Hah!Elviscat posted:Always good to see a beautiful example of fatigue crack propagation over time (shiny bit with the crystal structure visible) followed by rapid olastic failure of the remaining bit (the grainy part) You just gave me a "well I'm not gonna break it any worse" moment, so I disassembled the saddle. It's an interesting crack in 3 dimensions (to my eyes, at least).

A standard pallet is 48" x 40" and an average brick is about 8" x 3.5" x 3.5". That gives us around 66 bricks per layer, 330 lb at nominally 5 pounds per brick. Three layers of a pallet would exceed a Prius' rated load even before accounting for the driver.

Cojawfee posted:Quick google says maybe 500 pounds No, google says 500 bricks per pallet, with the pallet being 1500-2000 pounds. That's going to be a very short pallet too, likely no more than 3-4 ft high. In the trucks, they'll probably be double stacked with something a bit lighter on top to make full use of the space. (sidenote: I hate when the warehouse double stacks pallets without taking into consideration the fact that bay doors aren't always as tall as the truck... PITA taking a forklift into a trailer with a roll-up to break them) From someone who works in a grocery store and sees the pallets coming in... for comparison, a pallet of potato chips is still nearly 300 pounds. A pallet of cereal is around 800. Pallet of water is heavier than some cars (close to 3000 lbs). I would bet a pallet of bricks is heavier than water, but it's likely a much shorter pallet too. Pallets of soil are ~1500 lbs and <4 ft high. I'm surprised that cute little tiny power jack could handle it. Those are usually rated for 3k, there's no way that was a full pallet. The beefier ones we use at the store level are typically rated for 5000-6000, and they struggle when they're pulling 4k. I've seen a 2nd gen Prius loaded with ~1k before (Amazon Prime Now, coworker delivered a shitload of water that someone wanted right the gently caress now), it was squatting a bit, but not nearly like that. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:23 on Oct 22, 2020 |

The bricked Prius reminds me of being a teenager, filling a Jeep Grand Cherokee with 200k miles full of bricks from the front seats back, and driving it on the suspension bump-stops about 15 miles. For some odd reason the tranny vomited all its fluid up when we did that, so we filled it with Lucas Stop-Leak, and kept driving it.

In a Prius, probably a bit more complex, but still the transmission. It's why you always use the parking brake. The transmission pawl is the failsafe, not the other way around.

It’s a bit of metal in the transmission that locks the gears when in park, it’s expensive to fix at a shop but really just cause you’ll have to drop the transmission and take it apart a bit.

Even so, it's usually a really beefy part. On a Ford truck transmission, it's like half an inch thick. I wonder what it looks like inside the Prius transaxle or if they even use one in lieu of some kind of ratcheting tooth setup.
