My hydroforming machine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 тра 2018
- I've had this working a little over a year now, and its been working really well. It is a self contained system, needing only electricity and air. It's fairly low-tech, with a 5 gallon bucket as a reservoir, the cheapest power washer from wal-mart, and plumbing from tractor supply co. The switch failed after the first use on the power washer, and after pulling it apart to fix it, I just left it out of the housing. A garage door spring helps with lifting the 1 1/2" thick upper plate, and air pressure is used to speed up getting the water back in the reservoir. I tried to speed up all the most boring parts to keep the video short while still showing what's going on.

So UA-cam's algorithm has decided I'm into hydroforming these days...
me too
saaame
But that isn't all bad... We just learned how we can do it ourselves. :-)
Y'all and me both. Interesting stuff.
you are not the only one
I finally learned how flying saucers are made
Seems you must be married then, LOL.
even sounds like one at the end.
If he doesn't keep an eye on the pressure, you might also learn how they fly. ;-D
I like how he numbered all the bolts so he tightens them in the correct sequence every time.
Years back we welded a 3m Dia disc 5mm thick to a steel table and blew a dome, had an air bleed off in the center so only water under pressure. when dome was about 500 high welds started making wierd eerie sound, then a crack opened, the jet of water from the crack spurted across a gap of 3m and blew the wall out of the portacom office and knocked it off it's foundations.
It turned out perfect, what ever it is.
Looks like a hang drum
Salad bowl ?

3:45 it's communicating with the mothership
helmets for iflated Brit heads?
Beautifully formed, it's remarkable just how much elasticity there is in steel!
This video was made even more enjoyable by it not having a music soundtrack. Subscribed!
Well, it doesn't jump back to its original form, so there's no elasticity here. You mean plasticity?

This is even more impressive seeing as hes a professional drum maker.
Ductility, yeah. The metal itself is very ductile if not hardened.
I have shaped metal hollow forms by hammers and stakes, by presses and english wheels. This is such a clean and simple process. Your results are amazing! It seems i have been inspired to add to my skillset and workshop!
In school, I built an explosive forming chamber about a third of that diameter. I used a shotgun shell (pellets removed) to push aluminum sheet (soft alloy 1100) into a steel die, with water as an incompressible buffer. Because of the fast forming time, I didn't need a very good seal so I could just smear some grease on the edge of the clamp and let a bit of water squirt out. It worked really well, but I could only use so many ashtrays... One thought: you could use your pump system to make tubular objects from 2 sheets of flat stock welded together around the edge, like perhaps a 2-stroke engine's expansion chamber.
Thank you everyone for the comments, it has been fun reading them. Here is a video of what I build with the part I made in this video, it is called a handpan.

