Can You Ride A Bike With Tungsten Filled Tires? 

Fun fact: Tungsten in powder form is flammable and may ignite spontaneously in air

"You are lousy smugglers, and this is the worst cocaine I've ever tasted." - the cop who saw them doing this

In theory (assuming the wheels are perfectly balanced) the bike should be a lot more stable due to the gyroscopic effect of the high-mass spinning tires. (I think???) It would be really interesting to see a follow up video where the tires are a lot more balanced to test and see if that actually holds true. If anyone is an expert on this topic please reply to me with some insight!

I want to see you guys running more and carrying more weight in hotter weather 😈

You guys adapted to make entertaining videos so quick, at first it was just you guys cutting random shit but now it’s whole projects

(20 years from now) Were you or someone you love injured by inhaling tungsten powder?

Fill the tire with tungsten mixed with silicone then spin the tire. The centrifugal force will balance out all the tungsten/silicone mix. This would also work if you could find a way to spin just the tire. Then you could just pour the mix right into the open tire.

This is easily the best video with the new crew so far, you can't replace the licker and megamind but you're alright in my book

With all due respect to the new crew, I miss Mitchell.

Lmao I'm dying. That front tube weighs the same as my full carbon road race bike 😂

Niel please wear sandals on your next video.

“Gyroscopes” bikes are already self balancing because the pivot point is behind the tire, now the tire has a ton of mass that’s magnified the faster you go. I would call it “coast master”

I miss the old Waterjet channel

It's honestly disappointing just how many people are complaining about Dan and Mitchell being gone. All channels go through evolution, and sometimes different people take over. I don't imagine Dan and Mitchell got forced off of the channel, so it's unreasonable to hate on these two, especially when they're doing a great job at taking over and still keeping the channel entertaining.

It was farther. Further is used for abstract concepts rather than distance. I went farther down the road. My plan to further annoy people is complete.

Instead of cutting the tube you could take out the valve core and put it directly in. Another way would be to try tubeless but I think sealant wouldn't like that.

8:43 The faint "gotta go feest" starting up was gold.

The braking test showed that skidding is less effective than rolling. Once you lock up the wheels you lose control.

Just like how you guys took the bat and the ball to a place that specializes in them you should take the bike somewhere and ask them to figure out what's wrong with it.

6:03 sheeeesh he got the red key

Haha “sport mode” the ol missionary dress pants in the sock trick.

Just homies having fun for years. What a baller life

Ridiculous, but I could not stop watching

*Tucks sock into pant leg* Tell me you served a mission, without telling me you served a mission.

There are other advantages of the tungsten bike too. For example, on a regulation bike whenever you hit a dog you normally end up thrown off the bike. With this thing, the extra unsprung weight helps you power through the mutt, either flattening it or casting it to one side, allowing you to stay upright on your bike and continue your ride.

Drill holes in the frame (top side, one or two, and fill the entire bike FRAME with Tungsten powder!

Any city or township that puts those 'sewercide' grates in that eat bicyclists should be fined and at town's entrance, a sign that says "We hate bicyclists".

At speed the gyroscopic effect should keep it upright.

After YEARS watching this channel, NOW I know the name of the shop where you all mess around. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😅

"That's surprising. I would've thought that since it had more mass, it would be harder to slow it down" Thats exactly correct. It's why the bike took longer to slow down

I don't mind the new guys at all but I definitely miss the old waterjet channel. They bailed out too early.

I feel like this whole video is secretly an explanation how to smuggle cocain with a bike.

The powder was creating a lot of damping effect, which is why you went shorter distance. By all other physics it should have went further (lower top speed = less air drag, same pedal distance at lower speed means more energy input into system assuming you pedaled just as hard). Braking of course was just down to you going faster with the lighter wheels, you'd need to brake at the same speed (so do your max speed test or pedal up to 20 mph then hit the brakes once you get to a line). Max speed would only be slower due to damping of the powder (which is a great way to dampen by the way, roller coasters sometimes fill the rails with sand), as well as any wobbliness. Handling would be interesting, the gyroscopic force would be very noticeable but at low speeds I think you might notice the tires being wobbly just about as much (its a little bicycle after all, and even on my motorcycle with feet up over the handlebars you barely have to move your hips and you can go from nearly laying down on one side to nearly laying down on the other < or last month, went all the way to the ground, LOL!). At high speeds it would be kind of fun to play with the gyroscopic effects because it would be insanely stable but in high jumps turning the front wheel would be kind of cool because then you could spin the bike around in the air which you probably can't normally feel (at least much) on a bicycle if you were doing BMX style tricks. Cool tests and video, cheers!

