Crushing Thick Metal Tubes With Hydraulic Press + Bunker Update 

We had a really busy week so I weren't able to solve all problems related to the FULL MAYHEM :D But next week doesn't have anything else going on than just pressing shit and playing with our new friend BOB the BOT!

It would be interesting to have a thermal camera so you can see the temp change as items are being crushed.

8:00 "so it doesnt move the whole goddamn earth" LOL, I love how you explain shit :)

"Pushing our luck." (And scaring the neighbor's cat.) 🤣🙀

I think it would be interesting to have a thermal camera showing just how hot items can get while getting crushed.

Haven't been around in a while, probably about a year. I'm amazed how far your English has come since you started. Happy to see the channel thriving!

I actually feel bad for the bearing. I hope it will at least take out some lights and make some decent craters in the bunker wall.

This is classic content that I crave. Only thing missing is one of Anni's dangerous animals.

The giant metal ring with the enormous bearings that slide out sideways is just pure rule of cool. Like, I would play with that thing constantly if I had perhaps a smaller version on my desk. Love y'all's new kit, the hard work you've put it seems to really be paying off. :)

The air escaping because it's airtight is impressive! I wonder how strong the steel doughnut is! 😅

That roller bearing is almost too beautiful to destroy.

The roller bearing too nice to crush. So beautiful.

At 5:00 it's a lovely shape for a vase or a lamp base. You could make stuff like that to sell at crafts fairs (or to your subscribers).

We use spring isolation mounts for Large HVAC Equipment in the US. They are sized according to your equipment weight. Those mounts would allow the press to move and not transfer the hard shots into the ground. Is it possible to mount the control panel outside the bunker to protect it even more. Thanks for the Videos. I would hate to have to buy those bearings, they look extremely expensive.

The way the press crushed that thick pipe like it was a marshmallow was crazy to see. ELECTRICIAN is the person you need to contact to do electrical work in your shop.

01:50 Her laughter is very contagious! 😂 She’s adorable!

Quick suggestion when crushing the roll bearings - instead of crushing them from the outside/top of the bearing housing (which is not the force direction it meant to support), use 2 of the same size roll bearings, with a fitting rod between/through them. then crush the middle of the rod (which will transfer the force down to the ball bearings within the roll bearings), until something happens. for suspense, the rod can be of thicker and thicker walls, up to solid steel (of short length removing as much as possible the rod from bending/breaking).

Nice to see you painted the ceiling white!

Your show is incredibly entertaining! I can't even guess at how much cost is involved in your production, but I for one sure appreciate it!

I’m constantly amazed how much you are investing into the channel. Excellent work man

It just keeps getting greater and greater.

Your playground is turning out so great! I look forward to MORE content! Thanks y'all!

I like the way she says "Hiii" 😎

Which one do we want to see first? EVERYTHING. I'm not so sure about the screen capture. The current camera view of it gives it great authenticity. Especially with the addition of the data graph being completely digital. Paras kanava ikinä! With love from Suomesta! Mielettömän hienot upgreidit!

I like the detail of the KONE-logo! In Norwegian that is the literal word for wife🥰😅

Nice lathe work, made the tube air tight!!

Bring back extra content!!!! I miss you guys dealing with the clay sculptures!

I've been loving all the videos with this new machine!

YOU'RE Doing Great - Great Content - Thanks...

You are also almost to 10 million subs! Last time I noticed you were at about 2 million!

Ok that first pipe crush looks awesome hope you will sell these

we are all grateful to you as well Ray, and of course to your family and your employees for bringing the family feel to your channel and for the content. it is certainly one of the best channels on RU-vid because of this. wishing you all the best from all your fans over here in the UK.

The new press is very cool! Crush that big bearing next please.👍🏻

You’re both amazing! I’m watching your videos in years!! Furthermore, I love your voice! So recognisable!!! Keep up the good job!

Still love the Hüdrolik press after so many years 😊

There's actually some pretty cool science/physics happening when a tube like that gets crushed.

This channel is perfect 'food' for the young side of my destructive brain.. I should have made a career in the demolition business.. This channel never gets old! Thank you!!!

Happy to see improvements.

Love the digit force scal in the videos nice touch

We've been waiting!!

You should sell what was remaining after crushing things. I believe a lot of viewers would buy such souvenirs 😃

You did a great job making the tube have parallel surfaces. It was fun to watch the steel 'fart'. Your bunker is looking great!

Thank you for displaying the pressure data!

That pipe squishing was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. You could chrome plate those and sell them as art 😂.

i love the way you talk

I love the new setup.

Take your time ❤. Be safe and keep equipment safe too. Love you lots. ❤

I'm looking at those bearings and I'm already terrified to watch

Always love your antics 😂❤ You guys have the ultimate tensile testing setup!

Sharp uniforms in the opening shot! And yay for eye protection!

Lamp killing asteroid lol😂

Yesss iv been waiting for another video, idk how but this has quickly become my favorite channel! Keep the content coming!

