How Strong Is R8 Brake Disc? Hydraulic Press Test!

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

Last week's fly messed up our schedules so I had to pick this shorter backup video for this week. I have longer video for next week filmed that is really funny :D But as said we are traveling in US at the moment. We have had amazing 3 days in Florida and now we are driving to Texas for next 4-5 days. If you have suggestions where to stop and what to do please let us know! Tomorrow we are going to arrive to New Orleans and I can pick up some spot and time where you can meet us if anybody is interested :D we like to meet local people so that would be great. I will make a community post about the exact location and time tomorrow!

[@WoodworkerDon]

Safe Travels. 🚗

[@marvindebot3264]

I hope you are going to Texas to meet up with Ordnance Lab.

[@gth042]

USS Alabama battleship museum might be along your route, if you wanted to see some huge-ass steel stuff (maybe fun Short opportunity). Perhaps a viewer can recommend a swamp tour by airboat. Y-all don't have alligators 'round those parts', and it might make for a nice break. Whatever you do, I wish you improving health and a fun time. Best wishes from North Carolina, US.

[@meinkamph5327]

If you laid the rotors flat, or stack up the pieces, They it might explode. Actually it should explode because it's brittle

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]

Detroit has A LOT of machinery and machine shops! Henry Ford museum has more historic manufacturing/industrial equipment than ANY other single place.

[@Charlesb88]

They went from Disc Brakes to Disc Breaks.😂🤣

[@chrismayer3919]

HEEHEEHEE😅

[@quantumss]

Good one.

[@RennieAsh]

Was a brake disc, now it's a break disc

[@chrismayer3919]

@@Charlesb88 I’ve heard of pressing your brakes, but this is WACK! 😛

[@Adam-nv9zo]

"This is definitely important science" 😂. You guys are awesome. Great video, as always.

[@CasperExtension]

I don't know how I got here, but I'm glad I did

[@WoodworkerDon]

Welcome. You'll have fun here.

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

I think this very thing every day :D

[@eqprog]

Blessed be the Algodrithm

[@gth042]

You have a lot of catching up to do. Enjoy the ride!

[@reggiep75]

It's usually how it happens.... All the time.

[@attichatchsound-bobkowal5328]

Seems the robot has become the world's most expensive static camera stand. Are they planning on using it for some dynamic video shooting?

[@ArchAngel2021]

I work in a steel mill, we use machines like this to form steel struts. I keep telling them it's for science, but they won't let me run gummy worms through our strut mill or furbies through our zinc plater 😂

[@LoneStarMillennial]

Hannah is on the wrong side of the camera lately! Part of the fun of the channel is seeing and hearing her sweet voice and face! Hope yall are feeling better, from Texas

[@eightballsidepocket]

Absolutely fascinating that they both broke into nearly perfect quarters!

[@MegaMrDT]

Eh, makes perfect sense when you think about it for 2 seconds

[@VcSaJen]

Video idea: convert linear force from the press into rotational force, then try to twist various objects.

[@OkellaWood]

Welcome to the States!

[@danielscarbrough4363]

I hope you guys are enjoying your time in the States, greetings from Arkansas!

[@DukeLeduke]

Crush some cybertruck stuff next.

[@timothyjuarez5306]

Hope you guys get to feeling better.

[@FixingWithFriends]

That was actually surprisingly cool. They broke in a very unique way.

[@anthonyrodriguez6710]

I needed this for the morning

[@makehasteBrandon]

Welcome to America enjoy your stay I hope that the trip across the country is impressive

[@WoodworkerDon]

Breaking News from Florida: The Brakes are breaking. (even though the Aluminum is "quite bendy.")

[@uöDIÄiäYÖsuäUöUösuäsuäauöisyå]

When you hear a Finn speak English, you must think Tolkien was under some influence when he made Quenya. Ralli English and actual Suomenkieli are like the polar opposite.

[@daveperala4965]

Welcome to the US!

[@markusurschel1086]

Hello from Sydney Australia love your videos great work

[@spcpitts]

I give you like because it's not a short video.

[@rigormortiz5357]

lol 😂😂😂

[@repeat_defender]

I hope the South treated you well! Hello from Seattle, Washington.

[@Ve-suvius]

You have a great channel. Just saying. 🤘👍

[@CalebAble]

That's cool! Have a great trip! Stay safe!

[@phoenixmacgregor9867]

The cast iron breaks bit during the smelting process they add zinc to give the cast iron a bit of flex before it breaks

[@vlady8me]

Safe travels guys!

[@MDuarte-vp7bm]

That reminds me, I need to change my brakes!

[@Account1746]

We need a new “vwaat tha faak” compilation

[@TonyGingrich]

You should do this experiment again, but with the rotors red hot. At hot temperatures, they should be more flexible and less brittle.

[@jimr7987]

idea for press channel: a while back you did super saturated CO2 video. I wonder how super saturated coke soda and mentos candy would work? Would it go higher than ever before?

[@agresa]

I'd love to see a machine that could spin different objects to the point of total destruction. That's what these brake rotors needed.

[@SatisfyingPuppul007]

🎉Wow I liked the crushing video very much, it was a great experiment💪😱

[@dan2800]

we need to bring back the old external force sensors for this kind of testing

[@johanrheeder1640]

Great video, have a nice day.

[@ZMAN_420]

Very Cool!👍🏻

[@JanneMarcus75]

Put Toyota Hilux brakes. They broke your press 🤣🤣

[@amondavis]

I wonder if you get a rotor at the center bolts together and to see how its structure will come apart. And I'm also wondering if you could take a rotor and lay it flat on the table and then smash it to see how the structures would break in that format.

