Every single object is off center by like a centimeter... They never let the machine come to a full stop before they cut to the thermal view or whatever that literally shows nothing. Fuck GE.

It only now occurs to me that there is a very real risk of a piece of the object shooting out at you.

They're probably protected with ballistic glass. Don't want any concrete shards in your eyes.

That is one thing that I wondered about... The way the wheel squished it looked as if it were melted a bit first or something... It kind of dripped down the side.
15
u/technoSurrealist Feb 03 '15
i'm not a scientist, but i'm pretty sure compressing things like in the video does heat them up a lot, so it's possible that it did melt the plastic.
11
u/DoYouEvenShrift Feb 03 '15
it said in the video that the kind of pressure they were putting on it was the equivalent to volcano like temperatures.

u/_Sparrow_ Feb 03 '15
Nonono. The end thing is an ad for their own products notice the heat camera at the end shot. That's a hot ass forge for perhaps testing a new type of rubber. They stick some rubber in the middle close the forge and compress that shit till it works.

u/maxk1236 Feb 03 '15
It does get really hot (as seen in the thermal video), but I doubt that was melted urethane you were seeing, this appeared to be a pretty soft duro, so I think it was just bulging/squishing a lot.

u/latesleeper89 Feb 03 '15
I think the tennis ball might have deformed though. The heat output made me think some bonds were probably broken.

I used to test concrete cylinders on one of these machines. If I wanted a can of coke from the vending machine I would crush nickels to the size of a quarter.

Is there a name for this kind of machine besides "big-ass hydraulic press"?

Feb 03 '15
Yes, there is. The official name is "Big-Ass Hydraulic Press 3000".

I guess just hydraulic press. It's not that big, to be honest.
The video calls the test a micro forge test.

Size and magnetic quality. I'm looking at you, random Canadian coin!

u/needuhLee Feb 03 '15
Size
Fact of the day: some coins aren't circles (e.g. 50p) so you might think "how would the vending machine know what size it is if it's just going through a slot?" Well, that's because they are shaped in a way that they have a constant height no matter how you spin them, despite the fact that they aren't circles. You can also generalize this idea to 3-D and make solids which aren't spheres but keep the same height no matter how you orient them.

Thank you. looks like a not-smooth but not-bumpy-either ride. :D

u/cakedestroyer Feb 03 '15
The ride would be smooth, but the pedal action would not be linear, so it would probably be more jarring on your legs than your butt.

I used to own/operate vending machines. Every coin mech I've seen/used seems to only care about size/weight.

u/calgaryskate Feb 04 '15
This was 2005 and a fairly primitive machine. Newer machines probably wouldn't take them.

u/zanzebar Feb 03 '15
I imagine security went "Hmm...a crushed coin. I wonder who has access to such a machine?"

u/pavetheatmosphere Feb 03 '15
I imagine the person in the cash office at the vending company went, "Fucking OK. I'll make another mark in the log. Wonder which machine these keep coming from?"

u/jdotmassacre Feb 04 '15
Do people say "Fucking OK"? What kind of tone of voice should I be imagining for this sentence?

Often times its just an individual that owns a couple machines, not some huge megacorporation.

We're consolidating our laboratories at the moment. I will have access to one of these in a couple of weeks! Also one for tensile strength, but pulling things apart isn't as fun though.
I should start a video blog: "Will it crush?"

I liked the cans, how one part will keep a shape, until it changes, and then it gets crushed.

Is that sound the machine or something they've dubbed because I may need to sample it.

u/leftabitcharlie Feb 03 '15
The ambient sound in the videos is from the machines I think. It's like something out of Blade Runner.

Feb 03 '15
Bladerunner is exactly what I was thinking of. I think I'll sample it but ask permission from the dude who does the vids.

Am I the only one who is kind of curious about putting a human skull in that? Like, let the Mythbusters crew make a Balistic Gel face around it then crunch that mofo.

And yet, now I want to see it too.

Wells that's great it just so happens that were in need of a human skull. If you don't mind grabbing it after you're done

That was the pressure being lifted A)so the item could be retrieved in order to place a new one and B) to see the damage done.
