    Use wood as for metro brakes.
    Yellow birch blocks are cut to length, then the shoes are cut to their final shape and a serial number indicating the cutting date is printed on them. They undergo a double impregnation process: first they are immersed in pressure tanks of peanut oil - it is more tolerant of the high temperatures observed during braking - then they sit in the open air to allow the oil to impregnate them evenly. After a month, they are impregnated with fireproof salt to make the shoe more difficult to burn.

    Lignum Vitae is one of, if the, hardest wood known to exist, but it is rather pricey. It needs metalworking tools to work it, but it would be very interesting to see how well it would have performed.
    The biggest importance with brake parts is to use dissimilar materials to generate the friction, eg in the early days, steel or iron drums/discs versus asbestos shoes/pads.
    Nice little experiment!

    • @TKC_
      @TKC_ 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Lignin vitae was used mostly for bearings in the real old days on hard maple shafts with animal fat lube. I work on some old equipment and will occasionally still come across wooden brakes and clutches that are still in service from before brakes switched to asbestos in the 1920s and 30s. There were various woods used. I have a book on it but by memory on iron wheels willow had the highest coefficient of friction. White oak was also common and poplar had the highest coefficient of friction that is little affected by oil on the brake wheel.

    What’s happening is called ablation. Wood was actually used on early re-entry spacecraft because of its insulation properties and the carbon production delays the ablation process. It was obviously a one time use heat shield but it got things done without incident.
    The wooden re-entry shields were replaced with an engineered material fairly quickly.

    I believe the metal that the wooden rotor is attached to is acting as somewhat of a heat sink so therefore it's not burning as fast

    Well that makes a hell of a nice smoke effect, but I was hoping for barbecue 😁

    Sweet! What happens with wood pads on steel rotors? They used to use wood shoes back in the days on rail cars and mine cars and such. I think early automobiles had wooden brake shoes too because it was so common already, even horse drawn wagons had them

    I have a cool suggestion. So you guys made and inline 6 from two Lada engines. How about making a boxer 4 engine?

    It would be cool to try acrylic brakes and pads or bullet proof glass pads and rotors

      @patrick nagle A lot of that would depend on the melting point of each material. If it's higher than the heat generated by the friction then they would work, as long as they don't get a impact from a foreign object, i.e. a rock from the road.

    How about some brake pads made out of glass, or silicon chips :)
    Or maybe some harder wood like guayacan wood would be best :)

  • @schrodingerscat8621

    Because there is more rotor surface area than pad material.

    I'd like to see this exact test again with slots or holes in the rotors to vent the gasses. Will still wear out really fast but they might perform better 🤷

    How about steel brake pads on steel rotors? See if you can weld them together from the friction alone.

    • @TheJunky228
      @TheJunky228 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I imagine it would be similar to friction stir welding

    You're basically machining wood. It doesnt get for the same reason your work piece doesnt get hot while its on the lathe (The chips get hot and then flung off). The stuff thats getting hot here is the stuff thats sitting on the floor smoldering.

    @1:10 I predict the rotors will be the first to break, because trees do not grow in a way suited to the creation of disks which can take heavy rotational forces.

    My great grandpa used iron wood for brake pads for his model t. They were poor old farmers and couldn’t always get lead too poor new ones.

  • @boogie153
    @boogie153 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Perhaps you should glue the brake pads to a metal base like the disks. And use iron wood or teak for disks and pads, it's very hard.
