MrcabooseVG you realize there’s different type of brakes right ? And nothing is natural lol cause iron is formed in a factory and I never ever heard of iron brakes on a car
I have a Ford Taurus SES, in about 20 thousand more miles it will need its transmission replaced, so I would say he can have it for $2000 in check form or $1000 in cash.
The Montreal Metro has used wooden brake shoes successfully for over 50 years. They use yellow birch, and soak it in peanut oil for a month and then in salt water. The advantage of the wooden shoes is quieter operation, a more pleasant smell if they need to be applied hard (most of the breaking is electrical on the motors), more environmentally friendly, and most of all very little wear and tear on the steel wheels which results in considerable savings. Note that the metro runs on rubber tires, but has steel wheels for safety, switching, and maintenance operations. The main wear on the steel wheels would be the breaks, and by using wooden breaks they generally do not need to be replaced during the lifetime of the car (40-50 years). Since the Montreal Metro is entirely underground, it would not be subject to the weather, road salt, and dirt you would find in automobile operation so those might be bigger problems for wooden breaks.
I once visited the facility where they manufactured the wooden break shoes for the Montreal Metro. Quite an impressive set up, and the peanut oil has a distinctive smell when emergency brakes are applied.
Lol its all about how well you drive. I have bought the cheapest possible pads everytime "under $20" and never gotten less than 2 or 3 years of use out of them. Most of them lasted as long as i had the car. I dont understand how people are just tearing through brake pads.
The montreal metro use wood brakes on all of the wagons. They use cherrywood impregnated for 6 months in peanut oil, then treated with ignifuging salt, they last about 80000km. Take note that there is not much distance between each stations, so lots of braking. The wood brakes have the advantage of not wearing the steel wheels and to be quiet. Since they make them on site, it is also very inexpensive. Plus, the metro being completly underground, it help to keep the toxic dust low. Wood, salt and peanut oil, all that can be eaten and eliminated by your system without any issue at all.
TheOneAndOnly FlamingPotato didn't you see he was holding the brake and giving it gas that's doing more stress on the brake / wood than getting to 60 miles an hour and slamming on the brakes I mean come on man he's holding the brake building pressure not letting up as he's giving it gas that's why it wore out made wood shavings and almost caught fire Sorry all you grammar nazis i know its not proper but fuck you anyway you all read it just fine :) talk/ text sucks ass

Great video, I was just about to start a long alpine descent when I noticed my pads were worn out, so i got out my penknife and whittled some pads out of pine. I've just fitted them and about to set off, this video probably saved my life, many thanks guys!
This was a great video! Here in Butte, Montana there are several of the old mines that used wooden brakes to stop steel cables as thick as a big man's wrist on spools as tall as a man down in mile deep shafts. Getting those to smoking would make for one bad day.
Lmfaoo my grandpa used to make wooden brake pads back in the day when they were poor af in Bosnia, except he would burn the side that touches the rotors
Anyone remember the old episode of Thomas the Tank Engine; Thomas and the Breakdown Train? An engine that had sodden brakes couldn’t stop, breaks ablaze, and ran off the rails!
Came across this video and others and am happy that even though at the moment there are tensions between our two governments we still have some things in common. That is we like to try crazy things and to my surprise there are people that want to try to do things that are really off the wall. Keep the videos coming and thanks for proving that we share a sense of doing something strange or different for some fun and let's see if we can make something work out of the ordinary.
"Good morning, dear. I installed some new brake pads on your car. I'll see you tonight when you get home from work." "Aww, that's sweet. Thanks so much!!"
Yes, that's predictible, wood is a combustible and is not that structurally strong because of the grain. Wooden brake shoes were fine on horse carts, and even then...
There was this guy that baught a Mercedes from a rome family thinking it was a good car and it had a v8. After a few miles it would not run anymore and it was a horrible noise from the rear. Turned out that they put sawdust in rear axle and it had pistons made of oak
Old Norse brewery it didn't even last 2 minutes and it never sounded like a normal engine. A wooden cylinder head lasted less than 30 seconds th-cam.com/video/1Th1Ek-pIPk/w-d-xo.html
I had to make an emergency repair by making brakepads out of wood. They worked fine and a week later when I got new pads I was surprised that they had not worn much at all.
Shop Dog will work just fine on a car. It's just like the gun debate. It's all about the person behind the wheel. Not the tool. Unless ofcourse your a tool lol
Wagons and carriages moved relatively slowly and the brakes didn't have to be applied often. That was a benefit because wood doesn't dissipate heat well. And even then, due to the slow speed of the carriage, there wouldn't be much kinetic energy to dissipate. Kinetic energy increases at a geometric rate as the speed of the vehicle increases. If carriages had gone 70 miles per hour, they'd never have been fitted with wooden brakes.

