    We have built these before at my work in our spare time using old pnumatic air cylinders. 50lbs of air pressure is sufficent to crush even a large beer can. Get a cheapo compressor at lowes or use a cheap air compression pump and an old fire extinguisher for a tank. if you wanna get real fancy use a plc/prox switches/relays to send the signal when your can crusher is empty/loaded
