Hydroforming Cube with a Pressure Washer

[@jorgliedtke38]

It's more of a stress test for the welds.

[@unoriginalname4321]

And the viewer

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

4:46 - Most. Painful. Beach ball. Ever.

*dodgeball 🤣

Wasn't planning on watching an awesome hydroforming video today, but here I am watching an awesome hydroforming video.

[@alanshelby5980]

Being from the old school of oxy acetylene welding You might try that instead of tig welding . 2 U-shape bent parts to make the cube with 60 % less seams

[@deucedeuce1572]

Even if I know it would never work... I would have loved to see those first one's unfold into cubes. I wonder if that's even possible. Like, is there any kind of weld that can withstand that level of deformation?

[@ConnorHolland]

I do think it will work if I made it on a larger scale, as the steel will be more flexible. The unfolding cube design works when made from paper or metal foil, the Mythbusters even made a lead balloon the same way

[@Lockbar]

Thats a very uncomfortable pillow.

[@jiggasvr6]

Hi, can i ask what gauge plate are you using here , and what method are you using to weld the edges together? ...Thank you for the fascinating content...

[@ConnorHolland]

I'm using 1mm thick mild steel, welded with TIG

[@humdinger7275]

Impressed with that hose and those fittings

[@ovalwingnut]

I've been taught that you can't put a round peg in a square hole. Your video just blew the WATER out of that theory Hey wait! It sill doesn't?.... We kid because we love! Thank you for the video. The effect is memorizing. Cheers from So.CA.USA 2nd House On the Left

[@logancook8983]

would should try annealing the metal at different points in the forming

[@lexvelema5576]

Any tips on how to connect the hose? I welded the nozzle but the tube melted so i had to cut it of

[@ConnorHolland]

I think I welded one tack at a time at low amps with TIG, with a wet cloth around the hose, and cooling it down after every tack

[@lexvelema5576]

@@ConnorHolland thanks hopefully it also works with 2 mm steel

[@ConnorHolland]

@@lexvelema5576 Yes I think 2mm will work fine

[@Siberian81]

Symbiosis of square and ball. I wonder which shape can withstand vacuum pressure? 👍

[@2k7u]

ball also square + ball squall 😎

[@MajorDrinkins]

Great stress test. You can really improve the skill by doing this kind of work. Great training.

[@SufiRepublic]

Nice video, could you please tell the pressure produced by the pump, and tge sheet metal thickness? We would be very thankful

[@ConnorHolland]

90 bar pressure washer and 1mm thick mild steel

[@xploration1437]

Please make more videos.

[@Enjoymentboy]

Interesting. Now do a tesseract.

[@JonMurray]

That cube was extremely satisfying. Awesome video as always mate.

[@ConnorHolland]

Thanks!

[@rubberducki0406]

What is the purpose of this?

[@GWAYGWAY1]

I made two stroke expansion chambers like that, but the welds take a real pounding.😊

[@pef1960]

Well, that was a bust...

[@jamespayne8781]

One would suppose that mechanical stress begins to affect the welds as the angles change during inflation.

[@ClipComment]

Было бы интересно узнать как изменится прочность швов если сваривать лазером?

[@grahamjones1446]

It's like a steel LIPO failure without flame's 😂

[@seabassmastermatt80]

Shame about experiment No1 man. The pop was potentially epic!! Exp No2 a ball with corners it is then.

[@ConnorHolland]

It was close to working, just need to make some changes and try it again

[@firstsurugi5250]

Now paint it gold and put some question marks on it.

[@KinneKitsune]

Love the lead balloon fold

[@ConnorHolland]

That was my inspiration, a larger one should work, just like Adam & Jamie's one

[@ZappyOh]

Why?

[@ConnorHolland]

To see what would happen, is that not why you are here also?

[@xploration1437]

Somebody hates learning…

[@НашСемейников]

Под каким давлением вода подаётся ?

[@haroldsmith45302]

These are ferrigami art objects. Good work.

[@granofon]

Металл 2.5 мм аозможно надуть?

[@ConnorHolland]

Yes 2.5mm will work

[@UNIVEGAMETALLICA]

Too much boom means too much air. This only properly works if you remove all the air. Air compresses and water doesnt.

[@terryatpi]

It’s how dirt bike exhaust are made ?

[@Pikulev_Evgeniy]

Есть какая то практическая польза от этих опытов?

[@makaylabuckman7911]

Was it fun playing with that and spinning it?😊 I mean did I have a good balance...

[@ConnorHolland]

Yes it has a satisfying perfect balance while spinning

[@2k7u]

metal cube pillow is my favorite

[@ChrisWMF]

Try a dodecahedron

[@timberframe4646]

Nice!

[@ANLWhip1]

Now test it with a vacuum

[@DanielLCarrier]

Now do a tetrahedron.

[@ConnorHolland]

Tetrahedron: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jqWafIGYd8ilp9E

[@stomis2346]

Put filler rod in your welds and it wouldnt fail like that...

[@jonathanshaw8868]

Now do it with compressed air

[@0slik]

ok but why?

[@robotnikkkk001]

....OK,THIS *WAS* ARGON WELDING INDEED OR KIND OF THAT SO I GUESS THIS WAS THE BEST OF WHAT WAS POSSIBLE ............STILL KIND OF SAD THAT PLAN A DIDNT WORK THIS TIME

[@3Mwalker]

Brilliant

[@wolfgangweiler3729]

Ohne lange Ärmel viel Spaß beim Sonnenbrand, ohne UV Schutz!

[@thomasmica2856]

[@mcseforsale]

Final exam at TIG welding school!

[@pinedelgado4743]

I wonder if it would meet FIFA-World Cup regulations. LOL!!!!

[@dogedog2447]

Cool

[@Ang3lUki]

These videos scare me, injection wounds are really horrible.

[@KAYSLIF3350]

Heat treat it omg, anneal

[@6B8RX]

It's a Borg cube after bean burrito night!

[@copescale9599]

looks like a Samsung battery

[@Tylersimmons1995]

Not a cube.

[@josemanon6295]

Funny

[@IliadDreyfus-js9oe]

Those aren't welds, you didn't use filler metal

[@djwindkind]

Noice!

[@contessa.adella]

Why?

[@ConnorHolland]

Because I wanted to know what would happen