So you tell me ceramic is healthier to breathe in when it's burning then Camp firewood. Id have to say that is prob one the most idiotic things ive heard even my zero mechanically inclinded girlfriend knows that.
EyeNeedaShot DrugZ if it gives of carbon monoxide, then yes. Since carbon monoxide is lethal. New break pads doesnt contain asbestos so its way less harmful than the old pads
awesomefacepalm Your right it doesn't contain asbestos but go stick your nose near smoking brakes after you've been driving it hard and breathe it in, an tell me it is better than breathin in burnt wood as if you where camping. No way comparable...
Try pads made from baked ceramic clay. Pads made from various melted change, bronze, or aluminum plates, mesh reinforsed concrete pads. Although sponges and banana peels wouldn't fly.
Life hack: How to start a fire using your car disc brakes. 1. Get piece of flat wood about 5/8 thick. 2. Use jigsaw to cut into shape of brake pads. 3. Remove asbestos pads, (bad to breath) and replace with wood pad. 4. Apply break and gas pedals at the same time. 5. Fine wood shavings will appear and the friction will ignite it. 6. Take flaming wood and put it in wood pile to start it on fire. Accelerated version. 7. Soak wood pads with lots of gasoline.
I had a go-kart with wooden brakes as a kid. You just cut some 2x4 pieces about 10" (250mm) in length and bolted them on, and they'd just rub against the rear tire tread when the brake pedal was pressed.
Wooden brake pads huh it sounds like an old car dealers trick to make the car feel good for the first test drive that's like let's see what other tricks do car dealers do to move plunkers off the dealership lot yes sawdust and oil in the differential and also to sawdust and oil in the automatic transmission to make it real smooth shifting on the road and let's say another old trick what car dealers will do is tic a battery that's barely hanging on in battery life they'll take the battery and clean it up real good and spray paint it with black spray paint to make it look like a brand new car battery oh I forgot to mention to another trick what car dealers will do when tires are just about showing those wear marks don't take a cutting tool and cut just a little pasta wear marks to make the tires look very serviceable on the road still that's one of the many tricks that car dealerships will use.
No. We would never do that, especially not in Australia because WHS and all that would be up your ass in no time and before you know it, byebye business, reputation, money, trust and employees. No dumbass mechanic would risk that.
Chixyz nein I remember this one story I read in a magazine one time I don't know what part of the country in China but they make replicas of a Ferrari and try to smuggle them in different parts of the world and the brake pads on those fake Ferraris are made out of compressed vegetation this was back in 1998.
Vintage cars (mostly before 1920) often had wooden wheels rather than wire wheels. I'm not talking about brakes; just the wheels. The problem with them is that wood doesn't dissipate heat well, and the properties and performance change when the wood gets hot. Wooden breaks would overheat almost immediately and then stay hot for a long time. But in this clip, the car is being driven in the fucking Arctic which would help a little. Try driving it with wooden brakes on a 90 degree day.
Just cement will likely crack and then fall apart and then fall off. Cement mixed with fibre-glass. That should do the trick. Yeah! Way to go Guys! Please, DO IT !!!
My request is simple! Please send me those use pads made out of wood! Because you did something on this video I've always wanted to do. does pads would make for one hell of a conversation starter
Brandon Allen Brakes work by dumping heat, ie. Converting kineric energy into heat which can be lost to the environment. If you use normal brakes excessively, they become red hot, and when they do, they don't stop the car from moving. These wooden ones will catch fire, which you know. What you don't know is that thsts likely to happen when you're going at a fair clip...
Awesome video awesome translation that tool to compress the caliper was amazing I just use a C-clamp that looks like a C-clamp and a pair of vice grips had a baby a really big one
El Bee Um, you think so... most people are aware of not the way,, at least any one that can take even the tire off is realizing this is the experiment that they claim even on the video.
I have independently tested this and can confirm similar results. I used that nice hard oak they build pallets with. It will get you from point A to B, provided there are not too many stops between them. As bonus, nice smoke smell lets you know they are working.
I've wondered about this, looking at my car's brakes (an old VW Super Beetle, fitted with Ghia-style disc brakes on the front) thinking of how it would be pretty easy to put a block of wood in place of the brake pads. These were made of a low-density soft wood, probably pine (that's what 2x4s are usually) but I could imagine that if using a much harder, denser wood, something more similar to the normal brake pad material in hardness, (oak maybe?) it might actually work decently well. Not as well as regular pads, but I could imagine it might even be semi-workable. I wouldn't try it, but would be an interesting thing to ponder. I'd suggest these guys re-try it with a harder wood, see what happens.
They used to use wooden Oak brake blocks on horse drawn waggons, railway wagons and steam locomotives in the old days. However as technology caused speeds to increase they used leather clad brakes (leather won't burn) and then sintered iron. For road vehicles they went from leather to asbestos until the 1980's. Modern motorcycle disc brake pads and drum brake shoes are ceramic and sintered iron

