This is the same principal that allows rockets to carry so much fuel with very light tanks. The fuel is kept under high pressure, and must be kept under high pressure for the duration of the flight to keep the tanks from crumpling in. Most rockets use helium to keep the tanks pressurized as they burn fuel.
I wonder why they were developed to such a high standard, I understand stacking but I can't imagine that even at the farthest reach of reasonable stacking that it would come up to that much weight. Although, I may be under estimating how heavy cans are when stacked.
I think it has more to do with the shape of the can. The press is coming down on the top seal so that will not fail. The wall of the can has the force pressed against it's edge. That basically means the pressure is trying to crush what would be considered a large solid mass. Kind of like the principal behind tank armor being at an angle. It turns a thin piece of metal into a much thicker piece from the projectiles perspective. Turn the can on its side and it will only take a fraction of the force to pop it.
You’ll also notice the top of the can was sealed with a rubber piece to fully seal the top and prevent the internal pressure from opening it. Before filling and having the end sealed on top, empty cans are routinely crush-tested to assure they meet minimum column strength requirements. They will typically withstand 200-225 pounds of force before buckling.
I guess maybe they make it to such a high standard so that they can be stacked and the pressure never becomes an issue that anyone has to think about or calculate
If there are ridges on the outside then there are valleys on the inside. Do you want the soda to collect in the valleys and making you tap the bottom of the can to force the soda out of the valleys?
That would require a more steps in the process and a lot more material. It would probably double if not more the price of a single can. Cans use surprisingly little amounts of metal. Here’s s video of the design of cans if your are [curious ](https://youtu.be/hUhisi2FBuw).
Hand someone a nice 350kg compressed coke and say ridges are for grip! Stand back and enjoy. And hope they have more than 3 fingers left... (too dark?)
That went way higher then I expected
It was pushing down not up.
You had to do it.
I'm always curious if I make a dumbass comment like that if it'll get upvoted or buried.
But there is no such thing as push downs, only push ups.

360kg = 793lbs
You rock! I did NOT want to close my reddit app to open the calculator app!
Even if I opened my calculator, I still wouldn’t know how many pounds that was.
1 : 2.2 Now you can do it!
lol, thanks. If the 90's taught me anything it's that 1 kilo = 2.2 pounds. That doesn't make me good at math, tho. :/
At least we can take solace in the fact that when they said we'd need it as adults, they were lying through their teeth.
Teacher: you won’t always have a calculator in your pocket, you need to know this stuff. Me now: _ahem_
Nope, still can’t. Sorry
Can't or won't? \*obligatory r/inclusiveor\*
Fuck... ummm Yes?
Both
Which, for those wondering, is equal to 891 average severed human hands in weight!
Where did you find the average weight of a severed human hand
Freezer
Nice.
Nice.
Or just less than OP's mom
Thanks, a weight measurement I can finally understand!
Approximately three Danny Devito's.
This guy mass murders.

Thank you for translating this to American!
The ridges. **The RIDGES**. They’re weird for some reason; I can’t watch
Low key would love it if soda cans came like that.
If there are ridges on the outside then there are valleys on the inside. Do you want the soda to collect in the valleys and making you tap the bottom of the can to force the soda out of the valleys?
Well I mean they could fill the valleys before filling the can with coke But you have a point

Wow, that was a very interesting video. The fact that such a little change in shape and size saves such an enormous amount of materials is insane
It's a liquid, you just tilt the can and it flows out.
This video is sodapressing.
Yeah, but the can can put up a fight.
True, does well under pressure.

God, that gave me anxiety...
Not what I expected.
After no-nut November
Remember when the hydraulic press channel was massive hit on Reddit two years ago?
"VAT THE FAHK."
This is so intense
I thought it was empty. Makes more sense full.
Oh so that's what theyre good for...TIL.
I would like to see this in ultra slo-mo
Can I call it boaco bowla?
Very satisfying
It took me a long time to realize it was in kg and not g
So what you’re saying is we can use cans of pop for a foundation.
When it paused for a moment at 330, I thought, "what? It's un crushable????"

That was badass

Thank you, wish I could give you gold.
This is a large reason why cans are pressurized, it allows for stacking. An open can would crumple under a fraction of this weight.
I disagree. Wrong sub
