When I removed the front spring from my 55 Studebaker President Speedster it had so much energy it vibrated and danced across the garage floor for 8 hours and got 35 mm taller. P.S. I'm glad you're not dead.
@roguegryphonica3147 The lower control arm was broken from an accident but I very carefully unloaded the spring and removed it from the car. While assessing the damage to the suspension, I could hear the spring vibrating and I noticed it was moving on level concrete. I have removed dozens of coil springs from cars and trucks but none of them ever did that.
that wasn't really the sound of the spring though, just the sound of the little metal bits that were supporting it flying off and hitting something else
As always, your hydraulic work is incredibly professional. It’s fascinating to watch how the materials get compressed in such complex ways. I have a lot of respect for the quality of work your team consistently delivers.
The windows are rated for 5 hits from .308. I am pretty sure that if would but a good group on concrete wall like that with .308 there is going to be a hole after 5 shots
If I recall correctly, they're made of polycarbonate and extremely thick, designed with the mindset of "if you're going to do it, might as well overdo it!" 🤣 The framing is also impressively well thought-out.
As a lifelong petrolhead and automotive restoration engineer, I need to visit Finland purely for your car parts stores... And to find the Mumins, love those little guys... I might see if I can make friends with The Groke and psychoanalyse him/her... I think a life of talking to broken vehicles and solitude may have damaged me... what do you think, Moomin Papa?
"All this is going to shrapnel out a jillion mph and kill everyone....and we're going to do that today" Exactly why I Love theHPC channel. The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys!!!! ?Crush On!
@@ChipGuyIts probably because countries like Finland, Denmark, and Sweden are actually UBER capitalist. That's how they generate the tax revenue for all their programs. Just walking into an automotive store and grabbing a huge, potentially dangerous spring off the shelf makes more sense in that context.
The slow mo’s are always great, but for less explosive looking explosive events (such as the crushing of springs), visuals of numbers for acceleration or force or some other on screen metric to give an idea of the forces at work would be epic, and add so much (imo).
I’ve literally been watching this channel for over 10 years and it’s really nice to see that you have doubled down on your content, I know that for a while there are things were pretty slow that you guys are really come along, and Lowry your wife is beautiful
Spring to other springs:- "Damn, that was some tough training, we are finally ready for use" The Spring in supermarket:- Damn , the human picked me, se ya'll later, hope find work too! Gets put sideways:- Hold on, Thats not optimal !!!
OMG intro back!!! Love it. The editing you've done here is perfect, Can I ask for a fade out for the music at the end instead of a cut off like the old days. :) Watched the intro more times than the video itself!
As someone with airbrake training, this was the most terrifying thumbnail. I will miss Lauri when he's a steamy mist. I'm glad your friend was shaking his head. Fuck I love Finland.
Perhaps you could make some sort of fixture for the thick spring that has a flat surface against either end of the spring to keep it from bending sideways while it's pressed.
@@UnicornTears12 Get a refrigerator that has a hydronic press built into it. Saves a lot of space. And to everyone who asks "Why do you even need that," it's because you never know!
I love how he’s like “this is really dangerous and stupid, let’s do it!” I love this guy and his wife. They’re both amazing and also genuine people I believe.
Early Welcome to the US! Grab yourself a cowboy hat and boots! Side note- avoid California right now, small electrical problem. We will have it fixed next time you come.
Hi Laura and all, I always like to see your press videos. In this video, I think the big ass red spring was the best. I'm glad you had sufficient safety protection. Also, I loved the video where you cut 10 decks of cards in half. Good fun !!!
Freeze the big red spring
Thats a terrible idea! Definetly going to try it out 😂
@@HydraulicPressChannel 😂
Everything is better after a nice long bath in liquid nitrogen.
@@HydraulicPressChannel 🤣
indeed, dry ice or liquid nitrogen
You should get a thermal imaging camera to point at the objects you are crushing.
Actually a good idea
Maybe add ultrasonic measurements too.
I'm sure they have one, there's a video using one for exactly this on the channel
Great idea!
After I saw the smoke I agree
Add a FLIR camera to see the heat build up before the bang. That would be very interesting.
Now the shop smells like spring in the winter 😅
I see what you did there
Sharp!
Smells like spring spirit?
Those are so dangerous that you could spring violently right into fall without a summer.
😂 that’s a good one
"Just the tip" - definition of friendship in Finland
“We did some risk analysis…” 😂😂😂
It was likely done after many alcoholic beverages
YAY! THE OLD INTRO SONG IS BACK! WOOOOT!
Just no scary monster at the end 😢
Do you know what the song is?
Finally. instant +10 charisma
Yasss!!
@@alexburwood Music: Thor's Hammer-Ethan Meixell
I've never seen a store with springs on the shelves like that.
Biltema is an awesome store
They have a spring store
Just what I was thinking. Maybe just to supply The Hydraulic Press Channel.
Spring City! Spring City! You need springs? What kind of springs? WE DON'T CARE. WE GOT 'EM! At Spring City, we sell springs.... and that's all!
BOINGGGG
These dudes make a living crushing things, amazing
They crushed it!
And blowing stuff up.
@@marvindebot3264 even better
9:50 - They have "Springs R Us" stores in Finland? 🤣
This is Biltema, an amazing automotive/hardware superstore chain in the Nordics.
Those spring shelves are a bit ridiculous. 🤣
@@JayMaverick Why ridiculous?, Sales needs Display.
"Do not do this at home." Dang, I guess i'll put my 300 Ton press away. :( LMAO
I must say they are perfect for cracking stubborn nuts since you can move them with enough precision that you crack it without damaging the nut
Don’t forget about the bulletproof bunker too. I just finished building mine and now I’m not allowed to try it :(
I do really wish I had a 300 ton press. There are so, so many things I’d like to squish with it.

