With our old tractors that didn't have a block heater we used to use some leftover register ducting (for home forced air heating) and a 90 degree elbow propped under the oil pan with a brick. Then we would run a longer section out the side of the tractor ( 4 to 6 feet) and stick a tiger torch in that end. You could boil the oil in the pan in less than a half hour.
I had a ex-military vehicle here in Norway. And those are set up with external connections to the coolant system. Ready to hook up with valves. You could hook up to another running vehicle or small mobile petrol or diesel powered units designed to circulate and heat. So it defintively works if done right
They sell a very low power use low volume pump at hardware stores meant to keep the "warm" water circulating in a home so there is no wait time for warm water while washing your hands. It would be PERFECT for this application.
I use something like that to heat my workshop and house. I live in a small home with a bedroom a main room and a bathroom with a workshop outside. I have a wood stove in the workshop. I have a copper coil running back and forth under the wood grate, and a 50 gallon barrel of water sitting next to it. I have a check valve on the inlet so that it can suck water in but has to blow it out the top into the barrel. After 3 or 4 hours I've got 50 gallons of 160 degree water which I can then pump into a radiator in the house and keep the house warm.
I found something that is world universal. Using a 3/4 inch reach spark plug to plug a 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch heater hose. Keep up the good work, and a happy healthy new year to you and yours.
Ja sam jednom zavrto grijac od dizela u karter na cep gdje se ispusta ulje,auto je takodje bilo dizel golf 2.i spajo sam grijac sa ostalim,i dok grijaci odrade na nekih -15.pali kao da je +5.
I was gonna say the same thing, or almost yell, "put some gloves on bro" to my TV screen. :) Man, -40 degrees is cold. For me, gloves go on when it is above freezing.
As a small kid when I've been in Mongolia in late 80s, I remember my father had to make a fire under oil pan and rear diff in the winter before we could set of.
A smudge pot is an oil-burning device used to prevent frost on fruit trees. It is usually placed between trees in an orchard and creates heat, smoke, carbon dioxide, and water vapor 1. The burning oil helps keep the orchard from cooling too much during cold snaps
Got a thumbs up from me you guys just keep having fun even in that cold . it worked that is the goal and pulled it off good deal no its time to go inside and warm the body up kudos guys and a happy new year full of good ideas and fun.
While you're freezing at -40 degrees Celsius, we in Quebec, Canada, have temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius and a Christmas without snow! Usually, we have the same temperatures as you.
With some fast swap connectors and a more compact and inclosed heater it would be a very nice independendent heater unit for any engine powered machine. Old army trucks used to have diesel dedicated webasto's to preheat the coolant and the engine at @60° for easy startup. Nowadays we have glowpluggs but the preheating sistem was better in my opinion,putting way less stress on the battery and the starter on very cold starts in freezing temps. Nice approach on the "McGyver" preheating system thou. Keep up the good work and the outside of box thinking in the new year too. Happy new year Garage 59!
Wood, torch, electric, whatever. Principle will work well if optimized by physics of heat fluid convection within and through the engine geometry. Wood stove engine heater is very slavic approach. I like it !
Have the upper hose open above the header tank. You wont get flow from thermal convection alone. What you can do is boil the water in the flexi tube. The expansion will push water out the top hose. It will suck in cold water drom the bottom and repeat.
when a russian guy says :"weather is cold" that means: "weather is so cold, don't even try to figure how cold it is because even your freezer is hotter than the hottest temperature of the day here" pre-heater systems for cars exists but they work with the car's gasoline and aren't cheap
This system with a wood burning stove would be great. Get copper tubing and wrap it around the smoke stack of the stove get some quick disconnects. Then you could keep the car and the house warm with the same stove.
How about a Solar panel preheater? Whit Super capacitors 3000 F 2.5v + over every 2 volt battery cell. Preheater that heat the oil in the engine when turn on heater, move able (Inside) Isolation plates. So you can hold heat in when cold and open up in hot engine.
The top hose on the heater needs to go to the lower hose on the motor. Then the lower hose for the heater needs to go to the upper radiator hose. That way it opens the thermostat like normal
on cold days, kickstarting my '67' harley, i'd plug an electric heater and tarp it off for 1/2 hour. anyone who knows the weight of the oil in those old things, knows it gets under 50, it's honey for sure. add that to kick start? well, but when i wanted to ride? i road..
