A Finnish couple who speak passable English, and a hydraulic press with 130 tons of force. What fun, right?
I first got hooked on this when their "folding paper challenge" video went viral eight years ago (when the paper explodes you hear a heavily accented "VAT DA F***?") and since then they've become YouTube stars.
In the old videos Lauri's wife Anni would make an animal out of play-dough that would be crushed at the tail end, but after they divorced that bit stopped. They don't use the heavy metal bumper music any more either. But he has picked up some cool equipment along the way and branched out into other things. They've done some very fun stuff involving explosives like blowing up an old Tesla:
Or doing crazy things with Finnish oddities like ice carousels:
They make lots of ASMR crushing compliations and shorts these days to go along with their full videos.

That paper exploding and breaking in hard pieces was crazy. I want to ride on that snow circle.

Some Sunday mayhem from the Hydraulic Press Channel folks:
1. Crushing propane canisters next to tea light candles. What could possibly go wrong? Excellent 4K slow-mo video.
2. Setting off 7,000 defective firework blocks/cakes/batteries at once (only way to safely destroy them). Lots of drone footage.

Saved for later. I may have to watch them during my social studies class tomorrow.

No no, it's... research! Yeah! For um... ah... Chemistry class! Yeah, that's the ticket!

You may ask yourself, "What do I need to go with my new hydraulic press?"
The answer is simple: a concrete bunker with a reinforced steel roof and door and bulletproof windows!
And remember - the couple that welds together, bonds together.
