It's gonna be called a *tweel.* I don't care if Michelin has rights to that name. If they ever become popular, "tweel" will be the next genericized trademark.
@0xsergy: you can see all the strings of glue where it separated... that looks to me like rubber cement, it’s super flexible and really should have worked here... I can only assume they didn’t use enough
That's a cool idea! It's great to see the young bloke wearing gloves and safety glasses, he has a long working life ahead, so safety first! Also lovely to see the young lady on the channel!
Dont cut the hose, just wrap it around inside the tyre, pack it in round and round tightly and then attach it on the un-modified wheel like normal 🙂🙂🙂 . And ofcourse make 4 of them for real test.
@Barry Boppins who cares? The fact the prototypes don't have sidewalls makes them very prone to failures mid corner. They'd be torn apart by simply steering left or right.
@@RolandAshcroft I remember that one , he kept loosing his tracks during turns also. But been awhile since i have seen that. ( Maybe some progress since then?)
This shows how much we do have in common with our Russian friends. All you gear heads do the same stuff here and have just as much fun. Some things are world wide.
What I love about this channel is they try and try and try and more often than not their solution actually works. If you don't try, you'll never figure out what works and what doesn't. That's the essence of experimentation. With guys like them you'd never get stuck anywhere. Reminds me why the Germans with their superior technology in WW2 were defeated by the Russians with their 'good enough' 'let's do this' attitude. If anything, it should be a good lesson for us in the West with our arrogance and misplaced sense of superiority.
For glueing rubber you have to use a glue with galvanization properties. The same one used for tire repair kits. It basically melts a bit the surface and hardens it. Not sure if it would work with the hoses, but maybe it would be better than this. Then it might not be worth the effort again. :D
All that rubber shooting off looked so cool. Also Try doing a layer of pipe,Then a piece of thin rubber to make flat surface.( Also close off the sides with some old tyre to keep the pipes in place)
You should do this same thing, but pack it full of hose without cutting off the sidewalls. Looked cool like this, but I wonder what it's like with them being trapped inside of a tire.
And go to McDonalds drive thru and order "One shashlik and a large kompot, please, you western spy industrial meat producers" and then proceed to the window with the T34.
I think if you made it the same way again, but used a healthy supply of black windscreen glue instead of the rubber cement in all areas with enough time to dry. it would never come apart again. That stuff is such a nightmare to cut through and remove I think it would be perfect for this - it also remains flexible.
You guys need a sealant called "sticks like shit" or "tiger seal" you can repair engine mounts, and probably make a tire with it, it would be perfect for the job you done here.
What this needs is a machine built to mechanically abrade the outside of the pieces of hose, use a flap wheel on the inside of the tread too. Then use degreaser. There are priming and bonding agents that can be applied to make glues stick better to rubber and metal. Find one that works with a urethane adhesive like Gorilla Glue. Last item, the hose size should be chosen so that when the tread goes on it puts all the layers of hose under a bit of compression. With that and everything rally bonded together, and left to sit until the glue is completely dry, it might make it some distance before falling apart, or before the hose pieces rip apart internally as the glue peels away the outer layer.
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! FILL AN ENGINE WITH OIL BASED GLOSS PAINT INSTEAD OF OIL, AND SEE HOW LONG IT WiLL RUN/DRIVE FOR. COME ON LETS DO THIS!!! CHEERS!
The one they showed on the mower are Michelin tweel tires. We use them at work and they tear grass up on any turn. Feels like riding on flat tires. And you'll get stuck on flat ground if there's any clover in the grass
The hoses held the weight well So the problem is not theirs You should not cut a part of the tire You should put the hoses inside the tire And then you would connect the tire to the rim I think this would be the answer
Get a harder layer to cover the out side of the wheel tightly. Hopefully this would hold it in place, and keep the wheel running. But that experiment was really good I liked it
You must make that lada into a half track , its the only option now mr ruskie mentioned tracks make the back axle into some sort of snow mobile look a like then test it on allterrain and maybe water to get a snorkel for the engine and see how deep you can go IN A LADA OF COURSE best wishes from uk
If you used polymer caulking for bushings that will hold the tubes in place and maybe a metal ring to center the tire to the rim :) Tires have oil in them.....

I think you should put hose pieces into a tire, without taking off the tire's sidewalls👍
Interesting experiment. Others have already mentioned a stronger flexible adhesive which may have helped. Instead of removing the tread you could have left the tyre intact and glued the rubber hose into the tyre carcass and refitted the tyre normally onto the rim's bead. Thanks for a great program.
the best possible thing would probably to have a full wrapping of rubber around all the tubes so they arent able to move or go anywhere, and the outer rubber piece that actually touches the ground wont slide off.
Leave 1-2” of lip on both sides fill with larger tubes melt all together using melted rubber but leave a full rim section on both sides to connect to the wheel have cut outs for the tubes
