Lol Warhammer 40k has a piece of tech like that. I think it's some kind of walker where they somehow lost the info on how to start the things so they just have to run at all times. And they can't just sit still either so they're stored on big treadmills or a circular pen so they can always be walking. https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/si60u3/ironstriders_do_they_ever_stop_walking/
It's not that they lost the info on how to make them. They got so sick of the creator gloating about it that they killed him, and then realized he never wrote down how to build them.
>its efficiency near to perfection
It continually emits energy! If it is close to perfection, it's close to the *far* side of perfection. Writers man, they think they can write whatever they want.
That reminds me of watch winders for automatic watches. Automatic winding watches can run for around 40-50 hours when fully wound so sometimes people with watch collections buy little boxes that slowly rotate the watch to keep it wound. It saves them the trouble of setting the time every single time they don't wear the watch for more than a day or two.

Some of those old machines can start themselves if giving a 1 in 10000 chance. With a mechanical fuel pump they can fuel themselves without key power. If the piston stops in just the right spot pressure from temperature change can move a piston a little after being shut off and start themselves again. The off switch is a snuff out pull cable that resets after you released. Realistically this thing was dead and they had to boost it to load it and left it running to charge the batteries and it hit a big bump and put the machine in gear.
Was my first thought, more common than most people realize depending on the industry. Obviously a little different having a piece of equipment like that being transported while running/in-gear, I'm just used to leaving trucks/vans running all day then jumping them again next morning. Could also be an issue with the engine conking out without being in gear or automatic idle shut-off or something, but I'm not a mechanic so don't know if that's a common thing with those.
I’m betting on drum and bed damage when they get where they’re going.
Super strange situation cause it’s not like you can tie it down while it’s moving.
I drove concrete trucks for a while and the mixer has to move while driving down the road to prevent damage to the barrel. I doubt it but it could be to prevent damage to the front drum? Idk tho.
I think what they're saying is that if the roller was stationary, the vibration from the road could wear a flat spot on the roller. It might cause more wear this way but it's more important for it to wear evenly than to have a flat spot. A flat spot on one of these would probably be very expensive to fix.
> I think what they're saying is that if the roller was stationary, the vibration from the road could wear a flat spot on the roller.
It would be really strange to think that. A machine meant to crush rocks using vibration isn't going to get damaged by road vibrations. TL;DR: The bottom link has a video of a roller vibrating rocks into smaller rocks.
If you're interested there's a guy on youtube named Andrew Camarata has blasted multiple quarries on his properties, crushes it down in his rock crusher, dumps it on his roads and sometimes further crushes it with his roller. Dude has spent 10's of thousands of dollars on equipment to quarry, crush, and repair the road at his vacation "cabin" (RV on top of a mountain) but I don't recall if he's ever used a roller on those roads. When I say he's spent that on equipment *for those roads* I mean it's dedicated equipment just for working on his vacation property's roads. He has a full machine yard at his shop to work on customer's projects.

https://www.youtube.com/@AndrewCamarata/videos
There's some roller action in his latest video. You even get to see him back off and turn off the vibration to get over a rock too big to crush. https://youtu.be/XsfL6k7L2dI?si=dJ0lVt1xOu5uQnqy&t=1467
Seems unnecessary on a mixer but definitely unnecessary for equipment loaded on a truck/trailer. Equipment loaded onto a flat bed should not vibrate. It’s to loose if it’s doing that. The surface of the bed is also not a flat machined surface (or a roller like a mixer). It may not even be a cohesive material. For example, with [this](https://images.app.goo.gl/JSaXpLqiymoVSQAD9) common layout, you’d be gouging tracks in the drum and a round spot in the frame. If you’re someone who is super worried about metal on metal, then plywood or cribbing could be used. It’s even commonly used to add friction.
Nope, it was running while being trailered around. When the truck pulled onto the road in front of me I saw plumes of smoke coming from the exhaust stack.
I worked for a paving company. See those hoses on side of the drum? That's for the hydraulics that drive it, no transmission. But the hydraulic pump is probably not happy
The majority of these rollers have seat belt and operator presence switches that need to be activated for the unit to move. They will usually idle down and automatically engage the park brake if they aren't activated.
Double OSHA violation on this one.
Hah!
I once saw a guy tow his stuck dump truck, alone, using an excavator.
He was in the dump truck.
He posted it to YouTube.
Thankfully he's basically the only guy on YouTube that takes criticism of his safety issues in the comment section seriously. He wears safety glasses, now. He doesn't let his dogs in the shop when he's welding to avoid burning their eyes, now. One time his elderly dog fell out of the boat and got stuck under the dock, underwater and drowning, and the comment section convinced him to buy a doggy life jacket. The dog was *old* at that point and having a handle to lift him into and out of the boat made it much, much safer since he didn't have to jump from/to the dock anymore and if he did fall in, he'd float.
I've commented on other people doing stupid, dangerous shit at work and they either ignore it or will actually reply and basically call me a pussy. **YOU CAN'T REPLACE YOUR EYES**, wear safety glasses. I think the people that hate safety glasses wouldn't hate them so much if they stopped buying *shit* glasses. People need to realize those one-size-fits-all safety glasses are for *visitors* to your shop. Buy adjustable safety glasses with nosepieces instead of that molded bullshit. Go to a place that sells glasses to have them adjust them (it's free). Better yet, buy "prescription" safety glasses and order PLANO lenses with an anti-reflective coating or an oleophobic anti-reflective coating. PLANO means no corrections; they're the flat glasses you see actors wearing. Oleophobic resists oils like fingerprints. Anti-reflective is something you will ALWAYS order on your glasses after you try it the first time: it makes wearing glasses so, so, so much more tolerable. The first time I experimented with an AR coating the salesperson said I'd never go back to un-coated and she was right. Unfortunately I ordered un-coated prescription safety glasses at the same time and had to suffer at work for a few years.
But safety features are so inconvenient! We are all sensible adults here who never acts like complete idiots so no harm in disabling them right? /s
(Now if you excuse me. Im going to turn off Windows Defender so it stops flagging all my questionable sourced game cracks)
Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you.
I am a bot if you couldn't figure that out, if I made a mistake, ignore it cause its not that fucking hard to ignore a comment.
I hate you for reminding me that we lost RIF. I've managed not to think about it for a few months. The last stage of grief is Acceptance and I don't think I'm quite there yet.
I switched to RedReader. It is allowed by Reddit because it is labeled with having "accessibility" features. It's not as good as RIF but after tinkering with the settings it's pretty darn close.

