Can Crusher - Take 2

Sure, I crushed a can using stepper motors, but turning on and positioning the CNC every time I need to crush one isn't very convenient - I drink a lot of diet Pepsi.

What are your ideas for an electric can crusher?

Maybe run an air compressor and have a solenoid valve to release the air pressure into a ram, reverse for lifting (a 'nipple' on each side of the plunger in the cylinder of the ram).
