BOUGHT BOUGHT BOUGHT.

Going to hit them with a 3,000psi air compressor and see what happens.

Tearing of space-time continuum? Maybe....




Is this thing on?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I wonder if there's a special way that they have to be welded to keep it balanced.

Maybe just putting them in the leads of a stick welder and touching them together?

I think I'm gonna try to make one of those.

It's been nice knowing you.





Kidding..In the video description he said 800 amps were used to fuse them.

Cool.  800A would take a while in my opinion.  We use high current resistance welding all the time to weld silver contacts onto different materials, and we are in the 5000 to 12000A range for a couple milliseconds.  The heat comes from Ohmic heating (I^2*R*t).  I should try to make some.

I'm happy with the two I already have even if they don't spin so well

maybe if you have that old guy weld them together and blow on them, like in the video?

I can assure you an old man blowing on them will not get them spinning...maybe ascending...but not spinning
