    Lignum Vitae is one of, if the, hardest wood known to exist, but it is rather pricey. It needs metalworking tools to work it, but it would be very interesting to see how well it would have performed.
    The biggest importance with brake parts is to use dissimilar materials to generate the friction, eg in the early days, steel or iron drums/discs versus asbestos shoes/pads.
    Nice little experiment!

    • @TKC_
      @TKC_ Před rokem +7

      Lignin vitae was used mostly for bearings in the real old days on hard maple shafts with animal fat lube. I work on some old equipment and will occasionally still come across wooden brakes and clutches that are still in service from before brakes switched to asbestos in the 1920s and 30s. There were various woods used. I have a book on it but by memory on iron wheels willow had the highest coefficient of friction. White oak was also common and poplar had the highest coefficient of friction that is little affected by oil on the brake wheel.

      That's not entirely true, the aircraft I work on (B747, B767, A330/340) all use Carbon/Carbon brakes where the pads and disc material is the same.

  • @ramojo4ramojo436

    Use wood as for metro brakes.
    Yellow birch blocks are cut to length, then the shoes are cut to their final shape and a serial number indicating the cutting date is printed on them. They undergo a double impregnation process: first they are immersed in pressure tanks of peanut oil - it is more tolerant of the high temperatures observed during braking - then they sit in the open air to allow the oil to impregnate them evenly. After a month, they are impregnated with fireproof salt to make the shoe more difficult to burn.

  • @matthewf1979
    @matthewf1979 Před rokem +8

    What’s happening is called ablation. Wood was actually used on early re-entry spacecraft because of its insulation properties and the carbon production delays the ablation process. It was obviously a one time use heat shield but it got things done without incident.
    The wooden re-entry shields were replaced with an engineered material fairly quickly.

    Спасибо Мистер Гараж 54
    Очень простой в изготовлении карданный генератор порохового газа для экологических автомобилей Lada с угольным заводом. Дым собирают винтом турбокомпрессора и хранят в напорном баке, если бензин нужно экономить с помощью рядного карбюратора, в поплавковой камере которого дым можно сжижать эханолом и CO2, то это легко сделать. Для этого необходимо последовательно соединить дроссельные заслонки с тросовыми противовесами двух последовательных карбюраторов. На двигателе - дровяной карбюратор, а за ним - бензиновый карбюратор. Не забудьте перед напорным баком подключить фильтр масляной ванны с этанолом. Если в камере карданного вала больше нет места для древесной муки, то затвердевайте содержимое по желанию и удаляйте сталь внутри (химически) и снаружи (механически) синхронно.

    I had a pretty good idea that it would work, just not how good. The brakes on a model T Ford used wooden brake linings but metal drums. Didn't work well, but they worked.

    They used to use wooden brakes on trains.

      that's right., I remember now hearing the cable car operator talking about how the breaks were made of oak or some other hard wood.

      @@jacklarson6281 I think it's because they used to apply the braking force directly to the wheels and so didn't want to prematurely wear the expensive solid metal wheels trains have.

    I did this years ago . Brake pad fell out of a talbot express van managed to limp to a friends and cut some brake pads out some old skirting board glued to the back plates . Got me home once bedded in youd hardly know the difference

    We did the same thing yrs ago. We ended up using sand paper on the pads and it stops the car very quickly. Haha.

    @1:10 I predict the rotors will be the first to break, because trees do not grow in a way suited to the creation of disks which can take heavy rotational forces.
