@@that1guy82 yeah, or they might be able to get away w/ the exhaust outlet being under water if they put some up & down U-shaped bends or a check valve in the pipe so the engine doesn't get flooded every time the motor dies
You should use an LPG carburettor to control and regulate the airflow from the tanks. That way you'll have stable pressure the can react to throttle position in conjunction with the normal petrol carbie
To make it more efficient, you can add a pressure regulator so that the pressure is kept constant without air being wasted. Also, maybe some kind of exhaust gas recirculation to use any unburnt air/fuel, such as in your video of running Ladas on exhaust gasses
@@timjohnun4297 There's a sealant the Jeep guys use to make their distributor caps water proof for crossing rivers. Waterproofing electrical could be the next step.
Roadkill did it with multiple large compressed air tanks and it made a good amount of power and yes like the other guy said it's called CAS, Compressed Air Supercharging
I tried something similar to my 56 Ford I6 engine. I hooked a heater blower motor up to the single barrel carburetor. Had a switch inside. The engine would not run with the blower on. Try to start it with the bower on and it would not start. Start without the bower, fine; turn blower on, engine dies. A carburetor needs atmospheric pressure to regulate the gas flow. Gas was being blown under pressure through the metering jets. Tried hitting the switch at speed and full throttle and it did not die. Conclusion is it needed to be fuel injected and carburetorated..
You should get a diesel tow behind compressor that puts out like 375 cfm @ 100 psi. Then maybe that would be enough air to act like a blower for continuous forced induction and make a ton of boost.
I think it would be nice to have a compressor attached to the engine so you can rebuild pressure in tanks as its running and maybe you can use smaller tank also.
I don't think the laws of physics will let you get more than you put in. It would require even more energy to run the compressor. I won't lie, the thought entered my head as well.
@mike-drums-maine What he described is basically just a positive displacement supercharger with more steps and less performance. Fuel consumption would increase, but it could certainly be done.
@@johnfox3845 so... jake brake on a truck. engine becomes the compressor. regen braking, cant see that increasing fuel consumption. air in tanks. cooled down after compression. screw 8kg, which is basically 8:1 CR. aim for scuba pressures. ~200kg. pump it straight into the combustion chamber just before ignition. cold air. reducing detonation at those pressures. no pumping loss in engine having to re-compress air that just a second ago was already compressed much higher than its about to be compressed to... really cold air. so cold it may have to be passed through a heat exchange in the exhaust system to get it hot enough... expanding compressed air cools down, it has to absorb heat from somewhere or it doesnt expand... of course, not for constant running, just a squirt when required.
@@didnotwantthis ik! but i wish to see how longer can engine run with some pressure back in tanks. Should make it last some extra time. Another thing is to send back the excess of pressure back to tanks and use it again instead of using a relief valve. I dont know if this is even possible but this is garage54 they can try anything.
There was a company working on this. Its called CAS(compressed air supercharging) they used scuba tanks and application specific tank valve with a regulator to control the pressure.
Will a Lada run on oxygen and acetylene as a mixture? Make a crude carburetor with oxygen coming into the air cleaner snorkel and the acetylene coming to a port under the throttle plate. Send the gases through a common torch handle. Find a way to roll the torch control valves with the throttle. Then send the gases to their separate ports. It may not give enough mixture control but, maybe Vlad can come up with a more effective means of getting a wider range of control over the torch handle.
yes. no. acetylene is hella explosive. also explosively degrades above 14psi. one atmosphere. without oxygen. mixed with oxy, weee. kaboom. its not a nice _conflagration_ or slow burn, its a fast, explosive detonation as it ALL goes up. poor lada will end up as a pile of dust... a bit like the clear crankcase did! without the oxygen it will work.. sort of. acetylene also has a huge variation in flammable air/fuel ratios.
With bigger injectors I wonder what sort of quarter mile time you could deliver? When the compressed air is released it is also very cold (great for combustion) which is better than turbo or supercharger which gets the air hot so it has to go into an intercooler, this air will be much colder than that. I have often wondered if a drag car would be more efficient if it carried cold compressed air....
Some shop made a compressed air boosted car (I think it was a drag car?) I just remember seeing a video of the tank in the trunk and I believe it was on a dyno. They may have even opened a dump valve in one video to show how much air pressure was in there. It held enough air for like a 1/4 mile power boost.... It's been ages since I saw it, but it was on RUclips.
I like that Vlad was very risky on this one for the purpose of an experiment we all wanted to see, if that thing does a backfire that "receiver" tank would fly sky high.
1). Blow through carb 2).Lots more fuel 3).Rip all that off put a NOS fogger kit lol. Nah you need windows or flaps in the top can that can be pulled open by the vacuum of the carb when running on no air, then when it's pressurized it slams the flaps shut and into the carb it goes. Some European cars have similar things on the radiator fan shrouds. At speed they're forced open by wind/air pushing through the shroud. When stopped, they shut and the fan does all the work. I don't know just a thought! Y'all do some crazy stuff I really enjoy watching you guys!
