Did you take any before/after length measurements of the commercial springs? Im curious if the full compression created any permanent deformation of the spring metal.
there should not be too much temperature change, because springs don't have a lot of dampening to them. The work from the press is stored in potential energy in the spring and not heat.
@@harzer99 Every time you deform a material, whether it returns into it's starting shape or not, you generate heat. Take a rubber band lightly between your lips and stretch it. It will get hot. And when you release it, it springs back into it's initial shape.
Teeth knocked out? It could knock your head off your shoulders. I’ve heard mechanics talk about springs coming out and punching holes in concrete walls.
Me, reading comment: "Really? The homemade aluminium spring was the one that caused the problem?!" Me after watching video: *RIP Laurie, shop, Finland*
Springs can hurt you, I had a uncle have a compressed spring he had in a vice comeback at him when he was trying to mount it on a shock and he broke a rib. They are really no joke..

@@thebirchwoodtree All the studies are observational, and they have mixed results. Many even have negative results, meaning that drinking lots of milk may weaken bones.

The guy that came to fix my garage door said that those springs can straight up kill you. Even when looking at documentation and walkthroughs that said that the repair job is "easy", I left that one to the professionals. I know some shit, but I also know my limits.

@@mydickisincrediblytinyandi7380 I do. Use it for pressing bearings and shit like that. Hell I've made one out of a bottle jack and a bitta welding. Took about an hour to bash out
Worked in a factory that made air brake actuators. The springs in those were similar to the first couple springs but only about 2/3 as long. Those compressed just fine with a heavy air ram. There were a few holes in the roof insulation from the actuators coming apart and parts being propelled from the springs, heh. So never try to take one of those apart without using the safety bolt that comes with them.
@@zachaliles That's what I was talking about, but most people probably don't know what it's called. The little saucer actuators only have a tiny spring in them, but any of the actuators with the E-brake on them have a big spring compressed down to just a couple inches even when no air is on. Some special types even have two big springs, one inside the other. The big air ram would just barely compress those at the same time, but a hydraulic press would make easy work of it if you could keep them from slipping.
DerCrawlerVomUrAnus yeah but it'll lose speed and force coming through the camera and being converted to data, by the time it comes through the front of the phone screen itll have lost so much force that eyelids should give the eyes enough protection
Scale technician here, looks like you need to disable zero tracking on the R320. If the weight applied is low and slow the indicator will ignore it, generally to combat environmental changes such as temperature and movement. That is why when you take the weight off since it is faster it displays the reading as a negative value. If you get the message I can explain how.
I had the springs waiting on my shelf probably something like 6 months before I felt like doing this :D But I am really pleased on my safety planning with this one and there was absolutely 0% risk but it just feels really wrong to do this :D
Having fixed car springs myself i know how dangerous just taking apart a car strut can be!! Spring steel is so crazy!! Have you seen what happens when people put them in rotary shredder? They EXPLODE!!
Would be interesting to see the difference in strength between a spring brand new vs. the same spring after 150,000 miles. Crazy how different it feels after you change old, shot quick struts
Friend of mine had a garage door spring from an old 25’ garage door crack and decompress while he was removing the old door. It literally cut his arm almost 90% off. He now has about 5-10% use of his left arm from elbow down. DEFINITELY NO JOKE!!!!
The safety setup reminded me of the band "Disaster Area" from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "Regular concert goers judged that the best sound balance was usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles away from the stage, whilst the musicians themselves played their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stayed in orbit around the planet - or more frequently around a completely different planet."
Those videos have also got a lot of views lately so now all videos made afteeär summer have really good amount of views. But I dont get stressed out from views some times you get lot and usually not so much 🤣
3:55 thanks for telling me not to try this at home was just about to take one one of those springs I have just lying around and use my press machine in my room
I'm genuinely surprised the van spring didn't launch itself halfway to Sweden. Also, crushing the phone so the marketer doesn't get you warms the cockles of my heart 😀
That thing that happened with the first spring is common to a lot of digital scales. They tend to drift, so they program them to accept any small changes while they are at zero as just the force gauges drifting, and so they zero them out. It is like my kitchen scales. If you add something light like almonds to the scale one-by-one, it remains at zero. Then when you remove the almonds, it shows an accurate, but negative, mass.
