    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.

  • @ludditeneaderthal

    Foam filled tires are used on construction machines. You need 2 part catylitic foam, not the sealant. The 5 lb per cubic foot mix they use in boat hulls would probably work, but not the 2 lb "floatation" foam. A heavy equipment tire shop will have genuine tire fill foam, but the ride will be like solid wheels, lol. Great vid, results as I expected

  • @Flightstar
    @Flightstar 6 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    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.

    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.

      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.

  • @Slazlo-Brovnik
    @Slazlo-Brovnik 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did that once as a quick fix at a wheelbarrow. And it did not work: I used a whole can and it did not fill the tire properly although in theory it should be way enough.. I figured the reason is that construction foam is actually a 2 component material needing another component to cure, and that is water. Normal air humidity is usually enough. I am guessing that inside the closed tire there is not enough moisture to really cure all of the foam. Air humidity is used up and then the tire is more or less sealed and dry inside. So it does not expand as much you would normally expect and therefore does not fill the tire.
    I kinda knew that right from the start so I sprayed a bit of water in the tire first, but that did not help, maybe because it did not reach all areas.
    At least thats what I figured could be the cause.

    Problem tire? Why not try an inner tube? Incidentally is that foam really good for anything? I mean even for insulation, I think people like the fact that it increases in size and foams up and then dries like they've really accomplished something. Truth of the matter is it's not very good material and you're better off insulating by packing and fiberglass insulation or other types of popular insulation can foam is expensive and it really doesn't give you much. Maybe fun to play with like silly string or something like that. All good. Carpenters and mechanics know, canned foam is best to be avoided. MarkMannM2

    Would be good to see if there is someone able to make a good never flat solid tyre using a stronger foam. Obviously construction foam is not well suited to carrying the weight of a car, that's just far in excess of its compressive strength. But a foam that has sealed air bubbles in a matrix made of a strong silicone/vulcanized rubber like material is something that I can picture nailing it.

    Construction foam is made to be static and once cured, it's elasticity is limited. There are other high tech polymer foams that have better elasticity properties that don't fully cure that are less apt to chafe or self degrade in tires like this stuff. It's expensive and not found on store shelves. If all streets were perfectly flat and you never hit a bump or a pot hole, this foam would work to a limited degree at low speeds.
    In the end, one cannot beat run flat tires with off the shelf DIY solutions like construction foam. If one wants a run flat that will work well over 50-100 miles, buy a solid rubber tire, the solid rubber tire would eat caltrops or hollow road spikes and come back for more. Although you might need a chiropractor for the rough ride though :)

      There are forklift tires on the market which are filled with a rigid foam, they are very common on industrial forklifts. They have a similar springiness like air tires, but they have no air inside. Unfortunately they are very heavy, which doesn't matter on a forklift, but on a car where the springless mass should be as light as possible.

    • @ThomasAndersonbsf
      @ThomasAndersonbsf 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      true, however I am going for a much thinner tire that will need less mass or thickness to have the same springiness of a typical tire, so the weight might be more, but it will be a limited amount of weight, which due to their near invulnerability to road conditions, should allow for reducing car weight by removal of spare tires.
      additionally I am more interested in a tire that might last far longer and give better grip or nearly all surfaces, due to the factor that is giving it the extreme longevity, sort of like they guys that are using pecan shells I believe it was, crushed up and mixed into the rubber before forming the tires. The down side is mostly the view of those who would know what the substances are, but not take into account the size of my additive, making it, in their mind, capable of ruining roads, but in reality, only really doing light polishing even if peeled out with, and not something that could say cut a brushed textured tire groove in the road or indention. If one were to try this, with them, I would guess the tires would begin to soften and melt possibly sticking to the road long before a groove even 1mm deep was formed, so there should be zero chance of it damaging roads, but instead, due to the composition, it should bite through and remove oil and grease, flinging it off the road, keeping the road much cleaner and safer, if everyone were using them,
      although we might see less of this stuff if they went the full route I am heading, which is to produce an electric vehicle that expands on the natural phenomenon of self charging that capacitors do. while retaining a level of voltage topping, to avoid damaging things, I wont get any deeper into that, here, since this is a thread under a tire modification video, but I think it would along with say using this excess of power, that may be available, to run bearings that are electromagnetic in nature, avoiding most greases and oils and severely drop the pollution we see stuck to our roads, so the tire's ability to clean roads would not be needed if it were raised to the level that it would begin helping LOL

    A suggestion if you decide to try more experiments with foam, make a fitting that will screw onto the valvestem that has a shutoff valve, similar to the tools that HVAC technicians use to replace schrader valves. Attach the tire to a spinnable hub that's mounted on a bench. Pull the valvecore out of the tire's valve stem and vacuum-pump the tire down. Shut off the valve. Unhook the vacuum pump. Attach the sprayfoam to the shutoff valve. Align the tire so that the valve stem is at the top. Start spraying the foam as you open-up the shutoff valve. When you think that you have enough foam, stop spraying, disconnect and remove the shutoff valve, clean the valvestem inside, then reinstall the valve core. Then pressurize the tire with air and spin it with something for several hours while the foam hardens.
    Then test what happens when it gets punctured or slashed or otherwise compromised while pressurized.

    Mount the wheel on a wheel balancer add a couple of cans and then spin it up to put an even layer of foam inside the tyre. This should help evening it out and it might expand and dry a bit better.

    It takes at least 4 cans to fill a tire. It has to be done thru the valve stem and you have to drive around a bit to get it evened out.