You should be!
@brownwrench That is so kind of you to say. Why do you feel so strongly about me dying, just curious?
@@kevinsellsit5584maybe its his way of showing affection
A spring released as you described certainly would cause some concern for anyone in proximity.
@roguegryphonica3147 The lower control arm was broken from an accident but I very carefully unloaded the spring and removed it from the car. While assessing the damage to the suspension, I could hear the spring vibrating and I noticed it was moving on level concrete.

8:48 the new "falling metal pipe" sound effect just dropped
Falling metal spring
that wasn't really the sound of the spring though, just the sound of the little metal bits that were supporting it flying off and hitting something else
12:40 for actually similar sound produced by a spring rather than support

Tommi clearly has the best spring picking out skills. Natural born mayhem maker.
Teemu
Remember when videos like this would be 1 minute long with just the footage of the crushing?
I miss those days...
Thanks!
Huh?
@@Roc790 he requested the video it’s like a fetix of his
@@Roc790it’s just a generic response when donating, probably a kid on his mums phone.
Wait you have a like "Springs R Us" store. :)
I know!😂😂
I was laughing at that as soon as they showed them shopping in the spring isle.
I’m confused and impressed
Biltema
They must go through a lot of springs in Finland!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Must be a lot of hydraulic presses in Finland to have a whole section of a store dedicated to springs 😂.
The window is stronger than the wall😂

Might even withstand a nuclear shock from a distance... But it's still intense...

Absolutely love the new/old intro!!! Classic yet modern 😊
Old new intro
One thing that amazed me was the store with about 100 different dimensions of springs! Like Springs-R-Us!
that looks like biltema

I had to stop and laugh when he said that 😅😅
Buying big springs off the shelf. I have never seen anything like this in Germany. Awesome.
Germany needs better automotive supermarkets!
@@JayMaverick Well, you can get all that but usually there is a guy at the counter who will pick up that stuff for you from the warehouse in the back.
I was just cleaning my garage and found some nice 25 year old D&W catalogs. Beats Biltema's offering at least for few first pages😉

