Can 150 TON Hydraulic Press Transform Wood into a Rock

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

I have super interesting new material science project going on! If everything goes well I get the HPC and BTP videos out next week about the thing! So stay tuned in!

[@Boogie_the_cat]

You mean particleboard. Plywood is simply cheap wood. Particleboard is pressed sawdust, etc... Can't make plywood with a press because plywood has actual grain and was a solid piece of a tree, however flimsy and sickly of a tree, it had a structure. Particleboard is the IKEA guff, so there is simply naming convention misunderstanding here.

What's a pound? How much is two-inch in metric?

[@tayzonday]

@@HYEOL One pound is 0.454 kilograms. 2 inches is 5.08 centimeters. At 150 tons (English or metric tons), this press exerts the weight of the largest blue whales.

I would like to see you repeat the first one in this video with a selection of different woods or some bits with different colours. It would be interesting to see what patterns are made by the colours, as it would show how each piece had collapsed and twisted. 💚🐇🐴💚

[@747GhostDogg]

Pretty close to the wood block for dooms day prep that I had suggested bit ago . Very awesome love how the compressed wood block the exterior rim grain wonder how much of a difference in the overall burn time and heat of your compress block compare to store bought.

[@Arahknid]

How well does that compressed wood burn? I don't imagine that it would be fast

[@Boogie_the_cat]

That's why they sell compressed wood bricks. Back when we had a fireplace in house, we bought compressed wood bricks for burning and a single log lasted over 90 minutes.

[@AzraNoxx]

I love how he's probably saying "world's first sheet paper rock" but it really sounds like he's calling that "shit paper." What an appropriate thing to call toilet paper.

[@Fk8td]

You made particleboard, which is pretty tough stuff. If you had any glue, you could’ve came here on DIY particleboard and turned it into rock solid piece.

[@blarggggg]

Except regular particle board is made from compressed sawdust, and this is made from compressed 2x4s.

[@WoodworkerDon]

More closely resembled OSB - Oriented Strand Board.

[@rebasack21]

I think the ultimate test for the items that stay in one piece after being crushed in the rock maker is see which one makes the best hockey puck on beyond the press channel

[@reinaldovazquez5255]

[@ScottGrammer]

I think what you made is close to what we in America call "chipboard." That was pretty cool to see!

[@thany3]

Now I wanna see if you can make board out of chips. Like I mean, British chips, the stuff you call french fries that aren't actually French :)

[@ShadowzGSD]

Most American YT videos that i have seen refer to the correct name of OSB

[@ScottGrammer]

@@ShadowzGSD You are correct. But most folks refer to it by its non-trademark name, chipboard. I mean really, it's a board made out of chips of wood.

[@johnbergstrom2931]

[@WuKingdom1]

Hey guys, I learned something recently thanks to a recent video on Vertasium's channel. When making concrete, silica is added to help bond rock with a cement mixture. So maybe if you added more silica to this experiment, you might get something more solid. Also, petrified wood, which is really rock and minerals, is created from an ancient tree being encased and buried underground. As the wood decays and rots, and over millions of years, the decaying wood slowly gets washed away and replaced by minerals carried there from rainwater. This is why every piece of petrified wood is different. In short, compressing wood to attempt to make rock was never going to work without adding minerals of some kind lol. Still a fun video. Keep up the hard work.

[@hahaimasian]

Yea, if you watched alot of his shows. Most of his experiments are for fun. I think he is an engineer, been awhile.

Try using the press on cork, a reason it’s used in wine bottles is because it’s an interesting material where when you push down on it, it becomes thinner instead of wider making it great for pressing into bottles. What happens if it is pressed behind that?

Wax paper or freezer paper would probably actually turn into a solidified mass, the wax (or plastic on the latter) would flow under pressure and bind everything together. Basically anything that would flow under pressure would bind anything else together. Frosted corn flakes, for instance.

Volvo sweden, in the 60's had a brutal accident where a man was cleaning the tools in the hydraulic press. He didn't shut the engine off and accidently passed the light curtains twice while having half his body inside the tool, you can guess what happened next.

[@sgagyaggie]

Using the nuts, bolts, and wood rounds make a longer (6+ inches). Fill in air pockets by placing it in a mold and covering with resin and use a vacuum chamber or pressure tank to remove air pockets. Once resin sets use a lathe to make something awesome.

[@Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot]

Congratulations! You created a particle board hockey puck!

[@johnsmithfakename8422]

I think this is similar to how wood pellets are made. The wood is put under pressure, which causes heat to be made and the lignin in wood to act as a glue. This makes a very hard and dense wood product, that is difficult to ignite bur burns very well. Keep it away from water.

[@solt87]

[@paulosborne6517]

The Shitpaper experiment gave me a really dangerous idea... You could press a stack of copy paper, with metal washers sprinkled in amongst the paper layers every centimeter or so through the height of the paper stack. With paper being explosive, when pressed, you would end up with a fragmentation bomb, as the metal washers would fly out at high speed with the exploding paper.

[@thesavage2054]

[@jbnrusnya_should_be_punished]

You turned some sticks into the fuel briquette. not bad. but it would be better to make a really solid briquette out of sawdust. Of course, many existing presses do this regularly, but I wonder how much pressure is needed to make its density close to a rock, not just oak (750 kg/m³). I guess 100t press would not be enough.

can you try 2 Neodymium ring magnets pressed together north to north and a second one south to south then run over a magnetic film viewer to see the field a before film view will also be good to see the changes and maybe weight the magnets together before and after

[@MrMetalMaestro]

You could try softening the wood by soaking it in water before compressing it.

[@boneman137]

Would be awesome to make a coaster like this

[@mfree80286]

Oooh.... here's one. Get some dry sticks, small ones up to thumb sized. Dye a few, bundle them up, stand the bundle in the press, sprinkle with... hrmm... a little elmer's glue is probably good enough, and pack it down. Let it dry for a few days, then sand and polish. This is sort of what's done with heather sticks, if I recall correctly, to make decorative jewelry.

How to turn that wood into rock : Compress the wood under at least 200 tones, and keep the pressure on for at least a full month. Slowly increase the temperature to between 200°C and 300°C. As the temperature increase, have some acidic water loaded with minerals percolate thru the wood. Keep that step going on for at least 500 years while maintaining the temperature.
