    try mixing the first idea (the solenoid powered) and twisting

     

    1- make some thing to catch the can from both sides

    2- then as what you first tried do it the same way, but with ading some very fast motor to spin the can while crushing

    by that you get tow forces acting, the pushing and the spining

    just to check how effecitvive this way is

    try it by your hand, twist a can you'll find it crushing by it self, then stop twisting and crush, it will be so easy, and crush to a smaller size

    also another solution

    aply the presure with a slope

    the orginal idea was

    --|can|---engine

    but to aply like that

    --\can\--engine

    it will be better,

     

    also another idea

    try a vibrator engine with the solenoid

     

    the thing is to apply force which are parallel to the can sides, but to do it with a slope,

    to proof what i said: try easly standing on a can trying to be straight, now try to move yourself front and back or right and left

    at first the can will not crash, after you move it will
