The spark plug in the tailpipe is an old trick to shoot flames from the tailpipe
I was wondering what that was all about.
@@-dystopic- Except usually the tailpipe extends straight out and not dumps under the vehicle like that. Turning the underside of your car into a barbeque is probably not the swiftest thing, not to mention how rich it will need to run to actually get the flames. I'm guessing that's how he's doing it from the visible gap between the exhaust and the tip to pull in fresh air. That's gonna be some expensive bling with todays fuel prices.
@@mysock351C If he got a spark plug in there, there probably an injector somewhere further up the pipe to put some fuel in, that's what they usually do. It's pretty frickin dumb though.......
I was going to post this but you saved me the time. Thanks
That's the afterburner igniter!
Actually impressed with the spark plug in the exhaust it looks well done
Its so that it can ignite and have flames shooting out when you rev, the guy knew what he was doing since that Camaro looked clean as hell
At first i was confused, i thought it would be a gas emision controller, but thoose don't go at the tip of the exhaust, rather next to the manifolds. Then he pulled the cable and the lights on the world came back to me XD
The amount of people who will record instead of warn or help you amazes me
@@lukas-ux9zp yeah, people are stupidly selfish, that's why the problem with pointing and laughing is getting really bad. Though i don't know what you're refering here
you can buy kits online, it comes with a controller usually that modifies fuel air ratio in engine so you have more unburnt fuel and that ignites it into a flame . i wanted to do that to my jeep till i also learned how bad it is for the engine not burning fuel properly
0:47 He crashed right into that spot perfectly!
you mean 0:47?
@@AbdirahmanAden_ yes oops lol
parking rent car level expert
Parking lot with automatic alignment, it sure comes in handy
and then someone just want to feel like you're in the house but in the car lol
Boy, I hope the dude dropping the drive shaft survived. Looks like old boy ran himself over.
He's Alright I saw it on TikTok he finds it funny actually but yeah he's alright and the truck didn't went to far down the driveway
@@AdventuresWithBugs glad it didn't went too far down
@@wbdharris this made me giggle, thank you.
I went to recover a half burnt truck that was on a hill, our tow truck didn't have parking brakes and I popped the drive line. When I did it headed for a deep ditch, luckily my cousin yoinked me out when it went.
Feel like yee a old timer? I don't know many people using boy like that am I right?
The reason you CAN'T put an alternator on each wheel is due to the simple fact you cause more friction/drag than you do creating the energy. The reason "hybrid" cars have 'regenerative' braking is that it uses the stopping force energy created by friction to charge the battery system. Unless you're doing a ton of brake checking on the freeway it would do you no good.
That's how regenerative braking works. ANY time current is flowing through a wire, the magnetic field that's created around it works to oppose the flow of electricity. That's why you can spin a hand-crank generator easily when it's not connected to anything, because it's generating voltage, but no current is flowing, but the moment you hook a light bulb up to it suddenly current flows through the bulb and it becomes much harder to turn. This effect makes it great for slowing the vehicle down since you get a PORTION of the power used to accelerate the vehicle up to speed, minus some resistive losses, air drag, friction, etc., and you save wear and tear on the brake pads, but you'll never get back all the energy you put in, not even close. And to add to that, the wheels DO have alternators on them, an electric motor is just an alternator/generator, they just swap from consuming electricity to generating electricity when you use regenerative braking.
This is true of normal alternators too, the alternator DOES cause drag on the engine, but it's usually not very much because alternators aren't always putting out their full potential, only what the vehicle is drawing at the time, which is usually 25-50 amps at most (ECU, ignition system, fuel pump, electric fans/HVAC blower, marker and head lights) 50 amps at 13.7v = 687w so with efficiency losses it robs roughly 1hp from the engine's total horsepower. Point is, alternators don't give you free energy, and on most electric/hybrid vehicles there's already an alternator analog in place: The electric motor, providing regenerative braking.
came here to say this
Exactly.. That guy's and idiot. The solar panel part is questionable though. Probably wouldn't be practical or provide near enough power for the cost investment, unless you live in the desert or Florida
To answer the other part of the question, Teslas (and any other EV) could have solar panels on the roof. But you need a lot of solar panels to generate any meaningful amount of energy and cars just aren't that big. It simply isn't worth it, you'd only be getting, like, an extra five miles of range per day.
