flyingbrick Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 That's a two stroke zorst by the way. there's heaps on YouTube. If you want to scare yourself look up explosive hydroforming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 How do you release the pressure once it's full? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacker.cam Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 You could have an exhaust teed into the feed line. Just a ball valve of something would be sweet I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testament Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 its pretty cool but you need to understand whats going on and the possible risks etc. Â in that case he is starting with two flat sheets so its not too bad but any air in the vessel being formed is potentially dangerous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 If you watched the other videos then he has a tap and bleeds all the air out. It is pretty harmless, you are only putting a few litres of water in there so it really isn't a big deal. Â Â Also it would probably spring a leak before it exploded anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8Pete Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Also, waterblasters are amazing. I bet if Lloyd had anything to do with hydrotesting your steam factory he would've used a Kerrick waterblaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trolololol. hey cam I tried very hard to find the guard beforehand but it could not be found at the time. I grinded my arm and not my face. I was very concious of critical items being out of the line of fire. I also didnt expect my arm/wrist to bend so much to allow the grinder to go around that far. and still I turned the power off on the grinder in 0.0004 seconds. but yeah I knew I should have used the hacksaw to cut the last bit before I did it. so I am an idiot.

flyingbrick Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 You want to see cringe worthy fabrication watch this. No glasses or other safety gear and he puts his hands so close to the sharp rotating material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
