Why do you have that as your profile picture

I love how he is excited about exploding bricks! Then you hear his wife laughing in the background loving it even more! So fun!
Yes, They're a very cute couple 😊
Brick - it's fun!
I've been thinking they're a good couple. They have a nice screen presence.
No she laughed because he said "holy shit!" She doesn't like exploding bricks she likes him. Duh.
Yeah nice screen presence when neither of them is ever onscreen. Holy fucking shit people are dumb.

Scientific breakdown of what happened in video-
Well I knew from the beginning concrete would be near impossible to break with the first machine because concrete is literally made to withstand compressive forces.
-in giant buildings they use steel bars inside concrete because the steel bars will withstand tension while the concrete withstands compression.
Also the thing with these blocks is the more solid it is, and the wider the area it has with the ground surface means it can divide the force from the machine equally at different parts rather then have all the pressure concentrated in a small area. The holes in the bricks also made it structurally weaker then a solid block however the material the bricks were made of is brittle compared to concrete.
yes
You, your wife, and your press are great entertainment. Why? I don’t know. It kind of fits into the category of “I hope there’s never a train wreck but if there is one I want to see it”. LOL. We never get to see stuff explode so we watch your show and it is great! Keep on doing what you do. And I really enjoy hearing you and your wife accents. I am old guy in Midwestern US. Thank you.

Nice to see a "classic" HPC vid: no fancy set-up or guest stars, just a man having fun crushing stuff, and learning a thing or two on the way. Cool. :)
Pete Zolli I agree. It’s what we got hooked on from the start.
Agreed. I prefer these too. Their personalities are part of the charm of the videos.

A man and his wife! That's important.
When he said “Holy shit!” I laughed hard for three minutes straight. This guy is awesome!
Me also
7:44 I’m going to say you weakened the concrete structure from the previous compression and that’s why it failed at a low rate .
Masonry is simply brittle. They should never be expected to the bear weight like holding up a car.
when you test the strenght of concrete you do Force/Area and in this case the area are reduced a lot when you flip it over:) thats one thing to have in mind .
@@marcusberglind9889 The thing with the flipped concrete bricks is that you have small pods on ths side so all tha preassure is not in a flat surface, but on 2 points.
@@Labben91 Correct :) the area are reduced :) thats why the force needed to
break the block also are reduced :)
Actually concrete depending on the mixture is very strong under compression but only in one direction like with the brick it's made to lay one way and not on it's end or side but the end would be stronger then turned on it's side of anyone is interested in how it's made then Nova on PBS or The Detenators are quite informative
I work for a timber merchants and we supply the local brick factory with cut up sheets of 3mm mdf to place top and bottom to ensure there is no hard metal contact on a small point. The mdf acts in the same way that the mortar does and spreads the load evenly across the surface.
A brick mason I used to work with once told me that seemingly identical bricks can have very different strength and longevity owing to some randomness in curing. He did, I should mention, primarily work with old bricks, so that difference may relate to old techniques or the ravages of time.
Old flinty bricks with shallow frogs were #1 for the last hundred years in england, now they make cheap bricks with these holes in purely to cut costs, as brickwork has been pretty much replaced with blockwork for strength, and bricks only as decor , sad rly
Also, theres a hole lot more to "strength" than just crushing its honestly a science of its own
@@58elrond theres a *hole* lot more....
I don't think you intended that pun.
😁
Old victorian blue engineering bricks would be much stronger.
There are aome really good points in this conversation. Here in the states bricks are still used in construction, but more for decorative elements such as pillars in entryways or walls instead of fences, landscaping. However bricks are expensive as a fascade material and we use these thin pieces, that are more like tile. I have seen people use bricks as an exterior fascade in a post frame building as well, but again it is very expensive.
i was a concrete worker, the concrete never stops getting stronger as time goes on, as it constantly loses moisture, thats why old concrete is so hard
Husky dog, really mean and angry, so we have to deal with that 😂😂

Hyyyeeee
Yasss I yagreee
Letsa gow
This demonstrates the importance of a mortar joint. These bricks are not as flat as the press surface so they crack in strain force then fail.
I was going to say something similar, the cracks obviously start at random places due to stress concentration.
And I see I'm not the only mason here today
Also, he was applying the force only to the center of the brick, as the pressing tools aren't large enough to press the entire bricks surface, thus the stress in the middle wasn't even with the stress on the ends of the brick.
DreadKyller- I noticed that too. The concrete brick fit on the press better and that’s partly why it held significantly more weight then the red brick.
I was going to say something similar, and even more importantly I think the fact that some of the brick was hanging off of the edge of the pad didn't help either. I think the results would be quite different if he put a rubber mat on the top and bottom (to simulate mortar) and used a plate big enough to cover the entire brick.
7:45" when layed on the side, the tool rest on small pods that are there for setting a tiny gap between the blocks... so these pods failed and then cracked the entire block
This guy is awesome. He personifies the KISS principle Keep It Simple Stupid. Sometimes the most fun can be had with simple stuff.

