Heck yeah bro, the device worked well, and Garage 54 did a great demo of how cars absorb bumps and stuff. It would be even more friggin' epic if they broke the glass piston itself. :) Imagine the oil spewing out out at 90 psi (6 bar) or whatever the air or oil pressure is. I'm a man, we like when stuff fails*, as long as it isn't our own. That would add to the "shock" value, pun intended. *Disclaimer: Only in televised series or YT videos.
The air gap solution is basically like the spheres in Citroen hydraulic suspension (or the British Leyland Hydragas suspension), but there's an experiment for you, DIY hydraulic suspension, whether like the Citroen hydraulic system where you can raise and lower the car, or BL's Hydragas "set & forget" setup, retrofitting them to something that lives its' life on coil or leafsprings would be a fun test to see the difference... :P
@@Cheeky-Biscuit They probably could have, but as with all things experimental, it was never going to be a perfect design, plus they were trying to keep the oil as air free as possible so that it looked good on camera being all clear, thus separating the two sections... :)
@@Cheeky-Biscuit The rod changes the volume inside the main cylinder so that wouldn't work. Their solution is how some normal shocks work. Cheaper shocks will sometimes just allow an air pocket within the shock. Expensive shocks have an extra little reservoir to contain the pressurized gas.
You guys are the greatest it gives people with no mechanical background an insight to how these things work. Its also fantastic experience for the young mechanics ,they are terrific. Keep up the good work and warmest greatings to you all from Melbourne Australia.
But they have just did a gas spring. Real shock has some valves in the piston, oil is pumped via orifice (there is your source of heating). And almost 100% fill is a mistake.
As someone who builds aftermarket shocks for a living, I appreciate this video so much 😂😂😂❤❤❤ Edit: @7:30 the term for that is "cavitation" and can happen even when no air is present. When the air rushes through the piston, it created areas of extremely low pressure along the trailing edge of the holes. It's such low pressure that it makes the fluid turn to it's gas form.
Very cool. The shaft displacing oil is an aspect I wouldn't have considered. Now I know why the small diaphragm was necessary in the RC car shocks we built back when I was younger. And also I understand why more air pressure stiffens the forks on a dirt bike. I couldn't understand it before, since the air isn't acting on the shock piston with a bypass hole in it. The air disapating in the oil is cavitation.
Dirt bikes have air springs which indeed are acting on the stanchions. This is not the same setup, the springs on this car you can see behind the shock. EDIT: i am an idiot motorcycles dont usually use airsprings.
@@Christophe_L no. They have coil springs in the front forks. The increase in pressure is reducing cavitation to stifen damping. It doesn't raise ride height like Increasing spring rate would.
@@jasonbirch1182 While a lot of road bikes have coil springs, most dirt bikes have airsprung forks. But it could be the case that your bike in particular had a coil fork in which case I fucked up :) EDIT: nope, motorcycles dont usually use airsprings.
@@Christophe_L I'm not aware of any air sprung forks. The newest set I have is off a 200(?) yzf426 so maybe some newer bikes are, but I don't think that you are correct. Edit. After doing some quick research, you are not correct. There are some air sprung forks available but not factory stuff. It's experimental high end race motorcross damper builders trying air. They aren't practical for many reasons. Leaks, condensation from refilling with moist air. Heat rapidly affecting pressure. Non linear spring rate as compression increases. Springs are great. They just are a little heavy. So they keep trying to make air work.
@@jasonbirch1182 You are indeed correct and I apologise and self-flagelate profusely. I will edit my comments to reflect this.

Excellent work. I am very impressed. I would love to see four of those on a lifted offroad vehicle. Now that I have seen such good results I am sure this type of setup could work on a rock crawler type of vehicle.

Hi. Panther bodies are very rare in Russia. There are some, but you definitely don't see them every day. I know Moscow police used a few all the way until the mid 2000's (I remember seeing them around when I was in college), can't remember when they were retired.

