: I friend tried to explain how yor press works. He said it was simply the laws of physics:
:
: Energy = Force x Distance
:
: So tons for a 0.3" press is 9.4 tons for 0.032" material and 30 tons for .010" material.
:
: Then he says if your press was weighing 100 lbs it could outperform a 10 ton mechanical press when the material is less than .02" thick.
:
: This sounds to me like a poodle outperforming a pit bull.
:
: Could you go back to the physics: What part is the "force", what part is the "energy". The distance I think I understand. (It's just the distance the tool travels, right?)
:
: Help me with the rest. I haven't got a clue and I'm going for a job interview next week.

It's a lot easier that the path that you have taken

Step 1 is knowing how to calculate how much energy (Force x Distance) is required.

Step 2 is looking up to see if the press can deliver the energy required

Regarding the physics, Energy=.5 x mass x velocity squared. This does not seem to be helpfull in determining if the press can do the job.
