We could do much better. This press appears to be no more than 1 ton of pressure. We have 20 tons on our CEB press, which can be fed with aluminum cans instead of soil, to make even more compact aluminum bricks. These can then be a realistic feedstock for induction furnace meltdown, but may require seeding with a pool of molten aluminum to start the melt. With sufficient pressure, it may be possible to melt the cans directly with induction. | |||

The application of GVCS tools are far-reaching. For example, the CEB press can be used as a generalized press for making bales of aluminum cans, and possibly steel cans for recycling in an induction furnace. This would make a great applied science project for students, especially with Power Cubes driven by a cordless drill.
