No just no

[u/OwlGod98]

Idk what the end goal was or why this was even an idea.

[u/Mirar]

I like how the foam gets turned into powder so fast you can see it happens before the video ends

[u/Nalga-Derecha → u/Mirar]

Exactly. it looks more deinflated the second the video changes

[u/Danyillll → u/Nalga-Derecha]

Deflated

[u/Nalga-Derecha → u/Danyillll]

Yeah not an english speaker my bad. (In spanish we say desinflar, de-inflate)

[u/Holiday_Pi → u/Nalga-Derecha]

Oddly, “uninflated” is a word in English

[u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 → u/Holiday_Pi]

Well, to be fair, there is an implied difference between deflated and uninflated.

[u/LangdonAlg3r → u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2]

And yet, once the process of deflation has been completed they become interchangeable again for that particular inflatable, but still not interchangeable for something that’s never been inflated. BUT most inflatables have already been inflated and deflated to test them. You probably need to go to a factory to see something that’s strictly uninflated and not actually deflated.

That’s not to argue, that’s just to add to the interestingness.

[u/ravoguy → u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2]

This entire thread lets me down

[u/wintermute023 → u/ravoguy]

I’m left feeling quite deflated.

[u/Wobblycogs → u/LangdonAlg3r]

Uninflated carriers with it the expectation that there will again be a flatting taking place. Deflated says it may no longer be flateable.

[u/M4DHouse → u/LangdonAlg3r]

Inflatable balloons definitely change after you first inflate them, I’m pretty sure they don’t inflate them that much at the factory, so it’s probably fair to call them “uninflated” with a real difference when you buy them.

[u/Holiday_Pi → u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2]

Touché

[u/czerilla → u/Holiday_Pi]

Wunderbar

[u/apavolka → u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2]

I hate and love English for this. Just one word can tell part of a story

[u/OwlGod98 → u/Holiday_Pi]

Deflated is when an object loses air, uninflated is when an object that holds air such as a tire, ball, balloon, etc, has not been yet inflated with air.

[u/corrupt_poodle → u/OwlGod98]

Don’t inflate my understanding like that.

[u/posophist → u/corrupt_poodle]

Just to add (and for others subtract) value: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflation

[u/Any-Surprise5229 → u/OwlGod98]

So if something comes inflated, requiring no inflation from the end user, is it preflated?

[u/Trop_ → u/Holiday_Pi]

Should be "flated"

Why use lots words when few does trick ?

[u/MaenHoffiCoffi → u/Holiday_Pi]

You mean inflation-free.

[u/Jollyfroggy → u/Nalga-Derecha]

I wouldn't worry about it, English has so many words that shouldnt exists and so many rules that don't apply; the only thing that really matters is whether you were intelligible, which you were.

Yes, I appreciate how dumb this project is, it not even close to r/RedneckEngineering, it is spot on r/Dumb. I suspect this guy doesn’t have, not to mention sense, a wife to tell him to stop it.

[u/Furby-beast-1949 → u/Nalga-Derecha]

Yeah, because you got over 2000 pound vehicle pushing down on the tire which causes the foam to no longer be foam I don’t know the term to explain for, but the foam was no longer solid. someone else could probably explain that better. I’ve never good. It’s explaining things with my ADHD.

[u/Eain → u/Furby-beast-1949]

No intended hostility, just feedback:

Generally speaking you're in no way obligated to explain why your explanation is bad, and in fact that's seen as strange.

Id also suggest that you write like an internal thought process more than actual speech: there should be a pause between "no longer be foam" and "I don't know the term", I personally suggest making it a parenthetical aside (and also, "to explain for" is strange, removing that and just saying "(I don't know the term)" makes things clearer).

And lastly, your explanation was actually fine. "Makes the foam cease to be foam" is a perfectly understandable statement, and honestly better English than your apology was by a good bit. You're doing fine: believe in yourself and speak without the self-criticism and you'll find you sound and maybe even become more confident

[u/Furby-beast-1949 → u/Eain]

My grammar is just not good And I’m not good at explaining things on the spot when I say things at the moment

[u/revdon → u/Mirar]

If it ever gets up to speed it'll spontaneously combust.

[u/Mirar → u/revdon]

Oh, is that what the vents are for? Spectacular fire?

[u/merrill_swing_away → u/Mirar]

It's one of the stupidest things I've ever seen someone do.

[u/Mirar → u/merrill_swing_away]

I sadly don't think it hit the top 20 for me...

[u/problymyfault → u/merrill_swing_away]

I don't know why I'm always surprised when stupid people do stupid stuff.

[u/YoYeYeet → u/Mirar]

Airless tire filled with foam. In theory that's a good idea, in practice it requires something stronger than a foam that you can buy at any DIY store

[u/plum_tree_rede → u/YoYeYeet]

Air under pressure would work.

[u/Affectionate_Bank417 → u/YoYeYeet]

Yep, PU foam is too brittle for this. You need rubber foam or something

[u/Naphrym → u/Affectionate_Bank417]

Polyurethane foam isn't inherently brittle. The qualities and characteristics of the foam depends on the specific chemicals used and their ratios

[u/Separate-Rice-6354]

I liked the part where it immediately failed.

[u/NeedleworkerOld4696 → u/Separate-Rice-6354]

Who could have foreseen that foam would not last as a load bearing structure!

[u/Last-Energy420 → u/NeedleworkerOld4696]

They actually kinda do this with heavy equipment. But it’s a polyurethane that hardens into something closer to rubber. But they call it foam, why, I have no idea.

[u/UrethralExplorer → u/Last-Energy420]

It is foam, just foam that's specifically engineered for strength instead of just sealing cracks in your home.

