Another dry rock friction test. They should put a hose on it! Note that when they engage the clutch, there is a big friction jump, but then it settles down to a steady dry friction of 0.5, which is quite high. Big earthquakes see the friction go down to zero. That initial spike is probably just a result of the clutch collision.
Adding water should activate proper dynamic friction. Does the water film actually heat, or does it just interfere with re-adhesion. Would be interesting....
