I am going to make a video with all types of "rocks" that are reinforced with some glue! Please let me know what material do you want to see turned into hydraulic-press-super-composite! I myself want to see at least socks! :D
Make a rock out of shit ton of cotton wool
Hay, dry grass, should be available now.
Press a t-Shirt into puk ✌
Glue infused with graphene, for science! Not sure about the ratios, those are up to you.
Thin fabric like nylon tights could be interesting. I'm concerned that you're getting close to an actually practical application with these composite test pucks!
Ok, now compress scissors for the complete game 🙂
I was just going to suggest that…
You win today's internet!
Lmao
Which would win between a pair of scissors and this paper rock?
Ok I must not have read the title thoroughly because I saw this comment and the first reply and were like okay but that’s kinda a stretch that we r all thinking this. (After reading this comment I was like lol that makes sense)
Try shredded paper. Less work to load into the die with random orientation between the pieces. Also have you ever thought of trying to make sintered stone?
Edit: It'd also be cool to see how those compressed paper disks pyrolyze, how dense the resulting charcoal ends up being, etc.
That is the great idea,
He could make a different fixture and make logs out of shredded newspaper, for the stove! 😃
Wait why doesn't he try charcoal... Oh, or maybe sawdust? Those would both be kind of interesting.
He's been doing this without a binder for years - always the same result of crumbly powder like pieces. No where near enough pressure to fuse this stuff together on its own. It's getting really boring.
@@EnsignLovell Charcoal won't do anything but turn to very fine powder.
I'm a printer by trade, & I use synthetic "paper" quite often to make brochures, menus, business cards...etc. Synthetic paper is *VERY* tough material to break or manipulate like regular offset paper is. So...the challenge is this:
Make some pucks out of synthetic paper (glue optional) & then make them explode in the end. They *SHOULD* (hopefully) make quite a paper explosion!
/By the way, synthetic CAN be quite pricey, so be aware of that.
This is a good idea. different types of paper, Bond paper, recycled paper, money paper, etc. maybe the synthetic paper company can sponsor the video.
btw, did dunder miflin sell synthetic paper too
I used to be a guillotine operator and the squeak of gloss paper getting cut made me think that compressing gloss paper will make the hydraulic press explode!
It's a risk, but I want to see it! 🤘😂
@@reggiep75 60 or 70# gloss text will ABSOLUTELY explode under that much pressure. The "stick-tion" between the sheets will hold it together until the very end & then ka- *BLAM!!* lil pieces of paper everywhere!
/But yeah...I know that zzZZZ*ZZZzz* sound you're talking about when a fresh knife gets used!
@@ScottMeister - Right, that's signed it!!
It's gloss paper (various weights) vs the Hydraulic press 😂, but I doubt the press will survive the first attempt of crushing anything gloss/gloss coated.
I seriously hope he does try it tho and covers all the windows in the factory with steel plating. It's gonna be one help of an explosion
Isn't there a synthetic paper actually made from rock?
When rock beats papers! This never disappoints!
Why didn't he try to cut the pressed paper with scissors?
I've seen lots of paper explosions on this channel, but the paper hockey puck takes the cake
You can try sawdust, wood chips, wood shavings, etc. It would be interesting to see the difference in strengths from the various sized starting materials. Particle board vs OSB type of thing.
You could make fire logs that way.
I would love to see how bulletproof the paper is after it is compressed.
Taofladermaus did a collab with them and crushed TP
@demolitionranch
I saw a video somewhere of homemade compressed TP armor that was like level IIA in protection level
It's pretty difficult to get guns in Finland
How expensive/dangerous is to keep the max pressure on the machine once it's there? I think a lot of these would result differently if they were allowed to set at high pressure for some time instead of just being pressured for a few seconds. Just like cutting a recently baked cake will result in it crumbling or melting, but it keeps its shape after setting in the fridge.
A typical hydraulic press is not designed to maintain the pressure for extended periods, and you will generally damage your equipment. In general, you need to press a locking mechanism into place that will maintain a fixed position(even though the pressure will not be constant), because otherwise your hydraulic pump will overheat and/or your lines will burst from the strain.
I'd love to see a sandwich of alternating paper and aluminum foil. You already showed what happens if you fold paper more than 7 times, and in an early video you also showed that aluminum foil could be folded again and again just like kneading bread dough... but what happens if you mix them?
You missed a great chance to try how the Rock-Paper(c) burns!
