Hydroforming UFOs - Unusually Formed Objects

[@amandahugankiss4110]

give 'em the clamps!

[@gcl2783]

As usual, interesting to watch.

[@EvgenKo423]

Usual people: Inflating beach accessories. Some guy on the internet: Inflating steel objects. 🧐

[@armandojarrosay7965]

Genial..pero que tipo de material es y que espesor aplica para esa ejecución

[@halifaxlithos2488]

You are such an artist.

[@MarkMLl_uk]

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?

[@ConnorHolland]

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

@@ConnorHolland Takes me back to my engineering drawing sessions: first year at uni, using /paper/ 🙂

[@WELDINFORALIVIN]

Conner, I have a few basic questions. Do you think you could form metal 2mm with say a 4000 psi pressure washer?

[@ConnorHolland]

Yes you should have no problem, mine is only 1305 psi. The bigger the workpiece the easier it gets too

[@TewaAya]

I might try this since grease guns tend to be cheaper for making domes at a scale. I'm making mine more buxom shaped for armour hatches/helmet.

[@cory.orourke.studio]

Your videos have inspired me to try some hydroforming. My first two attempts have been "doughnut" type forms. They are expanding well but im getting some rather large kinks along the outer edge. Any tips on preventing this form happening?

[@ConnorHolland]

Good to hear, my next video I'm currently working on will be about hydroforming circles, and trying different ways to control the edges

[@cory.orourke.studio]

I look forward to it! I love seeing your projects. It's really amazing how great a shpere that first ufo shape makes.

[@Leonelvasquezaraujo]

Greetings friend, what kind of material do you use and what caliber? thanks😊

[@ConnorHolland]

For these I used 0.9mm thick stainless steel 304, and usually use 1mm mild steel for unpolished work

[@Leonelvasquezaraujo]

@@ConnorHolland muchas gracias por tu respuesta

[@celiougo]

Grande Pascal....

[@dbayallday]

How tf did those welds hang on haha that’s crazy

[@averagefpv9449]

Don Quixote is missing his hat bro. He's going to need that back.

[@MarkMLl_uk]

I was thinking much the same. There was a definite "barber's bowl" outline there.

[@salomaomachado340]

Ro que é isto? Que bom metal é

[@Leonelvasquezaraujo]

Cordial saludos amigo que material usas y en qué calibre

[@Venbarable]

Jaka jest grubość blachy ?

[@ConnorHolland]

0.9mm

[@jonanderson5137]

Deeply disturbing.

[@jeandeanmusik]

How’s that

[@samsykes8616]

Weird comment
