All drivers know that the car needs to be thoroughly warmed up in winter before driving. However, the ice truck created by Canadian craftsmen from Canadian Tire, "Warming up" is contraindicated, since it can simply melt. Ice machineis perhaps one of the most incredible creations of engineering.
The presentation of the ice truck took place in Ontario, where the craftsmen there advertised the frost-resistant MotoMaster Eliminator Ultra AGM battery in such an original way. To prove its endurance, they put the battery in a pickup truck carved out of ice. By the way, it took more than five tons of ice to create the body.
The designers assure that the battery can operate at a temperature of - 40 degrees Celsius, during the test drive the car really successfully covered a distance of 1.6 km at a speed of 20 km / h.
The pickup is named the Canadian Tire Ice Truck, and Canadian Tire claims it is the world's fastest “ice car”. In order for the car to drive, the designers borrowed a frame chassis and a powerful power unit from a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck manufactured by General Motors. Worked on the creation of the original body Iceculture companyspecializing in the creation of ice sculptures. Heidi Bailey, one of her employees, admitted that this project was the most difficult of all that they have ever dealt with.
Before the ice car began to melt, the organizers of the action managed to shoot several wonderful videos in which the transparent pickup looks very impressive. To achieve this crystal clear ice, oxygen was removed from the frozen water so that bubbles and white spots were avoided. The ice creation of talented designers is flawless.
