The Power Of Friction, Exploding a Brake Disc in Slow Motion

It seems like destroying things on the internet is almost becoming it’s very own category. One of the most recent trends to get in on the action is the use of a hydraulic press to devour just about anything that the folks behind the press could manage to get their hands on. Whether the items being crushed be valuable or worthless, curiosity has certainly propelled this trend to an all new level.

Even though these kinds of videos still garner some attention, it looks like those behind them have begun to pick up other ways to crave their hunger for destruction. To be honest, the methods have managed to get a rather creative spin with simple things that you find around the shop.

This time, we check out one of the more popular hydraulic press channels going down a road that is destroying everything as they have gotten their hands on a car that looks to be junk otherwise so they dig into it to see what they can do about putting some of the parts to the test to see where their breaking point lies.

Check out the demonstration below that applies the maximum amount of pressure to a brake disc, sending parts of it flying every which way as the constant friction applied to it makes this thing pick up some intense heat until the part can stand it no longer!
