What keeps the wall from falling over and crushing you?
Is it better than just chaining the wallet to my belt?
@@meinkamph5327 They are welded together
@@superancient I lose easily my belt and jeans also so yep it's better :D
Are you not worried that the spring have stored that energy in some way and if it get unstuck to itself while next to you, you could get hurt ?
If you like this one I can make press tools that are in angle to make them fly even better :D
you can put a lever inside spring that tilts it when the press compresses it enough, like a rectangular S shape lever that flips once press touches it
You could try braking a key way push type broach cutting tool. I use them in my daily work and i have always wondered what would happen if it Snaps under pressure.
Like Mercedes? 😮
You should put a measurement tape, horizontal and vertical, on the back wall for easier reference of speed etc.
Bolts wedged between the coils on just one side will cause a spring to bow when compressed (remember those aluminum spring stiffening inserts from back in the day). A bar sticking out that only grabs one side of the coil might help, as it will flex open a bit.
Winter is gone and SPRING is in the air. 😂
Not here it isn’t.
Australia!
@@glennllewellyn7369 Enjoy your Fall season!!
You deserve a like
Not here in South Afrika ,,winter is about to start
I see what you did there
Protip for next time: If you crush the spring completely so the spires overlap be very careful when touching it later, some of them could be stuck together and could be still carrying a lot of energy
Yeah that scared me when he grabbed it.
Right? I got nervous when he just went in there and grabbed it😂
100 tonnes won’t come unstuck… if you’re lucky
Hello HPC. Nice work with springs. Lethal power in those. Ok, for 30 years I have used 30cm tall X 20cm dia hard-wood stumps, bark removed, the same 2. Finally my son asked me to wrap 2 stainless hose clamps around each, close to the ends. Applied them as tight as the small 6mm bolt head would allow. We put one end of small cars on them, nice to sit on, endless uses. Now we are wondering just how strong those are? You did a similar test before, using fresh soft wood and no hose clamps. Is it possible to press stumps like these? Love the new bunker. Something has to crack the cement someday. Kipis
I was watching it and thought: I hope it doesn't spring into action
Trying to be unsafe and the spring not cooperating was very funny to me. Then the watermelon falling off and breaking from gravity 😂
I thought that this is going to be so easy after the first spring :D
@@HydraulicPressChannelI think you should crush a heavy duty spring _sideways!_ Because that's the direction is NOT meant to bend...
Also, maybe try to source a dump truck spring, and a train car spring, for a "Springs vs Press Pt.2"? _(although, the latter might be _*_TOO_*_ stiff)_
test spring - only half on the tool, next spring, always 100% under the tool "vhat the f, why won't it go???" gee, I wonder...
Be a mechanic and do stuff and springs and this makes sense! They are always sketchy but most the time they fine!
Man it's crazy that it took so much while trying to be unsafe! Honestly after watching the first half of the video might give someone the wrong impression, but I think airbuddy in these comments have witnessed a potential accident themselves or from others. I've had three springs leave the tool myself, one from those shitty bolt clamps and two from different dealership spring tools.. all three of them surpassed my super Saiyan Matrix speed reaction, leaving the area completely before I could even blink and being super lucky after two previous that the last one of them resulted in a minor knee cap injury where I was bracing the special tool. Still absolutely terrifying after 3/4 thousand McPherson struts... But awesome quick money. Name of the game😅🎉
A mechanic's worst nightmare seems so tame from this angle lol
Facts! I'm glad with working on semi trucks all I have ti worry about is airbags and the occasional hydraulic line and rams lol 50ton ram is my biggest
Stupidly dangerous but completely safe. That is the future of the channel. One of the best quotes ever.
I love how legitimately excited and enthusiastic you both are
The Spring still has Anger to give. 😆
I feel like a portion of that over-stressed spring may still be dangerous
I was thinking same. Take care that after the spring is crushed, it’s not still a “booby trap.” Don’t assume whatever shape it ends up in is not still loaded with potential waiting to hurt let loose.
