rev up your engines, today I'm gonna talk
about some of the craziest car
inventions people have sent me, now when
this bag came I thought it was something
for my hockey equipment but no it's a
car umbrella and here's how it works
you take the bag out of your car, pull
out the umbrella
then put it on top of your car, then
you grab the suction cup arm and pull it
down on, then with the remote you push
the botton and voila it's opening up, it
has various stays and ties that you
adjust, you can put it on the mirror
you can wrap it inside the car and as
you can see there's a hurricane down the
road the wind is starting to blow but this
has vents so the air is vented through
and it doesn't pick it up and tear
it off and make it fly away and then when
you're all done you just push closed and
it automatically closes itself, then you
can take it off and put it back in the bag
now this is actually rather well-made got
nice metal stays lithium-ion battery
pretty good pump it's a pretty solidly
built car tent, what will they think of
next
now the last product the car umbrella hey
it was crazy in a good sense of the word
but this bee rads wonder dust it's
crazy in the bad sense of the word, now
according to this
you're supposed to drip this into the
intake so it goes inside the engine and
burns and coats the cylinders it's supposed
to coat the engine and rebuild it but
really here's his directions this one's
even too crazy for me the actual
mechanics of how it accomplishes this
are not yet well understood and warrant
further studies, so really bee rad or Brad's
wonder dust, I took a pass on that one I'm
pretty open-minded about testing things
out, but there's no way I'm going to be
pouring this dust into the intake of the
engine where it gets sucked into the
engine, it could ruin the catalytic
converter, it could do all kinds of damage
so this one is even too crazy for me
now the next crazy
product I got is called the
tornado you're supposed to put it on your
air intake and it makes the air swirl so
you get more power and more gas mileage
well I did actually try out the tornado
put it on a couple of cars and tested it
on a dynamometer and found out that lo
and behold it didn't take any difference
at all, it didn't make it run any better
and it didn't make it run in any worse
because really modern engines are pretty
well designed the intake system, most of
them are molded plastic now and they're
molded with certain bends and twists and
the valves are designed so the air is
swirled when it goes into the combustion
chamber most modern engines are about
99% as efficient as they can be with the
system they had on it, so even if
something like this actually worked
and this doesn't the only thing you
could get is improve on that tiny little
1% and it wouldn't do anything much at all
1% it's a joke so stay away from the
tornado, now the last crazy product I'm
gonna talk about it's this Theefun smoke
maker that I got sent, I originally
thought what am I gonna do with this fun
smoke maker that's used on stage and
stuff, but then I realized I can use it
as a smoke leak machine, this thing only
cost like $30 but this professional
smoke machine that I got years ago cost
over $1,000 and unlike my professional
one that's mineral oil based, this uses a
liquid fog that's not only long-lasting
but it's non-toxic and water-based so
the smoke that this makes is
non-flammable, it doesn't really even hurt
you're breathing it in, it's actually
safer than my thousand-dollar smoke
machine so you can use this fog machine
to find leaks using smoke for only 30
bucks, stick it in the exhaust, though I still
advise looking for exhaust leaks on a
car when it's cold, not when it's hot
because you don't want to burn your
hands when you're messing around trying
to find where the leak is coming from and
you can get a hose and then some gorilla
tape, wrap it around the exit then when
you push the button, you have a supply
of smoke which you can inject into
various parts of the intake system to
find where leaks are, especially good for
finding vacuum leaks, so it turns out
this
invention wasn't as crazy as I originally
thought it would be, plus you can use it
at parties and for special effects in
your videos, so now you've seen some of
the crazy car products and I've been
sent and please people keep sending them
to me cuz I love checking things out and
you never know what use something might
have, so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos,
remember to ring that Bell!
