As usual, massive success. You should try to make a driveshaft made from springs, and see if it would catapult the car from a standstill when you release the parking brake, like those little toy cars.☝
The Russians have a type of ingenuity not seen in the west, I love it. I would love to live in Russia for a while, every Russian I've ever met has been the nicest people with awesome senses of humor too. If we could just get rid of governments... lol
@@retrogamer33 Damn near all leaders today are pricks mate, I don't think Putin is any worse than others tbh. In the recent years gun ownership for civilians in russia has become better and better, while in most countries it's being taken away, so that's a major plus there. In Britain things are only going to get worse probably, it's a surprise they didn't try to take shotguns away too after that psychopath shot those poor people up.
@Scottrick LaRoque A Russian man actually was the first in the world to experiment with semi-conductors with great success! First to make an LED and even solid-state amplification. If he didn't pass under Nazi occupation maybe we'd have computers sooner. They invented all types of progressive, way ahead of time shit, for one in the medical industry, I think it was Elizarov or something, but the guy invented a way to manipulate regeneration of bone, and now the technology is used world-wide to lengthen birth-defect limbs or bad breaks with parts of the bone missing. This tech was so clever, I think we'd not even see it today if it weren't for him. You basically bolt the two parts of the bone separately leading to an external frame and slowly move the bolts apart while the bone tries to re-connect. Wild idea, and works flawlessly, as long as proper hygiene is present where the bolts leave the body, but now they even got internal ones I think, so not even a chance of contamination.
You could NEVER get away with this on a FWD car, the steering effort would be extreme! -These guys should bring some of their cars to SEMA some time. They would have ALL the crowds at their exhibition!
Next, try a Lada with proper airbag suspension, front and back! see how comfortable you can get it. Or install one of those air ride seats! :D Love what you crazy guys do.
connect a running engine's exhaust pipe to another engine's air intake source. Or connect the exhaust to the engine's own air intake source. Yeah I know the engines won't run great, but I'd rather see Garage 54 do it to their own cars, than me trying it!
Our editor was supposed to cut out that portion of the original video, but he missed it, unfortunately. RU-vid does allow editing a video that's already live, so it should disappear soon.
This is some of the finest entertainment. Garage 54 has the guts and skills to build hilarious stuff. The ideas in these videos coming from both the creators and viewers makes this some of the best content on RU-vid. I've been hooked since the episode about putting a huge subwoofer in the roof of a car.
!! WOW !! Man it's crazy how these guys come up with this stuff I mean things that no one has "EVER " dreamed of . they think up outstanding craftsmanship
Good thing they didn't. I'm predicting a steering loss, swerve to the side, and possibly rollover. Looks like it might be good for a slow speed wagon / tractor trailer?
Me encantan sus videos tan genialmente locos jaja... Que hermosa toda la indumentaria que ofrecen, lástima estoy en Argentina sino me compraría absolutamente todo! Saludos a todo el equipo y sigan así! 😃 👍
Loved this 😂 Good stuff as always! Now how about a spring crankshaft haha, OR install some super heavy valve springs and see how long that camshaft lasts lol
Engineer nerd time but, I feel like you could definitely remedy the unruly steering and jumpiness if you put in a boatload of effort and time. (I know this is a silly, fun experiment but) If you could somehow get drive to the wheel (using a few CV joints maybe?) while making the springs stationary so that they dont spin with said wheel, and add some sort of articulating reinforcement bar on the horizontal axis of the springs, connected to either end of them, to stop the spring jumping forwards and back while driving over bumps, etc. You *might* get a more controlled ride. Atleast one that hopefully wont make the steering wheel try to escape your grip. Thats my silly idea anyway. Either way, it was a fun video to watch!
i said you lads were mad in the last video - this is genius! :-) watching the engine rev and the springs twist up before the wheels spin was hilarious. great video.
So... I saw this video once about a guy who made a bicycle that steered inversely. Handlebars left, the wheel turned right, and vice versa. He was proving something about how the mind can relearn things, but it took unlearning the original way to work. Like once he could ride the inverted steering bike, when he got on a regular bike it was really hard not to crash. so how about a car that steers opposite?..
If there is one thing that makes Garage 54 great compared to what we could see here in the west is how things are just tried without overthinking the safety aspects to the point that most other RU-vid channels or even full on TV studios would just scrap the bulk of ideas for being too dangerous to justify carrying through. Edit: Here is an idea for a episode: use a Lada motor as a supercharger for another Lada motor. We are always told that a engine is just a big air pump so take a engine, hook it up to the intake of a running engine, then power the pumping engine with a chain or belt from the running motor. See how much power you can get from such a combo.
Good idea, although you would need the pumping engine to have a much higher capacity (or rev much faster) to get any boost. Theoretically, double the engine capacity or double the revs would provide 1 atmosphere of boost which might be a decent test. I don't know what boost would actually be achieved after losses, but I'd like to find out!
i like all the neighbours watching them, you can imagine them saying " quick, garage 54 are testing a new car, hurry up or you'll miss it", lol keep up the good work, lads...
That type of suspension works great on a trailer I have owned a cleasby roofing patch kettle and worked for numerous contractors with the same patch kettles I recall them being 200 GALLONs and they tracked better than any other trailer I ever pulled In the fast lane like an arrow for real.cleasby manufacturing south San Francisco the best small trailer I ever pulled horizontally. Mounted coil springs no damping like an arrow fast lane full of hot !!
When I look at those Rivas I always wonder if any of them were originally UK cars. Awesome, I can't believe they worked as well as they did and didn't break!
As others have mentioned, Lets see a spring driveshaft/propshaft. Granted, finding one continuous spring long enough, and of a suitable girth would be an issue, but I think that Vlad and the G54 guys can do it. However, a spring that long under torsion could tend to sag and tangle up. The spring would need to be sleeved inside a pipe of slightly larger diameter than the spring. Meaning, the pipe secured in the tunnel to house the spring, but NOT attached to the spring. ONLY to keep the spring straight. Think like a speedometer cable. The pipe being the stationary casing, and the spring being the rotating shaft inside it. They could grease up the spring to lower friction of rubbing inside the pipe. If you want to get fancy, the pipe could be connected to the housings of both the transmission and the differential to keep the inner spring aligned. But this would require making the pipe in two sections. One that can slip snugly inside the other to simulate the way a proper driveshaft slip-yoke works. Or go the easy way, and mount the rear axle solid to eliminate that movement. Also as I have seen mentioned before, hold the rear wheels with the brake, load up the spring by feathering the clutch and giving it some throttle, then release the brake and dump the clutch at the same time. Should result in a sudden launch. But quickly followed by an equally sudden rebound causing a lurching motion. Another Idea: Spring replacing the steering shaft.
The driveshaft spins 3-4 times axle speed, so balance and flex become a HUGE issue at much lower speeds than wheel balance issues even become noticeable. This is why DOT standards specify a maximum length of driveshaft. If you need longer, must add support bearings and u-joints along the shaft in segments up to the maximum allowable length. Too long and they can suddenly fail at speed, instantly bending and flailing the undercarriage and fuel tanks, probably locking up the axle for a smoky out of control spinout-stop on the spot, then inability to move from however the laws of physics left you till a heavy duty tow arrives.
Use a garage overhead door spring. The overhead door companies buy the springs in long lengths and cut them to length. The door has them mounted on a shaft.
Love this aspect ratio don't know if it's a new change but I don't remember y'all's older videos having this and no one else has either it actually fills my phone screen