I think if you installed a check valve so the coolant could flow through system. The way it is I don’t think coolant is flowing it’s just boiling in a small part of cooling system.
prob better off getting a kerocene blower heater and just blow the jet of heat onto the front rad for a good 10 , 15 miniutes perhaps. but not so close as to melt stuff.
Two cars: 1 is warmed up, the other is cold. If you connect the cooling systems of the two cars, how quickly would the other come up to temperature? Or is it all a bunch of blin?
Hmm. " _Lets install an overflow tank here!_ " *Looks at the spark plug plugging where the normal overflow tank should be plumbed to...* " _We initially thought the radiator cap would release excess pressure_ " -Spark Plug- *I'M STILL HERE*
The problem is the battery losing power due to the cold. How about making some type of charging device out of an old alternator that’s spun using firewood as the fuel?
-40? the only time on a thermastat that Celcius and Ferinheit shake hands and agree that it's cold af because -40C is -40F but I've been out in that kind of temps here in canada. I feel for ya.
I am surprised you just didn't put hot coals under the engine or on the block. The car hood could trap heat in the engine area. Or just have a fire pit under the car or have it next to a rocket stove in the engine area or under the block.
A pan of charcoal sat under the engine would probably be less explodey, but I guess that's more likely to cook engine oil if not done right, and at worse, cook the whole car if something catastrophic happened... :P
Just a thought for a future experiment, l have seen videos where a truck was running on Fire wood!? It's can work, l first experienced this when someone said they saw a truck in North Korea running on wood, they use the exhaust gases from the fire....bit like what you did in the exhaust gas recycling experiment. I've seen a video of a guy in the U.S. doing it too. Be great experiment for Garage 54 as l know you be crazy enough to try n a Lada can run on hope alone as we all know 🤣. Good channel guys always entertaining 👍
Like Averna said, the driver side has its own heater core and an aux electric heater to help defrost the drivers side faster and creature comfort as a bonus.
Something that was learned all too well on the battlegrounds of the German invasion during those winters where it was dropping into the -°40's C. They would light wood fires under the engine compartments of the gas and diesel engines in order to get them to run in such low temperatures. But then it was realized even though they were able to get and keep these machines of war running, they were pretty useless for battle let alone use of any kind. At these temperatures the metal would contract so tightly that the rest of the gear boxes or axles were frozen solid. Or the metal parts would just literally split or crack under these conditions and then you have other problems to deal with. Winter months in Northern Russia are the toughest on this planet sometimes, I couldn't imagine what it would be like having to live, let alone fight battles in such environments. The mud came afterwards as temps would thaw out the earth. Then trying to keep equipment and men moving through the half frozen mud had to be a daunting task SMFH!?!? Really these men were amazing who fought in these places under such conditions with barely enough support or supplies to keep them alive! ❤❤❤
The only channel to overheat an engine without actually running it
Lool😅
Lmfaoooo!👋😂👍
in poland some guys did it in a minivan
"Vedbastu" meaning "wood burning sauna" is a nickname for the Webasto heaters in Sweden. I think this is appropriate.
With our old tractors that didn't have a block heater we used to use some leftover register ducting (for home forced air heating) and a 90 degree elbow propped under the oil pan with a brick. Then we would run a longer section out the side of the tractor ( 4 to 6 feet) and stick a tiger torch in that end. You could boil the oil in the pan in less than a half hour.
We used a 4 foot piece of well casing. You're right, 20 minutes at -40.
The damage to the oil is immense, dont heat that much
I had a ex-military vehicle here in Norway. And those are set up with external connections to the coolant system. Ready to hook up with valves.
You could hook up to another running vehicle or small mobile petrol or diesel powered units designed to circulate and heat.
So it defintively works if done right
Thank you for the upload Garage 54, you rock.
Big up BMI Russian for the translation and voice over.
Nice one. It needs a pump to circulate the coolant through the engine for faster warm up.
They sell a very low power use low volume pump at hardware stores meant to keep the "warm" water circulating in a home so there is no wait time for warm water while washing your hands. It would be PERFECT for this application.
water will expand 90% at boiling point pushing its way... question is if the termostat in the engine open
I stuck a block heater on the bottom of my radiator and I have an electric water pump I can manually switch on. Works like a charm
@@3dartstudio007 this is the type of pump I am talking about.
@@Mastermindyoung14 I’m in South Australia, so we don’t have frozen water pipes in my area.
Always coming up with something... I like the winter experiments.

