    Construction foam works very well if you aren't doing it to all four tires. My dad has been patching his tires this way for years. It works best if the air is completely gone from the tire and the foam is directly inserted into the air valve so that the rubber isn't cut and the foam has no way to come out.

    We used foam for filling voids in a radioactive landfill. It had (2) 5000 gallon tanks of A/B mixture. Our foam was 30 PSI so that heavy equipment could drive in the cell lifts as they where covered. They said construction foam is normally around 8-12 psi max. We had tons of fun with that gun. A 3second shot would produce enough foam to fill a 55 gallon drum when foam expanded. We filled tyvek suits and had them standing around like workers.

    Canned foam requires moisture (h20) from the atmosphere to cure. Inside a tire with that much foam, it will not cure properly, much of it will just stay sticky and goopy. The tire needs to be wetted in the inside in order to provide the required amount of water to react with the polyurethane. That being said I have found that even cured foam does not work in wheels, due to the fact that the foam has no flexibility when fully cured and is just crushed up and becomes useless.

      videoclipits- Thanks for saving me the time to point out cyanoacrylate insulation foams like this require water vapor to cure-
      I have used this type of insulating foam product to replace degraded floation foam in boats, learned the hard way to damp the cavity, only partially fill the desired area, allow first layer to cure, damp remaining volume again, fill some more... some of these repairs I did are now 10 years old and holding up well, but in a boat, they don't get squished like a tire!
      Gasoline will degrade/dissolve cyanoacrylates. If foaming new floation into bilge area of a power boat or other areas exposed to gasoline, you must protect the foam. Line the area to be filled with a heavy polypropylene (not dissolved by gasoline) plastic bag and fill the bag. Odd shapes, you can make your own liner bag from 4mil poly sheet and Tyvek insulation tape.

    The single pack spray foam kinda sucks for this job, I tried it some years ago and it partially cured and the rest actually lost its bubbles and turned back into liquid. what you want is a high density 2 pack system from 3M or similar company, I worked at Nylex Plastics for a few months making ice chests, and thats what we used to fill the voids, that stuff is VERY good. Mythbusters also used it on that airliner they blew up.

    I love the paint job on that thing! Although I would like to see them re-try this with some type of foam that cures anaerobically. I've tried to make a custom foam cushion for S&H on a transfer case. I just sprayed this stuff into a garbage sack, thinking that it would expand and conform to the inside of the box and the transfer case sitting in it, but it never cured, just turned to liquid. So this stuff either needs air to cure, or, as someone else noted, water. But they MUST make some type of foam that cures w/o air, because they have expanding foam packing in a bag that conforms to some irregular objects. That might be the stuff to use for the tire filling experiment.

    The problem with expanding foam is that once cured, if you deform it hard enough it doesnt return to its originally cured shape... So even if you successfully cure it, and you hit a rock or bump hard enough your tire will have a flat spot until you put actual air in it.

    Foam cures by reacting to the humidity in the air. Yes, requires water to get hard. That was why the foam outside the tire was hard but the foam inside was not. Also, foam is not rubber. It has very little ability to recover from being deformed.

    GREAT VIDEO! THat was highly entertaining! The Lada looks like a lot of fun to tinker with. I wish we had some over here in the US.
    So, what did you replace the wheels with? I think it would be a lot of fun to make wooden wheels, covered with leather. Maybe you could melt some old tire rubber, and fill the tires with that?

    • @algrayson8965
      @algrayson8965 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I remember run flat tires of decades ago. There was an outer ordinary tire and a smaller tire within. The wheel had two valve stems, one for the outer tire and one for the smaller emergency tire. A rubber-safe lubricant was in the space between the tires.
      Great idea if adding ten+ pounds to the unsprung weight of each wheel is good.

    Back in the 70's we sold 5 fertilizer tractors to the USSR. Tires taller than a man. We call them "Bigfoot" tires. They were in the middle of Moscow and couldn't find an air compressor. A Russian was going to use a hand pump until they found a road crew with an air compressor.

    the reason why it doesn't work is because air trapped in the foam is not pressurised. The tire looks in full shape but immediately goes flat as soon as load is applied. In this case load is supported just until the foam structure starts to break to dust.

  • @LordRustyMcAlpin

    Seems to me if you set the wheel/tire/foam can together somehow, right into a tire spinning balancing machine, the spray would be filling the tire at a more equal distribution. Then let cure, drive on slowly and repeat till the desired hardness is reached Then you might have a puncture proof tire, but not a blow out proof tire.
