Air Powered Can Crusher

I was playing around in the shop yesterday and put this little contraption together. Needs some finishing touches to it but it works quite well as is.

Now all you need is an auto-loader, a chute to catch the ones as the get crushed, 2 separate lines for the air so you can sit there next to the machine pushing 1 hand or the other to remotely crush/release.. That way you can relax and watch tv.

now you have my mind working. Back to tinkering.

I got a nice big ol 4" air ride cylinder, bet that would crush a can into aluminum foil.
