2400 Volt Can Crusher 2

[GG4S3xTo]

Your safety practices are going to get you killed soon!

[9Barry009]

This could have many applications, molding, repairing, and fusing together of aluminium sheets. If you set up several banks of capacitors and fire them off in sequence. Good work!

[MIGUELch8]

sorry to say this but pretymuch its a useless can crusher.

[MrTHEORIGINALICEMAN]

I have a 1K questions, but I will just ask a few.

Is there a difference in using a tin (steel) can as opposed to aluminum?

Do the coils contract or is it purely magnet force?

Is it the volts or amps that most affect the effect?

If you could sustain the same VA on the coils would it crush the can until it became a black hole?

How would this affect a water balloon with distilled water, with brine?

What would it do to a piece of silicone? graphite? Mica?

Is it always a repelling force?

[bobdavis321]

@MrTHEORIGINALICEMAN - Its pure magnetic force. Aluminum repels the magnetic field and moves away from the coil. The magnetic field is a factor of volts and amps. It does not work with water, but supposedly water also moves away from a magnetic field...need more research there....

[stevemostwanted]

nice but it didnt crush the can any smaller than it was, so pointless

[wjbitomski]

The latest and greatest in can-crushing technology!

 CooL

[tahoeskiier]

I have seen a few of your vids and I wonder how much your power bill is?

[bobdavis321]

@tahoeskiier - Its about $30 a month......

[MrCoryjohnson1]

This seems like a lot of work and power just to do that little bit to the can.

[lokeycmos]

how does your mechanical switch work? what did you use to make it? TY

[haz939]

Have you ever been electrocuted when doing our experiments?

[benjiboypoo]

do u make al these things u use?

[bobdavis321]

yes it is all home made.

[benjiboypoo]

@bobdavis321 cool. can someone get this guy a medal?

[streetspec1]

ok you did put some effort in it but what is the sense of it?

[Sauer925]

@streetspec1 it demonstrates that wires carrying current produce magnetic fields. With a strong enough "burst" of current from that huge capacitor you can crush cans with this electro magnet. You use this same principle everyday when you plug a device into your wall outlet (transformer), and your care uses it in its alternator (solenoid). Physics is cool brah

[slushdaddy69]

this is soooo stupid

[choicejag]

just step on it

[gaz52]

Interesting way of crushing cans. How does it work?

hello

im researching mr Dingel water spliting and came to idea !!! can you put this coil to a bowl of water? without the can of course!! i think it will create bubbles under water if so it means this is the way of Mr Dingel splits water into hydrogen and oxygen !!! that would be huge discovery !!! any way if you can try to do it then do it and please post results

cheers from Poland

[JerryMan95]

that was preety cool!

[douro20]

Machines like this are used by Remy in the production of fuel pumps...

[ctraugh2005]

That was cool, It startled me when I watched it. I didn't know what to expect.

[armakuni2000]

how many uf. are totally your caps.?

[bobdavis321]

I think they are 3700 at 400 volts each.

[creedrulz6000]

how does it crush the can

[TeslaCommander]

cool can crusher, i always wanted to build one.... saw yours at hacked gadgets. (my coil gun just got featured there:D)

Wat is the total capacity/ joules of your cap bank?

[Bandicoot803]

Have you tried firing a full (sealed) soda can? It might work by adding some extension wire like your washer launcher to keep liquids away from your "power source"! Just an idea...

[drakesolar]

tiny coil is tiny

[bobdavis321]

The coil has to be small to get a large current to flow through it.

[eCicerone]

@bobdavis321 If tiny means a small cut through area of the wire then the resistance goes up and the current goes down.

.

btw, instead of series connecting the capacitors one could parallel connect them, the energy will be the same, but much more pleasant voltage level to deal with and imbalance between the capacitor avoids the stress on the capacitor with lowest capacity, something to keep in mind.

[larryseyer]

Have you ever put a Neo magnet in the coil and fired it?

I would imagine you could reverse the poles of the Neo if you wanted with this... and even re-magnetize a worn out magnet.

Also, have you ever thought about putting a second coil around your DC coil and running AC though it while charging a magnet?

That should 'twist' the magnetic lines of force in the magnet.

Just curious.

[bobdavis321]

The very first one charges faster than the others and does not completley discharge. It reads fine on a cap meter....

[amfan12]

Find any faulty caps?
