How does Hydraulic Press stop so fast after shaterring something? Why isn’t there any momentum?
In: 5397
The press moves super slowly and isn’t particularly massive, compared to the forces on it, so the momentum present is minimal.
If you have something strong enough, the press setup can bend a little bit, and so the whole thing sort of BANGs when the object breaks as all that tension releases, but that’s about it.
A hydraulic press is just a metal bar being pushed on by liquid coming from a pump. This giant metal bar moves very slowly because the pump only moves a little bit of liquid at a time, but the force available is exceptionally high, which is why it can crush things with ease.
