yeah, little does he know, he's paying more for power then he's making on aluminium.. being 30 cans is only like 80 cents and power around there is 10 cents a kilowatt. funny though the one's that are levered work fine with just your arm..

@@harleyme3163 So you know he dont ownes a photovoltaic system??

" he's paying more for power" ... show us some maths. That motor looks like 1/2 HP (approx 375W) or 3/4 HP (550W) at most. It's got a gearbox to provide the torque, so a small motor will do. Facts 1) In Australia (where i live), electricity is around 30c per kWh. 2) This machine crushed 7 cans in 18 sec, lets say 20 sec, which means 21 cans a minute, or 1,260 cans an hour. 3) Also in Australia returned cans can earn 10c a can. So in one hour, the machine can potential earned $126 AUD (assuming cans are ready to be crushed), and for a 3/4 HP motor, electricity is only cost 15c (AUD). Even for a 1.5kW motor (it isn't by the size), it's only $1 AUD. I have no idea how you worked out that electricity cost are more than recycling cans So please do show us your maths..

How bout instead of a motor.. install a mechanism with bicycle pedals. Like that you exercise and crush the cans at the same time

Not necessary, if you could collect cans from an entire community and put in the effort you could probably get a hundred bucks each week. It's more a "make money from trash instead of throwing it away". A church near me has a can collection program that makes about 600 bucks each week.

@@j.c.cannon2112 But you don't need to crush them to do that, and this device doesn't collect or return the cans.

@@j.c.cannon2112 ah, over here we already recycle it with 6 different trashcans. Nothing to make money on.

Civilized countries like Norway has a system where you get around .20$ per can you deliver to recycle stations located at every supermarket.

True DIY: Go mine the ore, smelt and form it into the bars needed. Then pedal a bike or some shit to build the electricity into batteries (that you, of course constructed... DIY, remember?) to run your power tools and welder. Then put it all together. So simple! DIY, anyone can do it! Not knocking the poster, it's ingenious and a good demonstration of machining, engineering, and welding... but don't call it "DIY" like anyone can do it. Everyone with a foot can stomp a can. Next time, call it "Cool Home-made Can Crusher" or some shit lol.

However, only 38 hours to crush the 64,004 cans

If it cost $400 to build, and the machine can make $1.5 per kilo of cans crushed. It will need to crush 266.67 kilo/266670grams to create $400. 1 can weighs 14.9 gram, so approx 17897 cans are needed to break even not including fuel cost of cans and so forth. At 2.14 seconds to crush a can, it needs 38299.58 seconds to crush the 17897 cans. So it would need 10.638 hours.

If use are going that far into detail, add the amount of power draw and cost of power used also in your calculations?!? Please and thanks

Not really. Everything but the angle grinder, and welding machine you can get for free from scrap heaps/recycling centers. The angle grinder and welder would also become tools you can do pretty much anything with too. Turns a one-off project into a nice hobby. Hell, with practice, maybe even your own business. Businesses aren't made by college grads. Businesses are made by regular people with the tools to make their ideas a reality. Those non-college grads then pay college grads to do the tax filing for a small percentage of the loot 🤣 The meek own the world already. If only more people saw this, and tried to do the same for themselves, we'd have less couch potatoes demanding others give up their earnings so they can continue the couch potato life uninterrupted 🤗

out of sheer curiosity what are you making with recycled aluminum cans?

@@Drillz007 I cast mostly parts for my drum making business and to upgrade my shop tools

@Jason St-Coeur LMAO faceplant. The recycling station in Germany needs to be able to scan the barcode. Difficult if you already crushed them. After the barcode has been scanned the cans are crushed...

Joel Olsson they go off of the aluminum market value, and input the weight of the cans, so the conversion and boom. Payout!

To be more precise: When bringing the cans back you get some of your money back you payed extra when buying the can. Like a pledge.

@@AstralApophis actually the cans have a set value that is not comparable to the market value of aluminium. You get 0.25 € per can. The aluminium market value is 0.39€ / kg. A can is roughly 15-16 gramms. But other then that you don't make Money from it since you buy the cans for 0.25€ more. It's to produce less waste and stuff. I know that you americans aren't the best at that. The only people that make money from it here are homeless people that look for cans and bottles from people who are too lazy to return them.

@@galliance Funfact. Our (Coke)cans arent made from aluminium but from iron or some iron alloy as you can see on the recycling sign which says "FE". Yet there are other cans like from Rockstar which are made from aluminium. Weird to talk in english to another german tho.

untill one decides to put her arm in the machine

2 million views and rising. This "hack" will only make money for "DIY Useless Ideas"

The value is about £0.01 per can. Maybe 1.5p if you removed the ring pulls to sell separately

I collect cans to melt and cast. This would be really handy for people like me that actually use the crushed cans instead of selling them on to a recycler. The motor alone makes this silly if purely for domestic can recycling.

DIY means do it yourself, not that you don't need skill to do it. he built it himself as such it is DIY.

@@j.c.cannon2112 putting "DIY" in the title of the video implies that anyone watching can do it. I agree with Josiah, this is not DIY. Sure he did do it himself but aren't all things done by someone?

Also, not very cost effective. Good for a UKposts video but not practical

about 100 dollars worth of parts, that's 2000 cans worth.... if your a smelter it makes smelting easier and less labor intensive..... tbh, watching what he did, I'm not a machinist and i can figure how to put something similar together without using a lathe and just using a bench grinder, side grinder and a belt sander. total cost of parts including tools is 300 bucks and the tools are multi-use for other projects.

@@j.c.cannon2112 Really?

