How do these things work? I cant fathom how its able to do that, it looks like it barely moves? What sorcery is this?
Also is it named after Futurama's The Crushinstor?

Well the cylinder has a stroke length of ~8 inches (it's a little less) it is 17 inches from the pivot point, the other arm is 6 inches from the pivot.
When the cylinder is fully extended, the crushing plate will move down about 3 inches which is greater than the width of most cans. (At least greater than all of the cans I have.)
It flattened cans sideways because I wanted to be able to put them through a shredder. It was very close to accomplishing that, if the base plate didn't bend to shit, I'm sure it would have worked.
Yes! But the crushinator is a big girl, mine couldn't hold a candle to that, so she squishes instead of crushes!
Don't stick your dick in that!
Wasn't planning on it before, but challenge accepted!
That meme is... chef's kiss
We need to see it in action!
I should have recorded while I was testing it, once I replaced the base plate, I will absolutely record it!
how flat are we talking here? what's your squishest can?
Like a mini Hyudraulic Press Channel - let's see what kind of stuff this bad boy can squish!
I would've called it Dr Crusher.
Post pics of the output
Okay. Now build yourself a cold press adapter for this and enjoy juices, oils and other delicious treats. =]
Cool. What are you casting?
