[intro music] welcome to the beyond the press channel! today we do long-awaited car disc-brake destruction test video. and, we are going to use our youtube-car. it has seen better days, and we decide that it doesn't need four brakes. [laughing] it's so slow that we can explode one brake, and still have lots of fun with this.
3d printing salt lake city, so we are exploding this brake over here. and, because the plates that i used on, like, bicycle brake video, it has only about 11 kilowatts, and i calculated that that isn't enough for car brake, so i decided to use car itself to spin the brake. this car has front-wheel drive and no locking differential on the front, so if one tire up only it's going to spin.
so we are going to lift this us and take the tire off so you can see the brake, and then we are going to spin the wheel using the car's own motor, and... i am going to rev the engine up and use full-throttle and then just brake until the brake explodes, clutch gives up, or engine breaks, or something bad is going to happen. [engine starts, revs up] [engine slows, gears grind] [engine speeds up] [engine slows, stops] [hissing] [speaking in finnish]
ah! this side was spinning more easlily! there is...pfft, ha! [laughing] check this shit out! we were doing burnout on this side. so i made accidentally burnout on the left side tire, but i placed the steel part between the tire to prevent that happening again, and here is the same tire with thermal camera, so it is about 100 degrees, or a bit less. quite hot anyways, and you can still see rubber that is sprayed on the car, and the brake is very hot.
[engine running] [engine revs up] [engine straining] [pop, engine revs up really high] [anni:] whoo! [lauri:] yes! [anni: speaking finnish] [lauri:] holy faaking shit! [anni laughing]
[instrumental heavy metal music] [music continues] [music ends] [steam hissing] yeah! this went really well! ho-oly shit. the brake disc is gone, and the brake pads are gone also. so, i have just checked that all the slow-motion footage is okay and it was excellent, and now is time to inspect the things a bit better, so...
it didn't melt. it, like,... i think this was the first part to go, and then after that it was quite well unbalanced, and it stayed there for a while, and here is the, like, center-piece, and...this is very interesting. i'm quite sure that these should be round, and now the...these screws are, like, buried itself to the brake- disc center-piece. so that is quite interesting. and here is the thermal video about brake explosion, and unfortunately we didn't have our camera set up to the high temperature range, so this is just from 0 -40 to 160 degrees celsius, so the brake is going to be over that all the time, but i think this is kinda cool. you can see a lot of different things that you couldn't see with the higher temperature, because that is from 300 to 2,000, so there isn't anything else than just the brake-disc showing
on that setup, but now you can see the smoke coming out, and sparkles dropping out of the brake, and flames and stuff like that, and i think the brake is going to explode quite soon... yeah, [chuckles] here it was, and now you can see the gopro burning on the lower side of the screen. and because i wanted to film the brake thing with the high-temperature range also, we exploded the left-side brake also after we done the right side, and here it goes. now you can see the temperature range is from 300 to 1,200 degrees celsius, and... i think this took about as long as the right side, but this time the brake actually didn't explode, but we lost gear-box for some reason. there was a loud bang and the motor revved up and i was thinking that, "yes, the brake exploded!", but then i came out of my car and the brake was just fine. and the motor was just fine, so there was something exploded on the gear-box.
but i think this was about as hot as the brake that actually exploded. anni was looking outside of the car and she said that it looks like it's going to explode at any moment, and now it's going to reach its maximum temperature. it was about at 1,100 at this moment when it stopped for some reason. and now it's started to cool down, but as you can see you cannot see anything else than the brake-disc and the pad. the brake-pad was about 300 degrees celsius, so that was also quite hot. [engine turns on] [anni: chuckling] i don't have brakes! [anni: laughing]
yeah, but the car is working, and it sounds very nice. yeah, but... this was great success. [anni:] yeah, i think this was the craziest thing what we have made. [lauri:] yeah, but maybe.[anni:] maybe. [lauri:] and this wasn't ea-...[anni:] totally crazy. [lauri:] and this wasn't easy thing because first it didn't work, and then that one piece of steel in between that other wheel made the whole difference. first, i thought that if the one brake is stationary it can hold by just the brake, but it didn't hold, but...
[lauri:] yeah, end result...[anni:] this is great success. [lauri:] yeah, the end result was great. and if you liked the thermal camera image and you like brake-test we have new channel where we film everything with thermal camera, and we tested different bicycle brakes just like in real life riding your bicycle down a hill. nothing like that, but it's still great video, so go check that out. it's in the...[anni:] channel is "thermal guys". [lauri:] ...and it's in the end-screen. yeah, but i think that is all for today. [anni:] thank you for watching,[lauri:] and have a nice day! [car running] we have only one key here, and it's inside the car, and the doors are like this, so what the fuck? [anni: laughs]
[thunk] [anni:] ah-hahahaha-aaahhh! [thump, glass shatters]
[sniffles] [grunts] [lauri:] ta-da! [anni:] well done!
