    Well, it was a combination of rust, dirt, grease, sound deadening, and paint. just removing sound deadening would have been at least half the weight I would reckon; as I've stripped a car's interior before and learned just how much everything weighed.

      I guess would have been a lot of it is sound deadening material weight and all of the stuff they stripped off from the underside of the car. It may not seem like much fine sand and dirt but over that much area, the weight of all that sand stuck to the dirt and the frame can weigh quite a bit. Ever try and pick up a 5-gallon bucket full of sand? It weighs quite a bit.

      The answer is; UNBEARABLE. Sounds like you are inside a tin biscuit box with marbles inside. The ONLY cushioning is the tyres. Impossible NOT to have all that sound deadening stuff if you want a daily driver.
      So although we all knew what the result would be; a far more interesting topic would be how to reduce the noise level of a tin box WITHOUT adding too much weight and WHAT to do it with.

    If you let the body panels develop “sugar rust” like that, and then immerse it in boiling water for an hour or so, it’ll convert to the black iron oxide, which is commonly called “bluing” on firearms. It’s a stable protective coating that doesn’t add any mass like paint.

    That was surprising. When they were getting ready to hoist the car up for the second time I guessed at 30kg based on roughly how much new sound deadening and 4 or 5L of primer/paint would weigh. Either the paint is REALLY thick on Ladas, there's more sound deadening than I was picturing, or that ones lost an extra 12kg of rust. :D

      @Reman1975 3 месяца назад

      @@ljubomirculibrk4097 Interesting idea, but I'm thinking it's unlikely. Zinc's a pretty good conductor of heat, so it would take
      a fair bit more power to flash vaporise that than it takes to just burn off paint and rust. If you watch the process they're having to make a couple of passes to get all the paint off, so I doubt they were pushing enough energy into it to melt any zinc that may have been there.
      Also, if the power was cranked up high enough to vaporize galvanising I'd expect to see the same tell tail yellow deposits you get on the surface when you don't clean galvanising from sheet metal well enough before welding.

    Here's a video idea I've never seen done: what if you over bored an engine cylinder and instead of honing (cross hatching) the cylinder walls you rust blued them? Apparently rust blued iron is protected from normal rust if it has previously had oil applied to it's surface, so it must be somewhat retaining it.
    You could also try applying bluing solutions to this Lada, since they might make it look quite unique while retaining the reduced body weight. (although the color will not be uniform since bluing isn't consistent)

    Man, this is Bonkers!!! And I like it A LOT!!
    Interesting technique: Laser, let it rust to show up the deep rust pockets! Wasn't expecting that to see! What shows that sometimes unwanted stuff is turning out to be interesting advantage! Awesome stuff , My Friend, Will watch more , and subscibe.I loved the video about inertia starting motors you showed a while ago!
    Мужик, это просто чушь!!! И мне ОЧЕНЬ нравится!!
    Интересная техника: лазер, дайте ему заржаветь, чтобы выявить глубокие ржавые карманы! Не ожидал такого увидеть! Что показывает, что иногда нежелательные вещи оказываются интересным преимуществом! Потрясающая штука, мой друг, буду смотреть еще и подпишусь. Мне понравилось видео об инерционных пусковых двигателях, которое вы показали некоторое время назад!

Maybe see about building the ultimate snow runner. All wheel drive, lift it a couple inches on the suspension, bigger tires, more fuel capacity, roll cage, lighting, heater, and everything that can make it fun off-road.

    This is not just the paint. This car has been painted in the past. You could see it when you scrape the paint. Most of the dents were smoothened with a hammer. However, the bare metal shows many dents which have been covered with filler that was polished before painting. Many rust holes were filled with a filler as well. And you have the residues on the engine itself.

  • @MadScientist267

      In Russia electricity is pretty cheap, yes but they are a special case. They live in Novosibirsk, the world capital of coin miners. Electricity there is dirty cheap because of a cascade of hydroelectric power stations in that region, so since there are not so many factories left, they subsidize locals with very cheap surplus electricity.

    I noticed that it causes the body panels to warp quite a bit. You can see this easily in the time lapses. I imagine all the warping just gives you more bodywork to do than it's worth. That or you could turn the heat down to not overheat the metal.
