Use wood as for metro brakes. Yellow birch blocks are cut to length, then the shoes are cut to their final shape and a serial number indicating the cutting date is printed on them. They undergo a double impregnation process: first they are immersed in pressure tanks of peanut oil - it is more tolerant of the high temperatures observed during braking - then they sit in the open air to allow the oil to impregnate them evenly. After a month, they are impregnated with fireproof salt to make the shoe more difficult to burn.

[@gabrielv.4358]

Fully DIY brakes, who doesn't love that? That's amazing.

[@cossiedriverrs]

I spend all day replacing the entire rear braking system on a 1961 UK Morris Minor, and then, for fun, I watch this :-) Great work guys, I think my brakes do work a little better than yours, and mine are drums... Keep up the great work!

[@TrojanLube69]

You spent all day replacing drum brakes ? I would spend max 1 hour-30 min and that’s if I have to get additional parts. I have done both including replacing brake lines under 2 hours.

The springs are the worst tho, I gotta give you that. If you don’t have the right tool it will take you hours.

Lignum Vitae is one of, if the, hardest wood known to exist, but it is rather pricey. It needs metalworking tools to work it, but it would be very interesting to see how well it would have performed. The biggest importance with brake parts is to use dissimilar materials to generate the friction, eg in the early days, steel or iron drums/discs versus asbestos shoes/pads. Nice little experiment!

[@TKC_]

Lignin vitae was used mostly for bearings in the real old days on hard maple shafts with animal fat lube. I work on some old equipment and will occasionally still come across wooden brakes and clutches that are still in service from before brakes switched to asbestos in the 1920s and 30s. There were various woods used. I have a book on it but by memory on iron wheels willow had the highest coefficient of friction. White oak was also common and poplar had the highest coefficient of friction that is little affected by oil on the brake wheel.

[@johno9507]

That's not entirely true, the aircraft I work on (B747, B767, A330/340) all use Carbon/Carbon brakes where the pads and disc material is the same.

[@aleksazunjic9672]

Lignin vitae is self-lubricating. It would last longer but it would likely brake worse than beech.

[@dickard8275]

And trains use iron brake shoes on iron wheels

[@dangeary2134]

@@dickard8275 these days they use composition shoes. Even printed in the side of the car near the trucks. Comp shoes. Whatever it’s made of, it’s some tough stuff. The wheelsets are all steel now, too. I used to hauled them, and got a good look at how they were made.

[@stul4013]

loving the brake cam from the inside of the wheel arch did anybody else notice the custom bottom arm setup welded to the original balljoint... love it ! haha

[@wdtiger]

You're not feeling a lot of heat in them because they are burning and instantly shedding the material. The hot stuff is on the floor. I'm more impressed that the glued together rotor peices didn't fly apart.

[@WellBehavedForeigner]

[@matthewf1979]

What’s happening is called ablation. Wood was actually used on early re-entry spacecraft because of its insulation properties and the carbon production delays the ablation process. It was obviously a one time use heat shield but it got things done without incident. The wooden re-entry shields were replaced with an engineered material fairly quickly.

[@lazarusmunien2087]

what amazes me the most is that the rotor is mad of 2 pieces of wood joined together held with just wood glue and it took all that torture

[@KristoferBrozio]

The way the pads break, maybe try making them with the grain so the grains are wearing down and going in the direction of spinning instead of grain towards the rotors and basically rubbing

[@DoctorZSwarner]

What if you made a rotor out of friction material, and pads out of steel?

[@ruikazane5123]

Use a clutch disc for the rotor. That would be nice to see!

Everything is friction material.

Its all about friction and heat dissipation. Solid wood does not burn it cokes on the surface. The major problem will be the friction disc to pad.

Спасибо Мистер Гараж 54 Очень простой в изготовлении карданный генератор порохового газа для экологических автомобилей Lada с угольным заводом. Дым собирают винтом турбокомпрессора и хранят в напорном баке, если бензин нужно экономить с помощью рядного карбюратора, в поплавковой камере которого дым можно сжижать эханолом и CO2, то это легко сделать. Для этого необходимо последовательно соединить дроссельные заслонки с тросовыми противовесами двух последовательных карбюраторов. На двигателе - дровяной карбюратор, а за ним - бензиновый карбюратор. Не забудьте перед напорным баком подключить фильтр масляной ванны с этанолом. Если в камере карданного вала больше нет места для древесной муки, то затвердевайте содержимое по желанию и удаляйте сталь внутри (химически) и снаружи (механически) синхронно.
