I really think the back doors should pop open as well. It would look hilarious!
Suicide style too!
One rear door did open on it's own during the experiment
Lol might as well open the hood as well 😂
Guessing too much air pressure popped the back door open! 🤣
@@Eduardo_Espinoza and the back window...
being a mechanic at your place must be such a creative experience
These guys are effing insane but it's great 🤣
You guys have done pretty-much everything.
however,walking through all this snow today, I was thinking the one thing I'm certain you haven't done is to turn a Lada into a snowmobile, of snow-do. I mean complete with cutting the roof off, and a bench seat, like a snowmobile.
tracks on the back, skies in the front, the whole deal.
That's fabulous....
thinking of you guys all day!!
You are too late = D Should check their russian channel where they are "ahead"...
They did that to a Ural motorcycle.
HOW ABOUT an ejection seat,,James Bond style.We will call this glorious achievement a "mother in law seat".(you are 1/2 way there w/ the roof as it is)
Very good.. also improved seat with real parachute 😉🪂🪂🪂
That's a really creative name!
MythBusters did that. A crash test dummy would be a lot safer than a human test subject.
@@android584 DO U HAVE A MOTHER IN LAW???ex,,,,,,,actly,,,,,,
When babushka gets annoying...
Oh my goodness, I laughed out loud every time you popped the goofy roof up at speed. Love you guys and thank you for the laughs so much.
Now that you have a proper pneumatic system in a Lada, you might want to modify the brakes to work with pressurised air as well. Like in trucks! Super easy and inexpensive to do for drum brakes!
that's not easy to make, truck / train brakes work in reverse.
air pressure releases them, no air locks them.
you need a brake pedal and system from a truck.
some light commercial truck have a dual system for the hydraulic front disk brakes, but the backside of the system is "reversed" air.
be nice if they tried to make a magnetic braking system ,have magnets on the brake discs instead ,isnt it eddy current brake ?
@@girlsdrinkfeck now thats interesting unlike my idea using wood
@@AnalogDude_ Actually that is only true for the parking brake. If you use the foot brake in a truck for example it will use air preassure to activate thr brakes. The air gets released when taking your foot off the brake, you can hear that. However you are correct regarding the parking brake. That is because if there is a leak or not enough air in the system the truck won't just roll away.
@@AnalogDude_ Exactly as Jayplexy pointed out before me. Only parking brake works in reverse, which is to stop truck from moving in case of a major leak and/or lack of air pressure in system. In its simplest form a brake pedal is just a valve which lets air in the brake cylinders. More pressure meaning more braking force.
I would simply LOVE to buy a bunch of Garage 54 clothing merch and show up at their shop and surprise them. I know they really wouldn't care but I think it would be a blast, especially if I could drop an idea on them and work with them on it. That would be a blast for me. lol
I love at @11:30 where the rear door swings open and then shuts with no comment.
BMI Russian Thank you for your service! and
Garage 54 for making great videos!
Happy to serve ;)
LOL , that was a lada fun !
In this case Vlad, try next with all opening doors too.. It will help even more 😉
You need suicide doors.
I actually suggested this back in November when they tried stopping the car by dropping an anchor :D
The video was under the name "We try stopping a car with an anchor - will it work?"
once again... holy crap guys... never clickbait, never a lie.
There's nothing more brutal than Lada with kickdown. 💪 You do half cluch and drop 4th to the 2nd an show some eyetooth.
They should have put "limiting straps" on it to help prevent the end result
Why would you try to prevent the end result ?
@@French20cent im confused as to what youre asking, why would you want it to flop all the way back flat to where it was no longer acting as a air brake
Airbrake effectiveness is a function of drag, which increases with the square of airspeed, double the airspeed and the drag (therefore airbrake brake effectiveness) increases 4X
You can also increase the angle of attack of your brake and that will also increase the effectiveness of said airbrake
√69 also increases effectiveness
Did you really think these guys were serious and working on a prototype for possible market launch? Did you really?
@@paulparoma no, I just thought a basic explanation would be useful if they ever want to do a part 2
@@mwbgaming28 I think they know what they are doing. It's entertainment, first and foremost, not exact science. Enjoy a little humor.
"Did that improve the aerodynamics?" That was funny
The windshield is pushing air up into the bubble space created by the roof lid being open. It's the same thing as a Pick Up Truck, which gets better gas mileage and less drag, with the tail gate UP, instead of down. On a pick up truck, with the tail gate down, it creates MORE drag, as the cushion of air that was trapped in the bed, is gone. It works like an air ball bearing. Try welding up an inner frame support, and flip the hinge to the windshield, and increase the angle of deflection to 45~50 degrees. That would work better as an air brake.
