Back in the late seventies, I worked in an engineering department for a major company. Our mechanical engineer started playing with the basic mechanics shown here but powered it with air. It had a wire feed mechanism that let you stack cans I designed and built the electronics to control it and work the air valves, all from scrap parts in the lab. He fired it up and it smashed them like a machine gun, you only had to keep the feed full.
Wow something good to help me in crushing my cans.Thanks for the video👍
Svaka čast majstore(Serbian)
Great, thanks for sharing
You are amazing. I could never build my own Ken crusher, but watching your work is lovely. Really talented. Thank you for sharing
If you do this in Sweden you get zero money, we have recycle machines in every supermarket we're you get money for every pet bottle and cans you feed in to the machine, they have to be in the same condition as when you bought it, there is a bar code on every can and bottle that the machine scan.
Where I'm from in texas, they pay 50 cents a pound, a pound is made up of about 32 to 35, 12 once cans, so basically each can is worth one penny and half .015. So most people don't even bother recycling them,they just throw it away to the garbage
@@lobogris4806 88% of all cans and bottle are recyceld here in sweden so People docent trhow them away.
Thi is a really great can crusher. Nice job
O melhor q já vim até hj.
Great VId!! i suppose this is also possible for the 0.5L monster cans?? just need bigger square pipe and more strength i guess?
Conto vc cobra pra fazer um desse pra mim
Gostei
Si señor sencillo y eficaz muy bien 🎉
Nice watch also nice work 💯
We have a container deposit scheme where I live where we can get our 10c per can back as long as they are un- crushed.

Valeu.
Those are some flat cans. Well done.
Oi, Qual é o diâmetro do tubo quadrado?
It would have been poetic if the aluminium can crusher was constructed from crushed aluminium cans.
Tudo bom a migo qual o tamanho da máquina
Excelent
Como é o nome dessa peça que vai na ponta da tocha com duas rodinhas para corta sem danificar o consumíveis
Una chica viendo este video, no porque la vaya a armar pero sí observando el ingenio
😉👍
Hola , Puedes poner las medidas del perfil y la barras etc, para hacerlo igual,Gracias
Keep it up, nice video, thanks :)
In germany no need for that we got 25 cent per dose back when we bring the empty ones back to the store 😊
You get 25 cents of your own money back as it is a deposit. So in the end you don't make any money you just use more time and effort.
@@adamwilliams5426 yes you are right but alot of people throw them away because they dont think about the money when they trhow 1 bottle away but if them more it makes a good pocketmoney:)
Ficou topdlinha 👏👏👏
Did you cut out the arcs front the welding. How thoughtful
Great design, needs slightly more room though for bigger beer cans
Sensacional 👏👏👏👍👍👍
Only in emerging markets. I used to collect cans with granny. We used to step on them to make them compact. Then take it to the metal recyclers and get paid money for them cans.
Great idea 👍 could you please let us know the measurements.
Bom muito bom vou fazer pra mim vender) quanto vale um desse ai?????
I like how this made I left a message before I wish I can make my candy crusher similar to the and have it mounted to a sturdy wooden skin and melted to that but my own unique way which Square do or around like a round cylinder or a square you think around would do I'm just trying to get in an advice I like your ideal but I want mine to be similar but a little different
Maestro muy bueno su invento lo e fabricado pero no me resulta podria por favor mandarme las medidas
And now we from Germany yust chilling while we yust give the bottles/cans back and get 25 cent each (pfand)
Germany is great for recycling.
this just seam strange to me. in Sweden we have can recycling. if you bring your can to a supermarket there is a machine there that accepts cans and you get 1 Swedish krona for each can. that is about 0.1 American Dollars. The money comes from the extra fee that every can cost at the supermarket.
this applies to plastic bottles here as well, the same machine accepts and sorts and crush them by reading the barcodes.
His system is better because he makes money on his cans, you do not. In fact you spend more time and money bringing them back and feeding them in one by one so the company makes the money off your work.
Apesar de não ter as medidas, muito bom video.

Você faz pra vender eu quero comprar uma
fantastico 👍👍👍💪
Fine. How about the money?
Depends on the market rate per pound
Better to use your weight by stepping on it than to pay for materials for this hahha😅😅