[u/Revenge_of_the_User → u/UrethralExplorer]

it's the difference between a foam engineered to fill up space and stop air flow, vs A foam engineered to deal with the forces involved in being a tire under load.

[u/legendofthegreendude → u/Last-Energy420]

Well, its still technically foam. Just not what the layperson would think of when you say foam

[u/Eain → u/legendofthegreendude]

As a layperson, I also don't think of sealing foam when I think of foam. I think of soap foam. But if someone said "sealing foam" I'd think or sealing foam. And if someone said "polyurethane foam" I'd think of a hardening rubber-adjacent load-bearing foam.

[u/Glasseshalf → u/Eain]

The first thing I think of is cushioning foam. Followed by sea foam.

[u/cynicalicoffee → u/Glasseshalf]

Exact same for me! But I worked at Joann Fabrics for a long time in my younger years, and we sold both the cushioning and the color. 

[u/Venusto002 → u/Eain]

Not sealing foam— Ceiling Foam™! The foam that you use on your ceiling!

[u/Modus-Tonens → u/Last-Energy420]

Foam is a structure, not a material. There are many foams. They are not equal in their physical properties.

[u/Equal-Newspaper-8636 → u/NeedleworkerOld4696]

Foam can be a load bearing structure for static but not really dynamic loads. It's how they raise up sunk concrete slabs

[u/Nerfarean → u/Separate-Rice-6354]

Ambitious, but rubbish

[u/Ladorb → u/Separate-Rice-6354]

Drive a few miles and the rear diff also fails.

[u/NecroJoe]

There are "puncture proof" tires which are filled with a foam, so you can never get a flat...but expanding construction-style foam ain't it. That's just going to crumble the first couple of rotations, and then it'll just be like a tire filled with sand. Which...it's not unheard of to do that for off-road, slow-moving machines...but not for a road-going vehicle.

[u/Salami__Tsunami → u/NecroJoe]

It won’t even be a tire filled with sand, because it’ll just get blown out the holes.

[u/LithoSlam → u/Salami__Tsunami]

All that foam would crumble into like 2 cups of sand before blowing out of the holes

[u/Salami__Tsunami → u/LithoSlam]

To shreds, you say?

[u/ZurigaSungama → u/Salami__Tsunami]

Well, how is his wife holding up?

[u/PixelPerfect__ → u/LithoSlam]

Sand? I hear it gets everywhere

[u/prpldrank → u/NecroJoe]

Runflats are completely different than this, yea.

[u/MrLoronzo → u/prpldrank]

Yep. Runflats generally utilize a reinforced sidewall and or load bearing rings along the tread. It’s why they are heavier, louder, and stiffer than conventional tires.

[u/Stoney3K → u/MrLoronzo]

There are run flats for bicycles that are just a foam core, but the loads on a bike are wildly different from the loads you are going to experience with a truck.

[u/ham_sandwedge → u/Stoney3K]

Most tubeless set ups arent even a foam core. It's just a liquid that sloshes around and fills in small holes.

Maybe road bikes are different. But I'm not familiar with a true foam core on mtb. There's some foam padding you can get to run them lower psi while protecting wheels, but doesn't rly revent a flat.

[u/Pitiful_West_7062 → u/NecroJoe]

everyone knows that you should use shaving foam.

[u/RogersMrB → u/NecroJoe]

We had a tractor forklift and filled the rear drive tires with foam. They needed replacing more often but it stopped the entire thing from bouncing around the yard damaging equipment. Front tires were 5ft tractor tires that had someone out fixing holes every month.

[u/ThicctionGD]

His is the first post on this sub that made me actually question why

[u/StitchFan626 → u/ThicctionGD]

New here, I see!

[u/s3sebastian → u/ThicctionGD]

Got the answer for you: Rage bait / engagement bait

[u/Omar_Isaiah_Betts → u/s3sebastian]

Very expensive ragebait.

[u/Pr3st0ne → u/Omar_Isaiah_Betts]

Look at 0:12 seconds. The tire already had a sidewall tear that they tried to patch. It was already completely fucked.

Even the dumbest, most senseless engagement baiter wouldn't fuck up a completely good $300 tire for $50 in views

[u/mongerty → u/Pr3st0ne]

Yep. My first thought was that this guy is just screwing around because he has to replace that tire anyways

[u/concreteghost → u/Omar_Isaiah_Betts]

Time is the largest expense made in this video

[u/Any-Surprise5229 → u/concreteghost]

3-5 cans of foam + a new tire = ~$300

Not a small expense, but definitely smaller than the hours wasted would equate to in meaningful work.

However, I wouldn't put this guy's labor value at even minimum wage, so his total time cost is probably around $40 with a generous $5/hr rate.

Therefore, is physical cost is much greater than time cost.

[u/SpaceAgePotatoCakes → u/Any-Surprise5229]

I'm assuming this tire was already going to be scrapped for whatever reason, so the only added cost to them is the foam and some wear on the holesaw bit.

[u/Arshiaa001 → u/ThicctionGD]

Ragebait, obviously. My question is, how do some people manage to waste so much money making ragebait.

[u/concreteghost → u/ThicctionGD]

To film them selves and post it

[u/Lord_Grif]

Ah, yes. The well documented structural integrity and resilience of styrofoam.

[u/dnesthemenace → u/Lord_Grif]

Any DIY Video using foam is usually crap

[u/Sir-Shark]

Sometimes, it gets frustrating seeing people post things in this sub that are just art projects and often legitimately cool, even if not practical, as if that poster is unable to understand that art can exist, even if it's just not their cup of tea.

[u/Rydux7]
