Dumpster Diving "Walkin' A Tight Rope"
Рет қаралды 173,935
Жыл бұрынHowdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

In a nutshell, I ‘m an avid dumpster diver, scrapper, picker, treasure hunter and underwater connoisseur.

The "I don't have a clue" item was a brake chamber for a semi.
@barthanes1 Жыл бұрын
The thing you were questioning was an air break cylinder for an 18wheeler. Don't take it apart. There is a powerful spring inside under a huge amount of force. It can kill you.
@randall39 Жыл бұрын
Yeah. Used to be a heavy duty mechanic. You don’t want to take them apart unless they are caged. High pressure spring.
@stubstoo6331 Жыл бұрын
Yep had to take one apart on a concrete truck on the job once with the truck still running . It was definitely a watch your head moment when it flew apart.
@robertfandel9442 Жыл бұрын
It's not that powerful not nearly as bad as a front spring on a car.

@dougnash7547 Жыл бұрын
It’s a semi truck brake chamber, it’s supposed to be disarmed before being tossed out, spring loaded, supposed to cut spring with a torch before being tossed out , now it’s not safe the way it is , stay away, I’ve cut plenty of chambers,

"I think these poles are maybe for a trampoline or something" - after moving the pool box showing those poles in the picture 😄. We love ya Mike! Man I feel like you could start a pallet business just with what you find in dumpsters. It's a shame so many businesses just throw them away. Btw, T-shirt idea: "Gotta be strong!" with a stick-figure holding up a fridge or something of the sort.

The thing you picked up at 18.30 is a brake servo off of a truck. They have a diaphragm and spring inside. The trucks air pressure over comes the spring pressure and pushes on the rod to apply the brakes when you stomp on the brake pedal. Another awesome video Mike.
@robertfandel9442 Жыл бұрын
I thought servos were electric? I used to maintain semi brakes. We just called them diaphragms.

We used those vents in front of diesel generator radiators. They were positioned for the best airflow based on the temperature of the facility.
@big.ronwisconsin9598 Жыл бұрын
The crazy looking thing in the dumpster you were thinking might be a compresser. It is a brake chamber off a larger truck or semi with air brakes. I've had the pleasure of changing a few whatever you do don't tear it apart there's compressed spring in it if you're not careful they will fly apart and take your head off

That canisters looking thing is for the breaks on a semi truck or semi trailer. It pushes the breaks out to stop them. It's called a break chamber.

That pod you found that you said was some kinda air thing is an air break pod. I think you'll find your scrap yard won't take it cause it's under extreme spring pressure inside they explode violently if the retaining ring around the middle is broken.