I guess you could always try to build some kind of collapsible solar panel that would deploy when the car is parked too but again why? It's not worth it.
@@nope1918 IIRC the Fisker Karma had an optional solar panel roof and it was used to help power the internal electronics and A/C, it's basically useless for charging the actual car's batteries.
I feel for the dude with the trains, I kicks you right in the soul when one is almost done and another goes by. That's life in the midwest though XD
Seriously lol! I actually used to plan my shopping and such around it, since you never knew when you would have to wait and wait and wait and wait... The worst is if they have to go into emergency and stop or something. Practically have to sleep in your car at that point.
@@mysock351C Wait, how long do you usually have to wait for a train that long?
@@randomkitty2555 I've seen them stop for hours if something really goes wrong. It was possible to get around it, but it added a good 20 minutes to get on the interstate and go to the next town over, depending on how long it was.
Or just anywhere with trains
@@randomkitty2555 they're usually long enough to cut a town in half.
the one city i grew up in had them every day. if i was slow walking home from school I'd have to wait a good 10 minutes.
they were usually around 200-300 train cars long. i hope they would get fined for stopping and blocking traffic but probably not.
The one at 1:28 "No officer, I'm not the one shooting 4 foot flames from my exhaust..."
That sparkplug on the tail pipe is an old trick from the 50s. Used through the 60s and even into the 70s. You ran ignition wire to that spark plug and using a switch, ran power to that spark plug instead of one in the engine. This would cause raw fuel to be expelled out the tail pipe and this spark plug would ignite that fuel causing flames to shoot out your tail pipe! Depending on the engine, 3 - 4 feet long flames!
Obviously it's been used up till the 2020s
That's honestly an awesome piece of history. I love that it's still being used today lol
I feel like this could cause your ride to blow up on you really easily....and when I said *blow up* I mean fireball not tick-tok
Sacrifice a cylinder for braindead aesthetics …
@@chaseroland6086 engine balance is really important for vibrations and efficiency and this disrupts it badly, nowadays it's not done that way anymore, there is a controller that let's some gas spew out onto the exhaust in the exhaust valve fase. I'ts still not healthy though
0:46 still better at parking in the lines than most people.
6:54 can we just apreciate the strugling sounds of his mate strugeling to unbolt something in the bckground the whole time
There's never an in-between XD Its finger tight or acetylene tight it seems.
6:26 my guy skipped at least 5 grades of school. This would mean you can drive infinitely far without ever needing to stop to charge, thus it would be Perpetual Motion which is impossible. It would also break another law of thermodynamics; You cant get get out more energy than what you put in.
Also, fiskar has solar panel roofs......
Not to mention the fact that regenerative braking is used on all 4 corners, because an alternator is basically just an electric motor anyway. Point is, the dude has no idea what he's talking about
@@GeekyGamer167 yeah. Sometimes its better to do 5 minutes of research before making a tiktok that ends up backfiring like a nuke.
@@GeekyGamer167 I believe he was just curious.
Also the alternator doesn't charge the battery it just maintains it.
Spark plug in the exhaust is to shoot flames out the tailpipe by setting the carb rich
Yeah. Simple flamethrower.
The funny part is the mechanic didn't know that.
Also a fun tip, spark plugs and O2 sensors can have the same thread and sealing seat.
So to add a flamethrower plug bung, You can just use an O2 sensor bung.... And to solve that pesky "rear O2 sensor fault" from your "test pipe", you can use a spark plug antifouler.
@@TravisFabel funny thing is it serves the same purpose as a cat but to a far less efficient degree
The 1-1/4" trailer receiver ground away to nothing from rubbing the road was the best. No safety chains either!
