Using a wheel to winch - will it work?

[@cmuller1441]

Just adding a Pulley at the anchor point and making the cable come back and attaching it to a fix part of the car is the solution. It divides the stress on the cable, clutch and engine by 2. (But you have to turn the wheels 2* more to move the same distance)

[@nigeltoon1848]

Spot on. Mechanical advantage.

[@SmallKittyPaw]

Or use that multi diff lada. With such "solid" connection. Instead relaying on tire grip it would pull almost anything with so much torque. But yeah, here it just needs more torque or more gear reduction (which means more torque).

[@thedarkknight1971]

Destin - "Smarter Every Day" did an excellent video on pulleys, so even beginners could understand what simple things like pulleys could do to ease the load... Just goes to show, keep it simple is usually, the best way... 😏😎🇬🇧

Yep, double the mechanical advantage by doubling up with a pulley. Do so a few more times, and it'll likely be able to be pulled by a couple people

My grandfather had wheel winches permanently attached to his WW2 chevy blitz truck it also had cable guides on the front bumper bar to keep it pulling straight...with the additional use of chains and pulleys it would go just about any where.

[@duanebishop1702]

That makes total sense. But in this video, as the cable spooled away from the hub it caused the pipe/arbor to deflect under load. Speaking of load, the angle of attack was pulling the axle hard into the ground. Making the total friction grow and grow until the Lada (or cable) just had enough. Cable guides at the bumpers corners in this case, would have perhaps made this work out nicely. Video needs follow-up w/cable guides + 4x4-Low gear.

The idea does work. In Australia, they sell something similar called the Bush Winch in the 80's, & 90's.

[@cycoholic]

Another way would be to use a wheel without a tyre on it. Just bolt it on as normal and have the cable looped through the wheel. Then wrap the cable a couple times around the wheel. Then when you try to winch yourself out, the cable should spool up around the wheel. Naturally you'll have to have a spare wheel, wheel jack and brace, and tools to remove a tyre from a rim. Even better a method to inflate the tyre again. Something like this has been done a number of times in outback Australia. And if you don't have something to winch off (sandy dunes for example) use a spare wheel by burying it deep in the sand. Just go slow when you try to pull yourself out. You don't want to pull the tyre out of its hole and come flying towards you. To use both above techniques...I just hope you have a spare wheel. If you don't, you shouldn't find yourself in such predicaments.

[@VCN01]

To be honest, it really works... but only with light vehicles with high torque. I pulled out my quad from mud by "wrapping" hard rope on tree and wheels. Of course I had to unravel this rope from shaft but nevermind, I escaped a situation that looked impossible to deal without a winch!

The second time the car was just too far in at too much of an angle. when you was trying the car was trying to pull itself through the ground instead of over it, even if you had enough power and strong enough clutch you would have probably just pulled the rear drive line off the car. That's why when you pulled the car out a bit it worked fine, it wasn't trying to pull itself through the ground.

Rather than using a bar to wrap/winch the cable round, maybe try something of a larger but only slightly smaller diameter than the current wheel/tyre combination eg 14" rim to winch with for a 15" wheel/tyre combination on the car. 🤷‍♂️ Think of it like a bicycle chain, you use the big 'granny gear' when you need the slow torque for hills.

[@SethMethCS]

Off grid power experiment: Fill the trunk of a Lada with a deep cycle battery bank, deplete them to 50%, tack weld jumper cables to the stock alternator leads, and drive normally for an hour.

I figured they would've put the wheel spindle on one tire and the small bar on the other, as they both spin in the same direction the difference in sizes would mean the big spindle would pull in more line than the little one would let out, meaning that the vehicle would be pulled out by the line shortening

You should have used the orange rims attached to the back wheels. Cut the lip of the rim down on one side and make spaced mounts and longer lug nuts to attach it to the wheel. You will hav a much better mechanical advantage using the larger diameter rim over the pipe creating more torque. Just like changing gears on a bicycle.

Need a stage 3 clutch for more winch powah! I think if they threw some barrels under the cables to change the cable angle it would have pulled the car upward and not straight. The car being down in a ditch needs to be pulled upward.

if you fix the one end of the cable on the car itself, not on the the spinning axle, the torque will bei doubled. with a pulley you could double it again. this should work

Problem I saw with this test is in the pipe wrinch setup. Where the pulling force has to little leverage which then you substituted with energy which is why you broke cables. Now being the car is gas and geared differently than an actuall winch you can not use such a small drum. You need as much leverage as possible. By using the rim as the cable drum it would have worked.

[@mikeznel6048]

If you want rotational leverage, the smaller one would be better.

[@MsLoneWolf4]

@@mikeznel6048 normally true, but in this use case the action is turned into linear based off size of drum. Hence with pipe it took way more power to work, but every single other video with this test done with a much wider drum just like the thumb nail and they work with less effort. Either way doesn't help load a broken racecar onto the trailer.

No matter how many or what kind of carbs you put on there, you still need the right air to fuel mixture ratio. The carb can put more fuel into the combustion chamber, but not more air. Without the correct mixture it would just not be able to burn the extra fuel and make less power with more fuel used. So you need more air, *kehm kehm*, Turbo lada when?
