Usually our clutch disc experiments are straightforward and predictable. This wasn't one of those.

These translations are really great… down to the unfinished sentences and random asides. It really helps us understand the meaning and feel of what’s being said. Thank you!
Agree! They have found a perfect balance between levels of original audio and translation. We still get the nuance in the voice while a great voiceover makes us understand what is said. It may seem trivial, but there are lots of channels where they don't include original sound, put loud back(fore)ground music, etc.
This is the school book in how to do it 🏆
Even down to a "bless you" for the sneeze !!! Great work 👍
Is it AI?
@@Mrpurple75 no way AI could perform so well, unless the brilliant translator from BMI Russian is called Arnold Incardona or something 😁
Russian bmi is good
Magnetic clutch!!!
They actually engage very smoothly. IBM's old tape drives used those.
@@erkinalp I bet! I wanna see them put one on a lada and watch it be like driving a semi automatic
I hope they see this.....👍
No

In 1978 i lost my clutch disc in tok alaska in my 1964 Datsun.. we were hippies and did not have much money. we had to order a new disk from anchorage, and rent the garage from the gas station at night. Thankfully they only charged 5 dollars an hour. the pressure plate assembly was so old and corroded i could not adjust it because i was afraid i would break it. as it was i could not get the clutch to dis engage, so i drove 3200 miles to Albuquerque with no clutch release. You can shift without a clutch, but you have to have the engine speed just right. after a while i got good at it. We made it to Albuquerque, but by then i had worn out the starter, after having to stop the engine and engage first and restart the engine in first gear to get the truck to move. A couple years later some crazy teen agers crashed into that little datsun while i was in Portland Oregon as it was parked in front of my apartment. I happily proclaimed to my wife, Honey, someone killed the datsun. That solved allot of my problems. the answer was there all the time. BTW I had the clutch working when the truck died.
"Is it burned rubber or burned clutch?"
"Yes!"
This is one of the greatest science channels out there👍
it's both burnt clutch and burnt rubber
"did you do a burnout or did you ruin the clutch?"
I wouldn't call it science as much as let's do some stupid shit 🙄
@@eddiebeaty8150 it was a joke, but I'm guessing it's hard to convey in text, I thought it'd be obvious tho😁
@@bennylloyd-willner9667 of course it was, so was my response in a sarcastic way. 😄 🤣
You guys made brake pads out of copper and aluminum. As I recall, the copper ones worked pretty well. How about a copper or bronze clutch disc??
Probably would cause alot for wear on the clutch assembly.
@@jwalster9412 Undoubtedly. But Garage 54 experiments be only gotta work for an hour at most! 😂
I doubt it would cause much wear, as it is softer than the clutch parts
with as many crazy ideas as this shop comes up with, one of them eventually is bound to be groundbreaking and change the way we do something
It isn't this one
lol, def isn't this one
Never learn real engineering, it will eviscerate the magic and leave you with nothing but cost/benefit analysis formulas.
Leather might be worth trying. Make sure flywheel and pressure plate surfaces are smooth so it doesn't tear.
Original clutches were actually leather
Yep should work just fine
My grandfather had some old american car maybe a dodge, it had similar to wine corks for a clutch, was a wet system running in oil, my dad (a kid in the 1950's) went to the chemist to get 200 medicine bottle corks so his dad could rebuild the clutch
@@Colt45hatchback makes sense for a wet clutch.
8:16 THAT steering wheel XD
You should experiment with carbon fiber or Kevlar it should resist temperatures pretty good and it'll be easy to make the perfect thickness so the clutch won't stick
sefu, ambreiajul este din kevlar.... ambreiaj cu fibra de carbon exista deja, deci nimic nou sub soare
@@anubaral yes I know but that's special and that's made in a factory by machines they should build their disc by hand and then see what happens because it's just straight raw carbon fiber unlike already existing mixed with different materials and clutches soaked in oil but this one would be interesting to see a dry carbon fiber made by hand
Well even plain fiberglass would resist high temperatures, but the resin not really. It must be some severely compressed woven fiberglass or carbon fiber to cope with the stress, but it'll be nice to see and they'll figure something out anyways.
@@johnbelwell2461 that's what I'm talking about I hope that they're listening and got it all planned who knows maybe they got the videos already made they're ready to release them
@@johnbelwell2461 I know they make monocarbon clutch but it's very expensive so they should just try it because it's cheaper that's the idea when you live a hard life and communism you got to learn how to steal these manufacturer process and I'm a firm believer of building my own stuff even if I have the money to afford it but it would be nice if someone would experiment for me
Using the old ceramic clutch rings to apply even clamping to the new clutch disc was very clever.
Burnt clutch never smelled so good.
5:17 installs rubber clutch disc.... "But what is up with the clutch" 😄. Love this guy.
I wonder how graphite plates would do. Graphite is know to be slippery but with that much pressure… hmm… Could be a very smooth clutch.
