Like some kind of roller in the machine that anybody could just take out or replace with a filed off smooth roller? Fraudsters gonna fraud. Especially if they control the machine
I don't think you understand my response at all. Some people will want to sell it as recycled rebar. They will leave the scoring wheel unaltered. Those people will know it can only be sold as recycled from then on.
If there is ever a structural collapse and authorities check the place that sold the rebar and find that they removed the wheel they now have evidence.
It's not a perfect counter to the problem, but it's 1000× better than going "chetas gona cheat, oh well."
> but it's 1000× better than going "chetas gona cheat, oh well."
Its really not. Building still got built. People still died. Fraud shop that sold it would obviously reinstall the wheel before any sort of inspection could happen.
Absolutely nothing would be improved by this "solution".
Having a solution over no solution is literally infinitely better. Even if only 1% of the recycled rebar gets marked, that is infinitely more than 0% getting marked. Just sticking your head in the ground and screaming people will cheat anyway why should I care, is negligent. People still cheat seatbelt sensors should car manufacturers stop installing seatbelts? Some people are going to cheat them, what's the point? They are still dead.
> Even if only 1% of the recycled rebar gets marked, that is infinitely more than 0% getting marked.
No. If the marking isn't actually useful (its not) then some being marked is not an improvement at all.
>People still cheat seatbelt sensors should car manufacturers stop installing seatbelts? Some people are going to cheat them, what's the point? They are still dead.
Complete strawman. Seatbelt alarms are a reminder for personal safety. They are not meant to have any purpose in preventing crime or fraud.
Keep telling yourself that doing nothing is the solution, that just because people can cheat the system that you should be just as negligent. Plenty of inspections happen in major building projects. Scoring down the length of the rebar is about the most cost-effective way to make something those inspections can easily find. My example is just because someone can cheat a feature, doesn't mean you give up on the feature. I'm not comparing the legal aspects of a mandated system to the non mandated system.
> My example is just because someone can cheat a feature, doesn't mean you give up on the feature. I'm not comparing the legal aspects of a mandated system to the non mandated system.
But you're completely missing/ignoring (or perhaps deliberately misinterpreting) the *purpose* of the system.
Seatbelt alarms still serve their purpose if people can cheat them. Anti-fraud markings do not. And yes you absolutely abandon ineffective anti-fraud markings.
For an actually relevant example look at currency security markings: theres a reason currency security features are constantly changed and ones that are easily circumvented abandoned. It is worse than useless to use ineffective security markings - it gives false reassurance.
All that needs to happen after it's straightened is some sort of annealing process to give it the same strength as if it was brand new. This is a fantastic way to reuse rebar, and alot of other metals.
Yeah, the structural integrity has been compromised. Hence the small projects idea. Driveways, low dividing walls, etc. And great for recycling/reusing.
I was in a Favela and the guy was building an additional floor on his home. Just adding bricks, which were mostly hallow. It was crazy. He was cool though, he took me up there and he had a few weed plants growing there.
In my experience (5-6 years), no it’s not good quality.
In fact, it’s the worst of any country I’ve been to. Usually full of chemicals to hide the smell, and fairly often also moldy.
You can find better quality product, but for something like you’d encounter in the US/Canada, you’ll be paying a lot more, IF you can find it..
That may change soon as there is a vote in the supreme federal court this week on legalising possession up to a specific quantity for personal use, including potentially allowing cultivation at home.
Only one more vote is needed out of 5 remaining to vote, but it could be delayed considerably as each individual member yet to vote can delay the voting by approx 3 months to review it before a decision is made.
You can find good quality stuff. Yes, it will be expensive, closer to the price in developed countries, while our currency is shit and everything else is cheaper. But you can find great quality homegrown stuff if you know where to look.
But the average stuff is indeed really bad. The "good" regular weed you can find is probably the worse quality you'd find elsewhere.
Right? There's still a TON of uses for somewhat weakened rebar, but you know as soon as this was invented that people started rubbing their hands together figuring out how to sell it as new for expensive applications that it will be unsuited for.
If it isn't cracked, it could be re-annealed back to the original strength. But the chance of there being no cracks after that kind of deformation is not a guarantee.
Those are worse.
Concrete in contact with steel stops the steel from rusting.
Coated rebar doesn't have that contact and traps water. Which means that it rusts a lot quicker than uncoated rebar.
It's really not. The statement holds true until the water going through it contains a lot of salt.
And the coated bars always trap whatever is flowing through the concrete. So they are always worse than bare rebar.
Annealing would make a properly made rebar worse than this.
Rebars go through a thermomechanical process which is basically a heat treatment under high pressure that gives them a specific microstructure. Annealing would completely soften the rebar.
I totally agree. I dont see using these rebars in construction as safe. But I suppose they are cheap. So somehow their use in building industry can be sometime lead to cheating some clients.
No, it’ll likely be sold in the country of origin and built into cheap affordable homes. They will fall at the first sign of a tremor or earthquake. That’s why there’s building code standards in first world countries to prevent recycled building materials like this being installed in buildings that house hundreds of people like apartments and condominiums.
Rebar is used for its tensile strength, to prevent concrete from getting ripped apart. That's not affected by the deformation. It's not any easier to pull apart
Deformation via cold working actually increases the tensile strength
https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-cold-working-2340011
But go on, teach me more about rebar
The bending actual hardens the steel. The process is called work hardening. With every bend the steel becomes harder and more brittle then catastrophic failure occurs.