Also if you could try two different sets of paper, the other you leave under pressure for longer time, like an hour. This would allow it to compress even more and reduce the chance for the fibers to just deform and spring back when you release it. Would be fun to see if there is any difference between them.
You need to crumple up the post it notes. Crushing them when all the papers are aligned like that gives them a slip surface, which is why it didn't take much to crush it after you pulled it out
Glue and glass would sound pretty good to do some science on!
As others have commented, it would be interesting to see how it would be to set on fire, and how it burns if it actually burns. But interesting stuff! :)
Floral foam perhaps? Or sponges? Both are very porous so there'd be a higher proportion of glue, though, so they'd probably take longer to dry.
I would try sawdust and wood glue. ALSO: should test and see if the pressed paper pucks would make a good fuel source in wood stoves!
That’s how they make particle board and Ikea furniture.
Post-it notes having the little "hat" after squeezing was surprisingly cute 😂 Cool video again Mr HPC! 🔥
Paper is coated with a powered rock to absorb ink, and that's likely why the A4 paper comes out like rock.
It would be interesting to try newspaper (non-slick) or paper towels
Better yet... shop cloths
Newspaper has a coating of clay
I love how this channel gets straight to the point when the title says "I'm going to do this, and let's take a look at other variations after that"
Instead of other channels saying "I'm going to do this, but I won't show it to you right away because I want money and I won't tell you when I did what I said I would do so that you could just skip to it"
A glue called casein can be made from milk. This would be ideal to retry the cereal rocks and use milk glue to strengthen them.
Oatmeal pucks
Maybe you should press cereals into cereal bars. The press other things into "breakfast bars" like popcorn, oatmeal, crispy bacon, etc. Love the channel!
didn't he do that not so long ago?
I believe they explored this concept earlier. However: Pressing coffee grounds into coffee cakes to make an entire 12 litres of coffee at once would be cool.
@@LordWaldema oh maybe so
Lol the video before this is literally that
@@DASCSWEM lol just realized. He read my slow mind.
I wonder what would happen if you spun one of those paper rocks on a lathe and tried to carve a shape into it.
Saw dust, and wood chips, you could make your own MDF and particle board. Also maybe your rock dust with a different type of glue?
I think, judging by that reaction (or lack thereof) to the explosion, we can definitely tell by now he has done this a lot. Lauri must be an expert of paper explosions by now! And yet it never gets old.
First, I would love to see the stickynotes placed in horizontally rather than vertically to make an exploding puck. Also, you should make a glue puck out of matches and then catch it on fire and see if it performs like a composite log haha!
I love your ideas for content! I would like to suggest heating the pressure cylinder to around 300°f, well below the flash point of paper so to help the glue to set more quickly. I also wonder if holding the pressure, for some time, would make much difference. We're glad to know you're feeling better. Thanks for the entertainment!
Very cool seeing how the paper reacts when treated in different ways. Pretty good!
Curious to see what would happen if you poured water on the toilet paper puck after it's compressed. Would it expand rapidly?
I was also wondering if you can add soft-ish metal powder/shavings to e.g. sand/gravel/wood to bind it with pressure...
I hope you are feeling better. You could have skipped this week. We all would've understood! But, just like you always are, a hard worker, you still got it done. Great job.
A thought I had: It would have been neat to see what happens if you put the rocks of paper into water. 😀
They turn into towels I think.
@@danielstephenson7558 😂😂😂 lol
I would like to see about 10 different colors of paper used. Cut some in circles and layer them. For example, 20 circles of red then on top of that 20 circles of yellow, then 20 circles of blue until you stack all 10 colors in the cylinder. Then compress them. Also for another test shred the colors and keep them separate. Load the different colors on top of each other and then compress. Lastly shred ALL the colors together and load the cylinder until it's full...compress. That could bring you some unusual patterns. Good video.
I agree, it's better to have to much sheeet paper than not enough sheeet paper.
I had to laugh when the first paper exploded at the 3:40 mark and you made the spitting sound with your lips.
„Shrapnel is much worse“😅
Small rocks flying is much worse than some paper :D
Could try pressing some layers of carbon felt and wire wool together? See if the result is hard enough to make a tool knife or something out of, if it doesn't just fall apart!
Things to turn into hockey pucks with glue:
- Cotton face pads / balls / Q-tips
- Bone dust / bone meal
- Bentonite clay powder
- Diatomaceous earth powder
- Fine/powder like saw or wood dust
You should try loosely mix the ingredients with the glue before you put it into the press.
