one thing that this channel establishes beyond any doubt is that an old Lada is one of, if not THE most resilient and hearty automobile ever made. This channel has taught me that one of those Ladas, even one with hundreds of thousands of miles, can last and be reliable for its owner for life. And I want one. 😊id like to acquire one, redo the inside, rebuild the entire drive train and have it as a daily. or at least ready to be put into service whenever needed.

you know what really would be neat , using steel BBs in the clear tube but use something clear to separate the BBs to have an ark all the way down the tube .lighted spark plug wires.

****Starts engine**** Engine runs like a wooden box of rocks rolling down a hill. Vlad: "The engine is running just like it would in stock form"

Awesome as usual. "Oh, it's leaking battery liquid from the cap! Give it more gas!" 😂

And they didn't try beer or vodka?

Dang I wanted to see brake fluid… Great video as always.

Another episode i could not have imagined... When will you ever run out of ideas... 😂

Better not run low on "Sparkfluid" 😅

Liquid dish washing soap in water works perfectly. I tested it with a ohm meter and it reads shorted, no resistance.

This is great. Such a simple thing that I never would have thought of ever trying.

another banger

There is quite a bit of resistance built into an ignition system. The spark has to jump at least 2 gaps in a distributor ignition system (the rotor to the cap, the spark plug gap at the end of the plug). Most cars with spark plug wires also have a resistance designed into them (often around 1000ohm/ft) and a lot of spark plugs are resistor plugs (meaning they have additional resistance built into them). So, a mildly conductive liquid in a hose isn’t that dissimilar to the resistance already in a stock ignition system.

My suggestion is for you all to fully restore a Lada to its former glory when it was new.

Solid! Top KEK! Peace be with you.

Would have liked to see what brake fluid did ..keep up the good work lads 😂😂

This is so awesome! Now, instead of expensive spare cables, you can carry 2 meters of robber hose and it will work. This can, actually, be life saver. Nice video...

Hello Vlad and crew Your videos are wonderful This one about various types of fluids for the wires is very intriguing Could you possibly try fill the clear tubes with neon, helium, argon, nitrogen or hydrogen ?

These are some great experiments if you get stuck with your boat somewhere remote. Nice job😮👍

Vlad would be capable of making a great submersible that was capable of getting to the Titanic .. and back 😂

Paint a car 🚗with ballpoint pen ink

I'm amazed at how well this worked. I wouldn't have guessed that any would have worked. Very neat video

Try a wet copper sulphate fertilizer to see if the spark is stronger. It'd be great to get a spark measurement too.

Great video Vlad ,Please tell Vlad he must do part 2 with copper grease , aluminium grease , thermal paste , and loquid gallium . Big views .

should have tried used engine oil, possibly has a high metal content

It would be interesting to know what the resistance in ohm's is

Good idea ! 💡 I've not thought of testing that ! Well done !

This gives a new meaning to the term "blinker fluid"

this is one more interesting episode Vlad still having fun . keep the videos coming very enjoyable.

the weird mysterious gasses is likely hydrogen!

Awesome video. This was very cool to see, as are most of y'all's experiments. You guys are amazing.❤️❤️

VERY interesting experiment! Thank you

Derek From Vice Grip Garage would be proud! Real "Lightning Hoses!"

😁 Garage54 really respond to comments, few days and "liquid" leads are here. Respect 👍

me: this is crazy also me: ok show me

What? No Vodka?

Great stuff guys, keep the videos coming

Ordinary black rubber vacuum hose conducts surprisingly well. Try some of that alone, or maybe put itdown the centre of the clear tubing. Also detergent and water should conduct electricity a bit because it is an ionic solution.

I loved this one!! Greetings from cabo, Mexico

this channel is so creative its beautiful

Do straight copper leads, like the old race cars. Show us how it effects the radio and the range it does it.

you say no one was shocked in that last video . well you shot the seots out of me on this one !

I'm kind of glad the gasoline wires didn't conduct. I didn't want to see him loose what's left of his hair.

G54 bringing a whole new meaning to leaking HT leads 🤣👍

Zinc plated bolt + sulfuric acid = hydrogen gas. Always nice have some sparks and hydrogen together. Good that there was not enough air/oxygen mixed in. This much would be enough to blow those plastic tubes open and spray the electrolyte everywhere.

Next time that your mechanic says "we need to change the spark cables fluid" dont doubt him.