[@mob1235]

Can you do this with Porsche PCCB ceramic discs next time please?

[@greglaroche1753]

Fun to watch, but nothing to do with the quality of the discs

[@Israelischer_Bobfahrer]

That mouse is trippy as hell ;D

[@scottcates]

It's Smashy-Smashy time!

[@sethvandyke4453]

I have never seen a brake disc except on sports cars with an aluminum center normally the whole thing is cast iron.

[@Craby7979]

What part of Texas are going to? You should do a carbon steel flange and a stainless steel flange like 150, 300, 600

[@woogyx6909]

In our foundry we cast the middle aluminium parts.

[@JosefStepanek]

1:54 "Let's see. Press is gonna tell." Love these words of wisdom. Almost sounds like a new religion 🙌

[@VoltisArt]

Pressed be the worthy.

[@throttlebottle5906]

luckily, rotor crush durability is not the key factor in their design, it's all about how they can survive hard braking rotational forces, without warping, exploding, chattering or being eaten away by common very hard ceramic pads used today. that said, the rotors are usually very worn and need replaced with the pads now days, but they sure stop better!

[@filepz629]

❤️‍🔥HPC❤️‍🔥

[@MSivonen]

Try S8 ceramic brakes next.

[@docskate4312]

Somehow I imagined before that a part like a breakdisc would not do something like explode under pressure...😊

[@lost4468yt]

Put a baby in the press.

[@johumm455]

Have a nice day too!

[@SpaceTech54]

Welcome!!

[@JeraldDelventhal]

Be well and safe. As you are driving, are you planning a stop in New Orleans? It's well worth it.

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

We are going to spend 1-2 days there, it looks really interesting place

[@maintenancebynathan2150]

Stop in Pensacola at the NAS Naval Air Station and check out the Naval Aviation Museum.

[@phonotical]

"that can handle way more, you can see it from the structure"... Seemingly not 🤣

[@nanaki-seto]

LOL "not sure what kind of science this is..." you can bet their is some engineer who makes these sorts of things taken notes and scrubbing the video back and forth to determine the exact way it failed and looking for scenarios where these sorts of stresses could be encountered.

[@CATANOVA]

My German Shepherd tries to eat reindeer antler but it takes a very long time and I have to saw bits off every couple of months which of course makes my wood saws blunt. Could you squash some reindeer antler to see how it breaks with respect to it being one of natures natural high performance materials.

[@andreworlando7374]

Are you going to Demolition Ranch in Texas

[@Adventurous731]

Try Franklin’s barbecue in Austin! Edit: Also, Round Rock donuts for a Very big and delicious donut.

[@Iowa599]

what if you anneal it? can you get it soft enough to bend, at room temperature?

[@bettyswallocks6411]

Did you buy those discs from Temu?

[@SergioRodas-b2w]

Please make a The press vs a piece of paper folded 7 times!!!

[@JoeBlow-wx7ug]

Get larie ahold of DemoRanch and go to the range while in Texas. That would be awesome

[@jjmcoupebmw6557]

380 euros for the R8 rotors in canada

[@smakfu1375]

New life goal: acquire 300 ton hydraulic press and squish things with it.

[@heyarno]

I think the first disc will transfer less heat to the wheel hub.

[@litz13]

Brakes discs are very very strong steel, but they are not made from ductile steel; and so they fracture very easily.

[@chrismayer3919]

The first one reminds me of a semi truck wheel for some reason…

[@puremaledark8305]

Well you figured out how to predictively cut a rotor into 4

[@esjope]

Judging by how the discs fail, it seems they are very high quality products.

[@internet_troll81]

Welcome to USA!!

[@joegee2815]

We call the press fit fasteners "rivets"

[@ArionEquus]

Thermal expansion isn't very much on a brake disk. So a few mm of wiggle room is plenty.

[@Boogie_the_cat]

2:14 uh oh, spaghetti goats ! 🐐

[@julieprevost6640]

You do the Coolest stupid shit I’ve ever seen. I always watch you at my friend’s house. I’ve finally decided that I should subscribe myself.

[@privatesector0422]

I really miss the extra content

[@Forshledian]

0:20 - Well considering I have an R8… the price is exactly the same… and I could have used that…

[@theslowmobros1988]

😂

[@johnhaines6546]

What about frozen rotors?

[@YouCanHasAccount]

I would imagine the brake discs are deliberately engineered to fail in a predicable manner such that they fail before more expensive parts of the car do in case something has gone terribly wrong.

[@UncleManuel]

We get it - "disk breaks". But that didn't *stop* you from doing it... 😁😁😁

[@thomasdaum1927]

Go see the Grand Canyon , a trip of a lifetime ! Guaranteed !…….

[@natemansur]

Try it with them laying down or stack them

[@GrumpyOldGamer9221]

Who's the other bloke? Seen him a couple times.

[@juholankila3599]

Was expecting some carbon ceramic explosion thing. Disappointed af.

[@dimitar4y]

exactly in 4

[@Jeffthermite]

guess the grip on the road is not very good either, otherwise it would be connected to the hub way better.

[@marc_Peterson]

It is a bi-metal rotor

[@brb2jndett254]

Hi im a bot, wow you are amazing so much video here🎉

Lesson here is Keep your car away from this guy

[@Rickhawk1]

Let’s go 🥇

[@Moothos]

The 2nd almost broke in an equal 4 pieces.

[@zonkerr76]

Use a solid rotor not a drilled vented rotor

[@DankApostle]

I have a theory. You are going to Texas to be a guest on the Unsubscribe Podcast. Or am I wrong?

[@Chris-h3j7n]

Sorry bit disappointing but all for science lol I no a good idea giant drill bits have to explode lol

[@immameme]
