i almost melted a cube from trying to break it in with a power drill.... that was way more than 30 tps lol so no pretty unlikely.... and 30 tps???? my tps is 20.... with sexy times 6....

I've seen him do 24 moves in 1.1~ he says his best is .9, which seems just believable, because his 1.1 was when he wasn't very warmed up.
I plan to get a camera that films at 60FPS soon, so if I have that next comp, I'll film him.
Edit: more reliable, I've seen him do 100 moves in about 5-6, I think his best is 4.9.

Makes you sound like a newb since you have no proof (not that it matters).
I also think it's not humanly possible to melt the cube with fast tps making any noticeable deformations to the plastic.

loooooooool
I've heard that the "spin one side of a cube really fast with a drill" method of wearing in a cube can actually cause parts of the pieces to melt and stick together if you do it for too long at once. I'm not sure if human-generated TPS can do it, but I have a feeling that actual melting is only going to happen if you keep turning quickly for a while - a short burst isn't going to do it.

Even if you could do 100 tps it won't burn or deform your cube. But you will lose plastic from normal use. Having high TPS you will need less friction (lube absorbs the friction) to make it possible anyway.
Test it... that way we can all stop being nubs.

which is why when u do use a drill u turn it for 2 to 4 seconds then wait a couple seconds then repeat

leave out the lube, tension it to the max and try to get your 30 tps. if you will.. well maybe than theres a slight chance of melting it

who the f*ck cares? Even if your 30 tps is legit (which i doubt it is), it doesn't mean sh*t. Solving the cube faster with a lower tps is far more important than doing stupid tps **** and accomplishing nothing. just saying. and about the melting, who cares. put it in a microwave if you want it to melt so bad.

HSUAshaushauhua Hessler said all. This guy is just trying to show up. I doubt that in a normal resolution he does more than the average 7 tps. Gabriel dechichi I know that makes a sub 0.5 easily in case U of PLL, that I doubt that this guy does.

I hope you realize he never said anything about averaging 30 TPS. Also, nobody ever said anything about U perms.
Reading this thread made me laugh.

ok look people. most of you font seem to understand the point of this. on sexy x6 and other algorithms i have had 30 tps and more. as for single plls yes i can get .5 uperm and all the other stupid stuff. also i never said that having faster tps makes you solve the cube faster. my avg tps for a solve is around 5-7. i was just wondering if one could generate enough heat in one part of the cube just by turning to melt it. and as we discussed earlier i dont mean a pile of plastic goop. more noticeable deformation of the plastic. anyway thanks to everyone who read and replied to the thread. =)

you can generate heat by turning but I don't think you can melt it..
maybe you should experiment it on a new cube and focus on turning and see if you could melt it.

Glue the centre cap to a cube to a drill press, and then turn it on. Going that speed will probably melt the plastic.

I know that; I never said otherwise. I was just pointing out that "I doubt that in a normal resolution he does more than the average 7 tps" really doesn't have much of anything to do with Luke's claims, since he never made any claims regarding average TPS.

luke, play nice lol
ok.
guys trust me he has insane tps, ive been to comps with him
as for the plastic thing, my guess is that since you put crc in your cubes, that would decrease friction and it'd not be able burn
if you left it without lube and went insane tps then.... maybe it might melt slightly lol

30 tps is like ruru x6 in .8 :O

Got a problem with that?
But I think he can only just sub 1 that, he's better in long things like x100 where timing is also more accurate, less time is wasted on starting. 30 TPS is probably the absolute max, I'm completely sure he can at least get over 25 TPS.
