Welcome to the Hydraulic Press Channel
Today we have very really interesting video
We are going to test which is stronger
Aluminium rim, or steel rim
and the idea is pretty simple,
We are going to just put the rim and the tire in the press
and then we will crush them
and see how much pressure it takes
and then we can calculate the force the we needed to crush the rims
and this video is done in cooperation with
with Valtavalo
They gave new LED tubes for our workshop, and I also have
couple of as in filming lights
They should be really good filming lights because they have
good color rendering index
and, they don't flicker at all.
If you want to learn more about the lights,
I have video on BeyondThePress Channel where we change the lights to our workshop
and do some tests
with high speed camera at the lights
and, they don't really flicker at all
on any frame rate
and we are also going to use our Chronos 1.4 high speed camera today
And I really like my new setup where the lights are
attached to the blast screen
They give really soft light because they are so large
compared to my old spotlights... so
Nice to see how the picture is going to look today
Yea! But, uh let's start with the aluminium rim
I think this is going to be harder than the steel rim, but
Let's find out.
And this is really dangerous, don't ever try anything like this at home
*Press noises* And here we go!
*Air escapes and tire pops*
Yeah it broke from the back
And from the front, so I think that's finished
And I don't know what was the big pressure
But, it was this amount of force
I see to the edit
Yup, and I
don't know how strong it was, but I think it wasn't like stupid strong
Aaand
I'm bit disappointed it first broke in the back
But I have more of these
So I'm going to switch new one there
And then we are going to crush it again
So you can see how it breaks from the behind
But, eh, let's check the damage from this one
And I think we are going to use this one as in like
reference on the force, so
here is the end result
It's pretty broken
