Home made flywheel explodes and almost kills it’s builder.

I just watched dude live when he should not have.

This is not AI he blipped the throttle and the thing blew into many many pieces. He was untouched and unharmed.

I’m looking into how to get a video link from a Facebook video to post here.

Whats with the liquid and balls and pirate ship steering wheel?

A man can do anything stupid and succeed, so this does not predispose me to fear the exploding flywheel myth and suddenly become too scared to leave the house. Nice looking polished flywheel but I’m with Edwin….

…what the heck am I looking at? The pirate ship wheel appears to be a ”crown” of sheet metal but the ball bearings and water …I bet those were part of the explosion

Just post the Fecesbook link here, no worries. I bet you 10 to 1 he posted it to YT though.

I‘m looking for Scott’s video this morning and cannot find it again. I do not know if it was uploaded to YouTube I will search.

The liquid and ball bearings were a fluid balance attempt the fluid ring and ball bearings is what exploded not the flywheel. He had his hand on the throttle blips the gas and everything blows to absolute pieces.

What? Loose steel balls? Thats pure genius.
Add extra shrapnel to the mix. Like bird shot for really big birds!