@@dstillmanYes, I would consider having a small hole through the bunker that you could pass a rope through to pull on a stuck test object in cases like this. If that spring was stuck with stored energy, pulling it off the table and letting it hit the floor *should* be enough of a shock to release it, or at least safer than just walking in there.
As soon as he said "bulletproof concrete bunker" I knew we were in for a good time
So glad you're still posting. My late wife and I found you at the beginning. It was a Saturday morning routine to watch your vids with coffee. Cheers from the USA.
May I suggest watching it in the afternoon? Then she might make it on time
@@spamtes not that kind of late, friend. The dead kind.
@@792slayer oh sorry, English is not my first language
@@spamtes no worries, man. Your heart was in the right place.
There was a car accident recently that shot a car spring through the wall of a restaurant in my town. Luckily the spring went through up 20 ft high not down low!
" I don't want to break the spring"? I never thought I'd hear you say that. I kind of wanted to see one explode.
I will do that on end of the video. I just wanted them to fly first :D
I think there was a bit of language barrier here. The intent must have surely been "I don't want to break the spring YET".
When are you going to crush that bearing that defeated the old press?
And the... copper bar I think it was? Or brass?
Whichever one flew out and broke one of the windows like 10m away from the press, and also made Lauri revamp safety protocols lol
Have you thought about lining the interior of the bunker with plywood panels or something to protect the concrete bunker walls? Much easier to replace the wood than to repair the concrete!
Axis of torsion - a well balanced spring will self correct.
Weld the thing to a plate.
It will expand and explode
brilliant!
Show me on the doll where springs hurt you, lol.
Yep, welding the spring or a steel strap that can be used again.
Here I was thinking this whole time that this bunker was for you guys to hide inside of when doing this kind of mayhem, but now I see that it's to protect EVERYTHING in your shop (including you) from the mayhem itself, keeping everything that happens within it... That actually makes it more effective and useful, now that I think of it! Good job!
You should install a Safety Lockout to prevent anybody from activating/using the press when they are inside the room. It would be a fantastic way to keep everybody safe from an accidental use when somebody is inside.
Maybe even rigged to the door with a magnetic reed switch.
@@jamesphillips2285 Seems like a good addition.
The ultimate power couple right here.
You know what would be awesome? Putting Balistic's dummy Lab Human replica next to the press and see what damage it would do to a human.
I will get couple of those here
@@HydraulicPressChannel That would be awesome! I wonder if you are ok using the green zombie blood ones, make sure it doesn't mess with the monetization.
Yeah, that would be awesome
Always love watching the gun channels with Ballistics Dummies like Kentucky, Edwin, Demo etc
100% Agreement!
Thanks!
Thanks a lot!
I suggest (*if Finnish and EU laws allow it) selling certain crushed items on your website as souvenirs. Not that still-compressed spring, though!
USA viewers would definitely be interested. We'll collect things just because.....
Love your channels, Lauri. "Make noise and break things" ought to be your motto.
Unless they start crushing uranium and the like, why would EU or Finnish laws forbid selling certain crushed stuff online?
(We might have a more socialist mindset than the US, but we do have freedom here. 😉)
@@landsgevaer Liability laws. That spring is still under a lot of tension. Other items might be seen as potentially harmful for a dozen reasons. What does Lauri think?
@@petuniasevan Yeah, so not a loaded spring, sure. But you wrote "certain items", and added "not that uncompressed thing". So I assumed you would be talking about flattened toilet rolls and extruded candles, and perhaps a flattened coin, broken vase, distorted metal cube or whatever.
Most stuff that is crushed is entirely safe, yet souvenirworthy.
Nice! Also Hanna is a great addition to the channel.
Is that his sister, or Anni's sister or something?
12:18 Hanna turned into Goofy there for a second.
I was gonna say, the goofy holler! Haha
Hawt Hanna ❤
This is going to add so much to the channel. Thank you for all the hard work. I can't wait for what the future has in store for this channel.
I have a suggestion I don't think you've done yet. Crush an air bag (air spring) from a transport truck's suspension. Could hook a pressure gauge to it even to see at what point it blows.
You wouldn’t need the press for that.
Just add air like they did to the tires!
