I have designed an Automatic Aluminum Can Crusher (patent pending) for residential use and I'm currently building the prototype. Once I get the bugs worked out, I will need funding for production tooling. I don't know of anyone one who sells one of these for household recycling use. There are several industrial and commercial units available, but they are all too expensive and not practical for having around the house. The unit will be powered by a common, power tool battery and/or an AC adapter, and the production version will adjust to fit almost any trash or recycling container. It's a fun and practical device for reducing the amount of wasted space in your recycle container, and I think there is enough interest to buy these that it should supply a steady cash flow for my new business so that I can design more unique and creative products. Thank you for your interest, and you can learn more about my startup at http://www.zertronix.com/