Always enjoyable everybody involved has put a lot of work into bunker and press it will all pay off be safe always

That enormous bearing is really cool. I was not expecting the interior to rotate outwards as well as spin

I'd asked a few times a couple of years ago that it would be interesting in getting a seismologist to measure how far the vibrations from the press could be felt. It may be further than you'd think.

as a fancy coffee enjoyer, I'm definitely looking forward to the world's finest pressed coffee!

i like how this channel went from lets crush stuff for fun to we have a robot arm to move a camera to see us crush stuff. im here for that.

Damn that new press is strong!

If you had stopped it at 5:45. That would be a great pen & pencil holder. Great video.

Watching your channel is just one WTF moment after another. Love it

In areas that have earthquakes, they use devices called earthquake dampers. I have seen them used in building construction and factories under heavy machinery like your press. You might be able to use something like that to mitigate the seismic vibrations your neighbors are feeling.

Looks like a thermal camera should be a nice addition when crushing these pipes.

2:43 Kappa lol we're so obsessed with crushing stuff with incredible weight.

I will be honest Lauri - about a week ago when I laid in my sofa the table beside me shook so bad my coffee cup tipped over. Must have been an afterquake following that hammer crush 👍

Thats insane! the amount of strenth to collapse a pipe that size is crazy

Those bearings look great (as bearings)! Also please don't just let Annie take over!

The next upgrade will be water cooling for the ceiling because of the heat generated by the lights😂 look forward to future videos, cheers from Canada

We all have our favourite corner store. Can’t wait for the piston to go pop!

That’s going to be so cool hanging a camera bot from the ceiling!! I think it would be cool to have sacrificial replaceable plexiglass in front of the polycarbonate on cameras so that if something does hit it then it will break on purpose for a cool camera hit effect! Like an in your face big smash effect! Never thought this channel could get any cooler but it is!

luv you both, things are moving forward & and it's a lot of fun going with you. I can't wait to see what you Blast into Shrapnel next LOL !!...

Excellent content Always interesting to see how different materials react to that kind of pressure. Still can't get my head around the power of hydrologics.

For the robot you could attach a long bar or something with a pointed end so you can make a tool center point at some point on the press so whenever you move the robot with a camera on it, the thing your crushing is at the center of the camera view.

Hey guys! I'd like to see you all crush a tungsten cube with your new press! Keep up the great work guys!

Please keep the humungous bearing at 2:45 It is too nice to destroy. Keep it as a souvenir and call it Humungous Bearing 5,000,000 :-)

You can use hard rubber floor mat,or horse stall mats to help with the vibrational noises.

Maybe put the press on hockey pucks under the press feet, then use stiff springs above the feet and then use bolts to hold things in place, with limited movement.

Looking forward to that bearing :)

"so it doesn't shake the whole god damn earth" LMAO 😂

you should crush different engine components with the new press, would be very interesting to see.

Crushing the competition 🤪

Holy shit that was nice to watch

Strangely/oddly satisfying ❤

coffee part 2 is pretty hype, but idk that huge bearing item looks pretty insane.

That was an impressive crush. Not surprised it needed to be machined straight. It looks really cool when it was flattened

That bearing is way too nice to crush! I want it in my living room.

I really thought it will explode! Impressive!

Those robots are really cool to watch work and operate them

Very nice sharing ❤❤❤

8:58 For non-Finnish audience: Lauri's choice of words makes kinda sense, since colloquial Finnish term for electrician is indeed "sähkömies" = "electricity man" :D

Hello there from Halifax 😊

We use those safety light curtains in industrial machinery. Mount the curtain inside of piece of angle iron so that there is not a direct line between the plastic cover of the light curtain and the projectiles flying.

The last custom bearings that size that our company had to buy for an odd brand extruder, were $26k a piece over 15yrs ago.

Man that is one cool looking aftermath, I'd love to own something like that just because it's so unique.

Scary power!! and 75C? That' hot!

8:58 oh, in english we call them "Emperor Palpatine"

Nice.

The pipe crunching is a new side hustle, making roller coaster wheels. 😂

You should definitely cast that beautifully compressed piece of pipe.

Hello! Awesome as always : - ) I have an idea for the new press. Make another extruder 10 million, and put flammable liquids inside and see how far can you make fire shoot? Also try things that didn't work well with the old press. Maybe a cone shaped hole instead of a straight through small hole in the extruder?

Watching that thick tube buckle up was insane. You would have been maxing out the old press doing that. If you averaged 150 tonnes over 15 cm, then that's a work of about 225 kilojoules. If the tube was roughly 10 x 20 cm, the volume of steel is roughly pi*10cm*0.9cm*20cm, which is 565cm^3 (roughly a pint of steel) and weighs just shy of 4.5 kg. Steel is 420j/kg to warm it up 1 deg C. So 1876 joules to warm the thing up 1 C. So with 225 kJ, you'd have enough for +120 C on what it was before. Of course, the calculations aren't exact and there will be heat loss to the air and metal plates, but being able to crush something until it's 75C is an impressive feat. It's the equivalent energy of a 1 tonne hammer ramming into it against a solid thick hardened steel wall at 48 mph.
