favorites!
Thanks!
Very educational video!!! Great Job!!!!
Thank you
Huh...
So potassium prevents cramps in people, but CAUSES cramps in engines.
Now make a loaf of Banana Bread using Mobil 1.
lol. Great point
A white potato with its skin has more than double the potassium. Mash potatoes with skin engine oil replacement needed!
@@lightdark00 With butter, sour cream and chives to be safe!
Well, potassium is actuallu used as a substitute for lead in engines that were made for leaded gasoline so I would say that it by itself does not cause cramps in engines.
Emmm I could use a slice of chocolate chip banana loaf from Tim Hortons right now
Why didnt you use the blended banana for the friction test?
"Ok! the banana level is full!" Sooo funny!
Thanks for watching!
You are literally, 'the man!!!' Love your videos!!!! Thank you!!!!
I've seen the banana trick used for axle grease in the desert, back areas in Africa... not oil though.
You are welcome!