B J. Schmor I mean, yeah those exist reddyshop.co/hydraulicpresschannel/product/Vad-Da-Faak-2-t-shirt-black-text
The concrete block have some ribs on the side that concentrates the force to those points and makes it crack quickly.
Came down here to mention this!
not exactly.
those ribs and bumps don't concentrate the force.
what they to is serve as makeshift supports so the point of the brick directly under the press is not touching the table and is suspended.
as a result the concrete is not being compressed but it is actually being bent.
when bending like this the lower part of the brick actually stretches and not compresses.
and concrete does not stretch at all.
it has so low stretch limit that when used in buildings it has to be pre-compressed with steel rebars to prevent catastrophic failure when whole building bends.
(i apologize if i've used wrong terms in english)
come to think of it, the brick would not have broke so fast if those ribs broke first and flattened the area of contact. so it being so compression resistant is part of the reason it broke too.
I didnt notice those. Thanks
I think it also had some internal cracks from the first pressing and it just gave up when the force was exerted the other way related to these cracks.
those "concrete bricks" were actually concrete pavers and they have those ribs that there is some space inbetween them when you pave a driveway or something similar with them for water to get through as well as having a way to set them edge to edge and have a nice joint picture when the finished work is done... it does crack faster on those... if you grind them flat (take the ribs of) before pressing it would crack way later and with more dust
I absolutely love your channel !!!!! Keep up the great work !!!!
Facinating video! I love watching you guys do this!
Some experiments I would like to see in order to know:
Do two bricks stacked on top of each other have the same strength, or more, or less than one brick? If a layer of mortar is laid between the bricks, does this affect the result?
How heavy are the bricks? Because this would tell you how tall a stack of bricks you could make before it collapsed under its own weight.
If a brick is soaked in water, does this make it weaker, or stronger?
I would also like to see the bricks sandwiched by wood or something a little softer. Since bricks aren’t completely flat they cracked first causing inconsistencies
billb207 Unless the bricks are perfectly flat (which they clearly are not, as seen in the video), a layer of mortar would definitely help to avoid sheer stress, thus causing early failure.
Based on this video, I am going to build my next house out of playing cards.
Adam yup a hydraulic press can’t crush an already flat object soooo
Adam you actually could if you use resin to stick them together, and make like a plank of resin and cards.

Watching this at 12 am on a Tuesday and I gotta say this dude is amazing 😂 love the guy in the background saying “woah” when it “kinda explodes” and omg don’t get me started on the awesome accent 😂 I might just be high but this video is fucking awesome
I love you content, its always fun to watch.
When you turned the concrete brick on it's side there were ridges that created a localized pressure point that resulted in the failure of it., whereas it was flat the first way, spreading the pressure out.
OldMan_PJ wrong I’m afraid. The first pressing caused small fractures in the brick, so when it was turned the other way, it was already weak. Should have used a fresh brick.
I think what the other guys said is what you meant and what I came here to say. It was already damaged.
7:47 Aside from the fact that you're applying the same pressure across a much smaller area, the brick could have also been weakened by the initial press.
thank you for your time so glad to know this information from you
This video was too great! Thanks
I think the brick should have been pressed over it's entire area, I suspect the uncompressed portion adjacent to the compressed portion compromised the integrity.
biger surface area can stand biger force.
I don't think that matters, it would matter more to have a piece of plywood on each side to more evenly distribute the pressure.
@@mociczyczki is applicable to if force is applied to whole surface rather a concentrated force in a certain region of area
That's certainly true if your objective is to test the best-case strength of bricks. For making them explode, the asymmetric tool pressing over part of the area is probably better.
@@alphonsokurukuchu yep thats what im written.
“So we have to deal with it” my favorite part of the videos.
Man this is literally the most wholesome and funnest hydraulic press channel. Just a couple having fun squishing things. And the bonus content clips are O_O
I love the commentary on the slowmo, not anything over the top reaction and of course the Finnish accent is so unusual on RUclips, which makes it awsome
I like how when somethig doesn't explode or cause mayhem, their reactions are "Uh-oh" and "Oh-no!"
Are you the one who runs the Snapchat called “Crushin it?” If not then they’re stealing your videos!!!

