I work in the QC department for a big red tool company, and while I personally don’t do any of the sorts of stress testing shown in this video, I got to tour one of our facilities that does. Looking forward to my future of cold chambers and drop tests! Unrelated- one of the most important things I’ve learned watching Adam’s videos is that often, eyeballing a measurement really IS close enough. I do a lot of leatherwork, and “yay long” for something like a shoulder strap will get you closer to home and faster than attempting to turn that into a figure in inches or centimeters.

At one point in my life I was in charge of destructive testing of products our company purchased from our vendors. one of the prosucts was castors, wheel units, I would take sample castors and slam them into the parking lot. I became know as the Master Castor Blaster.

When they were building radial engines for aircraft during the war there were over 30,000 parts in each engine and each engine was assembled and run for hours and then disassembled every part checked. If any part showed signs of where it was replaced, it was reassembled and run again before it was crated to go out and be put in an aircraft.. One of my customers is a testing facility and it is quite wild. Millions of cycles is the norm in many cases.

@zachmoyer1849 Ай бұрын

yeah i wondered that too but he did say that some of the data is from being on a trailer. Maybe they found that the extra weight actually reduces vibration and its more brutal to just run without the extra weight.

@MikkoRantalainen Ай бұрын

@@zachmoyer1849 I was wondering if they made an error in the measurement. If they recorded acceleration with somebody sitting on the seat and thendo the same amout of acceleration without the extra weight, the forces applied to suspension is going to be less than the original amount. For pure shaking such as "let's see if the bolts get loose" there's no difference but removing driver weight from metal fatique testing would be a huge mistake.

Lots of attention and care goes into ensuring that the tests that our customers run are as accurate to real world situations as possible, and the data generated can be used to make informed decisions on why a system failed or isn't performing well.

11:00 Big question about the methodology in their "1 year" wear test: doesn't performing that wear cycle in 1 hour cause some major variances from real world wear patterns? Like, if you achieve that wear over the course of 1-2 years, your blade is undergoing hundreds of heat cycles, which I imagine changes the hardness parameters in various areas of the blade. So wouldn't that gradual change in hardness cause the blade wear patterns to evolve over the course of its life? I imagine that running all of that in one continuous session gives you an inaccurate example of how these things wear, no?

@skydivecentralnorthcarolin8554 Ай бұрын

Whenever testing methods are developed there is correlation between real world failures and wear, this shows 1 type of test performed on a product to perform validations and it is coupled with other testing such as field testing, "actual usage" and multiple other tests in order to make final decisions. So in short what is shown here is just 1 of many tests performed on this product before it is placed into production.

@anthonyrich1592 Ай бұрын

I can't help but notice they don't have a 100kg "Buster" piloting the mowers in the test frames. Seems like that could make a significant difference on something that only weighs 250-500kg itself.

I worked at three companies as an Engineering Technician (engines, motorcycles and generators). If you are an auto mechanic/technician (or similar) and you want to try something else, try applying for Engineering or Experimental Technician jobs. If you don't already have it, it helps to be at least somewhat proficient in electrical, machining and welding. Many manufacturers are going to have an engineering lab or "product development center" or "R&D lab" at some level. To me, it was a lot better than working under a car that has melting snow dripping on your head. Thanks Adam, this is an interesting channel!

Love this behind the scenes looks at product testing. When I worked a Dish, they had this monster box shaker. They would test different packaging configurations, using different foams and different receivers and put them through all kinds of hell... Think of ace ventura delivering that box at beginning of the movie. This way they know it will get to consumer safely and in tact. It was interesting they didn't outsource it, but by keeping it in house they had endless access to testing and ideas.

As a swede I have to say, the pronounciation is almost right. One thing: the 'u' in 'hus' isn't probounced that way, although spelling of words like 'thus' and 'bus' suggest otherwise. Think of the word 'deuce' or 'truce' just with an 'h' instead of a 'd' or 'tr'. Without the "j"-ish sound (like use) from, say "hues" (which sounds like 'jews' with an 'h' in front of it. 'u' as in 'glue'. Husqvarna.

Engineering the last few decades went from 'How long can we make this last' to 'How cheap can we make this to last for the warranty period?' for the bulk of manufacturers by order of the bean counters. Engineers across the board want to design the best product possible of the best materials, it's in our DNA to do so. Where things go off the rails is when accountants get involved in product decisions. Destructive testing is always best done in-house, but the above will end up making the overall decision in most cases, which frustrates the crap out of me. At least in some instances, the better product might get the green light for a commercial/industrial variant of the product vs the lower-end consumer version.
