Any ideas on making a heavy duty van crusher..... i have about 2 days to make it and i have acces to the college workshop
can or van? if u need a can crusher, you shud use the force of gravity to help you to use less energy, i suggest dropping a heavy weight on it, that way you can use less energy, be able to pick up the heavy weight and drop it multiple times to ensure the can is crushed.. If its a van, do the same thing on a much larger scale.
using the other answer. How about a frame of 2x4's to serve as a guide. Then a rope and a block and tackle, tied to a large block of metal say like a piece of rail road track. Hoist the track chunk, and drop it on the can. use some kind of lever as a release.
