It's surprisingly hard finding the Yankee dryer explosion pictures I remember from training to show what an actual bad day at the toilet paper factory looks like. Much more explodey.

Does anyone know the story behind this? I've seen it a few times in this thread but never caught a real explanation. It looks like molten glass, but what are they normally making and how did it go wrong? Like, why is there a machine capable of spooging out a white hot death rope in the first place? It seems like such a fascinating and terrifying failure mode.

The process is supposed to work like this, but if the bar gets snagged or off track it will shoot out of the machine.

Aren't all those videos fake or at least staged? A car nut friend of mine was ranting that it'd be impossible because something about the drive shaft and wheels not spinning individually.

It would depend on the type of differential, i think. :shrug:

Meredith Baxter-Burnout posted:

Correct. An open differential would just let all the power go to the airborne side. A driver-controlled locking differential would allow things to work just fine. Not entirely sure how a mechanical locker like a Detroit would work, nor how a limited slip would respond, as I'm pretty sure they still require at least some amount of traction on the "slipping" side to work properly.

The tire change video is very tricky because the rear wheel isn't spinning but the vehicle is obviously continuing to receive drive power. A locking diff would not allow this, and it's not a full floating axle so removing the axleshaft entirely isn't an option.

I have an idea though. The rear left wheel stops almost immediately after it goes airborne. I suspect what they've done here is they've disconnected the parking brake on the right side and maxed it out on the left, then as soon as they tip up on two wheels they yank it. Parking brake locks the left wheel, right wheel continues to spin at double the usual speed, spider gears get more use in five minutes than they'd normally see in a lifetime.

Either that or it's fake.

edit: the front wheel spins when the guy uses it as a step, while the rear doesn't. I'm more behind my idea now.