@Not Name Yet ?
@Not Name Yet no you
Looks like we have Wilmer valderama in here
@Not Name Yet Banana
Needed a travel limit stop on the roof.
Ironically, Mercedes used a similar (if less crude, lol) device with the 300 SLR at LeMans in 1955. There are pictures of this being employed on the Mulsanne straight. Yes, one of these cars was the one driven by Leveigh and involved in the horrible accident.
Yeah that accident was the most horrible of all
Great video! That said, you might want to try this again with the roof opening the other direction. You'll still get lots of drag, but the roof won't fly off. Maybe have the doors open also, for extra drag.
I was absolutely not expecting the roof to fly off. Yeah, right. We all knew what would happen.
wow guys good ideas every time👍 keep up the amazing work😃
Excellent idea. Every car should have that as standard. Good in the rain and snow, too.
Frame work inside roof panel defo 👌 and that's a winner lol good idea in a hot country rapid air con
this man is single-handedly creating better value in collectors market of used surviving stock Ladas in ~25 years...
... if there are any left...
... that did not biodegrade.
Versus all the owners who take their cars directly to a scrapyard for disassembly?
you should make the lada as aerodynamic as possible you know make it like a ball!
Super aerodynamic lada, tear drop it, smooth the underneath then create smooth perspex rounded windscreen.
You guys are crazy 😆
you should have put material sides on it to create more drag and give it more strength, so it doesn’t pop off again 😂😂
Great work 👍
Yea thats what I was thinking, it would trap the air, so it's more like a parachute.
That moment at 3:42 made me laugh out so loud LOL The Lowrider Lada did some tricks (or Lowroofer maybe?)
Use a canvas tarp folded on the inside edges of the roof to capture the air better. Like opening a parachute.
Open the the wing facing the other way because on a hypercar the spoiler is meant to also increase downforce where friction with the ground increases deceleration
I love these Garage 54 guys!
I love the Datsun 510 looking car & the idea! 👍🏻
Drag is exponential with speed. It makes sense that it was more evident at higher speeds.
Idea for a new video: Make a lada cabrio, with working roof mechanism
👌😂👍I think it would work way better if you guy’s also make the doors and trunk pop open too! I had a feeling that was gonna happen!😂
Man every time i think i have a great novel idea these guys done it.
Love what you guys do. Let some of your employees drive some time and test stuff.
Well that's the russian definition of low rider 🤣
Wow what an experiment to try in such cold weather
Yes, another insane one!
It's like a comedy car with panels that all flap about like they were in a cartoon or something... :P
This is fun for a Taxi Driver! If the passengers in the back seat are 'doing more than kissing', you can 'cool them down' very efficiently. Hahaha!
How much downforce is needed to fully compress the suspension at 60km/h?
"Wings everywhere at 45 degree angles", is what I picture. Like a crazy Pike's Peak Hillclimb vehicle.
If the wind is blowing in the right direction it would make a great sail in reverse.
The more I watch your vids, the more I appreciate you all!
@Not Name Yet OK....
@Not Name Yet My mother is dead.
everyone in america is watching garage 54 with the tshirts on, an 68 percent of russian population watching ppl america youtube... its strange how everyone in the world like the same things... all the way from baton rouge la usa to Novosibirsk ru!! keep up the good work... we are having a party at my house an we all watching your show!
You need to reinforce the roof and have it open completely at a 90 degree angle. It has to be able to withstand a lot of wind energy.
Garage54 is what peak internet looks like.
On airplane wings they are called "speed brakes." They distort the air flow over the wing causing air drag. Same principle.
Should have placed a piano hinge on the back side of the cut roof
10:55 "Max. Autobrake" :-D
You should've added some steel cord to the front, to stop the roof from folding on itself
Thumbs up for BMIRussian!!
best way of doing it would probably be a big plate at the back, hinged at the top of the back window
when down it would make your Lada a fastback
then you pull it up until it stands upright
that way you get downforce in addition to drag, and if it fails it just goes back to its low position instead of getting ripped off
The coefficient of drag squares with speed. For example: If you double the speed, drag quadruples. If you triple the speed, drag is increased 9 fold.
Yes i mean, the air starts to be a problem at high speeds, i would say 100kph or above, but at 40kph the weight of the car is too much for any device to be effective
Definitely worth a revisit with some more rigidity and support
Go LADA. After all keep it as a LADA top camper instead like brakes. I enjoyed you video. You forgot to get a space suits for that cold
madman didnt even put on helmet while the huge chunk of metal is violently whipping around right above his head
"Modification of this car must continue" truer words have never been spoken. Maybe if the roof or doors opened out to 90 degrees. Keep going and make it into a convertible or retractable top.