Fuel mixed with salt/regular ground dirt? Maybe adding some minerals would improve conductivity By the way great video! When you said "What else have we got? FUEL" I lost it :D :D :D

This is such a great idea; could work in a real pinch.

the electrolite was interesting. great job

This is pretty cool.

You could probably convince some people you were running fiber optic ignition leads with that setup. Certainly reminds me of fiber optics at least.

You should try using old CRT TV/monitor anode wires as a spark plug wires, I think they should work perfectly as they perform similar function, altough I'm not sure of their impedance rating.

amazing idea guys

I love these guys 🍻

with love from Canada.

Off topic but have you guys ever thought of pulling a massive vacuum in the exhaust to increase thermal efficiency and make more power? Turbo or supercharger to remove gases from engine.

I’m impressed that it worked! This guy’s are wayyyy better than Mythbusters!👌😂👍

Wow!!! This idea was suggested by another commenter from the video with the graphite-connection. Great idea!👍🏽

Notification Squad!🔥🔥🔥

Awesome. Next time check the KV differences between the fluids. Aloha.

Lightning hoses!!

"See here's your problem... Your spark is leaking out!"

pretty much anything with minerals like salt (sodium) will conduct electricity, try household cleaning products like bleach, laundry detergent, dish soap, shampoo and others stuff like vinegar, sodium fluoride containing stuff like mouthwash or toothpaste.

Try evacuating the tubes to make a vacuum, like in an old crt

That's crazy!

Wonder if graphite was floating it the saltwater. Would it light up

Bit of silicone sealant around the ends of the washer tubing to seal onto dizzy cap and plug cap, with water/salt mix, and you'll have a more permanent solution! NOICE! 👌👍😉 😎🇬🇧

A fresh blade of grass will conduct and keep an engine running, for a while. Long before it stops working though, if the engine is stopped it will not restart with the same blade of grass, even though it was running on it.

There was one fluid you didn't try. I really thought you were going to at one point, everyone has it in them all the time wee wee. 😮😂😂😂 👍👍👌👌😊

Never a dull moment

Try gases that they put into neon light tubes.

What about using the plastic tube, but fill it with graphite powder. Should work a treat!. 👍

Check your spark fluid every 5k miles

How many potatoes/lemons does it take to start a car?

This channel is going to make Lada's collector cars in the US.

I still think the guys should make plug wires/ignition leads out of flourescent or neon tubes.

Reminds me of the time I changed the coil wire on my buddy's car with vacuum hose. When he got in it started and he drove off.

What about the brake fluid?

If you don't have coolant, water, or washer fluid, try fuel! That would be a blast.

How often do I have to change spark plug wire fluid?

Another great video! I know OSHA doesn't have a presence in Russia, but at least wear some safety glasses when dealing with volatile chemicals & risks of things going awry.

how about using neon bulbs inside your clear tubing hooking them up in series.

This is fascinating to think of Especially if you built a very cheap installation on the outside of the car to make it amphibious, and let's say if it broke! It would not matter because all of the electrical components would be made of liquids.

Hey guys how about putting graphite in the clear leads????

Have you tried itbs on a carburetor?

technically..... Liquid wires are the future as they literally can never break from bending induced metal fatigue.

We once had a bad Ignition lead on an old truck we used a green tree branch done a good job till it dry out replace with another till we got home replace lead the next day

gasoline is such a good insulator that they use it for wire-EDM :)

I'm a bit shocked that coolant works. (pun totally intended) coolant should not conduct electricity well, because of galvanic corrosion. that's why GM developed DexCool for use in engines with an iron block and aluminum heads and intake. it's supposed to keep the corrosion in check.

I was ready for five 'kabams' and a mushroom cloud.

One thing come stuff but do it take nut keep up the great work

I wonder about raising the compression,

zinc spray paint fluid in copper tube insulate and/or not? tiny drill holes like bong viscous electrolyte around in clear larger diameter tubing😁 only need a capacitor to start no weight battery.., lithium reliablility just incase.

Liquid Laundry detergent would work as well their is a Lot of 🧂 Salt in that stuff

And as Clarkson would say watching this idea, "what kind of paint thinner you where sniffing?"

As Derek Bieri would say, “lightning hoses” VGG

you never ran the car with the lights out !

Try it with the lights off .... maybe see some sparks in tube

If fuel conducted, it would short out in-tank pumps. Just a thought.

Now this will give someone a idea to make transparent ignition leads that light up with every spark

hey joe , what are you doing this weekend ? oh im just changing my spark plug fluid ...
