    Hi Connor, great channel and videos, your work is truly one of a kind! I stumbled across your videos and channels as I was investigating sheetmetal fabrication techniques for a particular application (multi layer insulation). Basically, I need to hermetically enclose a short stack of thin metal sheets inside of a sealed sheet metal vessel, much like the weld sealed enclosures from your demonstrations. I have a few questions if you dont mind me: - have you used a thickness less or greater than 1mm? - what technique/type of welding is applied? - which alloy have you experienced the best (or easiest) welding success? - instead of pressurize with air or water, have you tried applying vacuum in any of your experiments (i.e. the sphere or football)? If so, to what negative pressure?

    • @ConnorHolland
      @ConnorHolland 2 месяца назад

      Thank you for watching! I have inflated 0.15mm-2mm thick mild/stainless steel so far. TIG welding is the best option for control and ensuring no porosity. Mild steel or Stainless is the best to weld, Stainless is cleaner and mild steel is cheaper and easier to cut/grind. I haven't tried applying vacuum to any pieces yet, I'm not sure if hydroforming would create spheres that are stronger than spun or pressed ones, so data collected from those could be comparable
