Air Dremel CD Expirements :D

[CaptaiN_JacK]

So i found a site with these extreme dremel expirements. the guy put a cd on the bit of a dremel and spun it until it flew off. so i decided to copy him, except not with a dremel, but with an air "dremel". it spins a LOT faster than any dremel ive seen, and since it runs off an air compressor, it wont lose any juice. so anyways i wrapped electrical tape around the bit until a cd fit snug on it. i brought it outside and let it rip. when it got up to full speed i nudged it off with another cd. the thing went to the ground and rolled about 75 yards, it was insane. when i looked at the bit, i noticed it had ground a line through the tape all the way to the bit (about 1/2 inch of tape) in about 10 seconds of spinning.

i tried it again, but this time when i got it up to full speed i threw another cd at it. the thing shattered into a million pieces, and one piece i saw fly about 40 yards. i was relativly safe because the centrifical force caused the pieces to fly in a vertical plane, and not all over, but just in case i wore safety goggles.

and i also made a Strafer bb gun out of pvc pipe and an old bb gun barrel. it fires around 50-60 bb's a second i would guess, mainly because of the vortex valve in it, which makes the bbs spin and fly out the barrel. it hooks up to an air compresser, so i can pull the trigger and it rips. they have quite a bit of power too (just ask my friend whom i shot about 10 times in the *** :P) its so incredibly fast, that when i just tap the trigger, the minimum bb's that come out are 4-5, i havent been able to pull it any faster. its fully auto if you havent caught that yet. there are sites with directions for it if your interested, and it cost me less than $10 to make. and i got all the aupplies from home depot.

I've done this myself -- rediculously fun. I've made it go around rooms multiple times...ie across the floor, up a celing, over the ceiling, down the wall, repeat.

they did something like that on "mythbusters". except they were spinning the cds so fast that they were exploding(i think they used a modified router). pieces of the cds were embedded into the dummy they had next to the router.

i think im going to try and make wings on the cd so that when i hold the cd/dremel horizontal it will fly off like a helicopter. when im not lazy i will try it.

I used to do this in my room over the summer, I had a towel sut up as a 1/4 pipe, so it would shoot up, and come back then go back up and do a few loops like that. It was pretty cool.

Then one time, i cut the cd so the entire outer edge was spiked co. I feared for my life when i tried that one, lol. It would just hit the ground, and shoot off through the air.

The craziest experience I had with one though was when i got a nice chink lodged in my guitar. It was spinning so fast or something that it went about 2ft. backwards and hit my guitar body. The CD exploded, chunks of plastic everywhere, I was totally speachless. I had no idea what happened. When I finally gained my composure i looked at my guitar and there was(and still is) a nice chunk of plastic from the CD lodged a good 1/2" into the wood. I still cut myself on it once in a while.