IDK if it has been done but crushing hydraulic bottle jacks or an isolated hydraulic cylinder could be cool. Great to see the springs in slow motion there.
Oh my gosh!! This was absolutely breathtaking ❤ what a superb setup you have now!! Pure artistry
For a more scientific idea, since you can graph the force over distance of the press, you could try compressing the spring all the way (maybe even overcompressed) while logging force and distance and then let it sit fully compressed overnight. Then release it and compress it again and compare the graphs to see if the spring lost any "springiness".
And same after heating it up a bit perhaps.
This bunker series has been great, channel has grown so much
So excited for this one
Something so satisfying about watching things break. Great video. Really liked the production on this one too.
Wow. Those new slow-mo bass sounds are impressive.
Been looking forward to this one!
I wasn't looking towards filming this after I bought the thick spring, that one was scary :D
Car companies should sponsor you, to demonstrate how safe their car parts are. Damn!
1:24 that cat has such a unique and thorough coat that I’ve never seen before! Very cute!
I've been hooked on your videos for years and love the upgraded press guys. Be dangerous and stoopid. Thank you all from Australia.
Everyone get a good look at the bunker in its pristine new condition. I don't think we'll have to wait very long until those walls have a lot of scars. Can't wait 🤘😎
Spring has finally sprung.
Thank you HPC!
You are the best keep up the amazing content and I will be watching!!!
Love you two problem-solving together.
We need 2 rail car/train springs stacked on each other!!😂😂
Car parts in general!
I have GIANT piston waiting to be crushed. Like size of 10 liter bucket :D
@@HydraulicPressChannel
Yippee!
Second hydraulic press at 90 degrees to force the compressed spring out!
I love this channel, such a unique and superb theme. Dangerous but safe… and informative.
6:05 *_THAT. LITTLE. LAUGH!_* 🥹♥️
Seriously, it was absolutely adorable! 🤣
I laughed many times. Even failure can be funny. I am still scared of springs though.
These experiments are so dangerous I actually recoil from them in real life.
I see what you did there
Used to work in a place that made air brake actuators, and the springs in those are similar in thickness to the big car spring. Just a bit shorter coil overall. It only took a big air cylinder to compress those.
Inside the press the polycarbonate is plenty to handle the ricochet, the problem is when something holding it back fails with air pressure. We had a few holes in the ceiling insulation (not the metal) where a brake failed on the air tester table, due human error while assembly. So they can be dangerous, but you have to mess up pretty bad to get hurt.
One guy was taking apart a caterpillar bulldozer style brake actuator, missed taking out one of the cap screws before he started raising the press. It of course kinked sideways like yours did, and ricoched out of the press. He took a side swipe to his chest and face, went home for the day and was back the next. Just a bruise and a bruised ego.
That press didn't have a front guard door like the others for some reason. Probably something to do with the style of brakes made on that line. Lots of Volvo and caterpillar style with cap screws, instead of cage bolt and clamp band like most double diaphragm trailer brakes.
10:07 This is both high drama with extreme suspense and at the same time, pure comedy gold! 🫣🤣
I just want to take the time to say thank you for the awesome content you put out❤❤
Excellent first "safe" crush👌
Wow. You took an unwise chance when you went into the vault and that springs coils were intertwined. There could've been a fatal amount of energy stored in those coils. You need to set up a way to move those crushed objects and make sure they are safe. Better yet you need a Lexan shield that you can carry into the vault to protect yourself. Safety first, last, and always. Thank you.
I agree, I would worry that the act of crushing could have interlocked the coils through friction and they only need a small amount of disturbance to unlock and release lethal amounts of energy. Be careful mate
@@RaspberryWhy I was thinking the same thing. And the only thing it needs to release the full energy could be cooling down after getting heated by the press.
I was thinking the same thing given that I couldn’t tell if the spring was fully broken or locked together. Not sure how you could “disarm” that situation safely though other than somehow cutting it in half without having to get close to it in the first place.
Lauri and Hanna this was such a great video of the new bunker being used. you should build a tool that will make it easier to make the spring shot farther and with more pressure.
lol the classic: "Spring smoke, don't breath this" :D (15:23)
Try placing things inside the spring. People in the US place footballs.