I was just thinking about that
Try a brass clutch. We use brass brake pads on our fourwheelers and buggies. You do sacrifice some stopping power for longevity, but they still stop good enough. Even on the big rides we use them
Make a clutch out of a locking torque converter
1:40, ive had alot of whiskey and these building montages hit HARD. keep up the great videos! i wish i were there to learn mechanics and have fun!
Can you try using cork sheet as friction material? they used it for motorcycle clutches a long time ago and it seems to have worked allright
That's a wet church but I think it will work
Clutch not church lol
@@dbdave92 I was thinking wet Church? :)
@@dbdave92 FJB
they still do. They infuse other things into the cork now to help it, but if you ever see something listed as a "organic clutch" then that's what it is.
Left me with a renewed appreciation for the kind of friction material which only works when sufficient pressure is applied
you should replace brake rotors on a car with clutch disks
That sounds really complicated, but awesome
How about putting 4 turbos on a Lada engine?
Can it be done?
Or 2 supercgargers?:)
3:30 - broken piece of input shaft - that's exactly how I was doing it since 1997 on my 4G6x and 4G3x motors.
About the same thing is going on there as if you leave an unmodified clutch out in the moisture sitting for too long or if you wash your tractor and water gets down in that bell housing it freezes the clutch to the flywheel surface then you're only option from there ..if you can't get it to break free aside from taking it apart is hosing the clutch plate down with something like non silicone based penetrating or kerosene to get it to let go
The toaster oven @2:23 has seen better days. I hope the garage doesnt use it to cook garage burritos.
I remember the one where they put a large spring between to halves of the car. They need to do that with a slinky type spring. Imagine the dog toy in Toy Story, with the slinky for its middle... Or maybe a bunch of real Slinky's
That was very cool!!
Maybe try red earthen Clay flower pots as a clutch material or Carbon fiber Clutch
Should test the Blish lock theory from the early 1900s with a clutch. The theory is simple, one metal softer than the other, when instant pressure is applied, it should cause a sticking resistance. It was used in the early Thompson submachinegun for delaying the action, but found to be unnecessary
Thompson used Brass against hardened steel to try accomplish this.
I experienced a similar thing when experimenting with moped clutches made of various rubber compounds. They worked great at first, but eventually they would expand and the bike would be incredibly hard to start.
When I first saw the title I thought "This is going to take a Goodyear or two to get done" but the he brought out the conveyor belt and it only took a few seconds
And this is why you're the king of all Adventures inventions I mean you come up with all kinds of experiments you make stuff work and you see if it doesn't work you are so freaking awesome I can't get enough of grad 54 thank you again love you guys and Dad you guys are the other are the bomb thank you again have a blessed day and God bless you Russian rules
9:23 ... : Engine starts :
"Ok, the car is running"
: shifts into first :
Grrriiigggiiiidddiiiiggghlkeert
"Oh for crying out loud"
Lololol
Making the clutch plate and the flywheel with GEAR-TEETH would be interesting 🤓
Solid!
Top KEK!
Another good one!
i cant wait for the day we actually meet the translator
Vlad is looking like santa with that cap.
14:30 14:50 reminds me of my "drift car" with the snow plow for plowing "snow drifts". what else is drift car? big tire chains... V8 engine... like truck almost but only because of the tire chains.
Clutch disc out of bronze or copper?
TAKE A HUGE RUBBER AND MAKE A WHOLE WHEEL OUT OF IT. No rims, just one big piece of rubber
For someone working on a Lada everyday, he speaks very fluent English.
Heres an idea. Maybe build a 5 foot long coil out of brake line and make it so it fits inside an exhaust pipe and then drill holes in the pipe to let the end of the coil out. Then connect those 2 coil ends to an extra heater core inside the car and fill it with coolant with a mini very low speed electric water pump. See if an exhaust heating system could work
yes it works great. Toyota Prius has it in colder markets and some Peugeot Diesel had that as well
Volkswagen bugs had exhaust heatera
@@jarradmcdaniel9641 different working principle. So had the Trabant
What could possibly go wrong? LOL
oh oh I know: "When the rubber meets the road."
Or in this case, when the rubber meets the flywheel!
I'll get my coat.
You should turn a car into a snow catcher that heats it up and turns itself into a hot tub.
Catcher as in you don't drive but it catches all the snow falling from the roof.
Whats next...cheese clutch? lol
Great job BMI
Try coating a tire with bedliner so it fills in the treads and makes a smooth surface when it's dry mix 50 percent bedliner and 50 percent pea gravel and coat the tire to make rough surface for the snow and ice or off road what ever dry pavement would probably be fun.
you can get thin conveyor belt they use them on check out counters
7:55 wait ... that's an evo right there 👀
you should make a clutch that uses stone, get the stone cut with a water jet or something
Jade stone
It's almost as if G54 has never used, or even _heard of_ Racing Slicks, and how much grip they get once warmed up! 😏
When he was trying to get into reverse, my first thought was "grind me a pound too".
how about cork? vintage transmission bands were made with cork lining to apply?
