Greasing them with paintball paint? or they just happen to have a ball of grease that's the right caliber for a paintball gun? Edit: Just followed the link chain and the video was posted on the IG of a company who looks like the grease balls are their main product.
i asked myself the same and wondered, but then figured, with the demand for switch grease balls and the correlated market potential, there surely is a company out there making grease balls. it'd be a good sport to have a paintball gun with a load of these in your truck... asshole driver next to you? grease ball inside the wheel - boom - brake on that side gone...
With the Chernobyl thread, I've been on a nuclear power kick as of late and found this fascinating......
When I was a student there at PSU....way back when.....We could eject the central control rod causing resultant power spike to cause a negative reactivity reaction which shutdown the chain reaction. This happened very fast. To catch the reaction we had an antique thermal paper strip chart recorder. I forget how fast the paper came out of that thing (20 feet per second???) but you'd get a lethal paper cut if you stood in front of it (joking). We ran the recorder for perhaps 2 seconds and had to search through 30 or 40 feet of chart paper to find the blip/spike indicating the power spike. It was perhaps a 1/4" wide. The blue flash was impressive though. I wish they would have shown that in the video too.
Yup. At Sebring those cars were deafening, in a good way. Always loved how Porsche was always "form follows function," and I'm sure the new version will go like stink, but man what a shame about the voice.
You're not wrong. The Porche NA IMSA cars sound fking bonkers. I was at Daytona when they debuted them. What the devil is all this!?
