Gallium (T-1000 metal) inside the cylinders - what will happen?

Grab some G54 merch here - www.en.garage5...
For those who don't know - apparently gallium is a metal with strange properties, and it's not something you'd want to use as a fuel or oil additive.

Id like to see pure oxygen injected into an engine and see the internals after some hard dyno pulls.

[@CableWrestler]

Melty melty!

[@iknowyourebrokeauto468]

I have done this with old small block ran huge fuel jets to run really rich and ran oxy from tank through NOS plate but still made holes in 3 Pistons after 1/4 mile pull but it went like a bat outta hell till it let go😂😂

[@bertone122]

Oxygen+hydrogen

[@fatrambo73]

that's an excellent idea

[@AnalogDude_]

they did that a few weeks ago.

[@cobravids]

I completely thought it would all melt and blow out the exhaust without much issue. Boy was I wrong. Fantastic result, I am 107% happy I watched this video.

[@Wisconsin.pikachu1]

I have been asking different yt channels to do this with a running aluminum engine block for 8yrs and this is the closest video so thank you :D

[@swartzautoman2]

One aspect of this test should be just adding some gallium to the oil of a running engine and see how long it takes to destroy it.

[@treeguyable]

When you re-use the old head gasket, you know your expectations are low. 😂

[@StephanBuchin]

When you said gallium on aluminium, I smiled 🙂

[@SwapBlogRU]

I did? When?

[@StephanBuchin]

@@SwapBlogRU 0:25

[@MrLarsgren]

@@SwapBlogRU would love to see them modify the crank ,cam and ignition so each piston is 90´ apart firing on a single cylinder at a time. think the sound will be special when running.

[@SwapBlogRU]

@@StephanBuchin I seem to have mispronounced "aluminium" though)

[@StephanBuchin]

@@SwapBlogRU No, no, it's all perfect and you do a great job. When I hear that gallium and aluminium are going to be in close contact, I know there will be problems and that's why I smiled.

[@ratmanmurray7137]

I thought the lack of compression was going to be the valves being held open by the gallium... wow! just a tiny bit wrong haha. What did the plugs look like? Another fun video... Here in Australia, you would be referred to as a 'cunny funt' haha. Best wishes from down under. Keep up the good work

[@MEGAONE302]

Yep, u smart..........

[@soundsoflife9549]

Bush mechanics was a funny show.

[@Rockport1911]

9:12 Dont say that, its a Lada: New used pistons with rings and this things good for another century :)

[@sandyleask92]

Finally! I mentioned doing this years ago! Always wanted to know what happens.

[@SwapBlogRU]

Turns out the experiment was conducted years ago, in 2019, but for some reason it slipped between the cracks and was never translated.

[@SwapBlogRU]

@@Kev-N42000 not gonna lie, your comment really confused me.

[@gabrielv.4358]

@@SwapBlogRU They waited to have the video posted later using his suggestion to get the advertising money, I think thats what he meant?!

[@SwapBlogRU]

@@gabrielv.4358 assuming they ever saw his suggestion to begin with, which they probably didn't. As the translator I'm the one who relays the suggestions from the ENG channel comments to them (which is much more difficult and frustrating than you can imagine), and for the life of me I can't remember ever relaying this one. So this "plot" of ours that you described (of posting the vid using his suggestion later to get the advertising money), which I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around, seems to me to be a figment of imaginaton. Honestly, call me stupid, but I don't even see how this works. Someone suggested an idea, we took note of it and put it on the backburner for about four years (and I'm actually pretty sure that the original video on the Russian channel predates any such suggestion in the comments to the ENG channel), to then take advantage of his suggestion for YT ad revenue. Em, what would've been the problem with taking advantage of his suggestion on the spot and not waiting for many years, in terms of "getting the advertising money"? To me this honestly looks like a weird attempt to troll that I might be reading too deep into. If I'm wrong and you're willing to elaborate - I'm honestly curious to listen to you and try to understand your logic.

[@me3333]

@SwapBlogRU You are a rockstar and are truly doing god's work translating this for us non-Russian speaking gearheads! Mad props for doing what I can only imagine is a infuriating task. I wish there were more channels like this on KZbin. There are some that try but really none of them are close to as entertaining as Garage 54 and without you we'd have no clue what was being said. If you get paid, you deserve a raise!

[@Zaltic]

It's actually surprising how reliable the Lada Engine is

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

It's actually pretty shit but easy to fix

[@robertschemonia5617]

Woah. The valve reliefs look like they were cut with an angle grinder. Neat. Just goes to show ya that it don't have to look pretty to work.

[@SaccoBelmonte]

I expected the gallium was going to weaken the metal and make the typical dusty mess but instead, it seems like it structurally held on and the gallium lowered the melting point of the piston so on each stroke, the exploding gas kept digging a hole through the piston. The end structure looks like molten metal instead of cracked material.

[@Jean-Denis_R_R_Loret]

Gallium amalgams with aluminum, but not with an iron casted engine like this one.

[@SaccoBelmonte]

@@Jean-Denis_R_R_Loret These pistons are aluminum made I believe.

[@treeguyable]

6:06, park a Lada for a few days at Vlads garage, someone steals your roof rack.

[@NICKELGHANDI]

I love the wide aspect ratio.

[@FordGTmaniac]

I want to see a Lada running on a 50/50 mix of nitromethane and propylene oxide. This is supposedly the most powerful liquid fuel setup you can possibly use, but you'd need to re-jet the carburetor and adjust the ignition timing.

