I feel like you should paint the wall behind the new press, pale green, as it is a nice neutral colour [better than concrete] that shows up crushed items very nicely... I always liked the green background behind the small press too. :)

[@peternewman958]

32mm Lexan for armoured vehicles will stop a .357 Magnum at point blank range. Pretty sure that would cover any explosive force that the 300 tonne press may create. I would feel safe behind it. I used to retrofit it to armoured vehicles here in Australia to replace the 19mm laminated glass used previously.

Plant I work in uses a 6500 ton hydraulic press to make solid titanium bricks like this called "compacts." The titanium starts out looking like gravel and has other metal bits mixed with it to make the desired alloy and then compressed together in the compact.

Alright, hold onto your hats, because this is the whirlwind saga of me, a madcap genius with a 300-ton hydraulic press, wrestling the universe itself! I've got steel bolts, folks, and I'm not afraid to use 'em. I toss them in like they're confetti at the world's most bonkers party, and I'm ready to crush. It's me versus metal in the ultimate showdown. I slam down with the fury of a thousand suns, cranking up the power to "obliterate." I'm looking for that sweet spot, where bolts become rocks, and sanity becomes an afterthought. It's a high-octane, no-holds-barred dance with destiny. And what do I get? A stubborn, stuck clump of defiance. It's laughing in the face of my efforts! But do I back down? Not a chance! I double down, crafting hardware steel like a blacksmith on a mission, all to unstick this beast. And finally, victory! A nutcake denser than the core of the Earth itself, a testament to sheer willpower and a bit of madness. In the end, it's a tale of man vs. metal, a saga of triumph and the most stuck part known to KZbin. I'm left standing, a wild-eyed conqueror with a hydraulic press, thinking, "Is this not the pinnacle of human achievement?" And to that, I say, "Absolutely." It's intense, it's insane, it's a rollercoaster of steel and pressure. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

[@MarioDeSTOOPIT]

[@TalRohan]

[@giork2828]

BREAKING (news): those bolts were already, literally, solid steel

[@zachreyhelmberger894]

I wonder if you etched the parts in muriatic acid or something just before pressing them if they would stick together better? Or heat them up to 200 or 300C and then press??

[@notsonominal]

Chuck it in the lathe next? Or have Pommijätkät try to disassemble it, fairly rapidly?

[@henningklaveness7082]

I think you could get better adhesion if you start with uncoated (non-galvanized) screws and give them a quick acid wash before pressing. You certainly have a lot of oxides between the screws that limit cold welding.

[@thehobonoob2692]

I have an idea. You should try and make a popcorn ball with a hydraulic press. More like a popcorn puck but you get the idea.

[@SuperNetSpyder]

That was a serious Finland crapping on Romania LOLOL

[@ryan0348]

This is great! It's like in DBZ where they level up and your like no way. This channel leveled up with the new press.

[@KaiweraGaming]

I'm glad HPC has been going throughout the years, but I miss the bits at the end where they'd squish the extremely dangerous play-doh creations.

[@afdetailing8104]

You could try that with stainless steel bolts. They are softer and they stick/weld together if you tighten them too much

09:28 can you "compress" steel under pressure and with high(er) temperatures at the same time?

What would happen when pressing different items in a vacuum? Illustrating metals welding together in space with sufficient force without the oxidation layer.

[@sulevliiva6582]

I want a series “making hockeypuck and seeing if you can play with it”!

[@100SteveB]

I think you should try it again but with stainless steel nuts and bolts. We all know how stainless steel nuts and bolts love to cold weld themselves together, so i wonder if it would do the same under such high pressure?

[@_DML_]

It needs to be narrower, so that the nuts and bolts have a smaller surface area to sustain the pressure.

[@ObjectFive]

Large ceramic bearing ball needs a rematch.

[@kaseymathew1893]

If you want to truly fuse a bunch of steel bits and pieces into a single block, you'll need to seal them in a thin steel box with steel powder filling in the gaps and heat it up until it glows white-hot.

[@matthewjordan3348]

I suggest you search "forge welding" you may find the answer to your dumb ass comment there.

[@Higlac89]

I wish you guys had a thermocouple stuck in the middle of the bolts so we could see how hot it gets inside. Might be a fun video series too...

[@bennyhill7570]

You should get these set in resin to keep them intact while still able to view everything.

Well, thats the first time ive seen someone cold rivet steel. Lol, as soon as the rod started to deform, i knew the sledge hammer was coming out. Beyonders Rule! We haven't seen any explosions for far too long. But what i really can't wait for is the bunker build video where the windows go in. It freaks me out every time you turn on the new press and squish something dangerous!

[@Yezpahr]

The bridge-testing was very interesting. Perhaps it deserves a continuation, but it needs to be combined with proper scaling. The problem with the previous bridges that were tested was that it was unrealistic if scaled up to the real world and thus the test results meant nothing. The difficulty is to not use concrete because you can't get it thin and functional enough when scaled down. Maybe the bridge testing was overall a bit silly and more of a trial run without being too serious, I understand that. But it felt like it could use some realism to spice it up.

[@noname-ve7wo]

Can you get the bolts red hot in a furnace and then try squish it together
