    I worked for a surgical center and when I saw those tanks I wondered where did they come from?😊we used to have thieves steal our nitrous oxide tanks from our cage outside on the weekends . I think they filled up balloons and sold them at concerts at Stone Mountain,Ga. We finally got smart and fenced in the top of the cage and ran a bunch of razor wire around it. No more problems after that 😊

      A company once worked for had only had one cylinder on hire but had another 3 or 4 cylinders he had acquired, he would just swap them when they were empty and only have to pay for refilling eventually the gas company got wise and started marking the cylinders so they knew if you returned one that wasn't on hire.

  • @DarkVoidIII
    @DarkVoidIII Рік тому +3

    Regarding that crusher you purchased, you basically feed a carbody in on one side and crush it down flat with the hydraulic pistons, and shove it forward a bit more. Some people have even had videos on their channels of one rigged up with a feed piston to move the car forward the proper amount automatically. It might be good for most modern cars, although I'm not sure what kind of shenanigans you'd wind up with any of the old time super wide carbodies. It might depend on acquiring some extra steel beams and plates to make it more reliably feed carbodies through. It'll be good to see what you do with it though. It's a really good novelty item. 😃👍👍

    2:13 That machine pulverizes large rocks into smaller rocks or gravel depending on the sizing needed. It vibrates up and down a lot and as the rocks bounce against it they crack and break up into smaller rocks. Can be good but it needs to be monitored for oversize rocks that don't fit into it properly and needs a machine or operator to press down on the rock so it starts cracking and breaking. Rotary or roller based rock crushers and pulverizers often are much better and more cost effective. It really depends on the volume of rock that needs to be crushed up.

  • @DarkVoidIII
    @DarkVoidIII Рік тому +1

    Regarding the Al Jon materials baler, it can bale a carbody if it's not too large although that's only if it's stripped of anything that's not metal and sized to fit properly into it. If you ever decide to get into a serious car baler, Silas, don't go past a Predator car baler, if you ever get enough money to buy one. They may be expensive but you can throw two carbodies in and crush them into one bale with a 2 minute closing time.
    They make nice compact bales and would really increase the amount of scrap metal you can cube into one baled up block of metal. They can also do appliances and assorted light steel up to a certain grade, although as you stated, most crushers start tearing up on heavy steel.
    The biggest steel body I've seen baled up in a car baler was a cane harvester with the augers still on the front of it. I have seen baled up skid steer loaders, it must be a job and a half preparing those to get all the fluids out of them before baling them.

    • @DarkVoidIII
      @DarkVoidIII Рік тому

      Note that most car balers will work better on carbodies that are stripped of anything that's not metal. It's really up to you, if you want one there are options out there. For most of today's modern cars, they're a waste as the industry is tending towards electric vehicles and plastic or other composite body shells. They make an awful mess to clean out of a car baler or car crusher. The auto industry is changing all the time though, hopefully they'll get back to something that is relatively solid steel or at least crushes or bales properly when it reaches it's end of life cycle.

    • @AdventuresMadeFromScratch
      @AdventuresMadeFromScratch  Рік тому

      For us a baler would be almost useless. Out of the ~500 cars I just crushed out of my property, probably 150-200 of them were heavy duty farm trucks that would definitely tear stuff up. With a crusher, they just press together nicely. Even tractors can go in a crusher as long as a car is there first to contain the cast iron.
