Snowmobile from Ecorra on snow

[asssface2000]

if this is a success i'd really hate to see a failure

[slimtim61]

This comment is for Jaggeh33 cjflanaganyahoo StKetoiL and speedless73 and all other keyboard engineers,we already know you are the best ever at everything you do. Personally I think the best part of mouths like yourselfs rad down your mommas thighs asswipes. ThumbsUp MPgolfAM

[peeweet123]

i can imagine speedboats with propeller like that would become speedy boat xD

[cjflanaganyahoo]

Completely useless, ugly. I know you should try it in a deep lake I bet it will go great.

[otisspivey]

What an awesome design. Do you have a patent for that yet. I am going to steal your great ideas. NOT it's ugly and it doesn't work. If it did go forward how would you stop ??

[StKetoiL]

LOL FAIL!

[Speedless73]

you call this "successful"???

it seems to work properly only on plane surfaces, bad design.

[MPgolfAM]

Aerosaně byly postaveny na základě dochovaného exponátu v muzeu Tatra.

Bohužel jsou příliž těžké a jejich pohyb na sněhu je "těžkopádný", byl to je prototyp a taky to tak dopadlo.

Jinak majitel Aerosaní má v plánu s nimi jet na zasněžených pláních v USA.

Uvidíme, třeba bude mít lepší úspěch než my na svahu.

[Dave4626]

Moc jim to nejede:)

[MPgolfAM]

Aerosaně jsme dělali ve firmě ECORRA pro americké muzeum LANE MOTOR MUSEUM v Nashvillu.



[MPgolfAM]

Aerosaně – Tatra V855 Aerosaně byly řízeny dvěma páry lyží pomocí většího volantu. Pohyb byl umožňován tlačnou vrtulí a mechanický ovládán bubnem pomocí kardanové hřídele. Buben sloužil zároveň jako brzda. Ruční brzda působila na zadní lyži. Technické informace: Vyrobeno – 1 ks Motor – TATRA 87 /benzín/ Počet válců – 8 /OHC/ Obsah motoru – 2968 cm³ Výkon – 75 HP /55kW/ Chlazení – vzduchem Spotřeba – 13 l / 100 km Maximální rychlost – 80 km / hod.

[Jeerka]

Kde bych o tomhle mohl najít více informací?

[Jeerka]

Tatra Failmobile :( ...( I love Tatra )....

[keven977]

Omg i've got an heart attack !!, let's go to the urgences but heh.. we got stuck and now i'm dead :P

Seriously the design of that thing is really bad...

[rusted70chevy17]

My farts travel faster than that thing

[SmirVashemuDomu]

ХЕРНЯ

[terracethornhill]

Here are my recommendations:

1. Get rid of the stupid paddle wheel.

2. Give it about 500 hp.

3. Use a prop that can be feathered from forward to reverse while spinning in only one direction for brakes and reverse.

4. Post another video, this time with it climbing big hills and doing stunts.

[bullitt4796]

thats retarded , major design flaws everywhere

[WOLFSOFBREAD]

ow my god what a abortion that is!!!

[aduthie]

The propeller is for additional push, which I imagine might have been handy in looser snow. The vehicle was designed to traverse the steppes, not to climb mountains, but I imagine this was the only convenient snow at the time of year they needed to test the vehicle. (Which is a replica of a WWII vehicle, not newly-designed.)

I think it would make for a great "character" in Dead Snow 2, should they decide to film a sequel.

[libertyvill1]

good thing the propellar starts right up

[pnbliveca]

what is the propellar for

[the4halves]

if there weren't people in it i would've thought that was a toy, and i don't get the point of the fan...

[zeebov9]

I dont get it. How could you fail that bad on a sled design? HAHA we use those wheels mounted on weed-wackers to sweep parking lots! HAHA

[wirak405]

These guys are lucky the machine won't climb—there's absolutely no way you'd be

able to stop this from free falling down the slope.

[onceANexile]

too much drag, and not enough tracktion[sic]

[ianthemusic]

Hi I think it's brilliant, and works as well as it was meant to. Who would design and make something that worked well for an invader? It had to look good which it does, but be flawed thus wasting the time and money the Nazis pumped into it.

[vitameat]

@ianthemusic my sentiments exactly......this wasa good way to screw with the Nazis, but heaven help the designers/engineers if the Nazis were wise to this!

[Jaggeh33]

The key design flaw is the drive. The way tracks work on sleds is based on the size of the foot print. A long wide surface grips, and holds more surface then that round track, which only puts down a traction surface to equal the width of the wheel. Send these fools back to school. and maybe they will make it half way up the hill, before powering out.

[sertoi]

un criss de cossin hahahahaha vive l'AMERIQUE nos moto-neiges poluent oui mais aux moins ont montent la cote tabarnack lui ya depenser 50 $ de gaz pis 10 ans de ca vie a batir un cossin qui poluent autant que nous autre va t'acheter un bombardier ca sa passe pis ca fait pres de 100ans que ca existe hahahahaha...

