Extreme Dremel CD Experiments

Sam Barros' Power
Lab features a number of interesting and bizarre experiments. The
scientific experiments on this site appear well thought out and some of
them are quite amusing.
Sam was concerned about the speed of some of the new high speed CD Rom
drives, which can spin a platter at a pretty good clip. To test the durability
of CDs he put them in a Dremel tool, where they spin at 35,000 RPM and
achieve an edge velocity of 492 mph / 792 km/h (Sam's figures, not mine).
So sit back and relax as Sam demonstrates his scientific skills in the
window that will open when you click below. Then take a tour of the rest
of the site. It's pretty interesting.