After 3 or 4 hours I've got 50 gallons of 160 degree water which I can then pump into a radiator in the house and keep the house warm.
In the winter lots of people light a fire under the sump of diesel machinery to heat up the oil.❤️💛💚
Ah, morning wood. What a way to start.
I found something that is world universal. Using a 3/4 inch reach spark plug to plug a 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch heater hose. Keep up the good work, and a happy healthy new year to you and yours.
Fabulous test guys! Really fun to watch.

"We won't be making any fires underneath the car" 🤔🧐 😂
Well, these old Lada's never cease to amaze me another great experiment guys love your work.
Below -30C... manipulates metal with bare hands ... Damn haha
Fun video. No gloves. He's a tough bastard!

it's -40F and C there and Vlad zipped up his coat. It's 50F here, and I'm curled up inside a blanket. I need to toughen up.

Happy new year Garage 59!
here in canada and i once had to heat the pan ...i used a top table bbq ...waited 20 minutes and was able to leave
Useful up there in the north.
Not so much here in Florida.
Ive seen something similar to these on military vehicles actually, just a bit more refined :) here in Sweden.
Wood, torch, electric, whatever. Principle will work well if optimized by physics of heat fluid convection within and through the engine geometry. Wood stove engine heater is very slavic approach. I like it !
Amazing!!!!simply Amazing!!! I´m been thinking on this during the winter but i never tried!!!
Very clever idea VLAD!
👋😂👍👉♥️Boy! This guys experiments never gets old! Risking life and limbs for us to be entertained! Happy new year everyone!🪅🎆🍾🎊🎈🥳✌️
fill tiers with water and let the cold freeze them and try driving
Happy New Year to you and to all Garage54 🥂🍾🙂👍

What you can do is boil the water in the flexi tube. The expansion will push water out the top hose. It will suck in cold water drom the bottom and repeat.
All right!, Did I see a spark plug being used for a hose plug? My kind of backyard mechanicing.
Cool now heat your garage with the heater core of your Lada 😃
when a russian guy says :"weather is cold" that means: "weather is so cold, don't even try to figure how cold it is because even your freezer is hotter than the hottest temperature of the day here"
pre-heater systems for cars exists but they work with the car's gasoline and aren't cheap
Man it looks cold 🥶
Your radiators overpressure relief is plugged with a spark plug.
Definitely love the video, you should make one that runs off woodgas.
This system with a wood burning stove would be great. Get copper tubing and wrap it around the smoke stack of the stove get some quick disconnects. Then you could keep the car and the house warm with the same stove.

Preheater that heat the oil in the engine when turn on heater, move able (Inside) Isolation plates.
So you can hold heat in when cold and open up in hot engine.
This was a fantastic video that's freaking awesome.
Nice job and Happy New Year everyone
That Diesel heater exhaust pipe wasn’t cheap for sure!
This may be more effective if you preheat the oil instead. It wouldn't even need to get hot. Only warm enough to loosen the oil. Fun idea though.
You just made a Thermosyphon keep up the good work. You guys are the best at garage 54.
The top hose on the heater needs to go to the lower hose on the motor. Then the lower hose for the heater needs to go to the upper radiator hose. That way it opens the thermostat like normal
Love this!!
Defrosts the windscreen too 👍
I love the winter experiments
Love how he created more problems than solving and make fun of it!😂
that is over 70c colder than yesterday was here.
You should have taken its 'temperature' before, during and after. Maybe you should heat the oil as well.
on cold days, kickstarting my '67' harley, i'd plug an electric heater and tarp it off for 1/2 hour. anyone who knows the weight of the oil in those old things, knows it gets under 50, it's honey for sure. add that to kick start? well, but when i wanted to ride? i road..

