The way it was put together though - Freehand drilling, compressed air bearing drying, using wood near bearings... All the wrong steps for longevity. Also, what the hell, are they painting the bearing with grease or packing it? Longevity though, and the channel I'm watching lol!
@@the_kombinator Sadly on these build channels seem to be same mind set among all of them. Hack something together for less than weeks worth of build video that can be cut to less than 8 minutes and driving the thing for couple of hours to get that 2 minutes for video and then it gets taken apart or left to rot. I cant remember one channel that actually makes these builds to use them long term and usually there is zero utility in mind. I really cant understand why would you put all the effort and money in just to make something crappy when you could do it properly and enjoy it long time, or even just to sell it later on for someone else to enjoy.
@@Hellsong89 I guess it's because they want to try so many weird things, not using them for a longer period of time, just trying it out of curiousity. Also, in Europe (and I think in Russia, too) it's reeaally hard to make a homebuilt thing get legal papers to drive on the streets.
To be fair, Vlad did say "in Russian", but hopefully you understand why I changed that to "English" in the translation. Since, well, the voice-over is done in English. Seems to makes sense, right?
Great video! I would suggest lifting the engine and propeller a bit further up in the chassis, so the structure of the car dont disrupt the airflow as much.
They will most likely mount that "Shaft" at the roof height and attach a pulley to a flywheel on the engine, belt drive the Prop-Shaft mechanism and use a 2:1 belt ratio so that 3400rpm = 1700 prop speed. If you want to find out, it's probably on their russian channel already, I haven't looked.
Only major issue I could see with that is the leverage raising it to high would cause. As the higher they mount it, the more force down it will create on the front, possibly digging the skis into the snow either making it harder to steer or less "flotation" over the snow.
@@livinonlimiter Because he's the lord Jesus Christ. You should be thanking him for what he's done rather then questioning him about his name. What else is he supposed to put. "Not real Jesus Jokes I am really" god some people are so rude these days.
@@jimdavis1576 it looks to me like they plan to mount the engine just behind the rear wheels, this thing would be a wheelie machine if it was rear wheel driven. that is to say, I think they could mount that thing with the center at head height and it probably wouldn't be much of an issue.
I love yalls videos.But,that isn't how u pack a bearing with grease.U pack it in one side until it comes out the other.U do this using the palm of one hand while other hand packs the grease in.
The motor need to be high enough about chest high and make a H plat form to mount the motor mounts use steel no rubber u don't want any movement when you give it gas
It looks like you will maybe have to build a small platform to raise the engine higher. Also, you may want to build a shroud to go around the prop for safety
i would use it, to race through my giant fields of weed and it would chop it all up nicely and reefer ready, then i'd have a cart that catches all the delicious enjoyable buds, that has a robotic arm to deal with packaging and applying the garage 54 logo on the no longer contraband because soon russia will go legal like canada did!
Mount the engine as low as possible, check out how a Air Boat is built, they use them in the Florida Everglades, going over wet grass. We use them up here in NE Indiana, in the Winter time, for Frozen Lake rescue, when someone falls through the ice.
Google Airboats -- similar concepts. I would say you want the propeller about 3 feet off the ground and slightly angled for downforce. This channel builds one -- not quite the same as your car but maybe some good tips to be had: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gGryRg8DeW8.html You folks are great!
This kind of vehicle generally only works on very flat surfaces. Just like pushing it, it’s easy as long as you don’t hit a pothole or an incline. I bet it would be nice on a frozen lake, but it’s probably never going to be able to go through a forest...
I would say enclose the propeller with a guard but I know how you guys work. Have fun but please be safe. Also put the hot air balloon back on, add a rudder then you can go where the wind doesn't.
Love the idea... But maybe think about makein a cage round the blade...for safety 👍🏻 and could off still kept peddles on car for na to help get goin at first...just a fort.. Lovein all ya video From England / uk Notts modified car channel RU-vid & facebook
❓❓❓❓❓❓just an Idea 💡.. why don’t u cut 1/2 of an extra car 🚗 off from the front to the drivers side and weld it on the back❓❓❓ NO Need to try to Mount an engine in the trunk...‼️‼️‼️⁉️
A 2:1 or 3:1 gear reduction would help make full use of the engine power range, as well as the starter won't have to work so hard to turn the propeller. You could make it from a vertical chain drive, with interchangeable gears, this would allow you to mount the engine lower into the frame, while keeping the propeller safely away from the ground.