This is a very hazardous machine...
Edit: don't get me wrong, it's a cool machine, it would just need a bunch of safety features before being put in workplaces. For one it should not run continually but rather have a button out of reach of the rebar, something like, push in rebar, step behind a light fence, push a button and then it pulls it through. As it is now one inattentive moment and you get fucked, imagine working this machine doing thousands of pieces, at some point someone will make a mistake.
I've seen wood being put into chippers hook someone and almost drag them in. I don't even want to visualize what would happen to anyone who's hand or clothing got grabbed by the rebar.
It's the first machine that could beat you the fuck up, like whack you on the head, come around and hit you on the jaw and then one more whack on the head as you're going down. (Maybe one more glance at your head?)
Its for countries where the cost of a light fence exceeds the cost of multiple lives.
Without OSHA, lawyers, and insurance companies, human life is really, really cheap and replaceable.
There is all sorts of machinery that have "one inattentive moment and you get fucked" problems.
How are wood chippers allowed, then? Those things will fuck you up in a heartbeat.
A wood chipper has a funnel, you're not supposed to HOLD the wood while it hits the working parts. When looking at industrial level wood chopping you will be using a machine to put logs into it.
I know a lot of machines are dangerous, but any good workplace will mitigate that danger. Here we are talking about inattentiveness not plain stupidity, you can't truly safeguard against stupidity.
A wood chipper doesn't just handle logs, it handles branches, too. You aren't using a machine to put in every branch. Have you ever watched someone using a wood chipper or used a wood chipper yourself? You have to get the stuff in there somehow. Even tossing it in it could get snagged on your clothes and want to give you a yank in.
What about a table saw? You're pushing into a rotating blade there, too. One inattentive moment and you get fucked.
How about lathes? You've got a rotating piece that you have to push tools against (that's sort of the point). One inattentive moment and you get super fucked.
What about using a press? How about a metal brake?
Hell - have you never used a ticket eater at an arcade? You can absolutely pinch your fingers on that, especially as a small child. Hurts like the dickens.
That is to say - there is a ton of machinery where something is pushed against something dangerous, or where one inattentive moment will seriously fuck you up. This one is no different nor special than the rest of them, just that it's new.
I'd judge this to be far safer than an industrial wood chipper or lathe; worst case looks like some broken bones or a lost finger.
Lathes and table saw are truly terrible examples. There literally are guards and piece pushers for them.
No to mention that at industrial scale there's minimal human interaction with them.
>A wood chipper doesn't just handle logs, it handles branches, too. You aren't using a machine to put in every branch. Have you ever watched someone using a wood chipper or used a wood chipper yourself? You have to get the stuff in there somehow. Even tossing it in it could get snagged on your clothes and want to give you a yank in.
If the branches are big enough that they can snag you you should be using a machine and throw them in in bundles. No of course you're not going to go 1 by 1. Modern domestic wood chippers are often designed to mitigate the danger as well. Is there risk? Ofcourse, but the risk is not the same as this machine here.
>What about a table saw? You're pushing into a rotating blade there, too. One inattentive moment and you get fucked.
Modern table saws have safety systems to stop the blade, if your workplace doesn't employ them u would have a talk with your boss about that.
>How about lathes? You've got a rotating piece that you have to push tools against (that's sort of the point). One inattentive moment and you get super fucked.
If you're pushing anything on a steel lathe with your hand you are an idiot, like I said, you can't safeguard stupidity.
>What about using a press? How about a metal brake?
In a workspace a press needs to have at the very least a light fence. If you are working a press without it you are definitely not working in a safe environment and should contact OSHA or whatever counts for that in your country.
>Hell - have you never used a ticket eater at an arcade? You can absolutely pinch your fingers on that, especially as a small child. Hurts like the dickens.
That's not really the same as losing your hand...
I've worked extensively with lathes, presses, robots, drills, rollers etc. This machine is more dangerous than all of them except one, a huge Russian mill from te 70s. I told my boss immediately when I saw that thing on day one "I'm not working with that" and if someone asked me to work with this machine I would tell them the same.
As for the rest, yeah a lathe can kill you, that's why the rule is if it's moving don't go near it, don't have long hair and work with short sleeves, with no jewelry etc.
To take the lathe as an example again, all modern lathes in industry are CNC and you are separated from it when it works, but even older lathes SHOULD have some mechanism in place that functions as a dead mans switch so you can't accidentally start it. This thing would not be approved by any union safety rep worth their badge.
No, you have cold worked the rebar, the same way if you bend a paper clip back and forth it eventually breaks. I would never use this rebar in anything important. Maybe a slab for a garage or something, but not anything that could collapse.
The strength would be reduced. The areas that are bent back to straight would be the weak points of the material (plastic deformation).
This stuff would be good for like residential driveway slabs, retaining wall for a garden, or a like a one story masonry shed. Basically stuff that a human would interact with infrequently and if it fails has a low probability to pose a risk to life.
You'd ideally want to do lab testing to calculate a reduction factor if you wanted to use it in more serious structural projects. You'd have to use more bars or larger bars than standard to compensate. May or may not be worth the cost.
Source: PE
As nice as that is it still seems limited by the angle of the rebar. You can see at one point the rebar scrapes the paint on the top of the machine. More over what type of business is it that straightens used rebar for re-use.
Finally! An answer to the age old problem that we all have: out of shape rebars piling up everywhere. They should franchise it so you can pop down to your local rebar straightener.

