Will an airbag rip a tire apart from the inside?

The results actually aren't as predictable as the thumbnail might suggest.

Drink enough vodka and you get so many bad ideas that you run out of time testing all of them... I assume quite a lot of ideas come from like-minded fans and followers...

Those wheels look a lot like the ones used on VW Beetles from the 70's. There are other Ladas that use the circular holes pattern that look like the rims from the VW Kombi from the 70s as well. I've always wondered if the same manufactured made the wheels for both ladas and VWs

[@derfacecrafter1869]

that would be cool

[@lobmin]

They are also very similar to steel wheels used on 60's Volvos - later Amazons and early 140 series. I have also seen similar ones on Porsches, did VW share wheels with Porsche?

[@lul-os2ou]

@@lobmin Porsche is owned by VW so it could be possible.

[@VochoTalacha]

@@lobmin well... The wide 5 lug pattern they did share, but not exactly the same rim design. Porsches had vent holes, while VWs had the typical slots between the face of the wheel and the rim. Aome later VWs had vent holes with the wide 5 lug pattern, but were very different from those of Porsche

The volga tire might be C-classed. Not uncommon for those dimensions back in the day. Thats probably why it stayed together despite the age cracks.

4:54 he was like "OPA!"

[@mrmoola3970]

My dad(rip) was a insurance adjuster. His job back in the 80's was to show up at crash sites to take pictures and notes of the the accidents. One time he was a at a crash site, it was a Dodge Lancer, head on collision. The cars air bag did not deploy during the crash. Here's where it gets crazy.. after they extracted the driver from the car a police man was writing some kinda report using the surface area of the air bag to write on. At some point the air bag spontaneously (not sure if that's the correct word) went off and blew the pen the police man was using to write with into his neck killing him.

[@Jupiter__001_]

That's an unfortunate story. I guess the writing must have agitated the airbag enough to activate the chemicals within.

[@abpsd73]

Most airbags have a small cylinder where the wiring connects that released the gas to inflate the fabric bag. For an enclosed space like a tire, the airbags could be disassembled, and several of the inflaters would occupy the same space as one entire airbag.

[@LakeNipissing]

I had an escape slide / raft from a Boeing 727 deploy in the living room accidentally, and it destroyed three tables and four lamps. Never underestimate the power of something 'soft' inflating rapidly. It can kill you easily.

[@danbergthold3481]

The only thing I don't understand is why some people don't detonate their wheels and tires. Unless your car is very old, it contains a supply of airbag bombs that can easily be repurposed for tire/wheel destruction.

[@gsdjparaeventossocialesdjg9679]

So far.. so good

[@tjlabbee7856]

Expansion in a sealed tire, will yield bigger boom. 👍 Maybe remote or radio trigger?

[@sddirt6840]

Ground the airbag on the inside of the wheel, solder the hot wire on the inside of the valve stem. Then you can air the tire up to 100psi and clip 1 lead on the calve stem and the other on the wheel.

[@hyper.technic]

When performing an electrical repair, make sure to always cut the yellow wire first for safety.

[@psychosis7325]

The 15 looks to be an 8 ply commercial construction while the 13 was just a standard car/light vehicle tyre so it will take probably take double the psi without blowing, as for the airbags the chemical reaction in them is self oxidising and very controlled so the large bags charges sould release more gas regardless of them rolling out or not. Think the lack of boom was just due to construction. You could get one of the model rocket guys to make you some charges that will do similar but make a whole lot more gas ;)

They unknowingly invented a way to self inflat flat tires.

[@philipthomas9309]

How many plys was the big tyre the little 13 inch was only 4 ply and the big one probable 8 or 12 ply hence to strong

[@MrtalentedReid]

Thanks for sharing interesting video

[@jusb1066]

If you just took the charges out of the airbags, mount them to the wheel, have an airtight way of wiring.. then you have a device for instant tyre reinflate if you get a flat.... Maybe have some tyre sealant in the charge,. Get a flat tire press the button instant fix

[@pantherplatform]

"Haha ha ha Ketchulah"

[@jonathancombe9991]

When they do an experiment that is 108% successful, it's going to be *really* spectacular.

[@SteeveEfnet]

Suggestion: I'm wondering how much you can improve an off-roading vehicle stability by adding a very heavy medium inside the tires to lower the center of gravity. (while keeping tire flexibility) ex: Sand+ water, mercury, One way to test would be to see how much of an incline it can go before and after before it rolls over.

[@JamesSmith-jq2jc]

Well, this proves that if you get a flat and you've no spare, you could improvise a tire repair from donor air bags. I wonder how the neighbors will feel, you know, when their airbags dissapear.

[@hdezn26]

A Idea , from another person, is to attach shovels to a spoiler to see if it makes moar downforce? That Yt'ber's name was vikman photography.

[@usercid640]

this is probably the best way to seat a bead

[@garethh2240]

Love to see them try and balance it after. 🤣

[@troywhite6039]

Did anyone ask? What was the tire pressure of the 15" tire after the airbags filled it?

[@johnfox3845]

Without a valvestem, checking the pressure would be quite tricky.

[@screwsnutsandbolts]

Every car should be fitted with these 'safety' tires.....

[@handduggraverdronline]

Be cool to pack the tire with a few bags mounted to rim and use after driving over spike strips. Then deploy them and drive on

[@juurme]

Try to make a lada do wheelie by building huge spoiler to rear with long leverage and controllable deflective control surface . Drive it with maximum speed and deflect the control surface to create downforce and try to lift front wheels. Engine to the rear and try to make front end as light as possible. With massive size control surface and enough lever I think it might be possible :D

Do the independent brakes - 4 master cylinders connected to a joystick in an X layout and the master cylinders separately connected each to a respective wheel. Drive, and use the joystick to activate each brake independently to steer. (or use 4 brake pedals?) Also, hook up the throttle to the steering wheel.