Hydraulic presses are pretty common machines on small workshops and even schools so I think it's good to tell that the stuff we do is stupid and we use lot of time and money on our safety. I had to spend over 200 euros on polycarbonate sheets to get the machine extra safe for this one. If you just throw something like this inside of the press and pull from the lever you might lose your head.
8:08 - Aluminium spring was like 'Ain't nobody measuring me, I'm out of here!' I think this is the only channel in existence that can get 70-90% viewer count near the end of the video as people wan't to see who needs flattened and that phone looked dangerous!
I was compressing some springs yesterday! (with the proper tool of course) If you do a lot of strut-changes you definitely have a feel for how strong they are!
Coil springs are rated by inch pounds. Compress the spring one inch to find its rate. The bike spring was marked 300lb which with a big long lever is still fairly soft. Valve springs are often more. Though most will not compress one inch. Though I have used as light as 225lb spring per side on a tintop slicks and wings racecar rear. 24" long suspension arms. Same car as much as 1360lb front. Very short pivot to mounting point. Compressing springs fully usually ruins them. They get shorter and more than often break which can be a little scarey as they sometimes shatter.
Holy sh*t! That aluminium one was a violent one. Never thought it could result in such explosive forces. I have a whole new respect for aluminium springs. Holy moly...
I'd love to see you compress some leaf springs, steel and fibreglass would be cool, maybe even make some from steamed laminated wood? Set up a cool rig to mount them so the ends can't stretch apart so it's more like when in a car or truck :D
The metal holding the spring to the bottom of my very first car broke this August while I was driving. It felt like I hit a bump and there was a terrible metal grinding noise. It was terrifying. So remember kids, always make sure that you get a look of the underside of a car before you buy it, because mine was all rust underneath.
Digging the hockey puck. I added helper airbags inside of the rear coil springs on my car. Since the coil-buckets were jagged, I machined some hockey pucks to fit into the center holes and have a shoulder to protect the airbags from the jagged edges. Works well. I've also mounted my various air compressors and other heavy-vibration tools on hockey pucks, they're cheap, strong, and long lasting.
Wow, that was seriously dangerous! Good job on the safety equipment. I must tell you, when that one spring shot out like it was from a cannon, I was terrified for the two of you, but your protective gear saved your lives! Three thumbs up for you! 👍👍👍
It would be interesting to take large suspension springs and connect them to a tow motor battery (48V, LOTS of AMPS!) and let them glow orange and stretch them a few cm, allow to cool and test their strength, etc. Also try tossing them in water while still super hot and glowing to see if it changes their characteristics, etc. I only mention this here as this would be extremely dangerous and fun to do and if anyone would be keen on doing this, it would be the great folks at HPC! :-)
Do the blacksmith way. Get it red and dip in canola oil or expensive quenching oil. Then temper at 400 degrees. That would be bloody strong! I wanna see it
The reason for your sensor reading 0 is due to the automatic zero function on the indicator look in the manual for how to switch it off. It auto zeros because of how slow the weight is added, either add it faster or turn off the function :)
When I helped my friend to move rooms I disassembled his bed. His bed had a pretty strong spring (but by far not as strong as car springs). It had a socket built in to stop the spring from popping out all the time without the upper part of the bed. So when I reassembled the bed in the new room the spring popped out all of a sudden and hit me right above my eye. I had to get some stitches and experienced alot of pain that day but I also was so happy that it didnt hit my eye because I would have lost my eyesight for sure. So be really careful guys with springs, even those who look really harmless can be as dangerous as bullets of a gun.
Idea: Press a full pringles can surrounded by stacked rolls of duct tape. There will be nowhere the chips can go! What will happen? (WHO'S IN ON THIS IDEA!?)
ya know you can buy manually operated hydraulic presses for a couple hundred bucks? Cheap joins like supercheap auto, or harbor freight would have them. I use mine for seating bearing.
