Posted project update #6New Design
Post CommentWell, after reading all the comments (mostly negative) from Gizmodo and the like, I am knee-deep in a re-design. The new model will be a little faster, simpler, and crush cans to less than 10% of original volume.
Details will be posted when available.

Here's a bit longer version of a can getting crushed. Over 40 cans so far on one battery and no signs of slowing down yet....awesome!
Enjoy,

Posted project update #3Prototype Functional Test
Post CommentAfter a week of minor modifications, the first can crushing this morning was a success. Here's a video of the functional test.
Next week I should have it packaged in a 32 gallon lid with a hopper to feed cans.
Enjoy,
