one of my customers sent this to me today. He is an insurance agent and like to build things. This is awesome!

 

Thats cool. Not to one up ya but I am a CNC Machinist for a company that builds hyralic cylinders and we just sent off a prototype to a company that is building a aluminume can crusher. The cylinder is a 10" bore with somewhere around a 54" stroke. The rod is 6" dia. and the complete cylinder weighed over 1300#. I asked what they where gona do "drop it on the cans"? At 3000PSI that 10" bore creates over 223,000 pounds of force. I think that is enough to crush a can or two prety flat. Actyaly its going in a aluminume can baler. It will create 4 foot cubes of cans.

 

I was hoping he would stick a full unopened beer in there...

 

If he get's bored unough, he might.

 

I hope not, that would be Alcohol abuse !

 

That was a Keystone? Running it through the cruncher would be about the only thing I could think to do with that stuff...

 

Awesome.. I like the thought to have it self eject.

 

Very cool. I may have to make one! He just needs to regulate the air eject so they drop out into a box right below it.

 

Hey! Prestone is what I drink when the inlaws are over.

 

I need those cans to supplement my income. You know times are hard & every nickle counts.

 

At first I thought you were gonna show us one of these.
