a solenoid valve might be timed for best velocity shortest burst to conserve air, or a smaller tank to build pressure faster, or both. starting fluid could be detonated as a propellant, a little more dangerous but we used Aqua-Net hair spray with ABS pipe and a BBQ "spark unit" for home made spud cannons back when.
I hope G54 are safe as well. Hopefully the greedy, crazy 70 year old politician over there in Moscow doesn't shut down Garage 54 because of their European, and American viewer base like me. Well hey, we have gone through three crazy politicians in the US in a decade.

It doesn't seem nearly as powerful as the aerosol can powered pvc pipe potato guns we made. Happened to be perfect size to shoot tennis balls- but powerful enough to shoot a tennis ball through the back window of a Valiant ute at 20 metres.
How many layers of tint can you put on a window? How many tint layers to protect it from cue ball! Also which tint is stronger. Regular tint or ceramic tint?
Just a suggestion, but it might have been better if you had taken your air outlet tangentially from the top edge of the air receiver. That would give you faster, and more powerful scavenging of the air. It would also have given you somewhere to mount an adjustable backsight for better aiming of the canon.
We use these in the shop to mount tires (Cheetah) and it's the same set up as they have here. It's so much pressure, whatever's in that tube comes out with serious force. It's long gone by the time any more air comes out. SWIM used to shoot handfuls of roasted peanuts out of the tire cheetah (had a large can sitting around) at garage doors and they just stick and turn to powder.
10x layers window film would be curious to see if it could reinforce it enough to bounce the ball off it I've always wondered this myself when I did window tinting haha
Can’t wait to get into “ War” with “ The Russians “ we take our ancient Dutch Daf with Variomatic Transmission and prepare a catapult ( катапульта) on it :)
Idea: Fit a big air compressor tank the intake of the engine. When you flick a switch on the dashboard, Instead of a suction stroke there is a compressed air stroke straight from the compressed air tank. Just before the end of the stroke a Y valve flicks over and lets the air out of the cylinder through the same intake manifold that it came from. This is so that you don't end up with some stupid compression ratio. You will need an additional camshaft to make it work. Fit injectors and now you have an engine that can do alternating hot and cold power strokes when you need to pass that Lamborghini with your lada.
Old school safety glass was two pieces of glass with plastic sandwiched between them. You might be able to replicate that at the shop. You could also take one of the side windows and try to laminate it your selves.
I never understood why potato cannons were illegal in a lot of places until I heard about a local kid who got shot in the lower back with one. He's now in a wheelchair for the rest of his life paralyzed from the waist down. You wouldn't really think a potato could do that but potatos are strong
Exactly mate. We built a propane powered one with a 2.5 inch diameter barrel. Proper job, tig welded stainless steel. It could send a potato thru a wooden fire door at 20 feet, leaving a perfectly round hole like a holesaw. It was a good laugh but dangerous. The best ammo was a turnip.

