Go Bienve!

Indeed! What a madman he is

Nice.

Largo means long in Spanish, so at first I thought that you meant the course was too long and I was like what? The video and the course are so short hahah

Agree with most of your points but....There''s nothing I love more than a huge tabletop by Strait. There's absolutely nobody who can do it more stylishly!

@markbe: No idea about the Saint rotors, never used them, but the fact that they didn't work doesn't mean fins don't work when properly designed and executed. Regarding your melted rotors working better afterwards, no idea about what happened there either, assuming you didn't lose any mass, maybe it had to do with the braking surface rather than heat dissipation, but again this is all just hypotheses. "simple fact is once heated more mass will take longer to cool?" Not really, more mass heated to the same temperature than less mass of the same material will take longer to cool because the amount of energy required to heat it is bigger. Think of boiling a 5" diameter pot of water in a fireplace, and then think of trying to boil one of 500" diameter in the same fireplace. The bigger one will need much more energy (e.g. Much more lumber to keep the fire going for a longer time) in order to boil it. After 5 minutes of boiling the small one you couldn't put your finger inside of the water without hurting yourself but you could do it on the bigger one, so more mass receiving the same amount of heat will be cooler than less mass. About the motorcycles, that's due to overall improvement of the whole braking systems: Better materials on the rotors that dissipate faster, more powerful braking circuits that need less surface, etc. Every technology improves with time and then has to find a balance. Think of the first cellphone ever, super bulky and heavy, inconvenient. Cellphones are much slimmer now, but, the thinnest the better? You'd come to a time where you wouldn't want a phone so thin that it would compromise its stiffness to much and could bend just be simply wearing it inside your pockets, you need to find a balance between thickness and rigidity, which is what I think happens with motorcycle brakes. In the end, I think is good that some companies try to defy the stablished assumptions and try to improve the standards.

You're approaching it the wrong way. The energy that you need to glow the 10x10x10 is much higher than that of the 10x10x1, so there's more energy to dissipate. Now think, If you heated both pieces with the same amount of energy ¿Which would be hotter after a while? The one with the biggest area in contact with air will be able to dissipate heat faster. That's why usually engines or CPU computers have fins surrounding them, to increase the outer area and help with heat dissipation. Hope that helped!
