Are you using the harbor freight electric pressure washer? It sounds just like mine l

@@madmax222 It's a Cotech, the cheapest one I could find

What if you sealed the water inside and then heated it

@@christilton350 The steam would reach a higher pressure for more inflation, but with a very high risk of exploding. My methods are much safer

Amazing, I never thought you could do it with a pressure washer, even less with compressed air... I'll be sure sure to try that for the exhaust of my two-stroke vintage Suzuki. Thanks you very much sir. Oh, by the you have a new subscriber ;)

Ouch

HAHAHA! "Pillow FIIIIIGHT!" * BONGGGGGG!*

Its how they make holiday mall ornimentation

I was about to say the same thing. I was hoping it would turn out the way it did..

How the welds held out is so impressive

Isn’t that a baseball?

@@thebeardyyc yeah I saw a baseball. Must of been the 'Merican in me

0:53 “Efficient”

I've seen this done with a small explosives charge in creating large tanks like the ball for storage. I'd never thought of using water but its density means a lot less air pressure would be needed to get similar results on a small scale I would imagine. Very cool.

Apparently this is how corvette frames are made.

2 stroke expansion chambers on motorcycles

no

lmao

Mm yes. We have Hours, Minutes, and *secongs*

In a Minute, There are 60 "secongs"

LOL....

really, cause i see alot of busted welds from water pressure, a good weld wouldn't bust like that. So are they actually good welds, NO there not.

That's what I thought the whole time

I do beleive they use hydroforming to make those metalic spheres for storing liquids inside of for transport. Mostly since with the right welds you can make an almost perfectly round sphere with just a quick blast of water.

Some guy make gaz tank for motorcycle. It work

is a way to test welding skills at welding school.

Mostly its used to make 2 stroke motorcycle exhaust pipes havent u noticed they have a seam down the middle

Some Bbq Burner has Made like that

O my but what is it leaked little

no not really. any tig welder can weld like this

@@lordjaashin The machine, yes. The person, I wouldn't say so

Seen this comment a few times

@@lordjaashin I'm not a welder but I do work with metals, way too many people consider themselves tig welders, except in reality they can't weld, they do great work at poking holes and burn stuff.

@@Eden_M i don't see the point of your comment. nobody here is talking about fraud welders not being able to weld properly. any decent TIG welder can make the joints seen in this hydroforming video and such talent isn't really rare.

same tought

Very interesting. It does look like one when you think about it

was just thinking that this would be a good way to make an exhaust.

I beg to differ, expansion chambers for 2 stroke engines need to have good base material, have their joints fully welded with proper penetration and should not leak. It can be seen that almost all of the parts being "Hydroformed" must be pressurized to a point where it leaks, and having an exhaust with pores that leaks gas is not an exhaust.

@@JarrenW83 duck tape duh

well, unlike a balloon, these don't explode, since they're using water and not air (I think they did use air for some but they were more careful)

@@a.lollipopThe risk is more of jets of pressurised water slicing you open if there is a pinhole leak, especially if you are in contact with the hole when it happens.

@@leejerrett8268 true lol

c

LOL

uoh? uoh.

Yeah got some squirt action.

It farted

What the hell did I just watch?

Nah, this isn't even close to back to the weird place. No discussions of hidden stargates in the hollow earth that you can only enter through Antarctica, guarded by the Reptilians that control the metal grid above the atmosphere that keeps humanity from actually leaving orbit, forcing the governments to fake anything outside of a low orbit, or the Reptilians on TV replacing news anchors that accidentally give themselves away by blinking the wrong set of eyelids, and the reverse-speak coded messages being sent to us through the grid in the cosmic background radiation by extraterrestrial allies intent on revealing the truth to us so that we can rise up and overthrow our enslavers, etc. UKposts's weird place was great back in the day 😂

@@giin97 make youtube great again; i agree. Also i only read a couple lines but im all in. You understand the matrix. We need to overtake this dark matter blah blah goverment blah blah the. Blah blah . Just trying to avoid the algorithm, i like what youre putting down, wanna g pinto business together and take over the world? Im dowm, pm me

Yes totally agree, getting sick of all the "cute"animal videos

I liked this comment so maybe my FBI Agent who watches me will take a hint

I guess it would be best to use "Airforming" for this application to avoid having any residual water that could mix with fuel & potentially corode the inside.

@@LeoH3L1 pressure is a function of Force and Area, so you need the same with gas or liquid. The Gas will just be more Volume under outside pressure.

@@mraffifpv1685 Yeah you're right.

@@TwinShards A methanol wash would get it all out. Do a distilled water rinse first though.

Every single one of them ruptured in the end...