Personally have an '07 Pontiac Vibe similar to that one, and i have no need for the hitch. So i tried unbolting the reciever, and it wouldn't budge. Unless I get a torch, I'm stuck with a near useless tow hitch.
9:50 You can't tow a prius with the front wheels on the ground anyway. The motor regen will kick in even with the car turned off, and you'll blow the battery pack through overcharging it
Dude could have rented a dolly from uhaul for like $50
3:08 Honestly, this looks terrifying to me. Any moment a trailer can break off and run into other car.
6:17 So, an interesting thing about alternators... They are generators. Funny thing about generators... they are electric motors. Tesla does, in fact, recoup spent energy from rotating tires when you break because once you turn a motor into a generator it creates a tremendous amount of magnetic drag. All electric and some hybrid cars do that to extend the batery charge in a process called regenrative breaking.
Also, fun fact: the original Tesla Motors design of the Roadster included solar panels on the roof and hood. Turns out, there isn't enough surface area to generate enough charge to justify the addition of solar panels due to additional cost. Who wants to spend an additional $5k for 5 more minutes of run time? Old coot needs to read a book.
you can feel it if you have ever ridden a bicycle with a wheelpowered light. sucks up all the speed
@@hillppari the older ones, yes, i have one in my wheel instead of on the wheel and you dont notice it at all
1:27
Spark plug for the after burners.
FLAMES
Because the power needed to turn an alternator is more than it provides, so you'd be draining the battery even faster. Solar panels have been put on hundreds of concept cars - they add weight, are expensive, are not efficient enough yet, and replacing them due to scratches, dents, and accidents is cost prohibitive when the panels only add a dozen or two miles to the range. This isn't a new idea.
Sounds like electric cars are just a money pit to me... never mind you need fossil fuels to even charge the damn things.
they already do have "alternators" for regenerative braking, sometimes if you're only going downhill you can end up with more energy in the battery than when you first got in the car just by driving it. in my opinion hybrid for now is the best of both worlds and i think electric vehicles should be mandated later onwards, 2035 is too early
@@blur3253 Nothing should be mandated by the government. All they do is make everything worse!
@@blur3253 that is not possible unless the drive is from the top of the hill downwards. Understand the basics of thermal dynamics before arguing that evs should be mandated
That would make it the famed "perpetual motion machine" mankind has been seeking since Newton.
5:54 Achievement unlocked: Oh hell no
"How did we get here?"
6:20 When you skip a physics class
When you skip school completely
I mean the worst part is they do essentially have alternators 😂 the motors work as a generator and recover battery, same as an alternator
@@zake881 Shhhh...No one tell him about regenerative braking
@@zeropointmx2552 I wasn’t gonna say anything lmfao
4:39, When you take slide your tandems to the rear a little too literally.
6:17
Because now you are talking about perpetual motion, which is impossible. Adding a generator to each wheel would create additional drag. The car would then have to use more electricity to overcome this drag, thereby negating the generators. Some cars do have regenerative braking, but the generators are only active when the vehicle is coasting or braking. Additionally, simultaneously charging and discharging a battery is going to drastically reduce its lifespan. An electric car is always going to consume more electricity than it can produce.
He thought he invented regenerative braking
Why couldn't the charge be more than the drag and also could be optionaly turned off and on?
i also love when ppl use gas generators to charge their electric vehicle. like whats the point of buying electric car if u still gonna burn fossil fuel to charge it xD
@@HebuTheLoneWolf to be fair, they're nice cars, instant torque. good launches without worrying about damaging a gearbox or headgasket.
@@nick-zc9xv they're also 80k at least, and 90% of public charging stations are powered by diesel generators. really not saving any money at that point and your damn sure not helping the planet.
I didn't even have to watch past the first video. That gave me all of the lolz I needed.
