Default I saw an incredible steam forging hammer in Chicago

Even California has bigger forging presses. Most are hydraulically
operated these days. Control is far far better and can be tuned to
whatever you are forging.

Thats 60,000 Tons..per square inch btw


The highest pressure presses can fit in your hand:

640 GPa = 93,000,000 PSI


You appear to be mistaken. Because that's only 46,500 tons psi, more
than 20% less than Gunner's example. He says he does engineering every
day

so he must be up on these things. Perhaps he could suggest somewhere
for you to get some remedial training. Best to avoid the embarrassment
of claiming some dinky thing has the highest pressure when we have it
on good authority that much higher pressures are achieved on a
warehouse-sized device.


I "must be up on these things"?


Well, yeah. Normally one expects people who "do engineering" to be up
on basic concepts and terms such as psi. Do you disagree? Are there
some special circumstances that prevent you from explaining your own
statements?

"Thats 60,000 Tons..per square inch btw" I note that you did not say
that was the highest pressure in the world. Please set Jim straight on
where we can find the absolute highest pressure presses.
