50 Times People Had Such Wild Solutions To Their Problems, They Were Celebrated In The ‘Redneck Engineers’ Group (New Pics)
Metal rusts and velour can be torn, so it's only a matter of time before your old Honda Civic breaks down. Of course, if you have money and you bought that car because you love the way it looks, you can probably just take it to the mechanic and let them fix it. However, if you're broke and that was the only reason why you got that pile of junk in the first place, you'll probably have to bring it back to life yourself.
But fear not, you'd be amazed to know how much is possible with so little. And the subreddit r/RedneckEngineering is the perfect example of that. It has plenty of funny, surprising, and creative DIY projects that simultaneously make sense and appear completely useless but can definitely inspire you to pick up a wrench and start working on that metal pony of yours.
Continue scrolling to check out recent posts that went viral within this online community and fire up Bored Panda's earlier article on it for more.

When my colleague Liucija contacted the founder of r/RedneckEngineering, they told her that the term “redneck engineering" is still open for interpretation. However, the Redditor reassured that it's also “the kind of thing you know when you see.”
For example, “It can range from something as common as using a hand mirror to replace a side-view mirror to something complex like building a backyard water slide with a loop-de-loop.” The members of the subreddit give “bonus points if it'd make an OSHA inspector cringe.”

Actually, it might. When I got rear-ended you could barely tell by looking at it, but the entire car was written off as the back end had lost structural integrity. A second collision, if it hit the right place, could have been fatal. So please, have your car looked at by a professional before applying any tricks like this.

I've heard that on metal parts, you can park the car in full sun, or use a blow dryer to get the metal hot, and put an ice cube on it to pull small dings. I don't know if it works, but worth a shot. You can also go online and buy dent pullers, of various qualities that work on metal and plastic. Yeah body shops are seriously expensive these days.

Not going to judge another guys car, but with the modifications, it has to be frightening at any speed over 20 mph.
The biggest difference between now and the old days in 2013 when r/RedneckEngineering was created is growth. The founder said that he used to be responsible for most of the posts, but the community has become really self-sustaining over time.
When it comes to submissions, you’ll see all kinds of bizarre makeshift gadgets and very questionable workarounds. Most posts generally come from people finding “low-budget workarounds to everyday problems with a few high-effort engineering projects and other submissions sprinkled in.”
The pandemic might also have something to do with the subreddit's increasing popularity. According to a national survey by The Freedonia Group in December 2020, 39% of consumers reported undertaking home improvement projects because of changes associated with these trying times.

This is more common than you think but they shouldn't be using rustoleum. Bad for everything (propellants to the user, everything else in there for the rest of the world). There are multiple brands of paint specifically designed for this that go on the end of your hose and you just spray with that. Original one was invented by a gold course caretaker. If you're in a hurry, many DIY stores sell 1 gallon jugs with built in sprayer. They are water-soluble, not toxic, and biodegrade in 3-4 months.

I'm surprised they don't make radios with one built in already. Also I've never understood why cars are made to go faster than the speed limit. If we truly didn't want people to speed because we know how dangerous it is. Why keep manufacturing cars that go over 80 miles an hour? It would no doubt cut down on speeding and accidents. Which is a good thing and quite frankly a really good idea. Not saying we can't have fast cars or anything. Just that our everyday vehicles should only go as fast as the highest speed limit in your area.

Ramen Fix
Izzy Curer 4 years ago
The ramen is mixed with epoxy. Ramen makes it stronger than epoxy by itself since the noodles act as reinforcement (sort of like rebar in concrete). The noodles also provide filler and help the epoxy hold together while it's in the liquid state to make more of a paste. The epoxy being used is probably 2-part clear epoxy, like the kind you find in automotive stores.

Only Had Two Batteries, And Also This Thing Was Crazy Bright
Twodogsandapicnictable 4 years ago
The messed up part is that it has a three battery compartment if it never needed that much power to begin with.
Parmeisan 4 years ago
That's not true, though. As Johnnie explains below, the extra voltage would drop the current. It was designed to run at a lower current, with certain resistances etc throughout the circuit. The higher current version works, and is brighter, but will wear out the LEDs faster if it doesn't catch the wires on fire first.

Johnnie 4 years ago
For all you guys who aren't EE's, when you drop voltage current goes up. That's why it got brighter. The bulb still required the same amount of power, but current determines brightness.

Not really? It's not an electric heater so those pipes will more than likely be carrying just hot water through them.

Then again, that water WILL be at a hot enough temperature to easily burn anyone it splashes on ... and burns CAN and DO kill .... so there is that. So maybe, yes really, after all?

Want warmer kitchen floors without having to renovate for radiant heat flooring or having filthy carpets? Interlocking foam tiles like they use in daycares. :) I can stand in my kitchen barefoot in winter, when previously, I could feel the cold of the floor right through socks and slippers. Easy maintenance, easy replacement. If the cats pukes on it - easy clean up. Drop something? Doesn't break. :)

I love the full, international flavor of "redneck engineering" presented here. ("Rednecks" are middle-American, manual laborers, who are often poor compared to the coastal elites, but very proud of their self-sufficiency and culture which is very distinct from coastal elites.)

I take it back. Some of these no self-respecting redneck would ever do.

I was expecting really lazy or stupid designs, but most of these were actually pretty smart. Some people can be creative when they don't wabt to do something
