Inflate a Tire with Liquid Fire TRICK

[SuperYoungonce]

What the gentleman in the video is doing is a very effective means of sealing a bead. The tire must now be filled with air. You can use the same technique for a wheel barrow, dolly, truck tire , ... Etc.

[Bradburn911]

Me too! It works but doesn't...

[rdfutrell]

mythbusters busted it's effectiveness!

[ArnAriel13]

BUSTED!

[xsychosis]

@ArnAriel13 u saw mythbusters just now to huh

[Refused85]

this trick was busted on mythbusters

[XAngelicXDeathX]

Yea it inflaes the tire BUT it causes a vacume effect, and if you put ANY pressure on it, it deflates.

[mckannick]

The tire wasn't 'inflated' but merely reseated on the rim. Works OK if that's all you got to reseat the tire to the rim. The hazard of doing it better be worth the risk.

[xXUSMCGRIFFXx]

lol, He just lights is and walks away like a boss

[sackboom]

Clean!!!!!

[bokser85]

This is confirmed by one TV Show... they tried this with few liquids. They did it with hairspray... What you don`t see on this video is LOW AIR PRESSURE in tire... Wheel must be in air (no contact with ground). But like I said, you don`t have enough pressure in tire.... you should pump it up!

How ever this is very helping... Worst job is done very easily.

[TRUEGATOR1]

I wonder how many people are gonna try this after seeing the video and end up in the ER??

[mancamiatipoola]

I think this method can only be used to pop the tire on the rim, but not to drive on. I don't see the expanded aerosol gas having enough pressure to keep 1/4 of the weight of a car up. Besides, most of it escapes when it explodes. I think u still have to inflate the tire with air afterwards.

Has anyone ever tried this? Does the wheel hold inflation on the road just on that gas or do u have to inflate it with air too?

Pls reply.

[rbneville]

@mancamiatipoola you still have to inflate it with a compressor, this just seats the bead.

[dirtTdude]

@mancamiatipoola depends on the tire manufactures tire inflation recommendations but typically 4X4s run lower pressure for a larger foot print in off road environments. the amount of end result PSI depends on barometric pressure, the amount and kind of accelerant used, volume of tire and wheel assembly and weather or not the valve stem has been removed.. I do this with farm equipment occasionally, I advise letting as much unburned gas out as possible because some solvents will eat the tire

[perryinjax]

@mancamiatipoola You are exactly correct. You must inflate with air compressor before driving on it, as this only seats the bead. You can see this tire in this video deflate some right at the end.

[TheChristianRight09]

The tire was not inflated,it was clinched to the rem...

A ratchet strap will clinch a tire to the wheel in the same way ,and safer..

[vanea652]

fel de spray este ?



[vortex812]

Yayyyyy... oh wait it didnt work. Duhhhrr

[gunbojason]

what kind of spray was that hairspray?

[Lukeschedel]

anyone know the exact name/year of that truck?

[stake85]

@Lukeschedel Looks like an early 90'sToyota Tacoma.

[jimmybilbo]

@swansontea yeah, i'm sure you have a "frikkin' PhD in physics."

[FlareRider123]

I feel sad for that 1 person who set himself on fire trying this.

[dominiccss]

What the hell? This video is fucked for me. The bar skips right to the end, but I can still here like 5 secs of audio. The whole youtube video is green and distorted and doesn;t move too

[Sepharite]

I was waiting for the car to explode at the end. Very disappointed.

[AKAtheA]

@swansontea no, 1 mol of oxygen WITH 2 mol of hydrogen gives you 1 mol of water... this is higschool chemistry...

It's impossible to suddenly get matter out of nothing, the weight (amount of atoms) has to be the same...

I'm getting the feeling that you have no idea what molar mass(M) is & how to count it into mass (m)...

[megotvtec]

does this really create enough pressure to drive on? or is it just enough air to seal the bead? i cant see this adding 40+psi to the tire.

[gobersiak]

@megotvtec Does create pressure just for few sec.

[AKAtheA]

@AKAtheA p.s. all gas volumes are @ 0°C, the water is @ 4°C, the difference is neglible...

Now, do I have to try & explain thermal expansion or can you look it up yourself?!

[HackerHater2011]

this was just on jay leno

[shawnkrause871]

I want that truck

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

u forgot the other side!

[Fritz1945]

Everyone should know how to do this : )

[andrewgsupbrah]

i saw this on top gear. i was amazed. coolest idea ever.

[vsop333]

No, it doesn't inflate the tire, it mounts it/beads it. You have to inflate it afterwards.

[models800]

hey what is that can of stuff called i need some i have 4 tires that need to go on my four wheeler's wheels and i have no tools to do it with and no help because i live in the country

[omarofuae]

@models800 You can use WD-40, starter fluid, brake fluid, mostly any kind of flamable fluid.

[713fabian12]

It's still flat. You hear it hissin.

