    Today we are going to find out how bad idea it is to crush stuff with hydraulic press without safety glasses or other shielding. We are going to use our 150 ton hydraulic press to crush playing cards, ball bearings and bearing balls. As an stunt person we have our brave watermelon with candy eyes to give scientific data and valuable worksafety lessons!

    Many lessons to be learned:
    1. Always wear eye protection when operating heavy tools and machinery. Especially when you're crushing random items on an hydraulic press.
    2. Don't stare closely at whatever you're pressing, no matter how funny it may look. You can stare, but be aware that you may only do it once, so make sure that whatever you're staring at is worth looking at.
    3. Don't be a watermelon. Some people may carve holes in you and put false eyes in those holes, then put you in dangerous situations to illustrate a point about safety.

    3:30 don’t be fooled by the lack of a cut. That blunt force trauma to the eye could push the eyeball back in to the skull, increasing the pressure in the space behind your eye, (it’s a closed space so the eye getting pushed back increases the pressure), causing the walls of the cavity where the eyes rest to blow out. This can lead to something called muscle entrapment, where muscles that control the movement of the eye get trapped by the walls of the ocular cavity. This can cut off blood flow to the muscles, killing them, and making you unable to move your eye properly, which can cause some serious problems with double vision.

    You should get 3 ballistic heads and surround the press with them. one unprotected, one with just glasses, and one with a face shield. great direct comparison for protection, and a lot more area to catch fragments. I bet that big piece would have been enough to crack your scull even if it didn't blind you

    VERY COOL! OSHA would love this. I would love to see a video with some fog in the chamber to see the flow of air, the force and how it disperses, like with the playing cards - it's an explosion. It just happens so fast, and the watermelon jumps UP. Where does that force come from? It would just be fun to see.

    • @llearch
      @llearch 8 месяцев назад +2

      When the ball bearing shatters, the downward force on the lower plate (upper pillar > ball bearing > lower pillar > lower plate) is released, and you get a sharp jump upwards of the whole lower structure. This brings the lower pillar slamming into the upper pillar, but also brings everything else on the lower plate jumping upwards as well. As well as, because we -are- talking literal tons of force, here, making the whole machine jump, including the camera. Good times.
      Is that coherent enough to give you an idea, or did I explain poorly?

    • @HA05GER

    Some people often say under your videos: "Good, but nobody is dumb enough to stare straight into the thing you are pressing and put their face 3inches from the press" well, i work with hydraulic press like the one in this video, i'm an aeronautic mechanic, more precisely , a gearbox expert (helicopter main gearboxes specialist if you prefer), i disassemble , expertise, then reassemble helicopter main gearboxes. Into those gearboxes, a lot of things are assembled by pressing & heating (dilatation of a bearing by heating it in a hoven then pressing the said bearing on a shaft or an axle for example), and believe me, in aeronautic maintenance, you are extremely precise. I'm talking about MICRONS precision. (0,001mm tolerances), when you press something that precisely, you use some measuring tools (so you put your hands right next to the head of the press, and you stare STRAIGHT in the press, kneeled in front of it, with your face sitting 10centimeters from it, while it's activated and while the assembly is under pressure (usually we press parts together with around 10-20tons of force). Soooo yeah, the watermelon setup is NOT exagerated, some people literally work everyday with their face sitting at 10cm of a working hydraulic press. if a piece of bearing or shaft snaps, or blows or some metal flakes flies toward my face, i could end up like this watermelon.