It would be interesting to see all the shock's like that one and test it with speed and hard cornering and braking to see if it's better than conventional shocks.👍💚💛❤️
This is exactly how an IFP (internal floating piston) shock works except that there are flexible washers/ shims in the main piston that also control oil flow for compression and rebound. The fluid cavitation doesn’t allow the shock to dampen as well so nitrogen pressure is added to the IFP chamber and the result is very well portrayed in this video. Excellent job and video!
so why you dont use air shock, no bubbling, air does not need to be sealed in tightly, it can be leaky, both ways. try a air shock section airless wheel, where the air can be squeezed out and back in, around the rolling cycle, just like a leaky air shock.
the foaming you can observe in short instances while the shock is compressing is not air. It is vacuum bubbles cavetating. Explanation: While compressing at higher speed the orifice in the plunger makes so much resistance that instead of keeping up the flowrate for the movement, the air camber is compressed. While this happens the increase of volume in the upper chamber is more then the volume of the oil entering, developing a strong vacuum. The missing volume is filled up with vacuum bubbles, and the disappear they instance the vacuum disappears.
Yes. I'm sure you know, but let me utter a response here, for others to see: The flowrate that's enough to reach vacuum in that improvised piston design is relatively low, because they didn't include shim stacks. In a fixed size hole, the dependency of pressure on flow rate, is a square (if not some uglier power). It's not linear. In order to make their design work without the complexity of shim stacks, they = the authors of this educational prank, needed to make the piston holes relatively small, to get some damping effect during moderate piston movement speed range. Thus, they got spanked by the square, at flow rates that in fact were not so very high. The dynamic resistance got so high that it pulled pure vacuum behind the piston, even against the counter-pressure from the "compensation bubble behind the floating piston". With shim stacks, you make the holes in the piston larger, and at low flow rates, the shims add more resistance. At higher flow rates, the degressive shim stacks open more, thus alleviating the "square" in a fixed-size hole / emulating a "synthetic piston hole with a variable cross-section". The shim stacks thus "linearize" the pressure vs. flow rate. Calculating and making the shim stacks, or repurposing some salvaged ones, would be complicated, and would muddy up the visual clarity of the basic principles in this demo-prank. So they just skipped the shim stacks. Thus only adding to educational value of this vid, IMO. If they had shim stacks in place, we wouldn't be able to enjoy the beautiful vaccum foaming effect.
Easiest way to purge the fluid from the shock was to put a bleeder such as a zerk fitting (grease fitting) onto the shock. Would have released the air as well as the extra fluid.
I think, with ALL the experiments you've done with the old Lada cars, you guys COULD make a kind of Lada RS Quattro, so to speak... ONE HELL of a FAST, NIMBLE WELL HANDLING resto mod Lada. ie, fully rebuilt, blue printed, ported polished, turbo (maybe even Supercharged) Lada motor, uprated clutch, upgraded suspension all round (multilink independent front and rear suspension), maybe even a 4WD, then upgrade the interior too?... 🤔😏😉👌 😎🇬🇧
@@irgant just checked it out.. Are you talking about the brown Lada they cut in half to make it a 2 door? If so, you're way off! I'm talking a PROPER tuned 4 door Lada as per my description.

THAT'S what I meant... ie, the VERY BEST and BEST performing/handling that a 'Traditional' Lada could be... 👍😏
Very interresting!. I thought the floating piston would have had more stroke tho!. What you did is a "De-Carbon" shock principle. They inflate the secondary chamber with Nitrogen tho, to keep the pressure more stable with temperature. The air that mysteriously appears is in fact Cavitation. It is BAD for a steady dampening action.
I always love watching these!!! So interesting the things that are thought up, and then you get to see it in action, that’s really cool love these!!!! Thank you for the time and info!!!
I'm not a pro in the business, but I remember spending several evenings looking for explanatory videos into how shocks work, while I was troubleshooting first the Mc-Pherson style struts on my Berlingo and then trying to understand the front and rear shocks on my MTB (including a disassembly of the front fork). *This* is easily the most instructive video in the whole of youtube, showing the action of the floating bottom piston above the gas bubble, which compensates piston rod volume coming in and out. Who cares that there are no shim stacks on the main piston. Legit educational material. Привет и лайк из Чехии :-)

