Wow, that is fascinating. Who would think a pressure washer could accomplish all that! You are amazing. This creates so many artistic and functional ideas. I would not be inflating something next to glass doors though and I would stand behind a wooden door in case of an explosion from weld failure. You never know till it happens.

As a retired engineer, I would warn folks, this technique is VERY dangerous. Especially if there is trapped air in the metal volume. This can kill.
@ConnorHolland Ай бұрын
I have been doing this for 10 years, and have never had any accidents. If you safely vent all the trapped air, and take the same precautions as when using an ordinary pressure washer (goggles & gloves) there is no danger
@NamLeLa Ай бұрын
What do you have on the tip of the pump to have it sealed that good?
@ConnorHolland Ай бұрын
Inside the tip is a rubber cylinder with a hole through it, just holding it down is enough to seal it at this pressure

It might work, but in my mind the flattening would make the weld seams split or too weak to reform into a sphere

The pressure from hydroforming is a very strong force, that would be hard to effect. But it would be a good way to add decorative designs before inflating, which I'll do for a future laser video

You can still inflate metal with air (I call it Aeroforming), it is just more dangerous with potentially explosive pressure releases, I only use a limited pressure under 100psi

Very impressive, particularly after the problems you had with some of your other sphere attempts. Were the dimensions used to develop the initial truncated cones particularly critical?

I just estimated the cones to create wide bowls rather than hemispheres, spheres typically have a octagonal cross section before inflating: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHXZiHd5oseDrtU

@nunyabisnass1141 2 ай бұрын
Looks like the problem is that the edges that become the equator have to contract while the poles expand. Its still trying to be a sphere. So i guess youd have to get the poles to contract and the equator expand, so an inverted blank so to speak. So i think theres no choice but to make it in three oeoces, with the edges curled in, however the most force wont be where you need it.

What setting do you have on the tig-machine? what amps and how much gas? steady flow of amp? and do you not use any filler material? It seems to be quite hard to find the right setting without burning through the material at some point!
@ConnorHolland 2 ай бұрын
Hello Ólöf, the general TIG machine settings I use for 1mm thick steel can be seen at 1:57 in my hydroforming tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oX7daX2jebOJr9k , argon flow set to 8 liters per minute. Recently I've learnt that gas after/post flow should be 4 seconds or more so the red hot tungsten still has protection. I find the right settings by making test pieces from the same metal as the workpiece, adjusting amps and welding speed (faster = less heat) until the welds look good & strong. I use filler when the two sheets are not flat against each other, to stop the edges burning though. I'm still learning new tricks by watching welding tutorials on KZbin & practicing

Previous job we used hydraulic presses to clamp the edges down then pump in high pressure air to inflate the metal to perfect domes. We were doing single sheets but maybe a ring shaped clamp around the edge over your welds will give better results to reduce stress points?

@@ConnorHolland we were doing .015 to .125" stainless. Grain direction is something else to consider while forming. I agree with a previous comment talking about Colin Furze attempt at making spheres. You can just cut a section out of the formed sphere. It's not the zero waste method you were trying for but should work better.
