Odd how no one likes to play in this thread.

Good video there.

 

[gf beranek]

Right on. Only 30 more years to go.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Ha!

 

[gf beranek]

I'm surprised I lived this long, really. Funny, the last 20 years of my life have passed by so quickly I reckon I should be 85 or 90 by tomorrow morning.

I find WD-40 and air do a good job of cleaning a bar sprocket.

And using a torch is a fun way to get rid of button batteries.

How toxic is that?
I usually just do compressed air.

 

[Nutball]

The battery? IDK, but i wasn't brething any noticeable fumes. I'm highly conscious of fume breathing.

I tried without WD-40, but the thick bar oil would keep things sticky, WD-40 thins it out and helps unstick particles, and helps the sprocket spin faster to fling junk out.

Fun Fact: that bar sprocket reached 32,000rpm

 

[squisher]

seems like a bar tip isn't designed to spin that fast.

[MasterBlaster]

Agreed!

seems like a bar tip isn't designed to spin that fast.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Cool tipper

 

[Marc-Antoine]

I'm surprised that the sprocket is still there.
I've done that before too, but I chickened and stopped the acceleration well before your speed level.


Ha! Some strange things occur sometimes in the editing, Butch will be unhappy

 

[MasterBlaster]

I'm always happy.

 

[Nutball]

It may not be designed too, but that doesn't mean it can't do it all day. And that was a super cheap bar too, very soft metal.

I figure if a little tungsten fan in a thermos sized model turbine can withstand over 250,000 rpm, this smaller steel sprocket should handle 32,000 pretty well. I didn't expect it to go that fast until I calculated the pitch afterward from the video. It sounded around 5900Hz, 11teeth.

 

[Marc-Antoine]

You got the speed by the sound on the vid ? Awesome !

Try hang gliding they said... it'll be fun they said...

Beat by five hours! Pay attention, Brett.

 

[Mellow]

OMFG! How incredibly stupid of me.

 

[gf beranek]

Somehow I missed the first one, but by God I got to see the second. My lucky day.
