    All great ideas! I would like to pitch in that my original design intent was a wall-mounted "home appliance" type machine.

     

    Certainly there are many ways to do it, but small size, and safety, are important.

     

    Some sort of "pre-dent" mech, that bends the sides of the can in slightly, would significantly weaken the can making the main crushing move much easier.
