#WhyWeEngine: Warped Perception's Stories With Stirlingkit Behind the Camera
August 07, 20246 years ago, when I was in college, I suddenly saw on TV news how a strong man wearing a black hat used his lens to show how the transparent combustion chamber of the engine works. At that time, I was completely shocked by this cool video, because in the past, we basically learned mechanical knowledge from books and could only memorize various drawings and plans by force, so you can imagine how shocked I was at that moment. The working principle of the engine in the book was suddenly presented in front of us in a visual way. Words cannot express my shock.
5 years ago, I was fortunate to join Stirlingkit team. At that time, I was responsible for marketing job. Our brand urgently needed to cooperate with some professional influencers to increase our brand exposure. When I started searching for "engine" on YouTube, I realized that the video I had seen before was made by the Youtube Channel Warped team. I found that this crazy man was called Matt. He made a lot of crazy car-related content on his YouTube channel Warped (Original Name: Warped Perception). Each of his videos is of very high quality and has maintained a high standard for many years. I think it is not easy for a content creator. He said. "I believe that slow motion and super slow motion videos allow us to see a world that we usually can't see but we know it exists." He often uses his lens to show his unique and creative ideas, and I think this is why after so many years, the audience has never left. One of my old customers told me, "As long as it is a new video of Warped, I must watch it every night before going to bed. It's my engine porn every night" At that time, I thought, it would be great to work with such an excellent person like him. So from that moment on, a small dream was planted in my heart. So I started to contact him actively. At first, he rejected me. I guess he didn't know how to connect our engine model with his channel. However, I contacted him many times later, and finally, very fortunately, Matt agreed to cooperate with Stirlingkit. That is the "Stirling engine Blow Up" video you saw later. I remember very clearly that he said, I don’t want to make an ordinary unboxing video, instead, I want to do sth fun and cool, how about we try to blow up this engine? So in that video, Matt pushed this small Stirling engine to the limit and made it run as fast as possible by applying as much heat as possible to the hot side of the engine. This little Stirling engine reaches an astonishing 4,000 RPM. It is a video worth watching. I dare say that even after so many years, this video is still the best Stirling engine-themed video I have ever seen. Highly recommended.
To be honest, Warped has a certain influence on the development of model engines. In the past, if students wanted to understand how a car engine works, teachers would use textbooks, blackboards and teaching tools to explain the working process of the engine. Some students disassemble and assemble the engine in the laboratory, observe the internal structure, measure various parameters, etc. Most can only read professional books and manuals such as "Principles of Internal Combustion Engines" and "Basics of Mechanical Engineering" to learn. Only a few have the opportunity to visit factories, workshops and repair stations to observe the actual operation of real car engines. Warped uses his professional slow-motion lens to show the real state of the car engine operation. It is also through his lens that we know that the sparks ejected by the engine are as bright and beautiful as fireworks.
Like Warped, we were also facing a critical transformation period in the model engine industry at that time. At that time, we found that more and more young people began to like electric remote control cars instead of fuel-powered remote control cars. We also doubted whether we should continue to make model engines. Is nitro going to die? At that time, several of our engine enthusiasts gathered together to discuss, and they were very conflicted. Some customers told us that many RC engine models rekindled their youth. So these young people began to continue to study scale models, which is the creation and development of different brands you saw later, such as Toyan, Cison, Musa, Retrol, and Enjomor etc. A few years later, one of the brands, Toyan, became well-known. At that time, the founder of Toyan was also an engineer. It is said that he had also seen the Warped's video and was very shocked at the time. I guess the design of one of the see-through engine commemorative editions of Toyan should be influenced by Warped. Later, Matt also tested this engine model, and it was also as excellent as his previous videos.
Among so many topics, what I admire most is that Matt made many videos related to jet engines. Who would have thought of installing a jet engine on the Tesla Model S? He created a Tesla hybrid car with a range of more than 1,000 miles. The jet engine installed on the plane is a heat engine that can obtain propulsion through jets. He also used this engine to make many cool projects, such as scooters, Go-KartD, etc. . . Many professional influncers we have worked with, such as Johnny Q90, told me, "Matt is a very good video creator. I admire him very much. Respect."
Some time later, I found that his channel had not been updated for a long time. After careful inquiry, I was surprised to find that he had gone through a very difficult time because of an accidental brain injury. Fortunately, his vitality was very tenacious and he survived. I guess it may be because God knows that hell is too bitter, and there are still many people in the world waiting for him and needing him back. So God let him return to the world safely. He is back now, with his Tesla project.