The first paper explosion seemed to be more violent than previous paper and card explosions that I have seen on these videos. Interesting.
Try pressing up some hay and or fiberglass. 🤠👍
What if you shred the paper up, get it wet and then press it?
I love this freaking channel , it's awesome
That post it paper turned into play-doh. We need more cute monsters.
Idk. I mean it is fall. So maybe try turning some leaves into rock with the press. That or some pumpkin. Something auttumn themed would probably make for a good festive video.
That right there is a great idea for recycling used paper, compact paper into such kind of sheets with a biodegradable binder and then you have a hard material that can be used for a number of applications...
Love your great videos, thanks.
Thanks for the video! If you haven't done so yet, do a search on "pressure sensitive adhesives" as there might be some that would be interesting for crushing? ;-)
having a hydraulic press in your shed is such fun :)
i think i would constantly ask people for stuff i can put under the press haha
Try with some epoxy glue. No need to wait days to let it dry. Be sure to cover all internal surfaces with some grease so that the epoxy don't weld with the tools.
When making Masonite you "explode" wood using a high pressure chamber and super heated steam. This effectively heats the lignin in the wood which makes it soft and pliable and then separates the fibers without breaking them. The pulp is then pressed into the shape intended and as it cools the lignin harden and you end up with Masonite. So there is actually no added binding material in it and it's much denser than regular wood. It would be interesting to see if you could achieve something similar using wood and the hydraulic press. Would it be enough to just rely on the heat build up that the pressure causes or would it help to preheat the the cylinder? Actually separating the fibers using superheated steam is probably not easy to achieve without pretty expensive equipment, but "cooking" the wood might be worth a try. It would also be interesting to see what the density of a pressed wood "puck" would be compared to Masonite...
I am glad i do not have to clean up the mess. good videos
You mentioned carbon in the video.
Mix the glue with food-grade (wood source) charcoal. It's the most carbony wood product around. Then smash and dry. Is it harder than paper rock?
I wonder if you can use that to combine fiberglass (either in wool form or in mat form) with polymer. If you do that, however, clearances will have to be very very tight. Like seals without o-ring tight. See if it compresses into a homogeneous material. Especially if you can get so much pressure it causes 200-ish degrees of heat
Sehr Interessant! TOP!
We really need a Slo-Mo Guys collab video.
Many possible ideas for glue rock mixtures: Corn starch, sand, glass, steel wool, oats (rolled or steel cut), bread, charcoal powder, noodles, rice, chips, fries, instant mashed potato powder, shop towels, cut up tea shirts, socks, cotton balls, crushed leaves, grass clippings, kitchen sponges, tea bags, plastic shopping bags, cardboard, aluminium foil, hair, cut up pants, garden twine, yarn.
Cut fabric squares, add resin, press it and let it dry. This is called micarta and it's incredibly strong. You could make a skateboard out of old t-shirts.
Micarta! Any fiber, any glue, any cure under compression . Micarta scales nevere fail within Forged in Fire.
I'm really impressed with what happens with the paper, I was wondering if it could be compressed into a bullet and fired 🤔 excellent video
Oh my gatkimchi so many ideas! Sand. Dirt. Sawdust. Cotton. Cloth. Crushed glass. Grass. Leaves. Pine needles. Hair. Salt? There. Go nuts 💜
you should make a tool with smaller diameter hole and revisit trying to compress rocks. the smaller surface area will allow for much higher preasures
Steel and brass shavings. Cotton and silk and nylon fabric would make for a fantastic video.
I'm not sure what the bolt is for on your machine. But it blows my mind that the bolt can withstand the pressures exerted.
And you have a great channel!
Apparently you're talking about the bolt holding a tool so it won't fall off while there's no pressure to hold it upwards.
@@k4be. Thanks. Hadn't thought of it that way.
Glue and wood wool. Like aspen wool.
Also try fiberglass insulation or rock wool. And maby even vermiculite
Awesome we can built homes with this!
This guy sounds eternally happy! 😂
could you add some handles to the sides of that heavy mold?
Love your work
I love it every time😄!
Shred the paper, then add some erikeeper thinned with water (like 10-20%), let the paper mass soak the glue mixture and then press it. If you add the glue to the paper it doesnt have time to absorb the glue properly. Also you should try to mix aluminium oxide (you can get this from Motonet, its for sandblasting) with regular epoxy (mix well) and then press it into bulletproof disks. You may need to add some fiberglass to the mix to keep it together. Around 35mm disc can be enough to stop some rifle rounds.
