How do i make a homemade can crusher?

Hey everyone i need a homemade can crusher. Nothing special just enough to get me a good grade on the project. I just need to know how to make it and what materials i need. If you could help me out that would be great :] thanks guys.

Answer:

I would mash up a banana, add lemon juice (the acid will soften dead skin cells) and uncooked oatmeal (which will exfoliate dead skin cells). Massage it onto the skin and allow it to set for about 5 minutes, then rinse.
Two small trailer tires, mounted so tread meets tread, (on fixed axles) so they just touch. One tire connected to a drive motor (electric) direct or pulley with V-belt (safer). 4 diameter PVC tube (feeder) directed at the contact area of the tires. Cans go into feeder tube, get crushed by the tires, then eject opposite from the feed tube.
A dirt tamp with a square 6 X 6 foot works great and goes real fast when you line the cans up in a row about 8/10 inches apart? Just don't use it barefoot?
Saw a guy with a wooden fence post and a woofel ball bat sitting next to it. He said this is my can crusher. He kept a large rock in the yard that he used to keep track of the longest distance he was able to hit the can. Made for a fun drinking game too lol.
You already have one, use your feet
