Vid of our can smasher

Here is what happens when your a beer drinker, a machinist, and a race bike builder and you have nothing else to do.

We built this in the shop we keep our race bike in years ago, just thought I would share a vid of my son using it.

Kinda dangerous, isn't it? :aigo:

Weaksauce! Its needs to automated so you can play Russian Roulette...... LOL!

BTW, you drink weak beer. :-[p

I hope there is some kinda sensor as to when to crush... would such to be a little late on putting the can in and whoops... there goes your hand... other then that, great device..

 

[Loki]

Nice.

If you notice in the back, the kid is pressing a button so after he puts the can in then he presses button and smash =). Looks fun, but being automated would be better

Or you could make a guide for the cans to fall into a line, kind of like a gun and how the ammunition goes into the chamber.

yea but then u have to worry about how soon the thing smashes the cans and what not because then it might overflow or too many cans will start pile up & get stuck.

Yes, it has a manual one way air valve with an auto return, so we control when it smashes the can. Needs about 90 psi of air to work right. The noise in the backround is the air compressor running. It works really well.

CK thats a sin to crush a full can of beer. lol sacrifice something not so great and use a can of soda. :icon_bigg

 

[Ckanderson]

when you get older like me, the cheap beer taste just fine! 12.99 for a 30 pack is ok in my book. Since we usually have 10-15 guys hanging around the shop on the weekends, this is affordable. You would have to have a good rain coat on to smash a full can. Just a few onces of beer left in the can will spray everywhere!

well if your giving it to tons of people then yea, makes sense. if im drinking beer to taste it, i drink much better stuff. but for shop drinks, that works great.