MaxTheKanuck yea I was amazed they worked as well as they did . would not like to use them in real life though
I think roughing up a mm strip across the brake disc would keep the wood from polishing and make the pads work a lot better for longer

4. Apply break and gas pedals at the same time.
5. Fine wood shavings will appear and the friction will ignite it.
6. Take flaming wood and put it in wood pile to start it on fire.
Accelerated version.
7. Soak wood pads with lots of gasoline.

These were made of a low-density soft wood, probably pine (that's what 2x4s are usually) but I could imagine that if using a much harder, denser wood, something more similar to the normal brake pad material in hardness, (oak maybe?) it might actually work decently well. Not as well as regular pads, but I could imagine it might even be semi-workable. I wouldn't try it, but would be an interesting thing to ponder. I'd suggest these guys re-try it with a harder wood, see what happens.
Fascinating....... Thank you for sharing your experience!..
They used to use wooden Oak brake blocks on horse drawn waggons, railway wagons and steam locomotives in the old days.
However as technology caused speeds to increase they used leather clad brakes (leather won't burn) and then sintered iron.
For road vehicles they went from leather to asbestos until the 1980's.
Modern motorcycle disc brake pads and drum brake shoes are ceramic and sintered iron
Is anybody else just waiting for their skin to crawl when they hear that wood squeak?
Icy road helps. If you lock the wheels the wood doesn't heat. The tires do.
I am subscriber #9067. Its crazy because I was born in 1990 and Ive been hospitalized 67 times for accidents involving foreign objects and the inside of my body.
"Got the car from my neighbor" - gotta love you guys :P
it would be interesting to see this with different woods... and maybe acrylic too
Love those balanced CV shafts
Cool experiment. I'm amazed there were no actual flames.
That was fun to watch lol. Disappointed they didn't burst into flames though.
Remind me of the horse (donkey, mule, or cow) cart in my home town, a country side, they do use wood as brake peds.