It's me again I wish there was someone on the south side of Indianapolis Indiana had all the connection to all different metal material fit than whatever that can help me rebuild my can crusher to make it even stronger and thicker and the last for a very very long long time I have an idea on my head and I drew some stuff on paper but then I got an ideal back in my head about the candy crusher that I have sitting at home I'm going to buy one more can crusher off of eBay and that way this one we could take apart we build it make it thicker and stronger than ever with a drop off slot where once you smash the can they'll all make the dispense down into your bucket just like that I don't drive that's why I asked if there's anybody on the south side of Indianapolis Indiana that can drive and being a really good best friend and go from there cuz I do have an idea in my head how I want this to be rebuilt my can crusher I'm going to give it a really cool name Kevin Crusher in that way it can be rebuilt a lot better and stronger than ever and it has to be just a tablet longer and then find someone to help me build a square skid table to mount it onto it and then have the bucket underneath the table with the slot drop in that way it goes into the bucket lucky crushed cans without even thinking one up and then drop it in the bucket myself it'll automatically do that for you but then tell the meantime I'm not hard to find messenger I really would like to do this but for now I have not gotten the extra money to buy the can crusher off of eBay I will do that soon and then I need someone that is really good at welding things put things together recreate things and once it's all said and done I'll paint it shiny green with a black handle that we don't need to paint why cuz I'm trying to say the world one day at a time by Smashing my cans and taking them to cash it in for money or extra money in case if I need to buy something or I need to pay a bill off real quick I could do that or put a little bit of money back into wherever I put my money at but for right now I hope someone on the south side of Indianapolis Indiana knows what I'm talking about you might have seen me at work at Kroger's and you have all this scrap metal whatever or or better yet let's say you got to chop class that you can take and you can make anything you want me and they can help you rebuild a can crusher right now I don't have it but when I do get it I hope someone's out there listening that can really help me out I tried to do things for myself but then sometime I have to have help which that is okay right now I better get back to the video cuz I keep watching this video cuz it's a good one
Those squished cans are almost worthless. Better to return them to recycling machine intact as they pay back 15c each 🤷♂️
I just like watching this video because this is really cool I wish I had the material to make me a can crusher similar to this my color would probably be red and yellow maybe I don't know or green with a white handle for good luck colors or balloon White as Indianapolis colors of the Colts football team that will be awesome or pink because of breast cancer people that survived cancer or any other kind of cancer this would be called the cancer Crusher that's what I would done something like that or kind of two different greens like incredible hawk where the handles blue because his pants was blue and then he was green that would look cool like I said I wish I could make something similar to this on a small little square skid table if I ever gets kid to make the table first then go from there tell the meantime keep up the good work
Blaah ........
Here Finland every glass botlle, plastic bottle and alu-cans we can take back to market, and bottle / alu-can recyckling automat print a receipt, what is = like a money when paying at the cash register.
Recycling pant , every glass and plastic bottle, or alu-can is something 10 , 15, 20 -> 40 €urocent , per bottle or alu-can ....
Easy and quickly system....
Recyclers here in California will not take crushed cans. People hide things in the cans to add to the weight.
That's wild. But foiled by a scale. But wild.
Not going to get much in one of those cans lol
When recycling began here in NC it was a family thing. My parents & I would walk along the roads & anywhere else to pick up cans. Racing events, sporting events & also local bars. The cans found in the ditches sometimes were filled with mud, dirt or any kind of sediment that found its way into the can. We didn't take the time to wash these cans, we were just doing a service to recycle & get paid for it. I bought my first car with can money & rebuilt the engine.
And yes, some people do try to add weight to them by adding sand, dirt or small rocks prior to crushing.
Over here in Australia they won’t take cans of crushed bottles have to have a label
👍💯
Where can I buy one of these machines?
KI DA HORA SHOW 👏👏👏👏👏
This is the number one candy crushing so far I like I wish I knew how to make something similar to this put it on a sturdy small table don't have to be big it'll still serve the purpose and have it hanging over the edge of the table wonder if I can use the heart-shaped metal to crush the cans will that work if not I like this shape or a circle shape or a square for right now I need help making something like this for the apartment life
my local recycling wont accept crushed cans for refund, they have to be left as is unfortunately, guess too many cut hands with sharp edges.
It's because of the plastic liner inside, they need to cut them open and remove that before they can melt down the aluminum. Plastic is just literally in everything now
You should have it to where cans .would automatically go in or fall in.
I prefer getting back my 25 cents deposit per can. That makes me more money.
I like this I believe this would sell I want one
Good workout too
My father's machines ran off a electric motor had a 24in throw could crush and can's length then they would drop into a drum to be taken in for recycling
Please send me the excect size of square tube, length of all metal you used. Is easy to make only when you have correct measurements. Hope to hear from you soon.
Cuanto me cobras por hacerme uno? 😅
if you were to reflect on this project what would you improve?

