@@mattmarzula well, youd be wrong. the washing effect that the pressure washer derives its name from is actually incredibly low pressure insanely high velocity water washer. so not hence the name. not at all.
Hi Dave, I just followed this guys little tutorial - th-cam.com/video/kMz8JmDNVyw/w-d-xo.html - one of the guys here brought his electric pressure washer in. It says 1800psi on the front, but I have no idea what the actual pressure required is to do this. Our sphere here is about 24" in diameter - I think a larger diameter would require less pressure ?
Just guessing, but it should work with less pressure because the aluminum is softer. The concern I would have would be the welded joints splitting before you got the shape you wanted.
@@jaybrown6225 thank you! I wonder if one can avoid welding by using pressed-down parts . Can't make a whole sphere (and prob not even a half-sphere), but maybe OK for smaller parts.
This process should be conducted in a pool or pit. Also, some WILL attempt this process without purging the vessel of air which can very quickly turn the vessel into a slice-o-matic.
I admit I was a little worried, but it can't. Water is incompressible, so you can not pressurize it to the point that this would explode. If you did it with compress air instead of water, then it could explode - if you had a compressor with enough power to make that happen. I was worried what might happen if we did not get all the air out and created a small pocket of high pressure - but we just let the hose run until all the air was displaced. Actually you get to see in the video what happens when one of the welds finally bursts - just a spray of water at about 2:12
It’s dangerous but that’s how actually to make spherical metal tank. Some bigger factories would actually use explosives inside them instead of a pressure hose. They would detonate a small explosive charge (in a safe area of course) calculated to deform the metal into a sphere without rapturing it.
16 gauge cold rolled steel. Two cones and one cylinder. Tig welded joints. Simple electric pressure washer used to pump the water in.
I would never think that a pressure washer could put out so much pressure
I know a guy who can do it with his mouth
Hence the name...
Can't read huh?

@@asbestosfibers1325 Where on Earth did you come up with this nonsense?
This is where your welding skills are on display for everyone to see.
🤣🤣
Bro i pressed one of these videos, and now they're in my feed all the time :D
the balls harden
That was really cool
Hi Jay! Can you please share the drawing parts for this kind of dimension ball?
What is the thickness of steel sheet? And what kind of welding did you do on it?
Ow much preassure in relation to wall thickness was needed?
Big job
Great stuff ;).
❤❤❤
hi, I'd like to try something similar - what PSI pressure washer did you use?

If you make any further attempts, please do share!
I like how you knew when to stop -- once it started rolling ("Pretty round!") :). Would this work with aluminum?

If it starts to roll away, cant cant any rounder than that!!
could you shake a little more? I almost caught a glimpse of it's deformation.
Thickness of the metal? How did you lay out the pieces prior to cutting and welding? Overall dimensions?
Это очень круто. Я тоже так хочу
Dangerous looking setup needs containment during pressurization.
Because water is nearly incompressible there isn't an explosion risk if the vessel fails.

Вола не взрываеться это не воздух. Такие вещи делали опресовывателем на 60 атм
I want to see it dropped while pressurized.
it's a video about parkinson's also

Theres no way this is safe, what if it explodes

hydronic pressure testing is incredibly safe in comparison to compressed air.
this is the safe way to do it.
As long as there is no air this is the safest way to do that. Water doesn’t compress.
Boilers are hydro tested for that reason.