Vulcanizing 101 the hard way 🔥
How about a push-pull Lada where you start off with a front drive Lada (VAZ-2108 Lada Samara) add another front drive Lada drivetrain inside the rear compartment? Two engines driving two drivetrains. Of course, the steering linkage in the rear has to be locked in place so it will drive normally. Take if off road to see how it stacks up against a Lada Niva.
Try to install glow plugs in petrol engine. Will it start better in the cold?
nope just detonation
It wouldn't run at all. Petrol engines need spark plugs to ignite the fuel.
@@9PlatinumGamer9 He didn’t say remove the spark plugs… maybe glow plugs in addition? In any case I can’t see how it would start better unless it was EXTREMELY cold. Petrol works fine all the way down to about -40°
@@truthsmiles Colder than that. We've had gasoline motors start at temperatures lower than -40, and winter gasoline formulations are more volatile to help.
@@kingduckford Yeah I should have said "at least -40" - in any case I don't think the primary problem is fuel volatility - I'd say it's more likely very thick oil and/or the cold battery not having enough oomph. Hence why we have a lot more block heaters and battery heaters than fuel heaters :)
A clutch disc with different types of sandpaper?
This was interesting experiment
I just started the video but I'm thinking it might work a little bit if you're going slow but it's going to smell like burning rubber and then break down fairly quickly
Я только что начал видео, но я думаю, что это может немного сработать, если вы едете медленно, но оно будет пахнуть паленой резиной, а затем довольно быстро сломается.
Really cool!!!!!
Aaaaa, LUBRICANT TO CLUTCH!😂
Somewhere in Russia, some guy is walking home from work, only to see a random lada headbutting a small hill
Talk about “sticky” clutch!! Try a carbon fibre one next!!
With rubber it be resisting spinning and will grip the flywheel, the rubber is getting hot due to the friction and sticking to the flywheel.
This is great 😄
Could a tq converter be fitted as a clutch?
Since tq works on transmission fluid, ho do you wish to create such pressure in manual?
@@kxpes An transmission pump could also be put in a custom housing in line. They actually have existed. Although you just get a worse version of both so its not ever seen in production cars. Some heavy duty vehicles have them though.
Lead clutch disc now 😆
Hear me out, a high flow hydraulic pump for auto transmission, but put a clutch on the auto trans. Run the pump off the belt drive.
Those poor tortured Ladas.
Try driving with the spider gears all welded together
“Why is it doing that?”
Umm. Yea.. why is that fire burning that wood? Why does it do that? Lol
This one was particularly funny, what a terrible idea 😂
In the engine, can you replace the belt and chain by gears ?
frosted/etched glass clutch as an idea to try next
How about put rubber on the flywheel and pressure plate too?
The two surfaces; the pressure plate and the flywheel should be mirror polished so they don't eat at the rubber.
5:21 fullmark crv
And what about sandpaper?
I guess all the people in your area say... What are those crazy guys doing this time?
This is why we don't use rubber as clutch material. Don't try this one people. Great video though.👍
You should try making out of tires as the rubber should handle the heat a bit better!
Do Magnesium next!
Hell expensive:)
well the first cars used leather so rubber will work for a short while,in the "bush mechanics " TV series aboriginal australians make clutch facings from wood in an emergency
My son came up with an interesting idea for a new clutch mechanism, how about an electromagnetic clutch?
Rubber burning up from too much bite friction. Trying dropping it or barely leaving on bite
How about building the most difficult car to drive with all wheels having a steering wheel with two reverse steering wheels & two steer right go right steer left go right steering wheels. And Break pedals in the middle front seat & the accelerator pedal in the middle back seat? So that it requires Six people to drive it and each time you stop all steering drivers jump out and change seats LoL 😂
Vlad:It work well..
Me:Sure,so why you cant change gears easy?:)
The rubber has benefits of not wearing down the flywheel but that's it :D
Maybe you've added a bunch of new stuff to the store even if we _have_ been there recently.
Vlad we need you to fix stuff!!!
what if you made a disc out of titanium? Light weight and super strong. Curious to see what how long it would last...
Melted soda can clutch disc!
CVT torque converter behind the transmission maybe..?
Не могли бы вы попробовать установить манжетное уплотнение задом наперед, чтобы увидеть, насколько сильно оно протекает?
looks like a lada fun
I don't even have to watch this one I think . Lol.
Cement clutch! Or cement flywheel! 😂
Steel clutch, copper clutch, tungsten clutch.
Should try.making.a button disk with brake pad material
It will work just for how long, a long live won't be expected for sure 😁😁💯💯👊👊👊
Burning rubber AND clutch in one package... :P