in a field... if those are good seeds in the tomatoes, there will be a plant growing every where one squishes into the ground... like all plants should, come up on there own with no assisted effort.
I have an idea- try to make a hydraulic crusher on a Lada. Maybe like a garbage truck. Try to run it from the AC compressor or something if you have one with AC, you can figure it out you’re smarter than me
They wouldn't be using anywhere near the original working pressure of the tank. You could tell pressures are low by the trajectory shown of the first shot. Probably under 100psi. A longer barrel would have gotten them a better velocity considering the air tank size without increasing pressure.
I used to make something simular with old small propane torch tanks. I would get a drill and drill out the valve in the neck of the tank and open it up. Then you drill a hole in the bottom of the tank. Then you drop a tire valve stem threw the open neck so it drops inside the tank. You take needle nose pliers shacking around the valve stem until it drops threw the hole you drilled into the bottom and pull it all the way threw until it seats on the hole like on a car rim. Then you get a water on/off valve that screws onto the top and the desired size pipe to fit the valve. modify the tank so it's like a stock so you can aim it like a rifle. I used a pipe so i could slide 50 cal. muzzeloader balls down the barrel pipe. you can add a pressure gauge if you like. You take a bicycle pump and attach to valve stem and pressurize the tank. Load barrel. then aim it at what ever you like and then turn the on/off water valve to 'on' to fire. I used to shoot 50 cal, muzzeloader balls threw two sheets of plywood no problem. It is more powerful when you use the bullet with a sabot because it has a nice tight seal. You can even slide arrows down the barrel and they go threw anything.
Also bullet proof glass would be nice targets Also I know Alon Glass or as it is from star trek as transparent aluminum. That stuff is way harder and more fun at a fraction of the thickness.
oh also how can you make the air pressure reload more quickly or maybe release less air, only enough to Launch the projectile, but not dump so much air, that way it can reload more quickly. or maybe fire more than one shot in less time.
This new Russian Tank Commander game looks pretty realistic. Hopefully the good tanks aren't behind a paywall and you aren't stuck with this with the ball bearing upgrade mod.
Need a speed gun to track the speed to go through a door 🚪. Maybe 7 to 8 atmospheres if you can do it safely with the ball?? It might need a bit more below the safety bar.
Better make a disk gun, Based on two rubber disks which is moving fast, so, when you push some shell\snip it will be spitted away with a really good speed \ propulsion. Good luck guys.
definitely thumbs up for that one!! That was awesome!! Question though, what stops the pressure in the tank from becoming too high and exploding the tank? This might be worth a second look. Very dangerous with it in his lap like that.
Amazing how they keep coming up with fresh videos.
Yeah many years old too:)
They are russian. Nothing more to say 😂.
And majority of the videos are based on ladas 😂
@@ashernelson9704 crazy engine builds around some of these ladas
im glad they're all still doing well considering the current circumstances

When you want to go to war but money for equipment is scarce. 🤣
This is one of the greatest Garage 54 videos! Looks like it was a hell of a lot of fun.
To all conscripts: you must from now on also bring your own artillery.
G54: OK 😎
Something like this to be followed th-cam.com/video/S7Ta7G9tSbs/w-d-xo.html

Ahaahah now weld some armor and load with some napalm grenades and go:)
Russian military: I'll take your entire stock!
That paper around the ball is called wadding. You guys are nuts and I love it.
One of your best videos! The way you set that Lada up was PERFECT. And that was THEE perfect "truck" for it as well!!!
That's called a "ute".
@@rossbrumby1957 short for utility.
I wouldn't be surprised if we would see something like that now in the war xD
Use a smaller air tank.. faster to get pressure and can hold it without struggling
Quicker release valve too
LOL you guys never miss, literally 😂
Mad Vlad: Fury Lada
Good thing they haven’t taken your young guys for war yet glad your still around to make these videos

You guys are my favorite Russian channel and are so underrated! I hope everything is going good with everything going on heads high bois!!
"Now obviously we won't be shooting pool balls at a car with someone inside.."
Ahh man. I was excited.
Do this but cut the engine in half and use one side as a compressor pump and the other side as an actual engine
It doesn't seem nearly as powerful as the aerosol can powered pvc pipe potato guns we made. Happened to be perfect size to shoot tennis balls- but powerful enough to shoot a tennis ball through the back window of a Valiant ute at 20 metres.
It's like looking behind the scenes of Putin's military r&D department
I sure as heck don’t want to be hit with a pool ball shot out of a cannon.
Hello vlad, it’s vlad putin here. Can I order 10,000 of your cannons please.
Watch out HIMARS! Here we come!
Connect the exhaust pipe to the air cylinder and see how long it takes for the engine to stall
How many layers of tint can you put on a window?
How many tint layers to protect it from cue ball!
Also which tint is stronger. Regular tint or ceramic tint?
Make an engine run backwards, carb on the exhaust and muffler intake.
Make the wheel cut up French Fries into a fryer while driving with the same oil that does the frying....
If you want crazy ideas there you go...
Just a suggestion, but it might have been better if you had taken your air outlet tangentially from the top edge of the air receiver. That would give you faster, and more powerful scavenging of the air. It would also have given you somewhere to mount an adjustable backsight for better aiming of the canon.
Piston valve or a DFTV would do even more.
We use these in the shop to mount tires (Cheetah) and it's the same set up as they have here. It's so much pressure, whatever's in that tube comes out with serious force. It's long gone by the time any more air comes out. SWIM used to shoot handfuls of roasted peanuts out of the tire cheetah (had a large can sitting around) at garage doors and they just stick and turn to powder.
It would be best to use spring to open valve and it would be held by some kind of trigger to release it instantly.
use tennis balls at a car being driven
I am still waiting on the LADA SUBMARINE!!!
10x layers window film would be curious to see if it could reinforce it enough to bounce the ball off it I've always wondered this myself when I did window tinting haha
This channel is so much fun! 😁
Man if we were at war I'd refuse to engage these guys they're cool af.
The one in the gauges was pretty cool . Loved the whole video as always tho
This is one where I wish the Slow Mo Guys could've been there to get some epic slow motion video of the balls hitting the car.
Nah watch this this is 1000 beter.

