Years ago I wasn't afraid of snow. I remember long journeys in the snow with summer tires. No problem, just started the car in second gear and drove carefully. Then they began scare us with the risks involved (the risk to be fined if circulating without winter tires in winter season) and now I cannot immagine myself driving in the snow without winter tires... they sissified us...
Red Fixit I used to know an old timer who would put latex house paint in tires to fix leaks, it would ruin both the rim and tire in the process but it worked great if it was just something junky like a old tractor or hand truck
Pykrete is a frozen composite material, originally made of approximately 14 percent sawdust or some other form of wood pulp and 86 percent ice by weight. During World War II, Geoffrey Pyke proposed it as a candidate material for a supersized aircraft carrier for the British Royal Navy.
Wheels are fun to Play around with. But after all, somehow it always turns out that air is the best to fill them with. Must have been a geniuos whoever came up with the idea!
In Rio de Janeiro it's called "white weapon" and you will get a 2400 BRL (about 600 USD) fine if they find you carry it to defend yourself against local pickpockets and pesky peddlers. But it's okay to use an illegal pistol or AR-15 rifle bought from a dirty cop or local gangster at night. Or at day time, whatever.
I love your Channel I watch a lot of stuff ,yet I enjoy you and your channel immensely, I can trust what you do and because I am alot like you,because I know ,means that I see you know .you have a unique sense of humor which I find entertaining .I will keep watching as long as you keep making them .rock on Russian dude .fans from USA.
During WW2 and idea was floated (get it...floated) to make huge unsinkable boats out of sawdust mixed with water. It was named after it's inventor and called Pykrete. Pykrete features unusual properties, including a relatively slow melting rate due to its low thermal conductivity, as well as a vastly improved strength and toughness compared to ordinary ice. These physical properties can make the material comparable to concrete, as long as the material is kept frozen. So I propose tires composed of Pykrete (tm).
For BMI russian guy-if you can contact them-pls tell them this new vid idea- "Replacing tires with hot glue"-like the same with this using the tires as molds but instead of water use hot glue...
Oh you guy have more snow than us in Québec we finally finish this week* with the shovel courage russian people brothers of snow less than a couple of week and you should be done with the shovel !!
If you ever try this again, maybe set the rim into a round mold and fill it with water, and let it freeze. That way you dont have to cut the tires off, just drill the holes for the lights and whatnot.
you do not even need 1100Hp with 1500 lbs of torque to make the tire feel like ice, just make them out of literal ice and you can get stuck in a flat parking lot with any engine! ;P
@@jonnyenough1531 well i live in Canada and i can say that from the Age of 12 i always wondered why it was Legal for cars to be 2 wheel drive! like they should all be 4x4 or AWD! can you imagine the Ambulance stuck 20 meters from the place they need to save the person but they are stuck on a small elevation... i guess what i mean is, even without tires out of ice some places are slippery all seasons, just that winter is worst ;P and now add tires MADE from ice... i wonder if it still counts as a burnout!
they should try this in Arizona when its 110+ around 45 C outside haha the ice would melt quickly.. friction from driving on paved roads would heat up the ice anyways.
Ok try this. Do as you did with these tires, fill them with water and let the water freeze....BUT first put studs in the tire treads. After the water freezes, cut the wall of the rubber tire off. Take the ice studded tires to your test track and see how well they will hold up.
do this experiment again but add sawdust. the military made a battleship out of ice and sawdust when they were low on money back in the day. I think the sawdust will make a better grip too. the sawdust is supposed to add reinforcement to the ice.
Tell them to try Pykrete. Pykrete is a frozen composite material, originally made of approximately 14 percent sawdust or some other form of wood pulp (such as shredded cardboard or paper) and 86 percent ice by weight. During World War II, Geoffrey Pyke proposed it as a candidate material for a supersized aircraft carrier for the British Royal Navy.
