does telling a old joke in a different language make it a new one?

pointless display, IMO. The amount of torque those things out out would destroy almost any brake setup, especially since it's still under power.

In my limited knowledge of mechanical engineering, or that it's 25 years since I last did physical science, the force required from the brake calipers needs to be equal to the inertia of the rotating object in order to stop it. Correct?

yeah, I think so. Or, in non scientific terms - a metric ****-ton.

 

No way that the brakes would have been able to do that, or the force of those motors behind the lathe. Those things are STRONG.

Of course it was pointless - the title gave it away :-)

 

It is amazing to see how much abuse a brake can handle before it fails. No human will ever hand a brake that much abuse.

 

Maybe a really really overweight sumo wrestler with a penchant for looooooooong straight downhills and only one single piston brake....
