Welcome to the "Hydraulic Press Channel"!
Empty soda cans are surprisingly strong.
You can even stand on top of one if there isn't any dent.
But how strong they are that's
what we're going to today measure.
And after last week's difficulties to measure
loads under 2 tons, I went and bought
this really high-tech force sensor.
And this can measure loads from zero to
five tons. So, it's just the
window which is really difficult
to measure from pressure from the press.
So, now we can measure even weak things
like this. And we are using our
smaller press, to get more precise
movement so we can
load the cans a little bit more carefully.
So, we are going to get the highest possible reading.
And, after the cans we are also going to test
soda bottle, coconut
... and egg. Standing up.
This has been asked many times so today we're going to do it.
Yep, so now we have empty can there.
And here you can see our data logger thing
and it shows current load in kilograms.
But don't worry, I'm going to
do conversion to Freedom Units
for the peak load. And if you
want to get some idea of what this is in pounds,
you can just multiply it by 2
and you'll be pretty God damn close.
Yep, and it's going to save the highest load there
so we can go back and check that after the crush.
But...
let's start!
And I'll go really slowly...
That was really weak. I think we'll have to try with
another one.
I think that our system was too hard.
The sensor didn't have the time to measure.
The force began to be generated so I've
added some play-doo there. And now we have
more time to measure because the
soda can will start to sink in
the play-doo and that will load it
a little bit slower. So I'm sure now
we can get good measurement.
77 Kg (170 lbs) so...
not very much even yet.
But, let's try with one more!
And now we are going to switch to Pepsi Max because that's much
better. (Laughs)
Yeah, I think that's a pretty good result. Yeah!
Yeah, it was actually showing the highest all the time.
So, at this moment it's
it's not 114.
it's just 18 Kg (40 lbs).
But, 114 I think that's
the best we can measure with this. So, there
isn't so much of, like,
safety margin when you are standing on top of one.
And, I think now everybody wants to see if it
is any harder when it's full.
So let's try that!
Yep, and now the full one. And if you have
really thin aluminium tank
like soda can, or space rocket
it's going to be much
stronger when there's some pressure inside.
So, I'm going to say that it's going to be at least
twice as strong with the soda in it.
So, here we go!
Ohh!
Oh-oh it's going to go! (Popping sound)
(Laughs)
That was really nice!
And let's see the result.
360 kg (794 lbs.)
So way more!
Yeah, that was really nice!
And it, like, it has
failed really slowly first
before exploding.
Yep, and then the soda bottle.
And, my wife says this is not going to last shit
but, I'll say at least 200 Kg (440 lbs.)
Uhhhhg... So here we go!
Holy shit!
(Loud cracking sound)
Ho-ho-how!
That was pretty strong!
Let's see how much was...
what was the maximum result
830 kg!!! (1830 lbs.)
My first car weighted about this much!
Pretty, pretty huge number!
I have to say that even I am surprised
but the most important thing is
I won and wife 'lose'!
(Laughs)
Anni, you don't know anything about soda bottles!
(Laughs)
Yeah, I think we're going to test the coconut next.
And, and now my wife says
it's going to be 78 kg (172 lbs.)
And, I say 120 (265 lbs.)
That's pretty much!
It's really hard!
Hooly shiit! It's going to escape!!
No, it doesn't want to stay upright
but that was already 1 ton!
Yep, I think we have to go like this otherwise it's going to
just escape from there.
Yeah, it has much stronger
standing up.
I have no idea where it would come
But...
I think we are going to re-visit this
I'm going to make special tool that's going to hold
the coconut.
And if you have some other good other ideas of what we should test on that
video, please write them down.
And, I would say that if the soda can was hard to measure,
this is going to be also.
And, I, I'm going to say that we only have like
20 Kg (44 lbs.)
It's... the press is so hard... it's just
steel. It's not like your hand.
Which smashes bones and everything.
How much was it?
(Laughs)
Hey, pretty good!
Pretty good! I sure know my egg.
20 Kg (44 lbs.) That's it.
Yeah, that is all for today. Thank
you for watching, and have a nice day!
(Intro song)
And, for today's extra content
we have this monster worm. And It's so exotic animal
that I don't even know how dangerous it is
but the meter will tell!
Soo... We have to deal with it!
(Laughs) Not very dangerous, yet.
Yeah, much more dangerous than the soda bottle
or coconut.
