Plant Based Lubricant VS Brand X on a Friction Machine! #diy #nhs2024

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video starts by introducing 'Gear Hugger' plant-based, eco, non-toxic lubricants. A friction machine is then prepared for a demonstration. First, a conventional lubricant (from a blue can) is applied to the machine's bearing. The machine is started, and weights are progressively added. As more weights are added, the machine's noise level increases, indicating higher friction. It seizes up after four weights are applied. The bearing is then removed, revealing significant wear. The machine's surface is cleaned, and 'Gear Hugger' lubricant is applied to a clean bearing. The process of adding weights is repeated. With 'Gear Hugger', the machine runs noticeably quieter and handles all the available weights (a full stack of approximately 10-12 weights) without seizing. After this demonstration, the bearing lubricated with 'Gear Hugger' is examined, showing minimal to no wear, indicating superior protection compared to the conventional lubricant.

Goal: Showcase the effectiveness of Gear Hugger lubricant against conventional alternatives.

Tools and materials

  • Friction Machine — Demonstrating the friction-reducing and wear-preventing capabilities of lubricants
  • Weights — Applying load to the friction machine to test lubricant performance under pressure
  • Conventional Lubricant — Initial test to demonstrate typical lubricant performance and wear
  • Gear Hugger Lubricant Gear Hugger — Demonstrating superior friction reduction and wear protection

What they say

So I want everybody to do something like now, a bigger thing? Yes. What is a friction machine for, right? We have weights to it. We're starting to feel more pressure in the bearing. And it actually seized it up. Four weights. That's how much you could have had. Four weights. You can see the wear on that. And now we're moving it to a completely clean surface. And now we're going to do it again with the gear-hugger. You can kind of raise the beard a bit, right? And it's getting quieter. So that is all the weights in the whole stack. And it's running quieter than it did, I think, way before it even started. And the wear on that can flip over. That is a night and day difference.