[rnasap]

I'll stick to my RMK made in good 'ol USA.

[tigergreg8]

At least they maybe had fun, The engine for one thing was way too weak, My riding mower has more power, Plus, no enough weight in the back to keep the driver wheel low enough to get any grip.

[putnut33]

My Ford p/u is better in the snow than this thing. hahaha

[LosHurkos]

Mohla mít barevné provedení jak ta v muzeu.Ta bílá se mi moc nelíbí

[luvmyctd]

lol, that is hilarious! Amazing some of the things people dream up. E for Effort way back then:)

[seffe28]

crap, you could of had tossed the money down the toilet instead.

[Shady198877]

pekna freza na snih kluci :) a ta vrtule to ma jako chladit? skútry  mají něco do sebe nemyslíte?

[LacoZarovka]

Chtělo by to pás místo toho válce, jinak pěkná tatrovička...

[VancouverCanucksRock]

These are meant to drive on lakes you dumb fucks, not up fucking hills. No wonder it doesn't make it up, fucking fools

[angimalchevez]

thats the biggest waiste of time and money i have ever seen

[RenzeZielman]

@angimalchevez Hitler paid for this development during WW2....

[peterkrutsch]

@RenzeZielman -I do not believe Hitler paid for anything in the world at all, but this is more a question for historians.. Company Tatra was ordered by Hitler to produce equipment for German Army during anexation of Czechoslovakia...This very snowmobile was ordered by Jeff Lane Museum in Nashville is an exact replica of the snowmobile in Tatra Museum, which was never tested and never came into production.

[tantalumdom]

all this time building something and doesnt even work.yes was designed in 1940's but modern technology makes things easier now.back to the drawing board I think

[galinneall]

For those of you just tuning in... this is a copy of a prototype built about 1940 (now in the Tatra Museum, Koprivnice, Czech Republic). It was intended to be used in the east - i.e., Russia, where it could scream across the open, snow covered plains. But why they're trying to run it up a mountain is beyond me.

[Mercy040]

Looks like a real screamer, kinda conjures up the thought of a baja truck screaming across the open desert. lol

[galinneall]

@Mercy040 Well that was kinda the point actually. It was supposed to scream across the open steppe. And if you look for other snowplanes here on YouTube, you'll find some good videos of them doing that.

[ATOMsMasHER22]

that didn't work!

I can kinda see how you'd think it would, but jesus, put tank tracks on something and call it good!

[skylinededre]

I agree with Mulleson you need a bigger track and get rid of the propeller it is use less.

[owner898]

1 why is the a propeller on it

2 why is the track so tiny for such a big machine lol funny lookin thing

[Pantucnak]

prototipe was made in 1940.. it was common used system..

[norrboraggarn]

why is there a prpeller on it?

[sourdough2674]

seriously? why is there a propeller???omfg

[jordanlt001]

Wow... biggest waste of money and time ever.

[spankybrandonf]

yea great idea but alot of bugs to work out, like more traction, if it gets stuck every couple minutes no point in buying it around here in wisconsin,,

[blugano]

piece... of... junk...

id use a real snowmobile XD

[jon5nc]

it was sucess maybe downhill  lol

[jon5nc]

doesnt seem to work well

[kevv1292]

what is the point of the propeller? it spins so slow to be of any use.... anyone know what the prop does?

[rockyPants4000]

The prop is not spinning slow, it's simply out of sync with the frame rate of the video camera.

The prop provides forward thrust along with the fat wheel at the center rear (which is also used as a brake).

Why they didn't just go with a fully tracked drive system in the rear I have no idea.

[moosiah]

cool ! a restored 40's snow machine.. I would try it on some flat snow fields first though. nice job , tatra v8 sounds good

[wendi1965laf]

You go hot rod you just need a bigger hill

[stevikstevik]

bratia češi maju šikovne ruky,len škoda že ich maju naopak :-D druhy raz nechajte tie kolesa na tom a v takom snehu by sa to asi skor pohlo :-D

[Petr2512]

Paráda, výborně alespoň to někdo zkusil jest-li tento stroj vůbec funguje.

[clubbymart]

try going downhill :D

[sorich]

Only in the Jeseniky mountains could you find a piece of shit this big, i mean come on you could fall forward and get further up the hill!

[cimmerianpraetor]

well it was designed for straight plains of Siberia, so testing it in skiing resort may be not the best idea.

[Brutalnemisis]

Get that thing into any kind of actual powdery snow....its going to have a hard time.

[Highport5]

They really gave it a good try though! I don't have that kind of patience. That little wheely-tred-thing in the back don't do too much. I'd look that over first, maybe move the prop. somewhere else.

[SLARMYTHEBEST]

whats that propeller doing there?

[therealdrbyte]

this is a pretty pointless looking exercise

[oakld]

Yes, funny test, just to show that it rides on the snow I guess? This 1940's machine was designed to ride on the vast snow covered Russian planes, not to climb up the hills :-D.
