The internet (and those of us that watch some of the content on it) is an odd, odd place…
I watched the whole thing. Yes. Pretty sad.

I had to watch it to. Thanks.
They are lucky it didn’t fail at that high rpm. A small piece coming off at that speed is going to potentially cause some damage. I’m thinking mostly eyes.
Pretty cool. The friction welding he showed on the shaft at the end of the video was not a surprise. What was a surprise was how litlle of it there was and that the shaft still turned.
I used to make air driven dental drills. The ones that scream like a banshee when the dentist uses them on you to drill out the cavity. Those buggers we made would run anywhere from 450 to 600 thousand rpm. Never thought to take a video of one being tested.
Wheels
That was impressive!
LEGO is the toy that just won’t die. It’s passed down to the next generation.
This shows why.
Wowza- pretty hardcore…
I was fascinated by all the gearing combinations.
Nice! The friction reducing materials did a lot of good there!

Next step, attach it to a hamster exercise wheel and see if the little fella can keep up!
I’ll get on that, soon as I replace the battery that runs said cold-fusion reactor.
I also watched the whole thing.
LEGO is great. Very durable materials and well made.
To be honest I didn’t expect it to survive RPMs over 10000 though. Of course at that point the friction heat makes it melt.
But several 100 RPM are not a problem. Impressive.
I thought that was his reactor…