Another great project. I have a sugestion for you guys you might like to try. Back in the late 60s I was an apprentice mechanic and I used to visit the men next door who was a carpenter and a very smart guy, Anyway he had this idea to make cars safer, this was before airbags and crumple zones. He said car makers need to make cars safer in the event of an accident. His idea was to fit the front and back bumpers on springs so that if you had a accident to springs would absorb the inpact and shock of the accident an so preventing damage to the body of the car and also keeping the people in the car safer. I think this would be a perfect project for Garage 54. Mount the front and rear bumper on coil springs and do some crash tests and see what happens. I hope you do it, thank you so much for your channel.
I really like these 4x4 station wagons. They are my guilty pleasure to watch roving around on russian youtube videos. I think these things are Lada's right? There is just something so neat about something built so simple and sturdy.
Of course this would work vlad, what you think they make nitrous oxide cans for? Now how effective can an ac compressor be to pressurize an Air tank upto about 300psi, and run about 20psi into intake, gotta account for intake flow rates at given load rpms too
I have a new one for you. Cleetus ran a bone stock LS the other day on a mix of ethanol/Nitromethane, +60% HP/TQ It was WILD, NO BOOST, NA. HP went from like 280 wheel HP to 490+ Run a LADA on mix of ethanol/Nitro, they put in like 49 degrees of timing.
Во-первых, ты молодец! Вот мое предложение, берите прямой выхлоп от Жигулей, прямо из выпускного коллектора. Добавьте большой винтовочный глушитель на конец выхлопной трубы. Вы можете найти схему винтовочного глушителя в разрезе и сделать его таким, используя перегородки и прочее. Еще раз спасибо!
Hey that was one great experiment! You guy’s impress me every time with your insane concoctions!👌😂👍you guy’s should try to make a James Bond type submersible car!
It needs efi and a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator. Then hook.the thrittle to the tank regulator to supply boost under full throttle. Its been done on toymakerz on a drag car.
to do that "corect" you need to set it up as a carbed turbo. so enclose the carb and have a fuel pump + regulator that can feed over the pressure. ten high octane fuel and go up in bar until it say bang ;)
Replace the valve springs with air cylinders, and set those air tank regulators to 35 bar or atm. Now, you will have a formula one Lada engine! Use brake line to carry the air to the air springs. Should be able to rev very high......if the connecting rods hold up.
How about having a Kickdown Switch operated Stored Air Injection Boost? Inject at 1 bar above atmospheric, with a 100mm diameter Reed Valve upstream to Contain backflow during boost, and Automatically Open pass-through during Normal Aspiration.
A diaphragm or a air bladder might be easier to manage than blow off ls and other accessories in addition to not wasting any of the supplied air an elastic accumulator if you will
greetings, what if you had to use the same theory with a compressor to fill the tanks one goes empty then the second one kicks in and the first one gets refilled by the air compressor, and so it repeats to constantly keep going ?
I’ve been wanting to do this on my own. Because I figured it’s like nitrous where it can help boost compression by forcing compressed air into the engine
This is pretty dope but I always wondered if you couldn’t feed a compressed air tank with a turbo. Like, imagine that for average drive you could charge your air tank with the BOV and then dump the compressed air to alleviate the turbo lag.
@@AxelP33 correct. Ford had a rear bumper tank made from titanium that gets supplied with boost pressure during no/part throttle. When you use full throttle, the butterfly valve releases tank pressure into intake manifold. It technically wasn't cheating. But what Toyota did in wrc was a whole different ball game
Immagine a compressor, continously using the compressed air system to basically feed high pressure air into the manifold and pretty much replacing the need for a turbo.
insted of going into top of carb need to make a box around it and fill the box with air. I have always thought of setting up with a oxygen port to add to fuel air mix. how would it compere to nitrisoxcide? I have heard of LP gas added to diesel to enhance it's prefomance
There's an idea in fueling the exhaust gases to a turbo (to get a reduction) and to then compress air and then feed the exhaust gases to the engine to re-burn. Something along those lines..
I don't know where the error is, but towards the end of the video the English voiceover was saying that the engine was running lean producing black smoke when in fact it is a rich mixture that produces black smoke
I mean yea but not really, skipping the large variety of propulsion systems in modern torpedos that's kind of like saying that rockets use the same fuel/oxidizer setup, it's a very different kind of combustion engine (external vs Internal) in the end.
Is it possible to use compressed air instead of a starter motor? If so, with led technology, magneto ignition and natural aspiration through a carburettor, we could possibly do away with the battery!
This setup is very close to the air powered dragster that Don Garlits made back in the '60s I believe. Make the crank and cam a one to one, probably shorten the duration a bit, feed a hundred psi to the intake and HOLD ON. The NHRA banned it very quickly!