You have to wear reinforced shoes to kick that thing

@@pinospin9588 yeah, but imagine if some random person tried to kick it, thinking that it's a normal ball that they can kick

At least not as bad as kick bowling ball

Dude i did that to a bowling ball once

@@meatpilot5077 xbox achievement, break toes to bowling ball

Well to be fair anyone would find it embarrassing if someone just came along and inflated them

😂😂🤮

I was thinking this is what happens if you trust the wrong fart.

Lmao

Taco bell

Robocop getting an enema

Aslong as the welds hold lol

@@Shifty51991 Maybe you could cut it apart after forming and re-weld?

We are glad it did

Oh so that's what it's all called

Yay I found a fellow Brony in the wild

same here haha

Pretty sure that’s how we all ended up here

That's how I ended up here

Thanks for mentioning that. I don't know how I got here but your comment got me to search up those videos. That's pretty badass :)

Yes I believe inflating metal has limitless applications for both practical and artistic projects!

I was just looking through the comments to see if anyone mentioned the Colin Furze pulse jet.

I haven't yet as I don't have a forge/torch, but adding heat should allow more flexibility. The geometry of the part is the most important factor

@@ConnorHolland I'll second the annealing suggestion. That, minimizing the angle change at a weld joint (before vs after) and inflating slowly to allow deformation stresses to slowly equilibrate. If you had space to make a DIY brick pizza oven, that could be just about perfect for what you're trying to do...

Thank you!

Sandy Cheeks would be proud of you.

Thank you, I cut out each one individually from a roll of neoprene rubber foam

@@ConnorHolland SpX SS TPS

It's anything you make it to be

The concertina is assembled in sections, with the internal welds done first. I use a similar method to produce my inflated vase: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/pYFijpempp6esIk.html

Thank you, random citizen!

Yeah like crazy gas tanks for custom choppers n such.

Thank you! Oskar Zieta has created a great range of furniture designs and large sculptures from inflated metal. I will also continue to create more furniture designs and keep promoting and developing the process.

This has been a manufacturing techniques for a long time. I used to make tuned exhausts for two stroke racing motorcycles this way in the 1960s

Thanks!

Thank you, I experiment with shapes to inspire new product & furniture designs. For example the angle piece at 2:34 became a table leg design: www.connorholland.com/aeroformed-table.html

Hydroforming is a well established manufacturing process as well - used to form complex tubular shapes in particular, such as parts of car frames. Looks a little different than this of course.

@@tswan62 Yes, but this is on a level where hobbyists can do it. That's the neat part.

Don't use pressured air in any other way than showed! 💥

Та тоже не разобрался

Полностью согласен

Раньше человек делал что-то важное, стоящее, полезное, для того, чтобы развиваться, усовершенствоваться и при этом ещё может, повысить свою самооценку. Сегодня, всякая хрень, снимается на камеру(благо она есть у каждого в кармане), с одной единственной целью - собирать лайки. Эпоха однопалых(по Задорнову) человекоподобных существ наступила. Мир стремительно регрессирует и откатывается на много веков назад, в то время, когда человек почти не отличался от других животных...

так можно кустарно делать глушители на машину

Раньше делали тоже самое только без камер. Так появлялись и появляются величайшие изобретения.

Steel boat hulls for smaller boats can be made the same way.

The width of the pattern is half the circumference (Radius x Pi) of the finished part you want. Curves get tighter as a piece inflates, so add 5-10 degrees to angles when drawing the pattern. TIG welding is the best process to use, as MIG is messy and more likely to create lots of pinholes.

@@jimmymcjimmyvich9052 ?? Can you explain that to me like I'm a baby

Any kind of one-off fuel cell will be an absolute pain to make conventionally. It's also used on an industrial scale, in conjunction with dies, to make some automotive frame components. The water pressure forms the metal into the complex die geometries with little trouble.

thats a baseball

If he would put more heat and flow more evenly across the work piece the HAZ would be even more parallel and he wouldn't have virtually any leaks at all. Another helpful tip before doing any forming retemp to about 150 or so and it will help the seams transfer better and cause less stress so even better chance they won't fracture. Metallurgy is amazing

@@DemonetizedVet Thanks, but what is HAZ

@@JereYaps I'm not being rude or anything with today's society I just wanted that out there haha, So the HAZ is the Heat effected zone. If you mig or tig this is very easy to control due to the very small changes welders can make on the fly after a test run. Plus every "run or lot" or produced metel will react and behave different due to this factor so if extra scrap is around run it on there and check the HAZ and see how it spreads outward from the joints welded

@@DemonetizedVet 👍🏼

Very nice tips

Have a look at my other videos for some examples

You're right. I'm going to be inflating more 3D pieces, starting with making spheres