As a mechanic, even just compressing car springs using spring compressors freaks me out a little, so this pushes my stress levels to new highs unknown.
In a large enough press could you complete smash them, or would it explode? I mean if you keep smashing past the point the spring is completely closed? Would it break, or just smash into a metal pancake?
Hi! Safety guy here (Canada). Your plexi screen is only as strong as your weakest part. Those clamps are designed to hold things together not prevent them from coming apart, if something explodes with enough force that will come apart. If it were me I would drill out holes for lag bolts with washers and nuts. Im not sure how deep your press is but you can get threaded rod that will be as long as the machine is deep. Lag bolts with washers and nuts would drastically improve the resistance of your plexi set up, and relatively inexpensive to complete (probably less expensive than clamps). Please go home safe every day.
Another idea I have is to press different hard candies like gobstoppers, boiled sweets, aniseed balls, pear drops, and so on. Maybe try them individually and then try to see if the pressed pieces could then be pressed together further.
I'm an auto mechanic and was changing struts with a big wall-mounted spring compressor last week and had a spring let go on me while I was kneeling down in front of the strut. The compressor kept it captive and didn't let it fly anywhere but I was close enough to be able to feel wind off of the spring on my face. It had to have been operator error (aka my fault) but godDAMN it was scary. Springs don't mess around.
Now is time for Anni to make play-doh creature with spring hidden inside and crushed with hydraulic press, because it’s very dangerous and must be taken care of. 🤣
You should compress the springs and release the tension rapidly and see how high up in the air they shoot! Of course you would have to direct them with some kind of barrel.
Springs are usually made of a high carbon steel and are hardened and tempered to get the spring properties. Welding wire is not usually high carbon steel
Päivää ^^ I'm living in France.I like your channel and also Anni's channel.i have subscribed to both ;) I wanted to tell you that i like so much when you say "here we go"!!! haha ^^ One of my best channel!!!
*raises hand*. ya know they are only a couple hundred bucks for a manual one, right? Like you can make one with a bottle jack and a couple hours welding. I use mine all the time.... This is like when on facebook people watch those diy videos and are all 'oh yeah, sure DIY - if you have like $500,000 worth of tool and an engineering degree" because someone used a drill and an anglegrinder.
You can build a strong casing for your cameras and use mirrors and tele objectives to reflect the view of the machine/parts to your camera. Like you would point out with a laser of a maze with mirrors. The cameras are safe, you and anni are safe and you have only broken mirrors. :)

Compress one completely into like a halfopen cylinder, lock it and shoot it
Did you take any before/after length measurements of the commercial springs? Im curious if the full compression created any permanent deformation of the spring metal.
I love the use of a hockey puck for a rubber shim!
Compressed springs are terrifying. I'd like to see some thermal imaging on that spring while this is happening.
We need to make this happen for more than just springs. It would be interesting to see thermal images of everything they crush.
there should not be too much temperature change, because springs don't have a lot of dampening to them. The work from the press is stored in potential energy in the spring and not heat.
This is why working on garage door springs is terrifying.
Pressing one down is close to the energy of a rifle round, the Transit spring should even exceed regular hunting ammo.

So be really careful guys with springs, even those who look really harmless can be as dangerous as bullets of a gun.
Idea: Press a full pringles can surrounded by stacked rolls of duct tape. There will be nowhere the chips can go! What will happen? (WHO'S IN ON THIS IDEA!?)
"first major accident of the day, luckily no body died" *laughs*
"Don't try this at home"
Oh yeah I'm sure everyone has a hydrulic press in their backyard shed or in their garage lmao
Lmao most people who watch this do
Stop poor shaming
@@calebmaness5557 bruh
This is the appropriate amount of caution for this experiment. Some people might think it's overkill, but it's NOT.
