Awesome Hydraulic Press Channel

You could use those vacuum space bags to fit extra clothes into your suitcase, or you could go for the overkill method. Lauri and Hanna from the Hydraulic Press Channel used their 150-ton industrial press to squeeze clothes into compact pucks to maximize packing efficiency. It went smoothly, but it’s the unpacking part that might be more challenging.

The Hydraulic Press Channel goes back to basics by showing off their latest tool of destruction, The Impaler 10,000,000. This custom-made press tool has a pointy tip and a matching base, allowing it to poke holes, crush, and extrude objects until they surrender to its force. It’s really good at juicing fruit, too.

The tremendous energy released under a hydraulic press can cause some impressive explosions. In this video from the Hydraulic Press Channel, they show us what not to do when using this powerful industrial machine by placing a watermelon inches away from its destructive forces without any sort of protective gear.

“What happens when you try to cut a saw blade with a saw blade?” The Hydraulic Press Channel rigged up a pair of angle grinders with circular saw blades, then pushed them into each other while spinning to see how they would hold up. Under no circumstance should you try anything like this at home.

Hydraulic Press Channel has smashed many items until they exploded . Fortunately, the humans conducting these experiments have stood behind a blast shield for protection. But what if you stood right next to the press without any safety gear? We now know the painful answer with the help of a ballistic gel head.

The Hydraulic Press Channel has figured out that you can get metal objects to explode even more dramatically by pre-scoring them. In this clip, they start by crushing a series of progressively larger ball bearings, then try the same with one they put cut marks into. The slow-motion footage is really impressive.

Over the years, the Hydraulic Press Channel has performed numerous destructive experiments under the crushing force of their 150-ton press. This video compiles ten times things went differently than anticipated, including dangerous explosions, broken windows, and even watermelon rain.