Try some dry rice or beans with a little glue. Also maybe some elbow macaroni!
You should just use a lot less glue, I think. Also for other ideas how about adding a small amount of epoxy? that gets -really- hard and would make a great rock :)
dry leaves, plastic shavings, metal shavings, leather strips, old jeans, socks, textiles, brick pieces, cardboard, treebark, neoprene, vacuumcleaners bag and/or it's insides, potato peels, plants just straght from the ground; like grass, rubber pieces; car tires or something, matches, old work gloves you have laying around, näkkileipää, neulasia and teddybear stuffing. Try any of those with some glue!
When in pre / basic school, you put glue on your hands and rub your hands till it would form a big ball of dried glue. You can make and crush that one!
could make some crazy composite-materials from floor scrapings , bread, socks, pretty much anything that will fit in the tube (with a few drops of glue)
You could make a paper,glue,water mixture with the toilet paper with a texture of porrigde and press that together as itself left to dry already forms a quiet interesting papmache thats also quiet solid so pressing that together could realy bond the fibers together .
Also a burn test would be interesting.
Like does it burn self sustained?
How easy is it to light up? (Compared to for example paper,wood and coal)
If it burns for how long?
Crushed glass mixed with quick cure epoxy. Mix together and then leave under pressure for the 30 minutes or so that epoxy manufacturer recommends. If you use crushed clear glass would it then look clear after compressing with clear epoxy?
To the Hydraulic press Channel. Could you make a small pile of the pressed paper discs and do a burn test on them?
Now that was freaking cool
I'm pretty desensitized to things exploding on this channel, but that first paper puck made me flinch.
This guy actually made paper to rock that amazing
Non heat activated wood glue tends to need to be kept under pressure for 1 hour to be 70% dried, 24 hours for 100% dried.
If I understand correctly, the wood in paper has been stripped of lignin, the stuff that holds it together normally. Maybe try with wood chips/shavings/sawdust, to see if the lignin makes a difference
This is satisfying but scary at the same time
If you compact limestone on a driveway or road, it gets as hard as concrete, just add a little moisture to make it really set up.
Actually I was wondering, after making rocks out of the paper, how fast would they soften when added to water?
When you were talking about the toilet paper, I thought you said shit paper🤣, then I realized you said sheet paper🤣. Love this channel so much!
Love the videos. But with ear phones on and that explosion bout made me piss myself 😆
Use water or water with some starch instead of glue. It will help to avoid pressure build up if you remove rubber o-ring seal from the piston.
"Better to have too much than too little" are wise words for glue, and especially toilet paper.
Thanks for sharing
Did someone suggest you add flour and water during the loading of the paper? or make a flour and water paste first then add that while loading the paper?
What about using hot glue, wax, or some kind of similar material that solidifies when it gets cold (but melts at a fairly low temperature)?
Heat the tool up, add the glue and filler material, then press fast before it cools too much.
I'm pretty sure that some future Nobel winner in material science is watching this right now.
paper explosions
still the nicest stuff ever!
Fluffed out hemp or sisal rope, horse hair, pieces of rotan skewers are all fibrous materials that glue well together with wood glue and could form a real strong composite.
Try making the mould in the shape of gears with the glue and see how well they hold up
Seen something like this before but for a different application. In the UK they processed waste paper from multiple sources where they shed the paper, soak the paper for 72 hours then pressed the paper to some value in PVC pipe. Am quite sure the PSI was far less than whatever you are using. Then they would cut it in 1-2 cm lengths and it was used to replace the use of coal in plants to generate electricity. The focus was to come up with a way to reduce what was going into the land fills and to be used as a cheaper replacement for coal. Don't know where the project ended up. With the global warming panicers it was likely killed.
You should try cloth if you haven’t already.
Also it would be really cool to try pressing those gold foil sheets into a solid chunk of gold
I have to admit, this is oddly fascinating.
Who would have guessed?
So according to this video all i need to do is crush rock with a hydraulic press to make scissors. Neat!
Very cool! Great Video! Im from 🇺🇲
One thing I always wanted you to turn into a rock are the shavings from your lathe when you make the tools. Do they just weld back together again?
Try pressing mineral wool or glass wool insulation along with some glue. 2-component polyurethane glue if possible. ;)
that paper hockey puck looks like a good fire starter
