A power drill-operated can crusher comprises a frame, a plate, and a screw drive mechanism. The frame comprises a hollow cylindrical structure having an inner radius sized to contain a standard aluminum can and an opening on a bottom end for the insertion of an aluminum can into the interior of the frame. The plate comprises a rigid circular plate with radius equal to the inner radius of the frame. The screw drive mechanism comprises a screw mechanism which produces a linear mechanical action of the plate via rotational motion of the screw mechanism. The plate is connected inside the frame and parallel to the circular faces of the frame via the screw drive mechanism. The top end of the screw drive mechanism comprises a power drill adapter, which allows a user to rotate the mechanism with a standard power drill. To use the apparatus, a user places the plate in a high position within the frame, places an aluminum can in the bottom of the frame, engages the screw mechanism with a power drill in order to drive the plate downwards and flatten the can, and reverses the screw action to replace the plate in a high position, thereby allowing the flattened can to be removed from the frame. |
