Turning Junk Into An Electric Aluminum Can Crusher!

- I have sooo many aluminium / aluminum cans that I need to either recycle for profit or crush to use in future projects! And since I'm a sucker for new projects, this was an easy choice!
Follow along as I turn a bunch of junk into an electric can crusher, fully motorized to make the crushing easier. At least that was the plan. And for the record, I'm a big fan of recycling, but if I can melt and cast some aluminum, I'm going to! So check out this build, and just a small heads up - it's not like any of the other crushers you can find on youtube!

Entertaining, but I always flinch when I see you spinning that circular saw blade without a safety guard. Take care, man! We like you with all your fingers :)
Thanks man, appreciate the concern! It wasn't spinning at full speed and it was spinning backwards, could've probably removed a finger either way though. I'll try to be a bit more careful going forward :)
Indeed! Or drilling a hole in it free hand!
@@TryingToBuildStuff Hey! It's been a while since your last video on TH-cam. No need to feel pressure to post. Just hoping you're well. Saw a bunch of snowy Norway photos and thought of you.
@@oslego thanks for checking in! Just busy with work! Got some ideas for new videos though, just need to find some time 😊
@@TryingToBuildStuff Glad to hear you're ok. 👍
Love this 80's montage, this is straight into my top 3 favourites videos by you
Thanks! I'm a sucker for 80s related stuff, so that warms my heart! Might also explain why most of my builds are MacGyver grade engineering 😂
That thing looked like it really wants to be set free. It nearly jumped out the window!
Haha yep! I need to work on my miter saw taming skills! 😅
Im here to make one. but I think it needs to be a little different lol.
Thanks for the entertainment. 👍🏽☠️☠️
If this machine could talk:
“ME SMASH CAN! ME SMASH EVERYTHING- SMASH SMASH SMAAAASH!!!!!”
I love the face right in the danger zone without safety glasses. It took me a long time and many facial injuries before I learned to keep my face away from the action. I guess if something happened, you’d get viral status 🤘
Dangerous, wasteful and ineffective. What more could you want?
this is genius. best can crusher i've ever seen. speed and efficien... well speed anyway.
I’ve been doing the whole returnables thing fir a few months and make good money on it! However i do get some cans that are too tacoed to return.
Well that was terrifying and I love it
Maybe more of a vertical impact hammer design wud work better
Bro you created a monster not a can crusher. Other wise great job 👏
Haha, thanks! Yes, it turned out a bit.... violent! 😅
😂
I honestly cannot believe your mind didn't immediately go "explosion.. That's the answer"
Think like this man, an explosion moves a piston that crushes your magazine-fed cans, the movement then cycles a slot that ejects and punts away the crushed goods into a waiting plastic sack, that same movement cycles a slot to feed a new can from the magazine.
@@Amishhellcat Haha, I love the fact that I first get a nice comment from Razvan saying I should be careful to not hurt myself. And now a suggestion describing pretty much the inner workings of an automatic rifle 😂I am a fan of explosions though!
@@TryingToBuildStuff safety is vastly overrated :p
😂
Well that's 5 minutes I will never get back.
Soda and beer cans are easy to crush. How would this work on cans that fruits and vegetables come in?
Great video, love the end!
Thank you! Think I need to rethink the design a bit 😅
@@TryingToBuildStuff fun to watch, choreography was awesome.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that! 😊
I love the safety boots😃
Safety first! :D
Jw what if you use a conveyers belt and a push pin, maybe a grab hook with a pry away plate?
😂 Well, everyone somehow starts! But, don't be discouraged, the next time it will certainly succeed.
😂 I hope so!
😂 RESPECT! 👊
Every great idea starts with a horrible plan to build on. You've got to test the waters, & being that you posted it you helped us skip the worst parts!
Hey do you know if there is a way to build a can crusher inside a recycling bin in a way that it would be quite light but still poweful
Oh, that's an interesting idea, I might need figure that out and build one! Thanks for the idea!
@@TryingToBuildStuff Thanks if you figure out how to make one please do a video of how to make it as I run a charity where I collect cans crush them then sell them and give the money to charity. It takes me flipping ages to crush every can one by one so it would really speed up the process.
@@XabiExplores That's lovely! Will ofc make a video if/when I figure it out! 🙂
@@TryingToBuildStuff great
1m29s into the vid and you got me already. ! more sub
I want a self-reloading design that doesn't require electrical power but a simple mechanical action.
Bahahahaha!!! I love this
Haha, thanks! 😅
@@TryingToBuildStuff was concerned about your safety a bit there my man!
@@Ranger_1349 Thanks for the concern, but don't worry! I'm professionally unprofessional!
Add a flywheel and don’t start with the can in position as the motor doesn’t have enough torque to crush it on its own. Use weight and momentum 👌
Dude, I was expecting an idea that I could build one.. why didn’t you include the word FAIL in your title! 😂
Haha! Well it worked on 2 cans! 😂
I too like not-softdrinks..
🤣
mmm....qualcuno potrebbe farsi davvero male! ;-)
Why do people from Norway go to Sweden to buy food?
Great question! Mostly because the food is cheaper in Sweden than in Norway, the same goes for alcohol and tobacco. Sweden also has a wider variety of products in the grocery stores, making it a bit more fun to go shopping for food ;)
im from Philippines
NOT SAFE NOT PROPER
The periodic table should dictate how it’s pronounced. Us freedom monkeys have not been known to do shit right, this is a case. I say aluminum, actually I usually say arumi because I wish I lived in Japan. Hahaha
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahhahaahahaha
the periodic table table says its Aluminium
ridicule 😂😂😂😂
