You might like to check out these other posts and my comprehensive list of clever upcycling ideas and resources. A can crusher is a device designed to compress aluminum or steel cans, whether they are empty, full, half-full, line rejects, or off-date products. The first step to being taken in recycling your cans after sorting is to shred the now sorted cans into smaller pieces.

Hence, the water molecules get cool rapidly causing imbalance in the outside and inside pressures around the can. And pick the hot can using tongs and carefully flip it upside down over the glass bowl containing chilled water. Boyle’s law states that the volume of certain amount of gas is inversely proportional to pressure of a gas. If your stove burner cannot support the soda can, use a hot plate, or use tongs with heat-resistant handles to hold the soda can over the stove.

However, if not painted or varnished on the inside and left out in the rain, they might rust on the outside. Air pressure is the pressure or force created by the surrounding air on the surfaces within the atmosphere as gravity pulls. The reason for this is that it is easier for equipment to sort intact aluminium cans due to the larger surface area of the material for the eddy current separator to detect.

In simple words, gas laws were designed around 16th-17 th century to learn the amazing properties of matters of gas regarding amount, volume, pressure, and temperature.Jacques Charles formulated Charles Law that states that when pressure remains constant, the volume of stable amount of gas is directly proportional to temperature. Amedeo Avogadro established the Avogadro’s Law which states that volume of a gas is directly proportional to amount of gas at constant temperature and pressure. So in summary, a can will get crushed when the pressure outside is greater than the pressure inside of the can. Cans are often cleaned again at the recycling facility, and any leftover debris burns off when cans are melted down for recycling.

Hypothesis: If water in a can heated to reach its boiling point and then dipped by inverting in a cold bowl of water, this would create vacuum and result in decreased vapor pressure resulting in crushing of the can (implosion).With cans, the chances of unwanted and harmful microorganisms getting into food are greatly reduced. Jacques Charlesformulated Charles Law that states that when pressure remains constant, the volume of stable amount of gas is directly proportional to temperature. Or you can add the same amount of water directly from the pipe if you are not demonstrating the experiment to other people.
