Tested Dyneema (UHMwPE) Tapers BUT the TEUFELBERGER Brummel PULLED OUT!
🕑 Added 2022-07-27 00:43:46 +0000 UTCEARLY ACCESS - COMES OUT TOMORROW - I've been working on 3 dyneema break test videos and they all have some gold sprinkled in them all. Thank you for your support because this is how NOT to get sponsored. I hope Teufelberger doesn't get too mad but they probably ought to change their pdf instructions.
I was just trying to test tapers and how much of a difference it made and then Teufelberger's splice came undone. BLOG HAS MORE DETAILS & DATA https://www.hownot2.com/post/taper-tests

Yes. That's exactly what I'm thinking. AND this is where the 10,000hz load cell shines because I'm gunna need a fast dyno. But i have to figure out how to mount that thing and preserve the calibration if it wants to swing but is partially mounted with a 1" diameter screw all the way through the beam through the top eye, which could lever it against the lower part of beam. Nothings easy but I'll figure it out.

Drop Tower!
I think people are also under the impression that the brummel does the locking under load but we see it is still the bury. I have a theory that the rate of pull can drastically change the strength. Hope to test that soon

Me too! Also, I'm super glad you did the bury length test of the Brummel. I was under the mistaken impression that the extra bend bought some reduction. Thanks for setting us straight!
I am shocked it doesn't lower the strength with the extra bend honestly

YES! I have been wondering about Brummel splices forever. Awesome video, thank you!
