Also why friction welding is best when both pieces are applying force with opposite spins
5
u/OneHunted 4d ago
Can you explain this one to me? What is the advantage of, say, two motors going say 1000rpm in different directions over one motor going 2000 rpm in a single direction? The friction should be the same, just in a difference frame of reference. Is it a safety thing of how fast you should spin one side before it breaks, the cost of two cheap motors vs one expensive one, or something else?

Not necessarily. Depending on cost factors and parts being welded, having one part fixed can be preferred. Still a fascinating method for welding. One of the only ways to weld dissimilar metals. The parts truly weld together across their entire surface.
Worked sourcing hydraulic cylinders in the past, supplier suggested we switch to friction welding rods and ends for more strength and durability for our applications. Really cool stuff!

Orange sugar beats Blue sugar. Why?

u/Suspicious_Comb8811 4d ago
Because orange is the drill and blue is the stationary object, and I don't know what I'm talking about but I'd assume if the roles were reversed, the orange would have created hot goo. This isn't a scientific take... just my very unprofessional hypothesis.

I guess a physics person (whatever those are called) could explain why the spinning one has the advantage.

u/REO_Jerkwagon 5d ago
not a physics person but someone who likes candy. (MC Pee Pants anyone???)
The top one is higher-quality and denser, I think it's a blow-pop. Bottom one looks like a cheap dum-dum.

u/DontKnow_WhoIAm 5d ago
I wouldn’t say the higher quality one is the one that doesn’t melt. That blue one that melted more is probably gonna have more flavor, because it melts easier. But it’ll also not last as long. It comes down to preference imo. Both of them are made of sugar and other bad crap, so it’s whatever poison you like better
22
u/Psicopom90 4d ago
the top one is just harder
11
u/VR_Has_Gone_Too_Far 4d ago
More specifically, has a higher melting point. Once the blue lollipop hits its melting point, the friction is reduced on the liquid lollipop and it no longer heats up nearly as much.
Say the bottom lollipop has a melting point of 350 degrees F and the top has a 375 degree melting point. The friction heats it to 350, the bottom one melts first and doesn't get any hotter.

Spinning one is cooled by the air it passes through as it spins is my guess
16
u/FirexJkxFire 5d ago
Yeah as a mediocre "physics person", it confuses me because surely relative to the orange one, the blue one is spinning and pushing into the orange one.
It appears that the "screwing" is really just applying heat in this scenario. So maybe there is something about spinning that makes it less vulnerable to heat?
This is all assuming of course they are identical- but would could just be stronger
56
u/ImaginaryBluejay0 5d ago
Spinning one is air-cooled by the spinning motion so it's not heating to melting temp as quickly.
54
u/tomato_soup_ 5d ago
I’m not saying that’s not a potential variable but the rate of heat diffusion into the surrounding air is likely far slower than the frictional heating from the rubbing of the two candies. More likely there is a difference in the composition of the two candies (think hardness, specific heat capacity any other variables that might also be relevant). While the velocity in fact plays a role in heat transfer at solid-fluid interfaces (see: Stanton Number) I would imagine that the main factor at play is that the top candy is slightly harder and maybe has a slightly higher heat capacity or melting temperature than the lower one. Of course I can’t really verify this since I don’t know what the difference between the two are, if any. But the observation about the relative fluid velocity increasing heat dissipation into the air is spot on!

u/Qwqweq0 4d ago
As a non-physics person: the spinning one does not have any advantage over the stationary one because the forces that affect each one are the same. The blue lollipop getting destroyed faster means that it is easier to melt and does not have anything to do with it not moving. If the lollipops changed places, the blue lollipop would most likely still be more damaged than the orange one

What's the specific physics explanation why momentum in one object makes it stronger than a stationary duplicate?
12
u/tomato_soup_ 5d ago
There are lots of reasons why this could be the case and it’s a little hard to tell from the video because we are missing some information. I wrote a comment above that goes through a little bit of the reasoning, but… TLDR: increased relative fluid velocity increases heat flux between a solid fluid interface but also there are important factors such as the compositions of the two candies, which may or may not be assumed to be identical.

It’s called convective heat dissipation. Here is shown as air-based thermal management, common with drilling.
The motion of the drilling lollypop promotes air cooling, it evenly distributes frictional heat across its surface and preventing hot spots forming. The stationary lollypop has no air cooling, and generates heat from the friction, causing it to melt.
