Joey Chestnut was not the only big name back in Coney Island for the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest.
The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) made their presence known outside the Coney Island staple on Friday before Chestnut took the stage.
Members of the organization distributed vegan hot dogs to people along the boardwalk, all while hundreds of Nathan’s franks were being prepped for the competitive eaters.

Prior to the event, PETA said to Fox News Digital that “Tommy Tofu and his PETA pals will be right there at Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, distributing hundreds of tasty vegan hot dogs as they challenge hungry spectators to enjoy a free, flavorful Fourth that is also animal-friendly.”
“Vegan hot dogs are delicious and kind, and who really wants to support slaughterhouses — the word is enough — by buying what comes out of them,” PETA executive Tracy Reiman said in a statement. “PETA encourages everyone to let freedom ring for all by leaving animals in peace this Fourth of July and beyond.”
JOEY CHESTNUT RECLAIMS HOT DOG EATING CONTEST TITLE AFTER LAST YEAR’S ABSENCE BY DOWNING 70.5 FRANKS
Chestnut returned to the competition after missing last year due to partnering with a plant-based brand, Impossible Foods.
He looked almost as good as ever, downing 70.5 dogs and buns in the 10-minute span. It was his 17th victory in his last 18 tries (he lost to Matt Stonie in 2015), and it was the seventh time he eclipsed the 70-wiener mark.
The PETA presence did not compare to the protester that Chestnut put in a headlock back in 2022, but it’s yet another appearance from the animal activist group. Last year, PETA planned to “bombard the competition’s spectators” and brought a truck to encourage fans to go vegan.

Equilibrado de piezas
El equilibrado representa una fase clave en el mantenimiento de maquinaria agricola, asi como en la produccion de ejes, volantes, rotores y armaduras de motores electricos. El desequilibrio genera vibraciones que aceleran el desgaste de los rodamientos, generan sobrecalentamiento e incluso pueden causar la rotura de los componentes. Con el fin de prevenir fallos mecanicos, es fundamental detectar y corregir el desequilibrio a tiempo utilizando tecnicas modernas de diagnostico.
Principales metodos de equilibrado
Hay diferentes tecnicas para corregir el desequilibrio, dependiendo del tipo de pieza y la intensidad de las vibraciones:
Equilibrado dinamico – Se utiliza en componentes rotativos (rotores, ejes) y se realiza en maquinas equilibradoras especializadas.
Equilibrado estatico – Se emplea en volantes, ruedas y piezas similares donde basta con compensar el peso en un solo plano.
Correccion del desequilibrio – Se lleva a cabo mediante:
Perforado (retirada de material en la zona de mayor peso),
Instalacion de contrapesos (en ruedas, aros de volantes),
Ajuste de masas de balanceo (por ejemplo, en ciguenales).
Diagnostico del desequilibrio: equipos utilizados
Para detectar con precision las vibraciones y el desequilibrio, se utilizan:
Equipos equilibradores – Permiten medir el nivel de vibracion y definen con precision los puntos de correccion.
Equipos analizadores de vibraciones – Capturan el espectro de oscilaciones, detectando no solo el desequilibrio, sino tambien fallos adicionales (como el desgaste de rodamientos).
Sistemas de medicion laser – Se emplean para mediciones de alta precision en componentes criticos.
Especial atencion merecen las velocidades criticas de rotacion – regimenes en los que la vibracion aumenta drasticamente debido a la resonancia. Un equilibrado adecuado evita danos en el equipo bajo estas condiciones.
