- How strong/stiff are car springs? We test car spring, van spring, downhill mountain bike spring and some home made metal springs that are made from copper, aluminum and silver. We use our 40 ton Hydraulic press and 150 ton and 5 ton force sensors.

Hey if you want to see more important test video here is link to our second channel where we explode some grinder discs :D czcams.com/video/4ttaUA4y1c4/video.html
It looks almost as safe as this :D :D
We need a force-distance graph!
Thank you for the imperial units
Compress one completely into like a halfopen cylinder, lock it and shoot it
Did you take any before/after length measurements of the commercial springs? Im curious if the full compression created any permanent deformation of the spring metal.
I love the use of a hockey puck for a rubber shim!
Compressed springs are terrifying. I'd like to see some thermal imaging on that spring while this is happening.
We need to make this happen for more than just springs. It would be interesting to see thermal images of everything they crush.
there should not be too much temperature change, because springs don't have a lot of dampening to them. The work from the press is stored in potential energy in the spring and not heat.
This is why working on garage door springs is terrifying.
Pressing one down is close to the energy of a rifle round, the Transit spring should even exceed regular hunting ammo.
@@harzer99 Every time you deform a material, whether it returns into it's starting shape or not, you generate heat.
Take a rubber band lightly between your lips and stretch it. It will get hot. And when you release it, it springs back into it's initial shape.

But I've never broke a bone and I drink tons of milk. Does that really make a difference?
@@thebirchwoodtree All the studies are observational, and they have mixed results. Many even have negative results, meaning that drinking lots of milk may weaken bones. One thing is certain, weight-bearing exercise will strengthen your bones and avoiding it will weaken them. Unless you have an actual calcium deficiency, which is very unlikely, that effect is far more important than how much milk you drink.

The guy that came to fix my garage door said that those springs can straight up kill you. Even when looking at documentation and walkthroughs that said that the repair job is "easy", I left that one to the professionals. I know some shit, but I also know my limits.
Don’t try this at home, *puts away massive hydraulic press* oh man
This joke is kinda broken when you can buy one to do this kinda stuff at Supercheap (or.... Harbor Freight? I dunno whatever automotive store is in your country) for a couple hundred bucks. Its not automated, which makes it worse.

Engage safety squint.
To be fair, your eyelids wouldn't offer much protection in case of an escaping spring.
DerCrawlerVomUrAnus yeah but it'll lose speed and force coming through the camera and being converted to data, by the time it comes through the front of the phone screen itll have lost so much force that eyelids should give the eyes enough protection
Same 😂
I kept mine half closed.
I dont even have to watch this and i know how dangerous its going to be. Prolly the most so far lol
I had the springs waiting on my shelf probably something like 6 months before I felt like doing this :D But I am really pleased on my safety planning with this one and there was absolutely 0% risk but it just feels really wrong to do this :D

"Don't try this at home!"
*Wait was i supposed to have a hydraulic press at home?*
Worked in a factory that made air brake actuators. The springs in those were similar to the first couple springs but only about 2/3 as long. Those compressed just fine with a heavy air ram.
There were a few holes in the roof insulation from the actuators coming apart and parts being propelled from the springs, heh. So never try to take one of those apart without using the safety bolt that comes with them.
The safety bolt is called a caging bolt. Unless you're talking about something completely different than what I'm thinking you are.
@@zachaliles That's what I was talking about, but most people probably don't know what it's called. The little saucer actuators only have a tiny spring in them, but any of the actuators with the E-brake on them have a big spring compressed down to just a couple inches even when no air is on. Some special types even have two big springs, one inside the other. The big air ram would just barely compress those at the same time, but a hydraulic press would make easy work of it if you could keep them from slipping.
8:39 Welcome to another episode of the Muscle Press Channel!
Today we're going to press some springs with our 100kg press muscles.
Scale technician here, looks like you need to disable zero tracking on the R320. If the weight applied is low and slow the indicator will ignore it, generally to combat environmental changes such as temperature and movement. That is why when you take the weight off since it is faster it displays the reading as a negative value. If you get the message I can explain how.
I tried this at home. I no longer have a home. Please send me a new home. Shipping Details in the comment section below.

"Welcome to my laboratory where safety is number one priority"

The safety setup reminded me of the band "Disaster Area" from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
"Regular concert goers judged that the best sound balance was usually to be heard from within large concrete bunkers some thirty-seven miles away from the stage, whilst the musicians themselves played their instruments by remote control from within a heavily insulated spaceship which stayed in orbit around the planet - or more frequently around a completely different planet."
Your last video made up for many other videos that didn't get high view counts. :-)

I'm genuinely surprised the van spring didn't launch itself halfway to Sweden. Also, crushing the phone so the marketer doesn't get you warms the cockles of my heart 😀
Don't try this at home?
Like i have a multi-ton hydraulic press at home 😂
Some people might have it.
Fuck i swear to god people make this 'joke' literally every goddamn video.
I don't have springs :(
Hydraulic presses are pretty common machines on small workshops and even schools so I think it's good to tell that the stuff we do is stupid and we use lot of time and money on our safety. I had to spend over 200 euros on polycarbonate sheets to get the machine extra safe for this one. If you just throw something like this inside of the press and pull from the lever you might lose your head.
@@HydraulicPressChannel Or might lose some windows if you misjudge it.

Thank you for explaining the safety measures in place. Even with the shields I thought the van spring was going to slip out and break something.

