    I know he’s said it himself, but I love how Colin sticks to making it so everyone can follow along at home even with out the fancy equipment. He said that was why he was afraid to upgrade shops because he wanted to do stuff that everyone else with basic equipment could do. Using the circles to show how to still accomplish the forms with out the most top of the line laser cutter was a top act! We appreciate you Colin!

      It is but there's actually a better workaround for this. You can make templates with a compass and some basic layout math. Once you have those dimensions you can make a template from card stock and cut it out. I had to make them in welding class.

    My favourite hydroformed spheres are from regular icosahedrons, and the nice thing about that is that it's all straight welds of equilateral triangles at exactly the same angle. Downside versus your three strips and two caps approach is that there may be about twice as much weld seam.
    A similar approach to yours but with five strips, is the one used commonly in explosive hydroforming of spheres.

      If the ball was full of air or any other compressible medium, than I would agree that it would be insanely dangerous to go near it. However, with hydrostatic (water) pressure, even if an entire weld seam failed instantly, it's very unlikely you'd be injured. Water doesn't compress, so if a weld failed, it would not explode like you'd think. The only danger I could see with him being so close, is if a weld failed in a way that it made it leak through a small hole that simulated a jet stream of water (not a mist) while the pressure washer was still powered on. That would potentially result in a water jet that could easily cause pretty severe injuries. At the end of the day though, safety glasses would have been my bare minimum if I were to get near it under pressure.

    • @xanderyesilirmak956
      @xanderyesilirmak956 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hydraulics aren't nearly as dangerous as pneumatics. Liquids can't compress under pressure so there's no risk of an expansive failure. Instead of it popping like a deadly metal balloon, you just get leaks. The leak jets might pose a threat to soft tissues, but in this scenario I'm not sure it's an issue. Hope that helps.
