Tire Explosion

[Lindawatcher]

I wish my local greasemonkey was sitting over that rim when it blew up!

[hellzone100]

YEH BECAUSE MY rim is going to get welded and is going to HEAT UP THAT MUCH!!

[pedyusmc]

why the fuck would someone weld a rim with a tire on it in the first place? you have to be retarded for doing that. and thats what you get for being that dumb

[evolution3man]

We dnt get paid enuff to fit these!! So dangerous

[cobra5405]

LOL ROD HOLDER

[TheHolyMongolEmpire]

Im always afraid of this happening when Im filling up my tires lol

[giannis999999999]

yehey!!! lololol

[boiledhooker]

No sound?

[JL192com]

Flat tire, aaargh not again!

[howarethingsindenver]

hahahahahahaha, Rod holder, lol

[thumasta666]

i call bullshit!

[Aussie50]

@thumasta666 go try it and sit on top of the rim after welding :D

[nosajj12345]

I remember a news story out of Los angleles back in the early 90s where a guy decided to weld a mounted rim and when the tire blew it decapitated him.

[jacktheripped]

@nosajj12345 same thing happened here. my friend was at the tire shop when it happened. they warned the guy several times to take the core out, he said that he'd done it many times before. My friend left the room and BOOM!! took off the top of the dumbshit's head.

[TheMasterOfepicFails]

lol i was in school bus and the tire just explode it was epic

[ROCKSOLID19]

Those 4 people were killed instantly.

[ROCKSOLID19]

I known 4 people who overinflated tractor tyres and not small lawnmowers, serious combine harvester and massive Fendt and John Deere sized tyres. They are simply not to be trusted. Anyone who uses lighter fuel or combustable fluids are stupid, even though I did do that myself in emergencies.

[timrail]

SERIOUSlY!

[delrliang]

1200+ F? seriously?

[VREDFOX]

Chuck Norris uses truck tires a birthday poppers

[idk1234idk88]

i wish time warp would do this

[timrail]

I'm sorry to hear about your father. Be carefull to follow the instructions on the sealant can as many sealants use a combination of isobutane and propane as a propellent. This gas combination can be compressed to a much higher pressure for the purpose of partially reinflating a tire, besides sealing it.

[Oldgmlover]

Enter two cans of Patch-A Flat by Tradco Corp. And the rim went 300 yards after the rim hit my father in the head! He was not stupid, just following orders from his piece off shit boss, who would fire him if he did not follow an order.. He did remove the valve core, which probably gave the propellent oxygen. The cans of tire sealer were found hidiing behind the seat of the costumers truck After his death ALL tire sealant companies pulled the 80% propane fill cans off the market.

Mom got 0

[NativePrairieWolf]

@Oldgmlover What kind of morons thought it was a good idea to pressurize cans of anything with PROPANE instead of just AIR!!!

[Aussie50]

@NativePrairieWolf because if you used air you would run low on pressure long before you ran out of liquid to be dispensed.

[MrDjmix1]

LOL

[MATUXAZ]

only chuck norris can repair it....

[rocintrucker83021227]

That was cool. I learned two things. Don't weld on a rim with a tire on it and that a truck tire can hold almost 300 psi before blowing up

[scramblerluver]

y did it get hott?

[sferrari81]

WOW! In the last 4 seconds, the pressure rose 100psi and the temperature increased 1000 DEGREES. In FOUR SECONDS.

I bet it went even higher then the sensors recorded. The rate it was increasing, there must have been some lag.

Sweet.

[sferrari81]

When you say innerliner do you mean innertube? So you're saying that an innertube has just the right mix of fuel and oxidizer that it'll combust in a completely enclosed space? It's like an engine cylinder in a diesel engine where the piston is slowly compressing the fuel air mixture. As soon as it reaches a certain pressure it combusts? Or is it the rate of pressure change? Right at the end you could see both pressure and temp rising EXTREMELY fast.

Wow, super interesting. I want to know more.

[timrail]

@sferrari81 This was a tubeless tire. Think of the innerliner as a built in innertube. The chemical compounds in the innerlinner will combust inside the air cavity provided there is enough pressurized air to support combustion. A fire would start regardless, but go out after using up the air-if not for a sufficient air volume under pressure. It's simply a matter of heat, fuel and enough air. The combustion process is what builds the pressure.

[khaled6100]

SHIT !!!

[manosman97]

1264 F wow!!!!!!1

[timrail]

There seems to be no shortage of morons out there, especially if you know of someone welding on an acetylene tank.

[DRNEGOLICIS]

@timrail LMAO ier herd of dumb asses doing that ive also seen a guy do a 1 inch beed on a oxygen tank

[halosux4life]

@timrail IVE DONE THAT! :D

i welded over the holes of where the plugs that melt in the event of a fire!

but we were trying to turn it in to a massive ashtray

[dyackman]

That's almost as dumb as welding on an acetylene tank! I've seen it, with similar results.

[OnnomonnomonnO]

ooow fuck:D ...Im missing the sound...but great demostration anyway :P

[ruuman]

wow, thats a great demonstration, thanks

[projekt89130]

Holy crap!

[adaniels1000]

nothing a little duct tape can not fix.

[DeerDance990]

I think there's a hole in that tire!!!

[timrail]

There was no hole in the tire - before the explosion.

[eclipse10101]

i think that was sarcasim

[taylorromeo]

@timrail ORLY.

[Bottis]

How that's gangsta!

[simontist]

I don't quite understand... Why did the temperature continue to rise after the welding was over?  Was it a case of heat spreading from the centre towards the tyre area?

[timrail]

The heat of the weld started a fire inside the tire's air cavity, beginning in the bead area. The hydrocarbons and chlorine in the innerliner fueled the fire and the air inflation supported it. Note the large volume of black smoke.

[mule904]

@timrail

You're wrong. I've watched this happen to tires that are unseated and deflated. There's a process called Pyrolysis that the rubber will decompose producing heat, smiler to the detonation of an explosive.

[opferte]

Who would weld on a rim with an inflated tire on it?

[timrail]

A repair facility at a truck stop actually did this after discovering a leak at the center disc/rim interface. I did this to demonstrate the consequences of doing something this dumb. The plaintiff alledged the tire had a defective bead. Hopefully, this video may prevent someone else from doing the same thing.