Old school safety glass was two pieces of glass with plastic sandwiched between them. You might be able to replicate that at the shop. You could also take one of the side windows and try to laminate it your selves.
Did you put some sort of pressure regulator on it? Seems to me that if that tank became overpressurized it would be a very bad day.
What's the fun in that ?
@@French20cent Well, I mean if they die then there will be no more videos....
Careful guys, Putin will see this idea and will hire you to do an entire batallaion of these. lol

If you ever shot a potato gun at a sheet of corrugated roofing, you'd see immediately the power they have.

You can make it even more powerful by freezing the potato.
I wish I had a shop teacher like this guy back in school dazs.
Best zombie set up i've seen in awhile. lol I big hello from Florida.
Use of electronic sprinkler valve will speed up release pressure
Feed it from a cylinder spark plug hole and move the plug to the tank. Anti lag spud cannon/ultimate key bang/pop.
A lada turned into technical, nice!!
Nice simple design for the breech
Some wierd censorship going on.
👌😂👍Damn! That’s thing worked like a charm! One of the greatest experiments you guy’s have done so far!👋😂👍

@16:30 The pool ball went through the window, and bounced off the steering wheel to bury itself in the instrument cluster.
Thats is just to confirm that Ladas are TANKS.

SUGGESTION: stich two engines together to make opposed piston engine
This new Russian Tank Commander game looks pretty realistic. Hopefully the good tanks aren't behind a paywall and you aren't stuck with this with the ball bearing upgrade mod.
upgrade it to launch mortar shells XD
Make lever for the valve shorter with a linkage or two so you can open it along faster

Need a speed gun to track the speed to go through a door 🚪. Maybe 7 to 8 atmospheres if you can do it safely with the ball?? It might need a bit more below the safety bar.

Spud gun technical-lada. Nice
The best use for a tomato ever!
will we see this in the front?
Do a diy cut out valve
Welp I know what to do when the neighbor parks in front of my driveway
Awesome Video. I loooove it. Thanks For Sharing.
Tank should be 1/3 smaller for faster recharge
Do something to convert car exhaust to vacuum cleaner
You made a bead blaster...
Edit 2:Can you load 3 balls for shotgun effect?:)
They should bring a Lada to the US and collaborate with Whistlin Diesel to see how durable a Lada really is...
Dont think we would want to stand in the way of the pool ball. Make the glass bullet proof. Try it.😁
Thats some scatchy content during times like this
I'm sure we will be ok ...don't think potatoes do that much damage 😂..ps just watched the vid and pool balls could sting a little 😂
You're over thinking it.

Better than pumpkin chunkin. 😂
What about an engine with mirror-polishing internals? like ports, cylinders and even pistons? 🤔
So the smoke, fuel and oil don't stick...
That was awesome!!
This should be a Olympic sports !!