@@thisdude9363lol what
"Spring smoke! Don't breathe this!"
I wonder if the press could crush a running Blend-Tec blender...
You let the magic smoke out! That spring won't work anymore now.
Holy crap I thought you were going in there while it was still compressed @6:22..😲
Even I turned my phone screen away from my face in case the spring flew my way.
😂
The paint and sparks coming off of that spring in slo-mo was excellent video!
"Hold my beer!" -moment 😁😁😁
8:55. I am so stealing that sound.
Fascinating how the springs try to curl tighter.
This man is living my childhood dream
This is the first video that made my palms sweaty, that orange spring looked especially dangerous!
The sounds when parts of it were rotating... 😨
Fun. Try taking the springs back to the shop for a refund! 😂
It warms my heart to know that I could go to Finland and make "just the tip" jokes, and they would actually get it.
Spring smoke... don't breathe this!
Lmfao “now I’m stupid enough” 😂😂 homie you are the man. This is the ultimate episode of the HPC. F*ck yeah!
The slow mo’s are always great, but for less explosive looking explosive events (such as the crushing of springs), visuals of numbers for acceleration or force or some other on screen metric to give an idea of the forces at work would be epic, and add so much (imo).

The Spring in supermarket:- Damn , the human picked me, se ya'll later, hope find work too!
Gets put sideways:- Hold on, Thats not optimal !!!
Why is this so satisfying to watch????????
The audio sounded great, all that crystal-clear creaking and groaning of the springs, it makes the danger even more intense.
"The window is stronger than the wall."
That does not calm you down. 😂
05:00 thank you.
That dice set is amazing now that you are offering the tungsten and black zirconium!
OMG intro back!!! Love it. The editing you've done here is perfect, Can I ask for a fade out for the music at the end instead of a cut off like the old days. :) Watched the intro more times than the video itself!
Seriously we dont even have a "Coil Spring Mart" In this US. 🤣

9:50 Taking a run down to the local spring store 🤣🤣
They sell calipers, brake rotors etc etc, dont see what the big deal is with them selling springs.
Well I'm glad you said not to try that at home. I was just about to put this giant spring in the hydraulic press in the lounge.
I keep my 300 ton press in the kitchen.
@johnladuke6475 I already have the 50 ton press in there. There's just never enough space for presses.

Jeesus come up with something original for once…not funny at all😂😂
It's so cool that you can just go around to a local supermarket and buy a spring or like hand grenades in Finland. :D
The the pump sound is off in slo mo you can really hear how violent the breaking sounds are!
Oppenheimer walked so Hydraulic Press Channel could run
7:30 The bit you clicked on this video to see starts here.
Wrong, I'm here for every second of these guys
"Maybe everything you see on the Internet is not true ..." :)

😊 Nothing like spring smoke.
"Dont try anything like this at home" Says Lauri.
Its okay I don't have a 300-ton hydraulic press sitting in my living room!
I do have a couple large springs, though. They came from railcars
Spring is in the air!
0:26 that’s one for an HPC out of context clip video lol
I pray this gentleman’s channel thrives forever, because if it ever ends and he gets bored, he has some real super villain energy to him😂😂
Maybe you can dip the springs in liquid oxygen first
"Maybe everything you see on the internet isn't true".....Truer words have never been said on the internet brother! Cheers!
3:48 clearly inhaling toxic fumes
And I bet you vape too. Aka Douche-Flute
"Don't try this, this is really stupid." LOL!
That store looks like IKEA but for coil springs! Is this a mandella paradise?
I always love the "don't try anything like this at home" -- as if any of us have a quarter-million-dollar, 300-ton press to do this on.
9:56 wow my dream shop 😂
Just shopping at the giant spring store
Starting to look like springtime
Just the tip! I fell out of my seat.

I have been in alot of automotive stores in the United States and I have never seen so many springs in one place. That's quit a remarkable selection.
I love that there's just a goddamn supermarket for huge coil springs somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Finland.