When adjusting the air, the valves on the cylinders should have been fully open and the pressure regulators used to control air into the engine. This would have resulted in the regulators automatically adjusting for the air requirements of the engine resulting in much better and more reliable performance.
Put a 5h horse power horizintal shaft honda in a lada and then use compressed air to run it. I would be interested in seeing how many miles you could drive it with tje same amount of compressed air you used on this build.
All right I enjoy always your videos like to push the envelopes this is great ultimately if you can get that car running on air like this for 10 minutes basically you can do roughly 10 minutes I would be a good distance if you're running at 60 km so you could basically do a good 6 km in about 10 minutes i I think you can do more than theirs as well I definitely think you can push it more you're running 60 horsepower motor I think you could run. Motor on 8 hp even less than this maybe adjusting some gears seem able to get a little bit more speed basically lure the RPM ultimately love the video keep on pushing the boundaries I wish you all the best of your organization you guys are amazing
I wonder what they could if they worked to shed as much weight as possible. Using carbon fiber or fiberglass tanks. Install a solar powered air compressor. So as the car sits, the compressor could recharge the cylinders. Also have something that runs only when you press the accelerator. So when you’re not accelerating. There’s no air being used.
But does this configuration need fuel? compressed air has energy stored that can do work. The amount of energy stored in compressed air is equal to the volume times the pressure (cubic meter times Force per square meter is equal to Force times meters, Nm, or Joule.) So the energy in those tanks is 2 * 0.04 (40 liters, or 0.1 cubic meter) * 1e7Pa (100 Bar, or 1e7Pa =N/m^2 )=0.8 million joules
😂 The first tank cracked me up.... A 2L engine idling at 600rpm would have that empty real quick.... Need about 120L at 300bar and add a bigger fuel pump and rising rate fuel pressure regulator/carby built for boost 👌 then you will have the power and range to take that submarine for a swim.
All you need is an intake and a big check valve in the accumulator for the engine to run naturally aspirated, and you have yourself a short-term forced-induction power boost when you open the tanks.
it would be interesting to see the car running fully submerged with this technique
Exhaust would need modification to stay above the water, but cool to see a sub lada
@@that1guy82 yeah, or they might be able to get away w/ the exhaust outlet being under water if they put some up & down U-shaped bends or a check valve in the pipe so the engine doesn't get flooded every time the motor dies
Ignition would die immediately, would need to seal up an old school diesel engine to do that
He said he’s gonna buy himself a wetsuit!!
Why did he keep showing the gauge that never moved?
You should use an LPG carburettor to control and regulate the airflow from the tanks. That way you'll have stable pressure the can react to throttle position in conjunction with the normal petrol carbie
That's exactly what I was thinking, my brother is an alternative fuel conversion professional, besides being a mechanical scientist 😂
Would a form of rising rate regulator help? Or perhaps a couple of different ones..?, one for the fuel one for the pressure vessel or air intake
To make it more efficient, you can add a pressure regulator so that the pressure is kept constant without air being wasted. Also, maybe some kind of exhaust gas recirculation to use any unburnt air/fuel, such as in your video of running Ladas on exhaust gasses
This Lada could run under water! Incredible!
I think you are right
Until it runs out of pressure

Can you try to compress the air and reuse the same air pressure round and round without running low on pressure.
But does this configuration need fuel? compressed air has energy stored that can do work. The amount of energy stored in compressed air is equal to the volume times the pressure (cubic meter times Force per square meter is equal to Force times meters, Nm, or Joule.) So the energy in those tanks is 2 * 0.04 (40 liters, or 0.1 cubic meter) * 1e7Pa (100 Bar, or 1e7Pa =N/m^2 )=0.8 million joules
Who needs a turbo if u have compressed air 🌚
I wonder what mixes of different gases would improve the efficiency?
Compressed air, to *instantly* rev a turbo?
That was an awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
These guys look like a cartoon Motormouse and Autocat, or Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines, with their crazy inventions....
What of you could fit A kompressor to the Engine? And build upp presure to the tanks, would you be abel to drive like forever in theori
I am waiting for the lada TSI
I would like to see you put an air compressor from the shop to run the car now hahaha
😂 The first tank cracked me up.... A 2L engine idling at 600rpm would have that empty real quick.... Need about 120L at 300bar and add a bigger fuel pump and rising rate fuel pressure regulator/carby built for boost 👌 then you will have the power and range to take that submarine for a swim.
Can weld a bunch of blocks together and make a inline 20 lada engine?
Use compressed air in place of a turbo or supercharger that would make for interesting performance difference between using compressed air and none.
All you need is an intake and a big check valve in the accumulator for the engine to run naturally aspirated, and you have yourself a short-term forced-induction power boost when you open the tanks.
have u guys tried using a basic high pressure washer as a fuel injection?
How about fuel injector and air injector that use air pump instead of regular valve air intake
What about running the engine under water with the cylinders