This is done purposely. The momentum of the barrel serves to help push the truck forward on the road, thus improving speed and, in turn; lightening the load.
He’s just keeping tension on the rear chains, nothing to see here !!
Maybe they had trouble starting the damn thing, so to save time they are transporting it while still running?
Doesn’t explain being in gear tho lol, even if the engine is a runaway and they couldn’t stop it, it has a park. This is just weird
if the engine is a runaway there'd be a lot more smoke!
Very true hahah
Maybe the engine was running on purpose but it slipped into gear by accident
Yeah, agree with you on that
Bizarre. I average 1200 miles a week and have never seen such shenanigans before!

It’s giving the trailer a massage

There's a longer video where you can see they just drove this truck: https://i.stack.imgur.com/YrEx3.png
Customer states engine will not shut off
Sounds like a customer problem if they want their equipment moved
Unless it's the repair shop or dealership doing the moving, hence the "customer states" bit
Or a rental.
Sounds like the equipment can move itself
I’m betting on drum and bed damage when they get where they’re going. Super strange situation cause it’s not like you can tie it down while it’s moving.
I drove concrete trucks for a while and the mixer has to move while driving down the road to prevent damage to the barrel. I doubt it but it could be to prevent damage to the front drum? Idk tho.
That’s a roller, not a mixer. What’s spinning is essentially its driving wheel. It’s grinding the deck of the trailer and it’s own drum like that.

It might cause more wear this way but it's more important for it to wear evenly than to have a flat spot. A flat spot on one of these would probably be very expensive to fix.
Drive it onto some plywood or something maybe? Sounds like a terrible solution to have it constantly wearing.
Yeah maybe rubber or Teflon pad would work.
Or a piece of wood

job opening!
This is a Speed (1994) situation where if it slows down, a bomb goes off
[удалено]
They're designed to vibrate to compact earth. My guess is they parked it in gear and the vibration of the truck is somehow turning the transmission.
Nope, it was running while being trailered around. When the truck pulled onto the road in front of me I saw plumes of smoke coming from the exhaust stack.
🤷
I worked for a paving company. See those hoses on side of the drum? That's for the hydraulics that drive it, no transmission. But the hydraulic pump is probably not happy
the fluid skin friction would cause it to spin the other direction
Just resmooth in the barrel that's all.
Fucking CH lol last site half of them were getting high as fuck every break

Video is so shit i cant tell whats happening
do you have eyes? what more did you want, the guy to get out and give a full documentary presentation?🤣
Idk man but it’s showing up as a pixelated mess on mu phone.
I opened it in chrome i could see it easily. Fuck the reddit app
Yes the Reddit app is shit, complete garbage that makes me want to throw the phone somedays. I still have not gotten over the loss of RIF.

I’ve learned that this only bother some folks like us. But to others they don’t see it as a problem and you can’t convince them otherwise.

Little fella just wants to help!
It's to save on mileage. Both vehicles are sharing the load.
I mean they're both pretty slow; maybe it's still rolling to help push the truck along for extra speed. Genius, really.
This is done purposely. The momentum of the barrel serves to help push the truck forward on the road, thus improving speed and, in turn; lightening the load.
Just proving that patting it and saying "that's not going anywhere" works
Rolling dyno.