Gedday from AUS. You should put Car, Motall the transpaent suff together. Over time make a car, motor block and all the rest. Make a Gaage54 transparent and"OTHER" vehicle! Cheers.
I would've taken some hose clamps or zip-ties and lined the tube every couple inches or so with it. Not so tight to disrupt the inner shock, but enough to support the pressure in the tube. Otherwise, this is fantastic and I love seeing this work. I thought the gas buffer at the bottom added a nice, high-performance touch. And the guy riding in the trunk, had the BEST seat in the car!
No, no, no! Please don’t wear gloves while using a drill press! One slip and you can be missing a finger or two. Seen it happen in real life and it was ugly. And if you don’t believe me, just look up the video of the guy from American Chopper that got his glove caught while using a drill press. He was lucky and he only needed a bunch of stitches, and didn’t lose his finger.
Can some explain why he can not push down the rod at the very beginning .He told because the rod is entering the tube and reducing its internal volume .But the tube volume seems doesn’t change . Is that something i miss? 🙏 BTW good video👍🏻
Wow! I think you have made another innovation to an auto industry, my first and only worry is if in case that glass tubing would be hit by a fast moving stone or anything solid like a nut or screws that are made of steel. Hmm. Maybe a wrapping of chicken wire with a clearance of about an inch from the glass tube would do the trick.
Durability test those things I want to see how they handle. I think they look kind of cool if you can make a sleek version that can actually fit a proper vehicle for show.
The glass pipe was long enough to not cause the piston to bend on high stress. You gotta make shorter ones and install on all 4 wheels and then go drive 120 km/h on some motorway...
the presentation is perfectly awesome bro, so that's how the internal parts of a suspension works, do this design emply on standard designs of shock absorbers or it is from the sports indicated design? the way i see the two pressure control settup is like for the extreme use like on sports vehicles
hahahaha glass shock absorber that is great. im surprised it didnt blow up, but im sure you were hoping that it wouldnt the whole time you were driving it!
That was sooooooo awesome. It is so friggin epic seeing how shocks works. Thanks soooo much for sharing this video with Us Garage 54.
This is NOT how a shock works. They've just did a gas spring. Real shock has some valves in the piston. And are not completely filled with oil.

how hot did the shock get? Shocks work by converting linear motion into heat to dispense the energy of the shocks.
But they have just did a gas spring. Real shock has some valves in the piston, oil is pumped via orifice (there is your source of heating). And almost 100% fill is a mistake.
That’s now how shocks work.. heat is a an unwanted byproduct. Watch the video again to see how shocks work.

You can compensate for the rod area by making the piston equal area which means making the rod go through both end caps instead of just one.

It looks like your Glass shock performs smoother than an old real one. Remind me of Hydrau-pneumatic in the Citroen.
That is not how shock absorbers work. That piston must have shim stacks for valving that controls movement.

The glass pipe was long enough to not cause the piston to bend on high stress. You gotta make shorter ones and install on all 4 wheels and then go drive 120 km/h on some motorway...
the presentation is perfectly awesome bro,
so that's how the internal parts of a suspension works,
do this design emply on standard designs of shock absorbers or it is from the sports indicated design?

The ubiquity of this misnomer is tragic. It’s called a damper.
Make a set of those, install LED lights, and put them up for sale, some show car builder would pay a lot for those!
fokkit that was epic! DAMN. And such a cool colour for the oil. Well done guys.
hahahaha glass shock absorber that is great. im surprised it didnt blow up, but im sure you were hoping that it wouldnt the whole time you were driving it!
