How do Silencers Work and the Science Behind them

You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.

I wonder why there are not versions of suppressor that have small holes along the can to relieve pressure before the final exit? Wouldn't some small holes let out some pressure and help ?

A penis..I am sure I saw a penis somewhere...!! Can it be that owning a silencer is a freudian purchase. Like....my gun is bigger than yours.. The reason for using one is of secondairy importance?

What about the faster than sound boom...is the function of a silencer also to reduce speed of a bullit below the speed of sound?

Excellent video

Dude I was so confused as to why it doesn’t turn or mess with a bullets direction. Like how come the bullet doesn’t change directions when it’s going through the silencer chambers

"bullet coming out"
draws a dick*

Hi. when I have a 9mm caliber, what is the diameter of center hole of suppressor.

Thats a naughty looking 🔫 😂🤣

Questioning artistic abilities

A mole is not the same thing as a molecule

Ok so I was right I thought that's how it worked

Basically silencers are the actual name the person who made gave the thing; as the aim of it was to “silence” the gunshot. But because they don’t actually “silence” the shot they just “suppress” it, people called it suppressors

What if we make the baffles upside down .... or say make the first 2 baffles in reverse and the rest in normal position... Cos the angle of shock wave makes such an angle ... would it reduce the Db???

Thanks. It was a great explanation.

Gonna have to go by soon!

...shhhhh 🤫, l just subscribed..
I wish my physics teacher was as articulate and simple as the way you explained things..

I used brass tubes with holes drilled through it. I surrounded the tube with aspestice for the exit out of barrel. Then used rubber baffles for the last 5 inches. It worked. The 22 jammed often. However I learned from a friend that you're not supposed to build that kind of thing. Which is bullshit I target shoot!!!! Not kill.

What do you mean by action?

Lol, you know what the second drawing looks like right

If only it were that simple! Surprisingly, increasing volume doesn't always work. It can actually make the silencer louder. The main challenge in any suppressor design is pulling the laminar column of gas away from its path of least resistance and somehow getting it to voluntarily go inside the baffles instead of out the bore. Since you can't have anything directly in its path, as it would strike the bullet, the only way you have to control it is pressure differentials inside the can. That's why all successful designs have some kind of baffle clips. It creates an area of low pressure, which causes the laminar column to bend and get trapped in the baffle stack. Then it's like a pileup on the interstate, so the gas exiting the silencer is less focused. Getting that column to bend and drive itself into the baffles has a lot to do with the length of the silencer.

Could a suppressor or something similar to a suppressor be used to lower the noise level of a portable generator ? I know exhaust muffler's will obviously but they seem to choke the engine.

Amazing vid, the fact that you went for the equation makes it so much easier to understand and deduce the rest by yourself. Thanks !

Yo u had me off da rip when u said
" hey guys resdy 4 some high tech comp graphics" thing
Foreal63💯

Need a updated video with all the new models / types of suppressors out there

Am I the only one to find the lower drawing rather phallic?

I WAS WAIT'N 4 U 2 ERASE THAT PENIS SHAPE GUN U HAD THERE MY FRIEND 😁👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

so well versed in computer graphics, audio, and physics. And the way you draw.. modern day Leonardo DaVinci

Very informative, terrible art work... Pistol on the bottom look like a dick. 😂🤦

Higher the pressure the louder the pop n father it's gonna go. Nice lil science lesson lol

The only science is how they can maintain these outrageous prices.

Bunch of Bull Crap.

In other words, if you had a suppressor with baffles full of dry ice, it would sound like a mouse farting.

While applying silencer do we gain more or less recoi?

What if the bullet hits the edge of the baffles?

Nice penis drawings

Why did you draw a dick and balls?

I am looking for a design that uses modified Tesla Valve type design. Do not know if gases can be slowed down like fluids in a can. A Tesla valve would cause an explosion or at least extremely high pressures inside the can, so the mods would have to allow for escape of gas. Whether that could be along the length of the can or just toward the front. Curiosity here.

You can drop a lit "lady finger" firecracker into a barrel or pipe, and you can hear how loud those gases are. Quite shocking if you're used to lady fingers going off in the open air....

Thank you for not uttering the idiotic phrase "it traps the gases". Too many people believe that shit and it's just not true. I do have one point of contention and the otherwise brilliant explanation. You don't mention Bernoulli's principle, and where turbulent flow of a liquid does increase the thermal exchange rate, the constrictions actually do more to reduce the pressure than eliminate temperature.

Would have ben hilarious if you would have yelled BANG without breaking character while you were explaining why guns are loud

although its late to comment I like your graphics the best ever!!!

oh cool, a penis gun 😂

the concept is scientifically effective, hopefully in my part as well

FYI, the projectile aggregate velocity can be traveling at a speed less than sonic speed (1114 feet per second )(760mph). The reason is...air has to go around the bullet, and this airflow speed is therefore faster than the speed of the bullet travel speed. That bullet can therefore create sonic shock waves at less than the sprred of the bullet travel speed. So it can sonic crack at sbullet speeds less than 1,114 FPS. The temperature is the largest factor in how much. Colder temp slower mach speed, warmer temp faster mach speed to reach mach 1.

This video has been sponsored by health care industry CEOs. 😅 Seriously, i keep getting recommendations for the pistol silencer videos lately, and i dont even own a silencer for a pistol. Learned a lot lately, like you need to have a booster if you don't want to rack the slide after each shot.😊

Its a suppressor u idiot