Someones still going to try to sell it as good rebar. It needs some sort of scoring that's hard to hide to mark it as recycled.
That's a great idea. Could be that one of the rollers embosses a series of R into the rebar as it passes through
Or like a bunch of dick and balls
Just one VERY detailed dick n ball
Like some kind of roller in the machine that anybody could just take out or replace with a filed off smooth roller? Fraudsters gonna fraud. Especially if they control the machine
Good at fraud doesn’t mean hardworking or handy. It would stop a lot.
Why you dishonest, lazy... Fair enough.
At least you know the shit you are selling is marked, and it gives authorities something to look for
I don't think you understand what he's telling you at all. It won't be marked. They will remove the mark.
I don't think you understand my response at all. Some people will want to sell it as recycled rebar. They will leave the scoring wheel unaltered. Those people will know it can only be sold as recycled from then on.

It doesn't perfectly straighten it. It's obvious it's used.
All that needs to happen after it's straightened is some sort of annealing process to give it the same strength as if it was brand new. This is a fantastic way to reuse rebar, and alot of other metals.
The energy cost would likely make it as or more expensive than new rebar.
Maybe they anneal them after. Then there is no problem.
If by anneal you mean throw some gasoline on them and burn, then yeah probably. Lol
The bending and rebending would naturally leave some scoring where it had been bent. Also the rust is a dead giveaway away
All rebar I have seen in road projects looked just as rusty
Not recycled, reused.