[shoprat17]

what happens is the ether burns so fast it burns out all the oxygen, creating a vacuum in the tire so fast that the whole side wall gets pulled to the rim bead when the vacuum tries to fill itself back in.

[KevCal510]

its magic.

[Serostern]

@swansontea ...But it's mostly heat.

[Chadwickfowler]

awesome



[PS3ower]

if you use a wd 40 and use a fire for inflate a tire. You might be a red neck

[joemcbobinite]

ive actually just never seen this done :/ what are the directions? just spray under the tire on the rim and light?and what type of sprays does it gotta be?

[johndowdy1]

@joemcbobinite you can use starter fluid, or anything with ether in it. just be careful not to spray too much, you might run the risk of blowing yourself up. never seen it hapen, but heard a story of a kid at a tire shop blowing a tire up and seriously hurting himself.

[TacomaJD]

I just wonder why some people are even watching this video when they ask how this trick works... It's a fairly simple method that should explain itself as you watch. Too many tards in this country.

[BAMBAM3316]

I'll stick with my ratchet strap..

[BAMBAM3316]

yay!! after all these years of hearing about it.....finally get to see it.

[crimsonxlll]

so u put the spray in the tire and around the rim also?

[mackat4ck]

@swansontea That's great but how does the tyre jump back onto the rim? Or is that not what I'm actually seeing?

[swansontea]

@mackat4ck AFAIK the purpose of the rim is to catch the tire as it inflates, which is exactly what we see. The expansion of the gas is very rapid.

[ATGhostMode]

now that's efficient!

[WaRDoG29298]

@swansontea whats the point of saying this?

[swansontea]

@WaRDoG29298 Explaining some of the physics involved. It's not just expansion of existing gases due to heating — you have a liquid undergoing combustion and turning into a gas, and gases take up more volume than liquids do.

[patrikasLTL]

Haha, reminds me too much of the soviet military. That sort of "street knowdledge" while western militaries do everything by regulation and shit!

My dad had to dig-in these poles every few feet and then put runway lights on them. He was supposed to bring a pneumatic drill to make holes in the concrete etc. So he just slightly bashed the rods with a hammer to stay in place, and then put 5 grams of TNT on top of each and boom: "I JUST PLACED 200 POLES IN 3 SECONDS! THANKS Joseph Wilbrand!"

[faffaflunkie]

Was that a can of ether based "starting fluid"?

[area220sucks]

how many psi's does it inflate to?

[sethster70]

hey scientist i got a question how can we make pigs fly? try to answer that 1 LOL

[mackat4ck]

@sethster70 genetic engineering... lol

[frankiacono2007]

Have to love redneck ingenuity!

[D39854]

i got to try that when my tire goes flat.!!!!!!!! Awesome  vid

[ozzie5163]

That was....... straight up AWESOME!

[andrew0901280]

that is the most bad ass thing i have ever seen im gonna carry around some shit to do that in my mudd truck

[chisling1234]

you can use gas too i did that once

[ippielb]

It's safer to use Aerosol sprays, as they only burn the fuel you spray into the rim. Gas will burn the tire along with the fuel.

[Crimsonterminator100]

can some one explain how this works for me please that would be very muck appreciated

[6030diesel]

the super fast explosion pushed the tire out so fast it pops onto the rim. then when the air inside the tire cools off it contracts and forms a vacuum inside the tire thats why you have to be quick to inflate it or it might pop off the rim again.

[mgalin08]

what do you use for a spray?

[ninja6kid]

starter spray would work best

[TheBootscooter222]

@ninja6kid i think brake parts cleaner is better than starter spray

[Origional79s]

Text book . Fast effictive.

[MrCopernikus]

This method is orignaly from iceland

[Maux4200]

yeah, i heard that too on top gear

[martiniafg]

in the end tire goes off the air again :D

[analog56x]

thats because the fire burns up all the oxygen inside the tire

this is primarily used to seat the bead of the tire

[metalguitar1011]

then u fill it with air, yes

[pablonbd]

LOL youare so fuking true!!

hhahaha

[tjodleik]

No, it did not.

It sets just fine, but the owner of the car, did put his finger on the nossle, nd got a hikkie on his finger :-)

[rotundrooster]

finally,someone did it right,some of these fools wasting a whole can need a boot in the butt.

[ippielb]

We got a chemist here, very good explanation! thumbs up

[youmantube22]

hey man could you maybe explain the physics or chemistry behind this? i dont understand how this works

[ippielb]

Well you should know that airesol cans are explosive. And when the man sprays the liquid fire on the rim of the tire, and INSIDE the tire, it rebounds off the rim and goes in. And when he lights the spray and lights the gases inside the tires, all of the "liquid fire" ignits and expands with heat. Thus increasing the pressure inside the tire. And that makes the tire inflate extremely fast.

[kturner87]

@ippielb how did he get the airesol inside the tire??

[Slaytanic454]

You just have to make sure to put air to it right after you use this trick, or the gas that has expanded inside the tire will cool and skrink, popping the tires back off the rim.
