Bolts wedged between the coils on just one side will cause a spring to bow when compressed (remember those aluminum spring stiffening inserts from back in the day). A bar sticking out that only grabs one side of the coil might help, as it will flex open a bit.

Protip for next time: If you crush the spring completely so the spires overlap be very careful when touching it later, some of them could be stuck together and could be still carrying a lot of energy

Hello HPC. Nice work with springs. Lethal power in those. Ok, for 30 years I have used 30cm tall X 20cm dia hard-wood stumps, bark removed, the same 2. Finally my son asked me to wrap 2 stainless hose clamps around each, close to the ends. Applied them as tight as the small 6mm bolt head would allow. We put one end of small cars on them, nice to sit on, endless uses. Now we are wondering just how strong those are? You did a similar test before, using fresh soft wood and no hose clamps. Is it possible to press stumps like these? Love the new bunker. Something has to crack the cement someday. Kipis

Man it's crazy that it took so much while trying to be unsafe! Honestly after watching the first half of the video might give someone the wrong impression, but I think airbuddy in these comments have witnessed a potential accident themselves or from others. I've had three springs leave the tool myself, one from those shitty bolt clamps and two from different dealership spring tools.. all three of them surpassed my super Saiyan Matrix speed reaction, leaving the area completely before I could even blink and being super lucky after two previous that the last one of them resulted in a minor knee cap injury where I was bracing the special tool. Still absolutely terrifying after 3/4 thousand McPherson struts... But awesome quick money. Name of the game😅🎉

@@dstillmanYes, I would consider having a small hole through the bunker that you could pass a rope through to pull on a stuck test object in cases like this. If that spring was stuck with stored energy, pulling it off the table and letting it hit the floor *should* be enough of a shock to release it, or at least safer than just walking in there.

You should install a Safety Lockout to prevent anybody from activating/using the press when they are inside the room. It would be a fantastic way to keep everybody safe from an accidental use when somebody is inside.

That actually makes it more effective and useful, now that I think of it! Good job!

For a more scientific idea, since you can graph the force over distance of the press, you could try compressing the spring all the way (maybe even overcompressed) while logging force and distance and then let it sit fully compressed overnight. Then release it and compress it again and compare the graphs to see if the spring lost any "springiness".

I thought that spring would do a lot more than that but still interesting to see. Its fun watching you crush things. I dont know if I want to know what i want to see crushed next.

Look, you put in a lot of work into that bunker. You can slap on a few extra zeroes. "Hydraulic Press Bunker Ten Billion" has a nice ring to it!

Love you two problem-solving together.

Used to work in a place that made air brake actuators, and the springs in those are similar in thickness to the big car spring. Just a bit shorter coil overall. It only took a big air cylinder to compress those. Inside the press the polycarbonate is plenty to handle the ricochet, the problem is when something holding it back fails with air pressure. We had a few holes in the ceiling insulation (not the metal) where a brake failed on the air tester table, due human error while assembly. So they can be dangerous, but you have to mess up pretty bad to get hurt. One guy was taking apart a caterpillar bulldozer style brake actuator, missed taking out one of the cap screws before he started raising the press. It of course kinked sideways like yours did, and ricoched out of the press. He took a side swipe to his chest and face, went home for the day and was back the next. Just a bruise and a bruised ego. That press didn't have a front guard door like the others for some reason. Probably something to do with the style of brakes made on that line. Lots of Volvo and caterpillar style with cap screws, instead of cage bolt and clamp band like most double diaphragm trailer brakes.

That smoke is a good demonstration of the principle that pressure makes heat. And then even sparks, very nice :)

The high speed sounds like cows mooing! Love it!

LMAO, car springs...the safest most dangerous thing you can smash. I was at the edge of my seat watching this even though I was pretty sure what happened was going to happen. I knew if I was wrong it would be epic. At least Mr. Watermelon Head got his just desserts lol. I was wondering what would happen if you smashed it all the way and it wasn't what I expected. You guys are awesome!! Looking forward to more videos!!! 😅

her nervous laughter after the spring is compressed is hilarious. its like that using those cheap rental spring compressors working on your suspension.

Definitely the funniest HPC video to date!

An appropriate subject for the start of Spring

maybe you can create a springlauncher 5.000.000? create a tool with a planned weak point that fails at a given pressure and releases the spring? maybe hold the spring with bolts with different diameters and check when they fail?

The sounds were the most intense part! That and the anticipation when it wouldn't go, like popping a balloon … but deadly.

I have used a hydraulic press for decades checking both suspension spring rates and valve springs. Only compress them an inch on coil over springs and to installed height. I have scared the hell out of myself on road cars removing front coil springs,, on double wishbone cars. Had the jack slip out on a spring between the wish bones with a big twang. Luckily I was hanging on to the jack handle and stepped back quickly. Spring on the top wishbones are even more scarey, salvaging components and cut a spring in the middle with an oxy torch. Spring even then had a great deal of energy. The other side I heated every coil red hot and sagged it a lot. Far safer though NOT if you wish to reuse the spring. I have a coil spring compressor that works on Mac struts but not in that situation.