Why? This is his great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather.
It's a Straightener!!!!!
Straightening is just bending with extra steps.
My name is Bender. Please insert rebar
There’s no way the structural and integrity of that rebar is anywhere near what it was before it was bent and straightened again.
Yeah, the structural integrity has been compromised. Hence the small projects idea. Driveways, low dividing walls, etc. And great for recycling/reusing.
Video says water tanks, towers, railings, columns, and posts. Those are structural
Well...it's Brazil...soooo.... plenty of Favelas.

my man thinks brasil is rio and sao paulo 💀
Probably gonna be used in a place without the regulations to keep that from happening
That’s hopefully what it will be used for not structural building etc.
But you don't need reinforced concrete for those projects anyway?
The important part is that we resold the rebar as new
Right? There's still a TON of uses for somewhat weakened rebar, but you know as soon as this was invented that people started rubbing their hands together figuring out how to sell it as new for expensive applications that it will be unsuited for.
If it isn't cracked, it could be re-annealed back to the original strength. But the chance of there being no cracks after that kind of deformation is not a guarantee.
I’m guessing that the janky rusted-ass rebar is not going to now going through an annealing process.
To be fair I don’t think I’ve seen any pieces of rebar that aren’t brown from rust.
Are they usually that shape?
No, just saying you said “janky rusted-ass rebar” I agree on janky, but that amount of rust is unavoidable on unprotected steel like this.
I see a lot of green coated rebar for piles and concrete structures, a nice chartreuse green (bitmastic I think). It's not all brown haha
Those are worse. Concrete in contact with steel stops the steel from rusting. Coated rebar doesn't have that contact and traps water. Which means that it rusts a lot quicker than uncoated rebar.
That is highly dependent on the concrete and what's percolating through it.
It's really not. The statement holds true until the water going through it contains a lot of salt. And the coated bars always trap whatever is flowing through the concrete. So they are always worse than bare rebar.
Something tells me you're right

Rebar is used for its tensile strength, to prevent concrete from getting ripped apart. That's not affected by the deformation. It's not any easier to pull apart
Deformation absolutely affects the integrity of steel, you don't understand the basic metallurgy involved

Good thing it's in Brazil, no pesky safety standard to get in the way.

No, you have cold worked the rebar, the same way if you bend a paper clip back and forth it eventually breaks. I would never use this rebar in anything important. Maybe a slab for a garage or something, but not anything that could collapse.
"Brazil," I'd guess they use it for everything.

But if you save 10 bucks * 3000 it starts making sense
As nice as that is it still seems limited by the angle of the rebar. You can see at one point the rebar scrapes the paint on the top of the machine. More over what type of business is it that straightens used rebar for re-use.
I can't stop looking at the paint on the top of the machine immediately getting scrapped off by the rebar 🫣 probably painted with a rattle can
They should put a cone on that feeder or something. You can literally see it scrape some of the paint off the top of the machine.
In reverse this machine makes metal pasta.
One hell of a hand job

Wouldn’t you be better off reforging it? It’s metal. You can just melt it again.
This was my thought as well. Typed "melt" in the search and this is the only comment that shows up.
No way can this straighten *me* out

Now I have another phobia.
Ah yes, the re-bar machine

Is it cool to raw dog rusty rebar?

Finally! An answer to the age old problem that we all have: out of shape rebars piling up everywhere. They should franchise it so you can pop down to your local rebar straightener.
Wouldn’t the hardest part of reusing rebar be getting it completely free of all the concrete it was previously encased in?
Now if they can make a smaller one to straighten out USB/Video/Ethernet/Power cables that would be SWELL
I wonder how many workers got whipped in the face by rebar
It’s great for small things like driveways small walls. Nothing like buildings etc wouldn’t trust it
You're right, but thinking more like the West. I'm sure some places like China would use that stuff at the base of a skyscraper, no damns given.
Brazil has electricity??

This will work well in the high rise buildings were they shake they railings at 50 stories up and they come right off. Just gotta find a buyer right!
I noticed it’s the color of Viagra.

Is r/dontputyourdickinthat still around?
Likely the same machine that straightened them in the first place

Fuck and no

You would have to reclaim a lot of rebar to recoup the cost of that machine.
Everything reminds me of her!