Nice work, would it be possible to hydroform something into a form with a certain shape? say, a car hood or something like that? if one would make like a form from concrete, make a print in the concrete in the desired shape and then hydroform it against this form? like a stamp but with no moving parts???
You think this would work?
Watched that whole VIdeo... never saw it levitate or phase shift into the 4th dimension ... does it actually work? ..or is it only good for playing music on?
Wok's one of those then ?
It's like a steel drum except convex instead of concave.
@@theservant2646
Maybe try it ?
Then make a video to show everyone.
English medieval helmet turned out!
Английский средневековый каска получилась !
Nice sounding compressor. Good build!
Never heared about hydroforming. Great post!!
what the what? I have to research the hydroforming principles! Looks really well done and a beautiful part! Thanks for posting!
Great job. Thanks for the show Panie Smith:)
so clutch. This is my favorite hydroforming channel.
Wow that's very cool! Well Done!!
That is fascinating! Great work.
Most. Expensive. Wok. Ever.
That works amazingly well.
That is so cool, well done!
CONGRATULATIONS IT IS EXCELENT, greetins from ARGENTINA
We have been doing this for a long time too, only we do not drill the workpiece. We have a groove on one of the rings and a bead on the other. Tightening the bolts creates a lock. We press with oil.
I have been considering doing that as well. It also removes the need for an o-ring for sealing.
nice way to make shields for them reenactment groups
Wow... I'd love to have one of these Woks!
Awesome ..... wow ..1962 salt flats car hubcaps!
pretty cool wok making machine man
I knew this process but it's always amazing watch again and again!
that was amazing , was sure what to expect by hydroforming
Very cool. Well done friend.
There's UA-cam channels where you can watch paint dry in real time. . . but this is sooo much more interesting.
That is cool! Nice work!
NICE ONE....I studied the process in Material Forming Processes.
me: click one single video about hydroforming
Also YT: "I shall give thee Hydroforming Videos on yee Recommendation"
That was impressive as all hell!
You haven't seen the craftsmen of INDIA do the same thing MANUALLY with blanks and BARS.
That's a pretty sweet hubcap
very nice job!
It's lovely, looks space techie
very impressive, that is awesome.
Great result
Way more talent than i harbor, but damn son thats a ton of bolts.
Great commentary, wonderful story telling.
The third act was a bit lacking...
Acho que ele se inspirou no Leandro Torneiro kkk. Parabéns.
Whatever just happened, Im impressed.
Basically, you know how if you fill a balloon with water, it goes from being floppy to always wanting to be round? This is the same concept here, just with metal instead of rubber. The metal needs to be able to hold the water back, but it can't stretch out too far, since the internal tension inside the metal wants to keep the surface from stretching. As such, the steel stretches as little as it can, approaching a round shape over time as more and more water is added- a sphere is the object with the most volume for its surface area.
I probably could have explained this better.
twss
Holy pan drum Batman that’s cool!
You mean hang?
Great job!!!
Beautiful!
From ‘Star Wars’, your equipment sounds like the evaporators from Dantooine!
So this is what a wok factory looks like.
I thought a wok was something you throw at a wabbit.
It's awesome! But please change the placement of the white extension cord to somewhere else, water is a good conductor if something fails to seal properly :)
round metal thing ASMR?
hell yeah
*Oh how I wish my friend Mike Canaday was still with us to see your video. He was a really good guitarist, a pretty good drummer, and passable on the piano and bass too. We both marveled at the sound of Hand Pan drums and Mike took a couple stabs at making his own but wasn't successful. I know he would be totally studying your set up and wanting to start buying the parts and pieces and then I would remind him he's gonna need a machinist too. Thanks for sharing this.*
Hello, I really like your design improvements over Colin’s original design. Are you using 1” steel for the large steel rings or is it 1 1/2”? I was thinking about trying 1” or even 3/4”
myself, but didn’t want to waste money if it didn’t work out.
Explosive hydroforming would do that job in the blink of an eye. And it'd be a lot more fun!
They do it. How do I know? UA-cam decided I should see that next.....