I think this is the only channel in existence that can get 70-90% viewer count near the end of the video as people wan't to see who needs flattened and that phone looked dangerous!
“don’t try this at home”

@@HydraulicPressChannel I'm sure you could take it back out on the ice.
Glad to see the complete respect for the energy contained in a compressed car spring!
2:05 "IS THE METRE DOING ANYTHING!?"
I like the way he says that.
I'd love to see you compress some leaf springs, steel and fibreglass would be cool, maybe even make some from steamed laminated wood? Set up a cool rig to mount them so the ends can't stretch apart so it's more like when in a car or truck :D
I was compressing some springs yesterday! (with the proper tool of course) If you do a lot of strut-changes you definitely have a feel for how strong they are!
I am glad you explained your safety measures. I was reassured that you took such precautions.
That thing that happened with the first spring is common to a lot of digital scales. They tend to drift, so they program them to accept any small changes while they are at zero as just the force gauges drifting, and so they zero them out.
It is like my kitchen scales. If you add something light like almonds to the scale one-by-one, it remains at zero. Then when you remove the almonds, it shows an accurate, but negative, mass.
“”Luckily nobody died””
Those are words to live by. 😱👍
"I think it's flat now."
*continuous pressing*
I don’t know what I like better: The experiments or the narrative. Either way: great fun!
Friend of mine had a garage door spring from an old 25’ garage door crack and decompress while he was removing the old door. It literally cut his arm almost 90% off. He now has about 5-10% use of his left arm from elbow down. DEFINITELY NO JOKE!!!!
Professional dangerous today? I love it!!
He: "don't try this at home"
Me: "alright man i won't". I won't use my hydraulic press which i usually keep in my garage"
ya know you can buy manually operated hydraulic presses for a couple hundred bucks? Cheap joins like supercheap auto, or harbor freight would have them. I use mine for seating bearing.
I was just thinking this morning - I’m ready for spring! And this came up in my feed!
"first major accident of the day, luckily no body died" *laughs*
We love your chanel, grettings fron Ecuador Southamerica!!
@Bill Williams i mean People maybe dont know where it is
Only if you are stupid and dont know geography
At one moment I thought the spring was gonna smash my screen.
Digging the hockey puck.
I added helper airbags inside of the rear coil springs on my car. Since the coil-buckets were jagged, I machined some hockey pucks to fit into the center holes and have a shoulder to protect the airbags from the jagged edges. Works well. I've also mounted my various air compressors and other heavy-vibration tools on hockey pucks, they're cheap, strong, and long lasting.
Holy sh*t!
That aluminium one was a violent one. Never thought it could result in such explosive forces.
I have a whole new respect for aluminium springs.
Holy moly...

@@calebmaness5557 bruh
The metal holding the spring to the bottom of my very first car broke this August while I was driving. It felt like I hit a bump and there was a terrible metal grinding noise. It was terrifying. So remember kids, always make sure that you get a look of the underside of a car before you buy it, because mine was all rust underneath.
Another idea I have is to press different hard candies like gobstoppers, boiled sweets, aniseed balls, pear drops, and so on.
Maybe try them individually and then try to see if the pressed pieces could then be pressed together further.
I can’t be the only one that wanted one of those springs to go flying...
I love the way he speaks and sounds 😁😁
Coil springs are rated by inch pounds. Compress the spring one inch to find its rate.
The bike spring was marked 300lb which with a big long lever is still fairly soft. Valve springs are often more. Though most will not compress one inch.
Though I have used as light as 225lb spring per side on a tintop slicks and wings racecar rear. 24" long suspension arms. Same car as much as 1360lb front. Very short pivot to mounting point.
Compressing springs fully usually ruins them. They get shorter and more than often break which can be a little scarey as they sometimes shatter.

Try crushing a running 2-stroke engine. Would love to see if it just stops or explodes.
Depends what angle you crush it from. Either way it will just stall.

That's not a hydraulic press . That's a pneumatic dildo .
It would be interesting to take large suspension springs and connect them to a tow motor battery (48V, LOTS of AMPS!) and let them glow orange and stretch them a few cm, allow to cool and test their strength, etc. Also try tossing them in water while still super hot and glowing to see if it changes their characteristics, etc. I only mention this here as this would be extremely dangerous and fun to do and if anyone would be keen on doing this, it would be the great folks at HPC! :-)
Do the blacksmith way. Get it red and dip in canola oil or expensive quenching oil. Then temper at 400 degrees. That would be bloody strong! I wanna see it
I love how it says dont try this at home as if we all have a hydraulic press and extra car springs
Who has a hydraulic press lying around at home? Like here...
*raises hand*. ya know they are only a couple hundred bucks for a manual one, right? Like you can make one with a bottle jack and a couple hours welding. I use mine all the time.... This is like when on facebook people watch those diy videos and are all 'oh yeah, sure DIY - if you have like $500,000 worth of tool and an engineering degree" because someone used a drill and an anglegrinder.
The title makes me want to try this at home

I love the extra content the most
When I helped my friend to move rooms I disassembled his bed. His bed had a pretty strong spring (but by far not as strong as car springs). It had a socket built in to stop the spring from popping out all the time without the upper part of the bed. So when I reassembled the bed in the new room the spring popped out all of a sudden and hit me right above my eye. I had to get some stitches and experienced alot of pain that day but I also was so happy that it didnt hit my eye because I would have lost my eyesight for sure.
So be really careful guys with springs, even those who look really harmless can be as dangerous as bullets of a gun.
You should do big balls of different types of tape and see which can take the most force
"Dont try this at home" cuz i have a 150 tons press at home xd
They're using their 40 ton press in this video.
Interesting timing on the release of this video. Just a couple days ago, a photo was making the rounds on Fakebook of a broken car spring... which somebody had stitched back together with a bunch of hose clamps.