Never seen a flamethrower kit? Those were fun in the 80s
0:17 jesus christ the oil bender
4:45 that's what I call dedication
That guy said "I'm fucking done. If it moves I'm not stopping"
I think the truck driver was really pissed off. I feel that way too as a delivery driver how fucking stupid roads and parking lots are designed specially when time is money.
3:00 is literally the "time to do some sketchy stuff" meme in a nutshell for whoever owns that car and had done all that work themselves.
6:32 it hurts me that people actually believe this .
2:25 Congratulations! You have a forklift.
0:45 perfect parking, right inbetween the lines
0:38
For a second I thought a helicopter just flew by.
0:47 perfect parking
Homie dropping the drive shaft should have knew to scotch the tire. Especially if he’s making a video to show people how to drop the drive shaft lol
The thumbnail vid at the start is always appreciated!
At 5:15 the bass drops... Those poor Kickers...
The guy that rips the duals off of the trailer must of been a Swift driver
...now the CEO.
@@sleepyhollow783 They seen his potential in the video an said this man's going to the top!
Last one is my favorite .... what people think versus reality ..it's exactly that to a t. That's why I left being a mechanic and rekindled my love for it in my own garage now rather then doing it professionally. Now it's more like the movies lol.
It warms my heart knowing all these vehicles were on the road at some point
ITS THE REAL WRENCH MONKEY
*at the end*
7:00 had that happen to me today on a fully restored frame up c10. Every single suspension part was loose and had cotter pins fitted. I charged to go back through and tighten everything the right way
6:26
WHY ELON WHY CANT YOU ADD ALTERNATORS TO CHARGE YOUR DAMN TESLA!!!
CHARGE AS YOU GO!!!
Because then it would be a gas car 🤓🤓🤓
The last one...
100% spot on.
The very last clip cracked me up.
0:44 better parking job than a soccermom in a Durango
0:30 pull the E brake next time
6:00 when you´re 30+ years old and you stand up from bed too quickly
5:48 Mmmmmmm forbidden soft serve
5:00 looks like something on the vehicle lift broke, i'm guessing one of the equalizing cables snapped upon reaching top-travel or they slipped off of a cable pulley/a cable pulley broke. you can see the lift arms on the right side dropping a foot until the lift's safety locks caught the arms, and the arms on the Left side look slightly higher than the Right side after the fall. that kinda imbalance can sometimes be enough to rock a vehicle off... good thing neither dude was directly underneath it, death by Smartcar is NOT something i'd want in my obituary...
i work on these things for a living, the vehicle lift appears to be a Forward brand DP10A lift with a 10k pound capacity, no way was it over-loaded with a dinky smartcar on it, so that and the way it behaved in the video makes me suspect a part-failure due to lack of maintenance on the car lift. equipment like that should be expected yearly to try and catch things like this before they happen, steel cables often begin fraying over time and with use and if it is not spotted, breaks can occur which lead to things like this. also, make sure the lift arms are set up properly under a car to reduce the risk of it falling off under most circumstances. though with how light a smartcar is i'll bet the thing would have bounced off regardless of where the lift arms were set up
I've seen a few Lorry drivers tear axles off their trailers and carry on like they're oblivious. Are they really that stupid.. or are they really really just THAT pissed off !?!? 🤔
I dunno but it looked like rage to me.
I can say this. Using ANY peice of equipment, from a power jack to a lorry, where you cannot get the thing to turn or maneuver the way you want can get VERY frustrating. Especially, if you feel people are watching or you're on a time crunch. You get pissed make a bad move or adjustment and you're so pissed you keep the bad move going.
0:48 NICE PARK!!
The train one is so relatable! Instant subscriber!
00:23 that guy is an oil bender
The spark plug in the exhaust was for making flames
Great video
The Monkey at the end was icing on the cake LOL :D
6:40 they do... but if he knew how the conservation of energy worked he wouldn't be as stupid..... smh
Spark plug in exhaust is pretty common tuning technic.