I glanced at the title, and thought it read aerosol, but hey, that would make a great vlog for another day, run a car off aerosols of different kinds. lol
If I'm not wrong propelers work by "throwing" air, so it probably isn't goin to work if you block the airflow with car body. Maybe you should modify the car to be more narrow? Something motocycle-like perhaps?
my advice: 1- use the chassis from front and attach to rear . 2- remove the axle from rear 3- weld the chassis to rear suspension which was attached to axle 4- design the joint for the purpose 5- the chassis sould be suspend independently for avoiding unload momentum to propeller 6- dsign a tray to load the engine handel 7- design and weld a joint to take force from engine to tray then to side of car platform for better balance it should be work ,thanks for your clips
If you want some piece of advise, you should consider how munch of a free space there will be ahead of the prop, since it needs to be able to "suck" as much air as possible and as evenly as possible over the prop disc. Maybe think about elevating it a bit so the lower part of the prop has a minimum of 30 to 50cm clearance with the bumper/trunk floor. It prevent as well from damage from rocks or piece of dirt coming off the ground. Also, you may not want to put the windshield and the windows back on for maximum efficiency And add a propeller cone to make it fancier ;) And a paramotor wing too!
You may have to add a wing on the hood or a large bumper valance to get the right amount of down force on the front tires/skies. BETTER YET! do a big ole conard right above the wheels/skies.
In Florida they have swamp buggies. Basically the same thing as your making, but for the water. They use a huge screen to protect people from being hit by the prop, or to protect the prop from being hit by thing the boat kicks up. Of course this will only work if it's got an electric starter. If it doesn't maybe you could at least mount something in front of the prop to keep it from being destroyed. If it gets nicked it can cause it to crack and break, and the results of that could be devastating. Good luck!
That bearing assembly you guys created was impressive, never cease to amaze. Though I'd love to see you guy pull the spark plugs on a car and put gun powder in the cylinders replace the plugs (maybe make a long wire to the starter solenoid and try firing it up from a distance. Did it with a 2 stroke boat motor, blew it into 2 pieces. Scared the shit out of me. Please try it!
Go V8, that almost solves all the problems all the time :-) Nice Idea. I like, that you keep those cars and to so much stuff to them untill they are complety cactus! This is going to be awesome!
They should use a complete bell housing with a complete clutch kit inside so they can disengage the propeller without turning off the motor, otherwise the propeller will be always spinning, and on sleds I don't think they have brakes.
If you would like to try a more "civil" approach, you could mount the engine longitudinally inside the engine bay, use the car transmission with bigger driveshaft that is fixed at the rear of the vehicle with reduction gear going from driveshaft up to the prop hope it made sense
If you can try to get the centre of the engine infront of the rear axle line. Where it is you will have a lot of rear weight and leverage but move it slightly forward and its weight is in between the axles which will be far better for stability. It will also reduce ground pressure on the rear wheels. On snow you want the weight as balanced as possible to avoid as much sinking as possible. Also if you are going to use a flywheel why not try the centrifugal one from the Lada? I think this would be the perfect application for it. Good luck whatever you decide to do with it.
U need to make the back of the car narrow and more streamlined so that the prop can get smoother air to pull. Otherwise the prop will be making a vacuum behind the car and not much thrust. Sort of like how if u place ur hand behind a pedestal fan u can clearly hear its rpm changing due to lack/resistance of streamlined air supply. Distance would ofcourse also help.
I would build a mount for the engine raise it up 2in off the floor better clearance a chain or gear drive for the prop a belt could slip what I would try
Make the engines angle adjustable. Be able to turn it left and right. And up and down. To help the car drive straight. And account for different cross winds
Try to make something that would hold center of propeller above the roofline. Engine you can leave it down and then connect engine to the propeller with something like a chain. That would work I think.
If it is only used on snow, make the whole bottom of the car one flat area, (one ski) This way all the weight will be disrupted over the whole area of the cars base. Almost like a flat bottom boat, and will not sink into the snow as fast.
Can the propeller be mounted on the rear of the car, and up over the trunk part way? It would be interesting if it could be adjusted up and down somehow too.