I love garage 54❤🇨🇦
I grew up near orange groves. They used smudge pots to prevent freezing. Maybe hook up a smudge pot to it.
-40 degrees, dam that's cold. You guys have it rough over there with cold tempetures
so, now we have also the RusBasto!!!!!!
As a Canadian, I can relate
That is a nice looking old Lada. Don't destoy the poor thing.
The thermostat was in the way of the flow.
Two cars: 1 is warmed up, the other is cold.
If you connect the cooling systems of the two cars, how quickly would the other come up to temperature?
Or is it all a bunch of blin?
This is soo Russian!! Happy New Year, Vlad and Garage 54!!
Hmm. " _Lets install an overflow tank here!_ " *Looks at the spark plug plugging where the normal overflow tank should be plumbed to...* " _We initially thought the radiator cap would release excess pressure_ " -Spark Plug- *I'M STILL HERE*
with the thermostat closed it wont circulate thru the engine. next time put it in place of the heater core.
water is hot but oil is still cold ,that is why it started as it is cold engine
Acually, Formula 1 does this to start the engine at working temp. The issue i feel is that the gas tank in the back is still a frozen sludge XD
There is betrer way it has been used for long time its the heater inside oil pan it looks like water heater and its connected to 220volt
i would heat the oil rather than the water maybe...?
Lada with a hydraulically deployable tank track in the middle.
drive off road, get stuck, deploy, get unstuck
drive through mud and snow
The problem is the battery losing power due to the cold. How about making some type of charging device out of an old alternator that’s spun using firewood as the fuel?
Great! Make a 5 stroke engine out of a 4 stroke one
-40?
the only time on a thermastat that Celcius and Ferinheit shake hands and agree that it's cold af because -40C is -40F
but I've been out in that kind of temps here in canada. I feel for ya.
I am surprised you just didn't put hot coals under the engine or on the block. The car hood could trap heat in the engine area. Or just have a fire pit under the car or have it next to a rocket stove in the engine area or under the block.
Actually the one thing you are missing is a ball valve, similar to what is on all coffee makers.
A pan of charcoal sat under the engine would probably be less explodey, but I guess that's more likely to cook engine oil if not done right, and at worse, cook the whole car if something catastrophic happened... :P
I just got a crazy idea if you haven't already done it, make an engine that runs on coal and I don't mean as fuel, that'd be crazy
Try running the engine off wood vapor. I heard this was done while there were fuel shortages during the world wars.
I would have thought the rad cap would let off the pressure, but maybe the sparkplug used as a hose plug did not allow it.
Just a thought for a future experiment, l have seen videos where a truck was running on Fire wood!? It's can work, l first experienced this when someone said they saw a truck in North Korea running on wood, they use the exhaust gases from the fire....bit like what you did in the exhaust gas recycling experiment.

Be great experiment for Garage 54 as l know you be crazy enough to try n a Lada can run on hope alone as we all know 🤣.
Good channel guys always entertaining 👍
They did that a few years ago.
It isa boiler that uses natural convection.
I am curious as to why the radiator cap didn’t release the pressure, could it have been frozen closed?
How about making a plug in adapter to another vehicle that is already warmed up, and can share its hot coolant with the freezing car.
I was shocked when I bought a new VW in 2010, the heater produces heat within mere SECONDS of starting car in cold weather.
It probably has an auxiliary electric heater. Toyota is another brand I know of that uses one also.
Like Averna said, the driver side has its own heater core and an aux electric heater to help defrost the drivers side faster and creature comfort as a bonus.
Are you saying "hey there fellows" in the beginning? It's so fast it sounds like nothing! Please answer thanks.
Needs vodka injection, something akin to an afterburner :D

Just another day in Siberia.
Akh, utrenniy les. Kakoy sposob nachat'.
Make a used oil burner/stove preheater.
I think the thermostat was stuck shut and thats why it blew
The "107 percent success rate", is that a reference to the turnout during a certain election?
add a way to warm the oil
Minus 30°C? Crazy
heat rises would of had better circulation with hot in bottom and cold out the top....
Need some quick releases.
If you gonna heat it on wood, why not make wood gas and run it on wood.
They already did that!
@@UberLummoxyep, already done a few years ago!
@@UberLummox send link
let us see if the engine of the Lada can run on gas made heating charcoal\wood\old shoes in a "gas producer"