9:30, ask anyone who works at a tire place. Tracor/mower/atc tires ALWAYS show up like that. One of the reasons it takes us so long so get them mounted.
看起来很有趣，视频做的很好。👍
4:17 That's less a mechanical problem and more a physics one.
Bruh.... the dude at 6:46 is stoopid. I mean, i get the solar panel but dude, you cant generate more energy by using the same energy
Wow, ...just .......wow.
I really like the outro music
9:35 these must be the new replacement tires for mazda rx-7 & 8
6:18 Because they would lose speed from the friction and isn't energy efficient
There's not enough room for solar panels, if you were to add one then it would only be enough to charge your phone
5:23
Someone is scratching the center console. 😂
The Honking while turning is a safety feature not a problem.
1:08
Old trick in Russia...
1:25...exhaust pipe flame thrower? Hold down a button on the dash, disabling ignition and sending unburned gas to the tail pipe, which ignited by the sparkplug shoots out flame.
I believe your are correct!
@@MidwestTractionModeler He/she is ;-)
I want to know what that 18 wheeler truck driver was thinking.
I'm guessing something like, "I'm just gonna send it and knock the pole over. YOLO"
I like these video
from all the reasons from physics i will pick the simpler one... pretty sure an electric vehicle needs way more power than what 4 alternators can deliver... 😂
6:17 "why can't their be an alternator on each wheel [of a Tesla]"
Um, there is. (Well, probably a DC generator) That's how regenerative braking works.
Yes, electric trains and cars have generators on brakes that are using leftover inertia to retrieve some energy back in battery. I think he meant that they put them to work all the time and charge while they go. He obviously skipped the psyhics lesson where they learned about conservation of energy...
About solar panels, good idea but it would double car price. Solar panels are not cheap to build neither they are that efficient.
Thanks that was great and shocking lol👍
This video made me laugh more than most "try not to laugh" videos do.
6:40 there are cars like that... they are called Formula 1, not Tesla... and not Prius.
Being Hybrid means more than just using the gas/petrol engine to charge the system... also kinetic energy thru braking on ever moving part of the car.
But no... no alternators 😂
Both Teslas and Priuses have regenerative breaking
1:36
is it for shooting flames ?
yes sir, that would be for spitting flames
Thats what I assumed as well
That last one got me good
1:22 that's a flamethrower setup. You cut ignition for a few seconds to get fuel through the motor into the exhaust system, then ignite it with that spark plug in the tail pipe. It's technically a mod, not a problem.
the fact that i might know how the first part happened is amazing xD (might be waste oil collector pumping gone wrong)
0:30 That was a COMPLETELY rookie mistake to remove a driveshaft withOUT chocking the wheels first. 🤦🏻
@ 04:40 when you have had enough of driving a truck and dealing with dispatchers.
33 year veteran trucker n looking forward to hanging up the keys.
that last clip is every place I've taken my car to.
The little truck that thought it could
hahahahahaha that last vid really got me
My man at 6:45 is gonna become a “missing person”
9:24 rotary tires to rotary engine very simple to me
The red green show fixes for stupid problems are one my favorite thing in life. Trunk won't stay close. put a shed lock on it good to go. Having electrical wiring issues with your head lights? Re wire it but do it lazily and use a house light switch to fix it probably cheaper too. lmao
2:25 I'm turning here! HEY! I'M TURNING HERE!!
4:42 "Now hiring professional and non-professional drivers." 🤯😵😵💫🤣
That van!, perfectly parked albeit sudden and a cost lol
I would LOVE, to see/hear the conversation the mechanic had with the owner of that Smart...
As someone who moved to the south from the west who has no knowledge on mechanics, this is still interesting to watch
Legend says that truck is still trying to climb the hill
That guy disconnecting the drive shaft certainly didn't watch "Shake hands with danger".
9:10
Subaru and toyota assembling the new Brz/86 motors
6:17
Bro just engineered the perfect perpetual motion device 😂
Best ending i've seen!
6:00 Christmas tree haha