I don’t even know why, but I love this channel! 😂
8:00 the experiment is not clean, that brick already was under pressure of almost 150 tons
Exactly this
I'm not the only one. Oh no. This can only mean more crushing of things. *sigh* and we will watch for science.
Crush all the things!
I don't think that's it. There were no cracks started from the first crush. It failed so quicky on edge because if those small ridges, or slightly curved sides, which caused it to go under tension in places and start cracking. These types of materials are not good in tension.
I'm pretty sure there were some internal cracks from the first crushing (you can see one when it's being repositioned). Those cracks just made it act as 2-3 pieces, each very strong, for the first crush, but when re-oriented, the cracks were then in a direction that allowed shear failure.
Nothing to do with cracks. All about surface area.

4:47 love how he doesn’t even get surprised by how it took 100 tonnes of pressure to break the brick
This guy should bring out merch with “And here we go!”
Good fun and educational too, good work sir! Keep on Crushin'.
the final test confirmed what I was thinking. The breaking stress is has a *lot* to do with the geometry of the load's contact patch. I think the rest of it has to do with irregularities in the load bearing faces - each little bump will act as an internal stress raiser, propagating micro-cracks preparing for the ultimate failure.
The difference of direction in the concrete could come from a number of sources, but My personal opinion is that the internal grain structure was changed by the first load in the press. I'd love to see this explored more, though...
I think the concrete brick had already suffered some damage in the normal direction, so in the opposite one it broke fast
Thats what i am considering too. I request this test should be done again with new concrete brick for actual result. I am very confused and surprised why vertically only bear 5 ton when horizontally bear 142 above
Best channel ever on youtube! :)

When you pressed the brick horizontally , the micro cracks emerged in the same direction but you pressed it vertically , there was no support for micro cracks .

"Yeah that was pretty big BOUM"
I always enjoy your videos, really like the content that you have prepared with your wife. Most of damage at the bricks are occurred as their surface wasn't flat, especially with the concrete brick, when you pressed on it's side... So when the surf is not flat the pressure is there higher, and start to break there...
this was the most realisic test to date
Lowry, you should find a way to attach a pressure sensor to your blast shield to see how hard the shrapnel from your experiments hits it. You could probably do some cool stuff with this, like determining if the projectiles are lethal or break skin. Love the viddy’s, keep it the up.

I don't think inhaling all that brick dust was good for your brain.
nota virgin verbal abuse
muh1h1 right. since bricks are made of earth and earth dust is ubiquitous outdoors. if it were dangerous we would have to wear respirators when walking on a dry trail in the fields or forest.
Charlie Angkor speak for yourself, my asthmatic ass has to do exactly that.
Inhaling brick dust can cause irreversible damage to your lungs and significantly increase your risk of lung cancer. For outdoor demolition there is enough airflow so you won't breathe in enough to really hurt, but they're inside, so their precautions are perfectly justified
Some of the crushed pieces look like the mountain after the dwarfs have mined it out ⛏⛏⚒ 😃

0:36 "Lot of prick explosions!" I thought I was watching youtube but apparently this is alot more nsfw than I expected!
This guy has an awesome job.
The slight ridges on the concrete brick allow them to impress into the block and cause fractures, hence why it breaks when on edge and not flat.
Nobody:
The pressure meter: *-20*
They are supposed to Zero out the Tare weight. Not sure why they don't. That was an issue during the "Spring's" episode, where the Scale went to -800 as they were taking pressure Off the spring.
@@TheLemzia a lot of pressure being removed at once can mess up calibration like that.
20 kg is almost nothing compared to 100 tons.
Not only is removing a bunch of weight going to mess up calibration but the exploded brick weighs less than the unexploded brick.
@@steinadler4193 Also 20kg is the smallest weight step of the sensor. That’s like a normal scale being off by 0.01 grams (if that’s the smallest it displays, like the one I have)
The result of the last crush looks like a shattercone you find at meteorite impact sites.

I love this channel. Lol holy sheet 😂😂 The holes in the bricks would have mortar in them and maybe rebar? It would be interesting to see the forces on the bricks in their “finished” form. That’s probably gonna need a really big press lol

The concrete brick is mainly used for driveways in England. With a decent 4"gravel and 2" to 3" sharp sand bed it easily supports cars/vans (beds wacked down by machines).