I wish you can send me the drawings of this so I can get an idea how to make this and find the right person that can help make it because I like this can crushing device it is totally awesome or how much do you want for that one and then I can find the table to mount it to or if you can make another one like this I'm not very picky of colors but I'll just give an ideals of what colors that I might like I'm from Indianapolis Indiana where are you from and this can Christian device I really like you can be making tons of these and selling them and make different colors well back to the video again twice
Основание похоже длиной 40 сантиметров и 50 на 50 миллиметров, в разжатом состоянии должна поместиться длинная банка, короткие банки тоже расплющит. Форма пресса может быть любая, имеет значение только сила сжатия рукой, поэтому детали имеют значительную толщину, пожалуй это самый эффективный и компактный пресс который я видел на ютубе за несколько дней. Детали толщиной 1 сантиметр можно получить если приложить и сварить две полосы по 5 миллиметров толщиной, ручка длиной примерно 1 метр для достаточного усилия
Ada alat yg buat gepengin as Almunium juga kah?
It takes more energy to melt/recycle crushed aluminum cans.
I had to watch this video twice because this is an awesome can crusher I wish I had something just like this one for the apartment life on a strong sturdy table and the choice of my colors purple with black and white stripes for the handle or it could be green with a blue handle I wish I knew someone who can make one of these for me one more thing can this crushed any size cans besides tall boys
You can make one for both fat and tall cans. But he made it for only tall ones.
Where can I buy one and how much it cost?

Great video, but you can get practically the samething at Harbor Freight for 8 bucks

Took 12 large bags full of cans, got $13, I will throw them in the trash before I save another can.
Me too to much trouble to haul them in for practically nothing.

I would love one of these…how can I get one??
Harbor freight has some similar models.

FYI, if you do this in Canada, you get $0 for returns and the cans go directly into the dump.
What returns? He can sell directly to metal scrap when he collects enough.
@@adamwilliams5426 you in Canada?

The bottle return places where I live won't accept already crushed cans.
Bei uns in Deutschland bekommt man pro Dose 25 Cent Fand
Warum Cola Dosen, geht mit anderen auch??
That was about $2,000 dollars worth of collectible Coke Cans crushed!
I collect these too how can i make money from them?

Diy usually means almost anyone can do it - this is more only professionals can do it
I love this. But, my one soda a day doesn't justify it.
Drink more soda! Haha.
Muito complexo, nada prático. Além disso, o suporte é caro!
Bad idea. You only get the deposit for the can back if the machine can read the barcode...
We had these in our high-school in uk back in 1995. We had some fun exploding full cans all over the wall
Nice but where is the recycling part ?
1 kg of scrap aluminium = 3 dollars? Where? In bloody Switzerland or Norway? ;-)
I love all these “DIY” when it comes to stuff like this. You know that DIY means everyone or anyone could do this… show of hands, who has and knows how to use an arc welder, a metal torch cutter…??? I sure don’t. This in my opinion is the definition of NOT DIY… this is “take it to a metal worker” type project.
It’s like saying “hey I can write a program in C# to sort your shoes by color and brand.” Now I can do that, but it doesn’t mean everyone can… but they could if they had the knowledge and tools… that doesn’t make it DIY!
I have to agree & disagree with what you are saying here. Agree that not EVERYONE "has or knows how to use an arc welder or a metal torch cutter" as you call it. But if you are the type of person that considers themselves a DIY kind of person, then you are more than likely to have the knowledge & tools to perform this particular project.
But like you said in your example "but they could if they had the knowledge and tools" and YES THAT IS what makes it DIY!
I only commented because I do enjoy doing as much as I can with the tools & knowledge I have, although limited at times. I am self taught in MIG welding cause stick was just too much for me, too many variables & did the same with an oxy acetylene torch! Some tools & or space to house them are just out of my financial reach for the amount of use I'd get from them, it makes better sense to sub out some of the work. For example, I've held positions where I operated very expensive machines such as cnc routers, mills, lathes & a lot more. What I didn't know I learned, then took that knowledge did the design work, then went to a shop that had those machines. Took my drawings at first because I didn't have the software to do the work with, but eventually built up to it. Still do lot of work such as this but let those that DO HAVE the tools & the knowledge do THAT PART of the work. Cheaper for me for sure, cause I never buy or invest in any tool that doesn't pay for itself within a year of owning it. Although I now have the knowledge for the most part I choose NOT TO HAVE ALL the tools, but allow someone else to do that part for me, it just makes good financial sense to me. Also I'm getting a little tired of al the physical work due to my age.
And if you don't have the knowledge or the tools to do this particular project there are other means to build this device made of wood if you are more of a wood worker than a metal worker. Cause all this except for the welding can be done with grinders, files & hack saws. Though I wouldn't want to do it like that for sure. But you got to crawl before you can walk so to speak.
For THIS project, what gets me is that EVERY video on how to build a can crusher thinks or ALWAYS shows the cans in BRAND NEW PRISTINE condition! When recycling began my pop and I picked up cans EVERYWHERE, ditches, racing events, local bars & at home. These cans were NEVER PRISTINE or in GOOD condition. They were always bent, half crushed you name it, but never in a condition that would allow the to be fed into devices like this. Although this is one of the best I've seen to get the can to it's minimum crushed size. I would like to see one for ALL type conditions a can could possibly be in.
Well there's my nickel's worth. Thanks for your comment. I rarely comment on anything but your comment I could relate to. Best of wishes in your future endeavors