Dude, that's awesome.
Very cool!!!
This is crazy :o gonna build one
Damn I could make so many Captain America shields with that.
Hello. maybe someone has told you before or maybe you have tried. I do not know. I think if you
heat the piece and use hot water, it will get an easier and beautiful
shape.still looks very good. I like it, good luck
this guy is making ufo for tiny aliens.
Un buen comal para los pambazos y gorditas 😁😋😂☝🏻
I am very impressed with the build quality, the heavy duty aspect of everything to keep it from coming apart and the 'simplistic' nature of the assembly. So, what are you using the domed metal for, and what alloy of steel did you use, if that was important to stretching the dome. (And I like the 'no frills' and 'no extra talking' parts of this video!
I concur. Though I would love to see more hydroforming.
top left on top of kiln maybe a clue to what he uses it for?
@@hydrotech6822 ua-cam.com/video/JX8qvn5QTsY/v-deo.html
@@hydrotech6822 Very observant, nice one.
@Ethan Smith Doesn’t look quite like an effective one, looks like it’d roll.
Nice Wok.
very cool
Its good you have a safety tarp up to protect the people in the next room (county?) from an explosion ;)
With water, there won't be any explosion, just a water leak. Water does not compress, so there isn't really any danger of a violent decompression. With air or steam on the other hand.......
Arnljot Seem good point! I was mostly just trying to make a lame joke. But I would not want to stand in front of that 20000 psi water leak.
@@rivernet62 I have promblem thinking a 150psi walmart pressure washer could reach 20000 psi...
Now I know how they turn vibranium into Iron Man shield hydro forming🤔
It’s Captain America’s shield. Though it was made by Tony Starks dad for Captain America
@@Onyxthefem Yep Tony’s father made the shield but I was thinking about it Hydro forming would be a way to do it
That's excellent
Nice thingy 😳👍
WWI England soldier's helmet. awesome.
Amazing
Congratulations you now have a wok and when that one wears out in 30 years you can make another one.
Excellent, put zinc spray on your bolt threads, it’s a dry lubricant barrier and stops thread galling.
A polycarbonate cover over that would be a good safety measure, your don’t always know the quality of the steel your dealing with particularly lately with so much old recycled steel going into steel production the carbon level is up and becoming a problem.
I’m guessing you may be using panel steel...
If you have a rupture your going to get intense discharge due to elasticity and potential to loose an eye.
Operating the stop and release remotely via a drive tube with lever attached would be a safe option.
Awesome result and good uniformity, your would beat a metal spinner on quality..
Lovely process. Just a thought, if you put an electric solenoid valve in the hydraulic line and a contact on the top of the gauge it would turn itself off at exactly the right time. Neat eh?
AWESOME!
That's an amazing way to make a wok. :-)
that would be an amazing way to make a hemisphere
Very nice video! What is your high pressure water source and maximum pressure output? Keep your videos coming! Thanks.
The world's most expensive wok.
that is amazing
nice popcorn bowl
Hello there, awesome job, the part seems neat!! Would you be willing to share some more details about the setup? Like your plumbing? What kind of sheet metal are you using?
I will tell you
Any strong pump is working trust me with enough flooding and the metal should be cold roll steel tempered as well to allow forming 😁
I found the world of Hand Pan Makers to be pretty secretive but it doesn't hurt to ask. One thing I learned was the top and the bottom are made from two dissimilar metals and how you join the two is a big part of the sound.
Yea use some 2mm pipes with a moving valve of the staeter with a ball flux guide with a modern that goes up to 50cx and you would prob be fine.
@@mrayco Do you think it would work with annealed aluminum sheet (provided that I can weld it)?
@@runcycleskixc yea it would work easier than iron sheet metal
Perfeito 👍👍🇧🇷
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but the specific geometry of that particular type of form is parabolic no? It strikes me that this would be an ideal way to form perfect solar concentrators. Just put a pipe at the focal point and bam.
who knows, it might even be hyperbolic cosine shaped like a hanging wire is
That is an ideal application for this process, the purpose for the dome he just produced is a frying pan
I was wondering, could you put the flats and divots into an upper form hand pan all in one go? I know you would have to make one upper for each sound combination you wanted to make and you still would need to tune it but would this take an appreciable amount of work out or just too much?
They might not stretch in the right places but then again they might stretch in even better places that way. With a hand made drum I think they would need as much tuning afterwards as making them from scratch but not sure. Certainly for production work it would make sense to have a counter die.
I don't know much about metalworking, and even less about hydroforming, but I'm curious: how long do you have to keep that pressurized? Does the steel spring back much?
You don't have to keep it pressurized once its hit the correct form...
It stays held, the pressure kinda warps the atoms in the steel leaving it like that.
it's amazing
that'll do.that'll do just fine.
:D
So I know this was back. few years.
What are you making with this project?
Thanks for sharing this.
With all due respect, it’s a great setup. You may find that throttling your pressure with a quarter-turn ball valve will eventually wear out the ball. It might be worth your while to replace with a gate valve. Just my two cents.
No I think if he replaced it with a parallel moving valve of the staeter to make it virtually frictionless and have a motor that is in parallel with the gurtle flux to make a semi condative unitanier complex would be better.
Awesome
At 0:50 I heard AvE say *Click!*
Nah... It's CoinTacked!
Corntack!
Did you make this yourself?
When I worked in a small show I made one for someone but never got to see it in action!
Thanks for the video! :D
Very well made piece of kit that does a very good job.
Nice thoughtful editing too.
Please could you show some more of the process of producing a playable pan. The tuning etc. What are the bits in the centre of each face ?
Are you talking about the piece of plywood over it? If so that tells him the size he want this to be
OP posted a link in a comment.
T H E B A L L S H A R D E N
Do you evacuate the air from the area under the pan first before you pump water in?
whats the woring pressure and max metall thickness u can form? how do you obtain the pressure?
Best one of these that I've seen! Can you describe how the wooden piece triggers the control outlet of the power strip? Also, I noticed in the comments you've considered a groove and ridge system instead of the o-ring and bolts - did you end up trying that?
It is Just closing circut
@@adamo.7014 Any thoughts on the groove & ridge? I figure if I'm going to build one of these things, I might as well try to make it as easy as possible to use.
