Old 150 Ton Hydraulic Press Vs. New 300 Ton Hydraulic Press

Today’s showdown is epic - our old faithful 150-ton press vs. the new beast, a whopping 300-ton machine. We’re putting them to the test, crushing the same stuff side by side to see how they compare. Kicking things off with a solid steel pipe, because why not?
You’re going to hear the strain, see the stress, and maybe even feel the pressure right through your screen. The old press has been with us through thick and thin, but is it ready to take on the new kid on the block? Let's find out together.
And hey, we’re also taking a quick tour of our new setup. We've got bulletproof everything - windows, doors, you name it, plus an AR500 steel roof because we mean business. And the lighting? We’re blasting it so bright, your screen’s gonna need sunglasses. It’s all about getting those crisp, clear shots for you guys.
So, whether you're here for the nostalgia of the old press or excited by the raw power of the new one, this video’s got something for everyone. We’re pushing these machines to their limits to see what they can really do.
Smash that subscribe button if you're into watching stuff get crushed with obscene amounts of power. Thanks for tuning in, and let’s get crushing!

Have you considered building into the window frames a channel in which you can drop a panel of 1/4" thick clear optical-grade polycarbonate? These panels will protect the very expensive windows from hard flying debris, and will be fairly inexpensive to replace as they become damaged. We love your channel!

[@mammutMK2]

That would be a good idea. . because one hit and 500€ down the drain.

[@Speeder84XL]

That's a great idea - despite the glass being bullet poof, it still only takes a small hit to crack the outer layer (which looks terrible and obstruct the view) - then he just have to pay another 500 euro for a new one, to get clear view again.

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

Also if the concrete walls are painted white they will reflect more light and be a lot easier to clean after the food pressings.

[@hundredfireify]

If you need to protect your 500€ glass, you don't need a 500€ glass..

The year is 2050. The Hydraulic Press Channel now has 1 billion subscribers. Lauri just finished setting up the "Super-Duper Planet Crusher 5,000,000", a custom-made hydraulic press with 10,000 tonnes of maximum force. The bunker is now made of 30cm of AR500 steel, with a full 10 meters of reinforced concrete behind it. You watch as he prepares to crush an entire Russian BMP filled with nitroglycerine, while filming it at 10,000,000 frames per second at 16k resolution with a 360° high-speed camera. Life is good.

10,000 tonnes? USA has two presses one at 50,000 tonne, one at 60,000. Google search has one rated at 100,000 tonnes. If we're talking 2050 at HPC and their "Go Big or Crush It" motto - they would need a 1,000,000 tonne press. At those pressures just about any materials used under them would need to be treated as as a fluid in some manner. Love the new press!

To reduce the echo you can hang curtains along one wall, or another option is to bolt wooden battens to the wall at 20-30cm intervals that disrupts the sound reflections

[@HydraulicPressChannel]

The echo removal panels arrived yesterday. They should do the trick + they look really cool ;D

[@Aging_Geek]

wonder if a thick loose curtain (or rug) hung near the wall will help stop flying debris and protect the concrete from damage.

[@supercompooper]

I think this new press isn't just more powerful, it's smoother. I believe that the weaker old press would induce some struggle vibrations or stress fractures in some of the materials you were crushing with for. This new press seems more continuous in its delivery, and it will be interesting to see how that expresses itself.

[@wzdew]

New press is terrifying. I love it. Still, there's something nostalgic about the old one. I can't wait to see what new content you have cooked up for us.