I'm inspired by your efforts to engineer a vehicle for maximum safety with redundant deceleration technologies!
I also enjoyed (in another of your superb videos) your engine block anchor method for supplementary braking in the case of standard brake failure. All of these are excellent ideas! I'm so glad that automotive researchers such as yourselves are so serious about safety!
I had a related idea that I think you may wish to investigate. In the frightening case of conventional brake failure, rather than dropping an engine block out of the rear of the vehicle, why not engineer a mechanism that would drop an engine block in front of both of the front tires? My instincts suggest to me that this method may result in a reduced stopping distance - a clear advantage from the standpoint of safety.
Obviously there's no way to know how well this will work without experimentation and road testing.
LMFAO I ain't laughed like that in a hot minute 🤣
LMAO you all crack me up Love it keep it up!
You guys are a lot of fun..this is science
how about using the drive shaft & or the axle gear housing to convert a car into a chronograph watch with the Time & month & day & the moon phase
You might try attach a mast and raise a spinnaker to get some more airbraking
great experiment :)
I'm curious why that didn't work more. I can only assume that you increased the down-force more than the stopping force. The car has too much energy built up due to its weight and low rolling resistance to be slowed that much. But I bet the downward forces we're significant if they could be measured. I think we learned more about downforce than we did air brakes. Very cool!
I know it sounds weird, but it might have been more effective if the "airbrake" opened in the opposite direction. Not only more structurally sound, but aerodynamically the induced drag from the partial vacuum behind the car would probably be as, or more effective. Think about a pickup truck with an "Airgate" or missing any tailgate. Mythbusters did an episode about it once. The area rule still applies when you aren't in an airplane.
Agreed. I'd have limited it to only the rear half of the roof, hinged at a reinforced bar between the B pillars. Should be able to open it near vertical, and a bit of bracing on the roof panel wouldn't hurt either...
Yooooo! Make a diy jake brake!!! Like what they use on 18 wheelerez!!! That would be awesome!
You guys are proper mint
Only need to be half that size as you will never hold it done that was funny 😁 😂
I would think the rear doors opening would do more, maybe the trunk too.
Good work
Get some more actuators and make the hood and doors open at the same time as the top
Now with the roof off you can turn it into a lada convertible
We would love it if Vlad would record a message to his fans in North America!
And not the rest of the English speaking World?
Add 2 lotto enjoins side by side like a tractor pull.
You haven't put a jet engine in a Lada yet. What's the delay ?......😁
Almost FEISAR™ airbrakes system ;)
Garage 54 next month: "Making ogi-fan-style folding doors."
"Properly engineered" LOL
Solid!
Top KEK!🤣
Well now you know the Kids here in the U.S. are going to try this, would feel good in the summer!
should of just attached another roof ontop of another lada that has a release with a distance stopper so it wont flip over the trunk and it just stays up even at low speeds. then attach very thick fabric to sides of both roofs so the roofs act as a scoop when it lifts because the air was escaping your cabin of lada, also the air had so much space to fill to Actually even attemt to slow car thats why is only did ok.
Try a ram air brake so it opens from the back in to the oncoming air
you guys should make a vip transporter. vlad you need a recliner and a foot spa in the back of a lada hahaha
I've always been curious to know if you can successfully keep an engine lubricated with other kinds of oil. Like cooking oil for example.
@@irgant that wouldn't really qualify as "successfully keeping an engine lubricated" lol.
This looks handy for taco Tuesday
plastic attached to the roof on the sides so it makes more of a net?
What video is the office chair cylinder suspension?
Build a snow blower using one of those engines you've been expermenting with.
Lol what can't you do to a Lada! Such a cool car
What about adding a cable to the front of the air brake to the car to help hold it in place
Um... I think the air brake is to create more downforce for the rear so it brakes more evenly (less nose dive), therefore more effectively.
Use the doors and bonnet as well at 90 degrees
Maybe try and make the roof tip towards the front, and boom, you got yourself a nice wing
Citroen actually had a airbrake as on option on the old DS. It was used to slow down rather than to stop.
always fun
That are brake years is not going to last one second but anyway I'm glad to see you're doing okay and everybody else is doing okay keep making videos and we'll keep watching on thank you again
You should try air take with doors open too xD
Love the translation - BAAAARRRGHHH = I was still accelerating
