Formula 1 pistons are Forged from ultra light high strength Aluminum alloys like 2618 grade racing alloys, then coated with thermal barrier and anti friction surface treatments, each piston is designed to survive combustion temperatures and inertial loads that would destroy conventional engine components within seconds.

At around 20,000 RPM, the piston is reversing direction roughly 333 times per second, meaning it is constantly accelerating and decelerating under combustion pressures while experiencing peak inertial loads in the range of 10,000-15,000 g equivalents in high performance racing conditions.

Each piston in a Formula 1 spec engine can cost roughly $3,000 to $7,000 per unit, not because of material alone, but because of the machining precision, weight balancing, and microscopic tolerance control required to keep it stable at that frequency.

What makes it remarkable is not that it moves fast, but that it survives repeated directional failure hundreds of times every second without breaking apart for 5000+kms or extreme racing.

@gatekeepchicago Probably happens in Hammond Indiana too.

@EchoesofWarYT Incredible.

[Keith Runnells @KeithRunnells]

Back in the saddle again!

[Keith Runnells @KeithRunnells]

@FloraLuzz_ Yes except here is Wisconsin where a Lib judge wants to dismiss the case against lib Hannah Dugan.

@RyanWeather May 19? I’ve seen this movie before!

@fortun8fool Oh 💩

@MikeBales Negative. Mike has been in bed since 9:30 and has a job to go to tomorrow morning to pay for his mortgage and as a Gen X refuses to call in sick because he has a hangover. Even if he was hungover he is still going to work tomorrow cuz that’s what we do.

@MikeBales I did for a few years, it takes a lot of work and time with clean up.
Just sold all my gear. And I’ve recently cut back on heavy drinking.

@MikeBales And I need you more than want you.

@AJBayatpour Maybe sell Tommy’s train and invest in street sweepers and vacuum trucks to clean the storm basins?

[Keith Runnells @KeithRunnells]

@RonRgatijnet @FrankBr05713205 But do you have a left handed model like I do?

[Keith Runnells @KeithRunnells]

@Ryanmariebach78 Circle back.

[Keith Runnells @KeithRunnells]

@FrankBr05713205 Yes and yes

[Keith Runnells @KeithRunnells]

@RestrictedDaily I miss these guys.
