Hand for scale.

There are a couple of sealed bearings not in the picture as well. 

They're all technically bad, they have rough spots or are out of balance, but without a load they spin just fine.

 

Suggestions on what to do with them? I have access to more as well.

Damn, those are some big ass bearings.

I don't know enough mechanical stuff to contribute any good ideas for what to do with them.

Best I can come up with is throwing them at people who annoy you.


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

So on that note, one of them I'm going to take apart. I want to shoot the balls out of my air gun and see how much damage they can do, and then use the outer ring to make a tiny spinning battlebot sort of thing.
