Titanium Strength

[cybervand]

I did see that this video was done without saying a lot of thing (e.g carbon fiber is a fiber and not meant to be squashed like that) but seeing a big 2 ton truck slide around on it is awesome!

[jablooglius]

Engineering at it's finest

[pROTPANDA]

What a stupid fucking laugh. argh-argh argh.

[kILlz0n35017]

@pROTPANDA LOL

[wowwee1278]

chuck norris could barley make a good movie

[WDMinecraft]

chuck norris, still is stronger

[xXTheDeathReaperXx]

@WDMinecraft my name is chuck :)

[WDMinecraft]

@xXTheDeathReaperXx ya but your last name isnt norris.

[xXTheDeathReaperXx]

@WDMinecraft yeah obviously but im still talented like him.

[WDMinecraft]

@xXTheDeathReaperXx nope, your last name has to be norris.

[xXTheDeathReaperXx]

@WDMinecraft don't upset me or I'mm tell my parents about you.

fucking moron science isn't limited to Numerical equations even though they can be used as a translation of them. Science tests reactions the reaction would be the tube being crushed by the weight of the car. And aerodynamics is the measurement of resistant to an object moving through a gas. I guess you don't know what that is. Sounds like you need to go back to "Material Engineer" school.

[Krauser012345]

@JRMCNEA *COUGH* Dumbass *COUGH* what I didn't say anything.

[JRMCNEA]

@Krauser012345 Take a college level Chemistry or Physics course and then maybe you can get a fix for that "cough"

[MrQualia]

@JRMCNEA you can check out the aerodynamics of my dick reciprofuckingcating through your cranial cavity then asshole. or did that one flow over your head?

[MrMartinLee1]

like the way he laff

[Gunner3210]

That is not how you measure strength. :(

This is what happens when clueless people want to do science.

[JRMCNEA]

@Gunner3210 It is a way to test Material strength.. It provides data on the load capacity of the materials being tested which is a test of strength... Industries actually use tests like this to test Material strength. Its called load testing.

This is what happens when clueless people try to seem smarter then they really are.

[Gunner3210]

@JRMCNEA

I assure you that industries do not run trucks over tubes to test materials. They use loading machines to test material strengths.

The carbon fibre is an anisotropic material. So obviously it will break when you make it into a tube and run a truck over it. Try a tensile test with carbon fibre and titanium. I assure you, the CF will win and by a very large margin.

I am a materials engineer btw. So shut your mouth. You don't know anything.

[JRMCNEA]

@Gunner3210 Then you know that different tools can be used for different tests. And In scientific experiments you are able to use scenarios that covers the characteristics being tested.He was testing the load capacity of the pipes. (in this case the load would be the truck) And CF is more aerodynamic then titanium but that wasn't the experiment he was doing. So to be a material engineer trying to seem important on online you make your self sound foolish so shut your mouth. cuz you sound stupid.

[Gunner3210]

@JRMCNEA

Hey idiot, let me explain. Scientific measurements deal with numbers. Tensile modulus, shear modulus, ultimate tensile strength, etc are what you measure with experiments. They are numbers that you measure. Running a truck over a pipe may seem like science to you, but it is not.

And "aerodynamic"? wtf. You are a fucking idiot. Please stop talking, you are only reinforcing the fact that you are a complete moron. I am not going waste my time arguing with you.

[brickandfanal]

Totally pointless demonstration. This is not how you measure the strength of material, especially carbon fiber. As the name suggest, there is fiber in the material, and that fiber is aligned in the direction where the force is expected to be applied. In the others direction? Well, it's no stronger than the resin in witch it's impregnated. Pound for pound I’ll take the carbon fiber if money is no object.

But if money is an object? Chrome –Molybdenum steel.

[1crazyfocker]

@brickandfanal you make a good point, but it was made for average ppl, but it would be a good example of the strength of the material when force is applied from directions other then designed. and beside if you stand the tubes/pipes up and placed force onto them, how will they fail? kinda like this demonstration with a sideways force. but hell its a bike and the forces i applie to it will be little so i would take the cheapest and lightest material

[lingojac]

@brickandfanal It was a qualitative demonstration, not a quantitative experiment. He accomplished his task, which was to demonstrate a tube's resistance to yielding depending on what material it is (titanium or something else); the video was trying to go anywhere beyond that. Granted, he did not differentiate between tensile, compressive or shear stress. But there's no need; the video was meant for an audience that does not have a background in material science.

[xXTheDeathReaperXx]

@brickandfanal fuck off man

[godfist787]

Dude! I wasn't even thinking about rating...until I saw that titanium WOW!! thumbs up.

[iSynOSX]

ohh god a nice demonstration of the strength of titanium who cares what the point is? here's an idea just FUCKING WATCH IT AND ENJOY IT. trolls. 

[mindthoughts1974]

That's awesome, I would sure like to have my 1/8th scale race buggy drive axles made of this type of Titanium :) thank you for making this video. How much would that tube of Titanium cost?

[AKAtheA]

so this is what hummers are good for...

[WIKTOR75]

@AKAtheA dont look like an hummer to me

[thisisobvious]

try showing this to a real metallurgist, perhaps also include that "this material is used on airplanes" to the argument. he'll likely then beat you with some good old 1020 steel.

[marek0086]

@thisisobvious~ HAHA!.... he went from WEAK Aluminium to TITANIUM!!

This is just pointless!

[FuckinCrazyness]

well if you run over your bike in the drive way it will be okay.

[adsahar]

Nice demonstration but when exactly (during a ride) do you apply forces as strong as the weight of a truck? So. ultimately the demo might be cool and all but actually pointless. It's quite obvious that titanium is the strongest stuff there is.

[etofun]

@adsahar a large jump could generate alot of force, maybe not as much as the weight of a truck, but i would rather have a bike capable of takig more punishment than i can dish out, than one that can barley take it

[jrlpurnell]

That was EXTREME!!!!!!YES!!!