Frozen water already did that.

it might be a little to heavy but the way he is crushing them is the strong side of the can. you can stand on a pop can if you can balance well and put all the force straight down. I can do it and i'm 200 lbs.

ukposts.info/have/v-deo/gHpjdW2eaaqLlJc.html no thats not me lol but this silly kid has a video for ya which saves me the time.

It's the best I support👍

qual são as medidas

you literally could just step on them and they are as flat as in the video... I wonder how many tin cans you had to crush to make the motor itself pay of all the work excluded, also that the recycler probably also pays for normal ones an even if not you can crush them by hand/feet

May be overkill but I bet this machinery could run 24x7 as long as you had several people feeding it. Of course, I don't think it would work with bent cans without manual loading. I like it!

@@benediktfrasch2812 Earlier in the video he appeared to smash them thinner but at the end they're not as flat. It appears he needs to adjust the placement of the motor, or have an adjustment device, so it totally smashes them. Of course, this saves your foot and shoes.

@@benediktfrasch2812 I have done this before by hand, most of the cans come from the streets and are disgustingly dirty, the beer cans usually have decomposing liquid with bad odor wich means dangerous bacteria, if you smash those cans with your feet or your hand and your cut your skin youll get a horrible infection for sure, also is very tiring to smash 300 or 500 cans using just your feet so this machine is a wonder for the people that make a living from recycling aluminium.

@@elrickking9293 I don't think you would have to build something like this from steel plates and weld it... mostly wood would do the job also if you have a welder and all this stuff you don't have to make a living from aluminium cans

How do you think I started my retirement fund. Free money making free money.

Yep, made thousands from recycling aluminum when it was around 50 cents a pound.

Unfortunately it really doesn't pay to recycle aluminum cans anymore. Cost per pound is laughably low if you account for inflation, and so much now days is in plastic bottles there's less and less cans out there.

That's a nice payday. It now averages $0.01 per can

stefan Lopez When I was scrapping aluminum it was 50-60 cents a pound depending on the grade of aluminum. I was told that the Chinese (go figure) flooded the market and that’s why the price crashed. True? I do not know, but I know I could no longer flip aluminum for a profit after the price drop.

@@sooverit3258 back then they are using real aluminium, now they change to composite of tin, China have bigger tin mine than US, so the price is very low compared with Tin made in USA, so many big industry in USA start to import from China and slowly replacing aluminium with tin so yeah the bottle now is 100x cheaper than what it used to be because different alloy. not China fault for big companies in US bought it for in the first place. the real aluminium itself still in high price both US and China have same respectable value.

@@ItsArghinTime And gloves during drilling.... please don't do that anymore! Thanks for the video though!

As my teacher used to say: - "I know the safety precautions on a lathe like my two fingers."

Put it to work crushing cans that people bring to you. Or set up can collection points that people drop cans at. It'd be a good side hussle if someone has time. Or for someone with a disability.

@@fartzinacan Cans are very low-grade aluminium. There isn't anywhere here that will give you anything for them period.

True.... If you bring 49,000 cans to a recycle center, they give you $1.18

They give 5cent per cans in most grocery stores here(the 5 cent is charged when the canned beverage is bought and they given back to whomever brings the can back)

@@yoanngirard8780 That's because you are paying the 5 cents when you buy the can. It's an incentive by the government to prevent people from just throwing them out.

Exactly, because crushed cans still have the same scrap weight as one that isnt crushed

Back in the early 90s they had can recycler centers on corner streets, it was about 20 cents a pound, I was about 10 years old at the time and I found out that if you fill half the can with dirt or sand and crush it, it would take about two to three cans to make a pound instead of the 34 cans. I would clean that machine out once a week with a bag full of cans. Not the honest thing to do but growing up poor around that time when my parents lost their jobs due to shutting down I needed a way to find money so my parents and little sister could eat. I felt bad but had to do what I must do survive.

@@yogidemis8513 it wasnt the wrong thing to do.

@@yogidemis8513 I collected cans as a kid, in the 80's & 90's. We used to crush them, until the recycling centres stopped accepting crushed cans because of people like yourself. We couldn't collect as many once we had to keep them uncrushed. :(

In some towns like mine mostly where people drink alot you can crush your cans and give them to someplace and it doesn't make as much money as in the thumbnail

Yeah, I get to see the same video suggestions about 20 times, for videos I have already watched.

To make the $800 he shows at the end of the video, you'd need to recycle about 35,800 soda cans

Michael McGee well, you need to drink a lot of soda then!

Just 1 hundred years! If you can recycle 20 lbs of cans an hour for 5 hours a day for only 1 hundred years, you too can off set the probably $30,000.00 worth of equipment and parts to make your very own. Very practical. Love it.

@@georgecavanaugh8615 Ignoring the lathe, a welder, grinder + disks, bench vise and drill press can be had very cheaply and even the cheapest ones are more than capable of letting you build this machine. And in this case, the lathe can simply be traded out for time sanding the ram to shape, or simply using round stock that more closely fits inside the other. People like to wallow about the cost of tools to do projects found on youtube, but this one is not one of those projects.

You can buy a manual can crusher for less than $10 and get strong arms while doing it, which might help to offset the stupid amounts of calories you take in from drinking soda. It probably won’t help you afford the repair to your teeth, nor will it compensate for a lifestyle that involves more sitting than walking, but it’s better than an automated crusher that you can use from the sofa while you dig the remote out from between your fat rolls.

Well, if you figure 2 bucks per every thousand views, he's made about $4,000 with this video. I'm guessing the money he gets for the actual cans is less than he's paying for the electricity to run that machine, though.