[@4mdt21]

Sounds good!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Next day they turn around and used the same engine on another experiment!👌😂👍I’m convinced Lada’s engines are indestructible !!

[@soundsoflife9549]

We wrecked it; What a success 😆 This channel is great!

[@ricvis44]

I’d like to see a reverse gear speed contest of all of the members of garage 54. Whoever can go the fastest top speed in reverse wins.

[@GrugBug-f7j]

Solid! Top KEK! Peace be with you.

[@thedude8046]

Good stuff, I'm going to put some on my neighbors bicycle.

[@techn1kal1ty]

You guys should find a way to atomize the gallium and send it in through the intake

[@volvo09]

I don't think it would work too well, it wouldn't contact the aluminum very much.

[@jsmythib]

Im pretty sure it will be atomized once the cylinder heats up, and it exits the exhaust, at least!

[@ovalwingnut]

Gallium? That's a crime! I liked this ride. Ты дикий человек. Thank you for the videos!

[@ChieFChalinOLarssoN]

I would love to see you guys put BUBBLEGUM in the engine and the gearbox and the diff

[@zizzie00]

it would be cool if you made a video where you score up the bores a lot and se it it would run

[@tslim250]

the thing is here... they were all breathing that vaporized aluminium gallium alloy as the engine was running..... ouch.

[@crazieman]

How quickly would an aluminum block engine grenade itself if you introduced gallium to it?

[@jwalster9412]

It's been tested on a lawnmower and it didn't really have much of an effect.

[@tslim250]

what engine block.... literally no time at all, engine blocks are cast aluminium which are less dense than a machine billet piston. The gallium would pernitrate almost immediately.

[@tslim250]

@@jwalster9412 not all lawnmowers are aluminium

[@Stealth86651]

@@jwalster9412 That's because it was steel then. It's a chemical process, so you're not going to have "nothing" happening when it's introduced to aluminum. It'd be like saying "Yeah, I mixed bleach and ammonia and nothing happened". Almost all of those engines aren't aluminum, as you're not exactly caring about saving weight on a small, cheap engine.

[@gabrielv.4358]

Thats an interesting idea, Mix galium with oil!

Great to see the boss man has lost some weight over the year.

Music at 8:55 is Pegboard Nerds & Tristam - Razor Sharp, Dubstep Guitarist did a great cover of it a few years ago :)

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

Would've been interesting to see what occurred if you poured some Gallium down the carb while it was *_revving!_* 😈😁

[@ambersmith6517]

how about galvanically isolating the lower and higher potential parts of the motor the point would be to try to make a lower resistance path than the heat cycle that every regular gas motor uses to run there must be a way to make a lower resistance path to get some thing more than unwanted heat escaping love the videos!!!

[@partciudgam8478]

American engines, you put some extra water on the radiator, it dies in a day, Russian engines, you pour Galium in the pistons, it needs 3 full days to expire...

[@shaneblaney53]

That supra tho in the background 👀

hope those pistons didn't end up mixed into scrap metal

now that'd be something to see with a transparent cylinder head

Oooh, Gallium, how to turn aluminum into crumbs. You quickly learn why it's not allowed on aircraft (except as special cargo, obviously, they have to ship it lol).

Next episode just add some to the oil and see how long it lasts 🤘

[@newagetemplar6100]

Ha ha awesome peeps , this has to be one of your best , just because it’s a weird off the radar experiment. Ever thought about using lots of starter motors bolted round a ring gear / multiple ring gears instead of engine power ? That would be fun too 😂😂

[@justonnie]

Gallium into the oil. No prep....

[@broughtonparkade5381]

Gallium destroys aluminum on a molecular level. This should be good.

[@sinchrotron]

I afraid there's no molecules in aluminium. Only atoms

[@TheMag20]

Mix gallium in hot oil and see how long it'll go

[@tst6735]

Use Gallium to cool the engine

[@twoeightythreez]

At 5:19 the starter is different, they must've burned it up lol😂

[@motorenbastler9289]

Can someone explain what happened? Ok Gallium has a melting temperature of 30* Celsius but why does it change the melting temperature of a completely different material?

[@1987FX16]

4:25 Why the music say "Where'd you put my sad clothes."?

[@anonymousinc6330]

I figured hardened gallium would be lodging the valves open. No look at the head / valves?

[@busyguy7479]

well thats it self destruct put to sleep then on to the scrap heap. did not last long enough to really have a lot of fun, kudos fill it full of cadweld watch it melt down...just a thought.

[@GainingDespair]

Gallium can basically dissolve aluminum

[@oubliette862]

this is probably going to be a mess. gallium sticks to things sometimes and is hard to unstick.

[@CraftMine1000]

Just from the title and knowledge I have, bai bai pistons, that's what I predict Edit: a whole day gallium contact? Yeah pistons going bai bai Edit: it's holding up better than I expected Edit: aaaaand we're loosing pistons Edit: rip compression, rip pistons Edit: yep, about what I expected, holes in pistons

[@locouk]

It’d be good to see the individual piston condition. Too late now.

[@alviscvetkovs1022]

It would be interesting if you pour gallium instead of oil.

[@slovew20584]

Use gallium as engine oil

[@LSnium]

I wanna see the smallest piston heads could work in the cylinders and still run.

[@3rdpig]

Wouldn't shooting it, or blowing it up, have been faster and more fun?

[@AlesterMyersWick]

holla back at me when you see robert patrick t-1000's face!

I wonder what other materials you can make pistons out of. Copper? Zinc? Ceramic? 🤔
