Amazing rumour about a genuine Conrad 240826!

[Nobbi1977]

Elon Musk only got where he is because he found one at a car boot sale and copied the design for his motors. The Plaid cars only use 2% of the power and look at them.

Is your back that hairy?! 

[SuperChamp82]

The mighty legend is for sale here ! 

 

[Finnsllc]

When was this "treasure" actually produced? Im assuming 80s?

Here's another rumour.....  I heard a Conrad was found in the outback with a huge bunch of lost 3mm E'clips stuck on it !

I heard that the soil in Australia is somewhat magnetic by nature and if you dropped a Conrad 240826 in the desert, all the sand would immediately be sucked up which would cause global devastation.. 

 

Those e clips saved us all from the Apocalypse..

That must be why Tamiya always include a few extra???

[Frog Jumper]

All those e-clips have rusted together and today the formation it created is called Ayer’s Rock.

Every time an E'clip pops off and goes projectile, guess what direction it goes in....  That's right it heads in the direction of the nearest Conrad every time.  Mystery solved !

Rumour has it, the tattoo just reads "26" until the Conrad hits 30,000 rpm 

[Gday Mate]

I have the 5th one :) 

[Mad Ax]

oh no, it looks like the blister-pack has ruptured!

CODE RED!  CODE RED!  WE HAVE A BREACH IN THE CONRAD CONTAINMENT FIELD!

That "skew armature" is the secret to the Conrad.

One slot car company tried a "twisted stack" armature back in the day, and it remains legendary for its performance and smoothness.

The electromagnetic vortex of resonant acceleration allows it to reach speeds, power levels, and efficiencies that no other motor can match.

If you look at the warp drive core in the Enterprise starship you'll see it's the same design

Wow! Remember the first mention of this marvel was in 2003 and now, 20 years later, the 5th is found. Will it take another 20 years before the 6th is found? If there was a 6th. Maybe Conrad realised after a production run of 5 it was a risk to produce more 240826's.

The rumor I heard was that they ran out of anti-matter for the magnets...

The sixth is actually being used as a generator, buried deep within the bowels of Hoover Dam. There are other generators, but the Conrad is enough to power most of the Vegas strip bu itself.

I'm not sure what number Conrad 240826 I have (6th? , 7th? LOL) but I managed to pick one up recently.

At risk of altering the Earth's rotation, magnetic fields and gravitational pull, I decided to test it:

• 19,000 rpm @ 7.2V / 4.90A
• 23,900 rpm @ 8.4V / 3.27A

At least we’ll know who to blame…

So after reviewing all the content in this thread, you're statement suggests this is a normal electric motor.......  I don't think our readers will believe you !

Well clearly it's all-powerful, I mean it draws double to triple the power of most motors of the day!

Looks like I've found the matching battery for the Beast

How on earth did you acquire that?!?  You must have violated every ITAR rule in existence and surely the courier was vaporized upon delivery to conceal the identity of the sender's secret lair.

[No Slack]

Please, be careful. This is a very dangerous combination: 6 cells pure energy and the beast. I never expected that both items still existed.