Anyone know what happened to the original guys?

now fill the bike frame with tungsten

Fill the whole frame too

"Ladies and gentlemen, uh-oh." - Waterjet Channel 2022

You guys are wearing airpods after being sponsored by raycon 🤣

Just two big kids playing on the side of the road

Did you guys consider balloon-animal balloons? The weight of the tungsten should allow them to extend to size pretty well, I'd imagine, then you could just use one or two of them filled with the power in place of the pneumatic tube.

I miss the original Water jet channel. Lick testing. Water jet tub cleaning. Mitchell's oneliners!. Bring back the OGs!

I know Bass Pro owns Cabelas now, but a Bass Pro hat and a Cabelas shirt?!?! SHEESH

This channel went down hill real quick ):

not to be a hater but this channel is turning into everything but a waterjet channel

the wheels stop just fine when braking, so what's being observed is actually the friction between the road and the tire that's stopping the bike. The added weight plays more of a role here because the bike is pushing harder downward. If the break pads had a set limit, and weren't able to stop the wheel from moving so efficiently, you'd probably have different results because weight plays more of an inertial role in that kind of situation. Although, at that point, you'd basically just doing the coasting test all over again. The results would be essentially the same.

Oh dang this insane

“Filling my monster truck tires with tungsten”

5:00 Palmer is really rocking that Bass Pro/Cabela’s merger hard. Lol

I appreciate the "The Promise" by When in Rome at 6:12!

Bass pro dude would make a fantastic PC principal for Halloween. Good watch, ty dudes.

Should have pulled the valve stem core and loaded up the tube then installed it. Your lopsidedness may have been solved with some goop in there too to make it more viscous.

Suggestion: Dishwashing with a Waterjet

For jackassery on a bike, might I perhaps recommend a helmet? I've managed to hurt myself more often on short "test rides" after repairs/mods than I ever have while riding.

Fill up the frame and bars etc, worlds heaviest bicycle would be great 👍

You got 885K Subscribers!

Time for Arson, ghost rider would be proud of you guys 😎

Guess what, locking the tires isn't the best way to break

One thing I've always thought a tungsten PokeBall would be cool

You got to do a tungston filled bowling ball.

I love this channel. Always amused.

Tube valves can be taken appart and will live a 3mm hole in the valve stem. You fill it up with tungsten, get the valve back in and air it up.

thats cool!

I am still unsure if I should call the FBI or not - where is Dan and Mitchell?

Nerdy dude being better than the Chad athlete

Classic two tube tech

Everyone else: "tungsten powder, braking, etc" Me: "Farther is a measure of distance. Further means 'more'."

This was so fun to watch!

THIS IS ART!!!

Hey, nice video Daniel

Really good test very useful!!! 😊👍

This video was sponsored by Cabelas/bass pro shops. We here at the water jet channel want to thank you bass pro/Cabelas for the extremely rad hat and shirt our scientist wore today and we want our viewers to know while bass pro is 99.99% normally out of ammunition, they will always have a shirt and hat for you to purchase. Come on down to our sponsors facilities and pick you up a good shirt and hat. Thanks again to our sponsor!!

Bro has a cabelas shirt and a bass pro hat on lmao

Take the valve stem out and fill the tubes with gallium. Be careful not to get any gallium on the rims until you try riding the bike. Dissolve the bike in gallium when you're done riding it.

Farther is the correct word in this case.

If the tungsten was evenly distributed in the tires and the speed was equal the tungsten tires would have coasted substantially longer.

Tungsten, skateboard, kick flip you get it

I want to do this, but instead of tungsten, I want to fill the tires with helium

y does he look like every jock from every American movie (biff , Brad, Zach , Jake , other miscellaneous names) mixed Into one guy?

Where did Dan and Mitchell go? I’v returned after a long time

You guys really need a second channel for anything not waterjet

How do we know that's real powdered tungsten?

I'm going to show this to my Colombian friend

This could be a training rejement for the tour du France lol

Nice drug smuggling op tutorial JK but seriously though

I was expecting to find a Johansson Plumbing inc. account saying they would sponsor.

0 ppe for the win

Wow, bet that guy doesn't know 100k people saw him roll coal

You should make solid rubber bike tires

Ummmmmm who are these two guys!?!?!?!!!!

Interwest Manufacturing and Waterjet Cutting. I always wondered where the shop was!

That moment of inertia of that tyre is crazy high. Once those tyres are spinning, turning them or slowing their rotation is going to be difficult.

these guys love tungsten

You should look into a tubeless set up. You'll could load up a fair amount before setting the bead, then load more in by removing the valve stem in maybe a viscous paste form prior to inflation.

you guys should collab with Sam Pilgrim. he would ride the hell out of one these!

Grunting helps in heaps of situations!

You guys should cut a car engine with the waterjet

As a mountain biker this was so hard to watch

You should put a mix of aluminium and iron dust in a tyre and see if that works too.

Less skid is because tire pressure is less in Tungsten and contact patch higher friction rate there for it

Herrrr derrrrrr wherrrrr dan and michelin
