From the individuals who introduced you the V-16 engine made out of chainsaws, now we have a brand new contraption that can inevitably discover its method right into a Lada. The Storage 54 staff is again simply in time for the vacations, and if Santa introduced you yet one more cordless drill, this is some inspiration for utilizing it. Get just a few extra and make your individual electrical car.

That is the plan for this bonkers construct, which makes use of at least 50 drills. We don’t know the output of every, however with all of them linked up by way of serpentine belts, a little bit of parasitic energy loss is probably going. They’re all mounted to a steel cradle by way of hose clamps—sure, hose clamps—and if that cradle appears acquainted, it is the identical one Storage 54 used for the V-16 chainsaw engine. Apparently, they already tore it aside. Bummer.

Steel posts are welded all around the cradle to carry the drills. A grand whole of fifty aluminum pulleys are fabricated for each. To get all of the drills working in sync, the staff makes an attempt to rewire them whereas retaining the electronics inside. In principle, with just a few modifications the drills ought to all activate from only one set off. Nevertheless, they run into issues so it is all scrapped for a extra direct route. Every battery is linked on to a motor, with all the pieces tied into a pair bundles of naked wires. Contact them, and all the pieces whirs to life. Appears fully secure.

As with the V-16 chainsaw video, this one focuses solely on the construct. The bevy of belts flip a single shaft within the center, and the bench check exhibits that sure, the shaft spins. Whether or not it has sufficient energy to truly transfer a automotive is one other story. Supplied they do not burn the store down attempting to get these motors conveniently synced up, search for Storage 54 to proceed the saga in a later video.
