    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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 🤗

  • Absolutely wonderful contraption. With the prices of scrap aluminum going through the roof and being able to compact them into realistic loads I must say that this is a wonderful thing. Imagine sitting around watching youtube videos while you crush cans and then getting 30 bits for the pound for them. Aluminum cans are abundant and littering the streets. For a couple of hours you can pick up cans and at the end of the month get back a few hundred dollars. Brilliant.

    • " 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..

Was just a horizontal piston, with a guide rod and plate at the end to crush the cans. Old dude used it to make a few bucks off of discarded cans in the parking garage of the building. It was cool, but would probably crush your hand.

  • To those thinking 'refundable deposits' are the best idea... Lets presume a 10 cent deposit. They also add those ten cents to the price of the can in the first place.So a 2.10 can of redbull would cost 2.20 to buy, and you get .10 back for the empty. The store then weighs the empties in and pockets the 0.01. So you end up paying 2.10, and the store makes 0.01 from recycling, per redbull can they sell.~ Where there is no deposit, you pay 2.10 for the can of redbull, and *you* own the empty, so *you* can recycle it and earn the 0.01 - meaning the can effectively only costs you 2.09 if you recycle it, and still the same as a refundable (2.10) if you dont, with the added advantage you dont lose another 0.10 if you cant take the empty home with you.

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.