I'm glad you were able to get advice from your viewers about the door and echo cancellation
Definitely the funniest HPC video to date!
Beyond your content, what makes you two awesome is that you are so wholesome. Greetings from Idaho, usa
I'm just starting to watch it but I've been waiting for this one for years... I hope it meets my expectations.
I love your channel, your emotions are the epitome of a scientist in the cycle of science
Love this channel 👍
The sound effects are top notch 👌 👏
Nice to see you finally built a containment area. It's so cool you built a livelihood out of childish fascination. We truly never know where life will take us.
Love this channel
Hydroolix applied...........spring went boing! ....Nice!
The sun is out and the snow is gone, perfect spring video!
" well that was completely Stoopid". Hahahahaha and completely entertaining ..love your videos 👍👍👍
Super excited for all the dangerous presses coming up :)
nice havent stopped by in a while im glad to see that bunker looks very nice and sturdy
An appropriate subject for the start of Spring
Very cool! Thanks for the fun time! 👍👍👌
So entertaining that I forgot all my worries!!! Thanks
Woohoo! Looking forward to watching your new press destroying stuff 👍🤙👊
HOLY COW THAT WALLET BLOODY AMAZING!!!
I rarely like sponsorships, and mostly they're just VPN. But this is a great sponsorship. I'll check it out.
I also love your new setup. Ace video
I have used a hydraulic press for decades checking both suspension spring rates and valve springs. Only compress them an inch on coil over springs and to installed height.
I have scared the hell out of myself on road cars removing front coil springs,, on double wishbone cars. Had the jack slip out on a spring between the wish bones with a big twang. Luckily I was hanging on to the jack handle and stepped back quickly. Spring on the top wishbones are even more scarey, salvaging components and cut a spring in the middle with an oxy torch. Spring even then had a great deal of energy. The other side I heated every coil red hot and sagged it a lot. Far safer though NOT if you wish to reuse the spring. I have a coil spring compressor that works on Mac struts but not in that situation.
Back when struts came without the new spring, I found that the safest way was to use the weight of the car to compress the spring so the big nut could be put into the new bearing at the top.
yes, thats we wanted to see here :-) amazing, love it
I love this channel !!!!
Springs before the bunker: 👺
Springs after the bunker: 🥺
"it's totally overkill" nah, Lauri, you just haven't gone the "when you have a hammer, everything's a nail" phase with the bunker yet. There's definitely a lot of scary crushables.
This episode is hilarious. well done guys.
Great spring steal manufacture !
Excellent content as per usual, if no one has mentioned it, something dangerous to crush, the biggest bearing ball you can find with only the hardest tools, for science of course.
The spring that wouldn't spring lol. Another great video! Thank you!
Love the sound that the spring made when it kicked out :D
That smoke is a good demonstration of the principle that pressure makes heat. And then even sparks, very nice :)
This Awesome❤❤
Thanks for buying that Big press. Look forward to seeing what it can do!
I'm sitting here in the office laughing my ass off... The fun with you never ends! Even a failure like that is awesome!
another great video!! thanks
Hi ! You should try big reversed pole magnets !!!
You guys are nuts! I love it! Be safe.
I used to work in factory that. Produced rock crushers and once witnessed a spring that was a little heavier and stronger pop out fly across the room and hit the brick wall that was eye opener that day 😬😬
I thought that spring would do a lot more than that but still interesting to see. Its fun watching you crush things. I dont know if I want to know what i want to see crushed next.
The sound effects from that lady on the last press were priceless (giggles) 😂
maybe you can create a springlauncher 5.000.000? create a tool with a planned weak point that fails at a given pressure and releases the spring? maybe hold the spring with bolts with different diameters and check when they fail?
The high speed sounds like cows mooing! Love it!
Maybe file the sharp ends of the spring so they can't dig into the table or tool. Thanks for your videos, they are great!
The new press and bunker are great. Maybe revisit the ceramic bearing ball? I seem to recall that the old press and even the smashinator 5 million could not defeat it.
