@@infinitehexington dropping a manhole cover into something that powerful, then proceeding to record a couple feet away with no protection. Or leaning directly over the machine to adjust what is inside.
@@Shedrick_GoldsmithYeah, I was cringing when the guy was moving the LPG tank around although he seemed to know what he was doing (famous last words) but standing around the manhole cover crush was insane. One small piece of metal flying out like shrapnel and it's goodbye eye or possibly fatal if it hits the right spot.
That and now I keep seeing those people pulling tree stumps with a tire and short chains standing by the back of their truck. If that chain breaks, it would leave a mark on you AND your truck!!!
@@huawietelcom4516Only if you like losing time restauring them. The money it would have taken probably would have bought one in running order. There's a reason why they scrap them.
@@huawietelcom4516 It's either a debt collector or his mom sold the bike for scraps, they didn't even bother removing the motor and tires, those can be sold for more lmao
I used to work one of these going back about 30 years ago, only it was about 2 to 3 times larger than the biggest one you see on this video. It was a repurposed rock crusher, and we used it for chewing up tires, from the huge earthmoving ones, those that you see on mining equipment, tractors, Supersingles from semi trucks, and everything else. It was relentless, nothing was ever going to stop that beast. It was powered by a locomotive engine, a massive diesel.
Oh interesting I’ve been wondering how these crushers can generate such powerful turning force to destroy anything and everything but that makes sense if it’s powered by a massive diesel engine
Interesting story. I've always found those monstrous machines fascinating. I didn't know how they were powered. But now it makes sense. By the way, what IS the average torque produced by a locomotive engine?
Listen, and understand! That shredder can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop... ever, until you are shredded!
Anywhere from 3,000 to 12,000 hp. The smaller ones like this one are around 3,OOO hp. That's still nearly double the output of a 2 stroke turbo charged power diesel locomotive engine. A super duper insane amount of power that the human brain can't truly comprehend
Phils47 comment on safety is spot on last year a man working an industrial shredder in a recycling plant and somehow he fell into it his poor body was never found. Alough these machines are impressive the dangers speak for themselves. RIP to the poor man..
Fine, red, gooey paste. Mix of sticky bone dist and some shards with torn ligaments still attached. A heap of twirled hair. Oh, and I imagine it squirts out fluids sometimes at the entry.
Having worked in the recycling industry. It may look good for a video but the real story is when they break down especially when loaded. All the bin waste from the council go through them and the stuff people put into their bins doesn't need to be mentioned. I've had body fluids, sanitary products, nappies, dog n cat poo, maggots etc dripping onto the conveyer belt that runs underneath the shredder while I've been working on it. Exactly 😮 that's not counting the smells 😮
@@Guitarplayer724 depends on what the jam causes sometimes snaps the drive shafts or gear boxes or strips the teeth of the roller shafts . 3 weeks was the longest breakdown that I actually worked on . Nightmare 😲🤣🤣
1) That motorcycle felt like a shame. Not really sure why, but it did. 2) thing sure felt that manhole cover! I mean, it still took care of business, but it FELT that!
I love it when it doesn't work initially, and the person is like, okay, how do I take this thing out of here and reposition it without killing myself? 🤔
What it needs is a dead man's switch where it only operates if you're standing on the lever _outside_ of the machine, so that if your foot ever comes off, the machine immediately stops.
I did security & personal protection work in Iraq in the early 2000s. An Iraqi man told me that Sadam Hussein had one of these machines & he would have people hogtied & thrown in face first. It's horrific when I think about it.
