Today we are going to find out how bad idea it is to crush stuff with hydraulic press without safety glasses or other shielding. We are going to use our 150 ton hydraulic press to crush playing cards, ball bearings and bearing balls. As an stunt person we have our brave watermelon with candy eyes to give scientific data and valuable worksafety lessons!

There is all sort of dangerous things - and one of the worst for horrendous failures is the energy within an object that is built up from strain and pressure.....

Looks OK - then "POW!" - Your fucked.

There is bending metal in a press to make things of particular shapes - which is fine and dandy like cotton candy, and then there are things like this.....

I don't know the force but 10 - 20 - 30 metric tons... that is a LOT of strain energy INSIDE the ball bearing.....

Yeah ball bearings are fairly hard, and they do compress elastically like tennis balls, but only a tiny amount and with enormous amounts of pressure... so when they shatter - they are in a sense, exploding kind of like a tennis ball popping, but because all the strain energy of compression is released - they more or less detonate and the pieces seem to mostly go sidewards..... It's like busting a house brick with a hammer - but the energy is SO much higher... that the hard steel just "blasts" outwards....

If you increased the durability of those two " pistons " (Like made of titanium), would the force of explosion be increased?

Titanium - with proper alloying and heat treatment etc., isn't a miracle material, it has some highly desirable properties and also some undesirable properties. Like all things in life - its a compromise. Search: NASA titanium properties e.g. https://www.thoughtco.com/meta....l-profile-titanium-2 ------ https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/cita....tions/20050182936/do

@Life_N_Times_of_Shane_T_Hanson: With statement I shall actually look into durability of materials in reality, thank thee for giving any reply, I love calculations and perceptions on how materials react with the stated environmental perceived perspectives. We are surround by Illusions, wanted or and deemed otherwise, by are constant and not negotiable.

Love to see a dynamite explosion shoved up someone's ass, cause I'm evil and curious. Least I'm honest

I'd like to volunteer a faggot or a pedophile or a tyranny for the experiment!