He: "don't try this at home"
Me: "alright man i won't". I won't use my hydraulic press which i usually keep in my garage"
ya know you can buy manually operated hydraulic presses for a couple hundred bucks? Cheap joins like supercheap auto, or harbor freight would have them. I use mine for seating bearing.
As a mechanic, even just compressing car springs using spring compressors freaks me out a little, so this pushes my stress levels to new highs unknown.
At one moment I thought the spring was gonna smash my screen.
In a large enough press could you complete smash them, or would it explode? I mean if you keep smashing past the point the spring is completely closed? Would it break, or just smash into a metal pancake?
"Hand Press Channel" lmao
TheCalbert Wonder what the pressing capacity is on that new Hand Press. 100kg? 85kg?
2:05 "IS THE METRE DOING ANYTHING!?"
I like the way he says that.
If i would ever do something like that i would definitely be outside the building lmao
Hi! Safety guy here (Canada). Your plexi screen is only as strong as your weakest part. Those clamps are designed to hold things together not prevent them from coming apart, if something explodes with enough force that will come apart. If it were me I would drill out holes for lag bolts with washers and nuts. Im not sure how deep your press is but you can get threaded rod that will be as long as the machine is deep. Lag bolts with washers and nuts would drastically improve the resistance of your plexi set up, and relatively inexpensive to complete (probably less expensive than clamps).
Please go home safe every day.
That looks insanely dangerous. No doubt the energy stored in those springs would kill someone instantly.
Another idea I have is to press different hard candies like gobstoppers, boiled sweets, aniseed balls, pear drops, and so on.
Maybe try them individually and then try to see if the pressed pieces could then be pressed together further.
"don't try this at home" as if i have home
Watching this channel puts a spring in my step!
Does anyone else watch this one with the screen tilted away
I'm an auto mechanic and was changing struts with a big wall-mounted spring compressor last week and had a spring let go on me while I was kneeling down in front of the strut. The compressor kept it captive and didn't let it fly anywhere but I was close enough to be able to feel wind off of the spring on my face.
It had to have been operator error (aka my fault) but godDAMN it was scary. Springs don't mess around.
The title makes me want to try this at home
Then do it
Now is time for Anni to make play-doh creature with spring hidden inside and crushed with hydraulic press, because it’s very dangerous and must be taken care of. 🤣
You should do big balls of different types of tape and see which can take the most force
You should compress the springs and release the tension rapidly and see how high up in the air they shoot! Of course you would have to direct them with some kind of barrel.
Try crushing a running 2-stroke engine. Would love to see if it just stops or explodes.
Depends what angle you crush it from. Either way it will just stall.
Springs are usually made of a high carbon steel and are hardened and tempered to get the spring properties. Welding wire is not usually high carbon steel
"Dont try this at home" cuz i have a 150 tons press at home xd
They're using their 40 ton press in this video.
Päivää ^^
I'm living in France.I like your channel and also Anni's channel.i have subscribed to both ;)
I wanted to tell you that i like so much when you say "here we go"!!! haha ^^
One of my best channel!!!
"don't try this at home" ..... I don't have a hydraulic press at home
@@can03
That's not a hydraulic press . That's a pneumatic dildo .
The detail on that phone cord is exquisite!
Who has a hydraulic press lying around at home? Like here...
*raises hand*. ya know they are only a couple hundred bucks for a manual one, right? Like you can make one with a bottle jack and a couple hours welding. I use mine all the time.... This is like when on facebook people watch those diy videos and are all 'oh yeah, sure DIY - if you have like $500,000 worth of tool and an engineering degree" because someone used a drill and an anglegrinder.
I love the extra content the most
2:15 me when I try to get of a chair while drunk on a party...
Safely do this I had some extreme doubts until they said they would leave the building
Don't try this at home ! Sounds like everyone has a hydraulic press in their homes 😂
You can build a strong casing for your cameras and use mirrors and tele objectives to reflect the view of the machine/parts to your camera. Like you would point out with a laser of a maze with mirrors. The cameras are safe, you and anni are safe and you have only broken mirrors. :)
