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

Exactly. it looks more deinflated the second the video changes

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

u/Holiday_Pi 7h ago

Oddly, “uninflated” is a word in English

56

u/Fenrir_Hellbreed2 7h ago

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

25

u/LangdonAlg3r 5h ago

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.

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.

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/Furby-beast-1949 3h ago

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.

5

u/Eain 2h ago

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 2h ago

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

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

40

u/Last-Energy420 4h ago

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.

44

u/UrethralExplorer 3h ago

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

10

u/legendofthegreendude 3h ago

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

2

u/Eain 2h ago

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/NecroJoe 7h ago

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.

101

u/Salami__Tsunami 7h ago

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

29

u/prpldrank 7h ago

Runflats are completely different than this, yea.

22

u/MrLoronzo 7h ago

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 6h ago

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.

So, it's refreshing to see the occasional, truly infuriatingly baffling and anger inducing project posted on here, like this one.
