Puhlease. I can snap aluminum with almost no torque at all! I have a PhD in that...breaking bolts, shearing them and even splitting bolts (yes, I have cracked it along its axis) On a serious note, this was very interesting, especially how that torsion rod spun around so much. Also to note that the "spiral" is not quite a spiral as the slope changes, so changing the function from a 3d function to a 2d one, I would imagine its parabolic, depending on the internal resistance of the material. (Im not an engineer, Im a math PhD with mechanical engineering experience, so this was a really cool video.
