He turned on a washing machine and then threw a large rock inside. He writes:
I still laugh at this one, the way it exploded,
I am in trouble for doing in a few plants…Oops.

took awhile to get there…
I giggled then snorted then laughed
And then felt sorry for the washer. I mean, just faithfully doing what it’s supposed to do…when WHAM. Had a fit it did!

honestly, neatorama… the quality of posts lately are rather questionable… this is just one more in a recent series of completely pointless, uninteresting and rather dull posts. hope the phase passes soon. cheers!

hey neatorama, I really enjoyed that post and have absolutely no problem with it – 5 stars. ^^

That was so funny. When I saw the word ‘explosion’, I thought fire and flames. But seeing a washing machine have a grand mal seizure was the best thing I’ve witnessed today.

That’s just cruel. And surprisingly wasteful of what looked to be a reasonably new washer.

From the sound of it, the machine was shot before the rock was tossed in.
These residential front-loaders are not designed to last more than about seven years or so.

The drum inside was bouncing around and making a lot of noise and the belt drive was overheating.
Couple hundred for repair.
As MarkC said, unless you spring for the high-end front loaders, the cheap ones do not last.

Pshaw all you naysayers, this is a wonderful object lesson demonstrating Newton’s 3rd law of motion-what better a way to imprint and preserve an image as well…The Maytag Grand Mal

My first thought was, “Hey, that’s a nice front-loader! Don’t trash it!” (I need a new washing machine…)
Then it made me laugh.

Good way to visualize just how much energy is stored in a spinning centrifuge.
This is just your household model.
Imagine what happens if one of those ultracentrifuges in a laboratory breaks….
I´ve heard several stories about rotors snapping off the main axle….

I wonder what would have happened had they put 32 glowsticks in it?
@ noua, ted, myra and gryt > Why don’t you submit your neato post to the upcoming queue?

It’s jackholes like that who are the reason why we have product warning labels that are 5 pages long.
