I'm sure i saw a video of that (or at least similar) but can't find it on Youtube now.

Sure wouldn't want to be near it at any time. The videos of truck tyres exploding in cages is scary enough.

The videos of tires exploding scare me a little. I work with high pressure ( > 3000psi) cylinders, and seeing what damage maybe 100psi can do really puts it into perspective.

It might be a bypass valve. Many cooling systems now seperate the engine from the rest of the cooling circuit to improve warm-up times.

In the last week I've had two of my hoses for my gauge set pop at ~300 psi or so. Loud as gently caress and all it did was breech a little 1/4" rubber. Lost my hearing for the ear closest to it for a few seconds.
I can't imagine what having a tire do that would be like.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LET YOUR BEER FREEZE, DAMNIT
For anyone wondering, this is the sort of thing you use to change a tire on one of those mining trucks:



Sorry it's far away I'm not supposed to be taking pictures. It picks 'em up and rotates them around to get into position and line up the holes. There's like 20 lug bolts and the wheel maybe only goes on one way. With one of these babies you can pop the wheel off, undo the rim, remove the old tire, out the new one on, reassemble the rim and then slap it back on the truck. With two guys working efficiently you can get one tire done in the better part of a whole shift! They have six tires!

It almost seems more efficient to have a bunch of spares already made up so you can swap the wheel, get the truck going, then deal with replacing the tire. This is probably already in practice, though.

That would make sense, but also probably cost a bit of money that could be used for other things, like making profits look better for shareholders.

It may very well be at a place that has their poo poo together. Downtime directly equals lost profits, often costing the company more than what they would have spent to solve the problem before it happened.

Yeah, looks like a timing chain link and a piece of the guide. Not good.
