Every engineer should watch your videos. Although extreme they can see and learn very shuttle tips. Your comment to make fasteners common throughout the devise is smart for so many reasons.

New subscriber here. Just got back in to scrapping out of necessity but I love it. So far from the 2 videos I’ve watched of yours I’ve learned more, as given more inspiration, more ideas, knowledge from tips you have said n from your crazy elaborate set up than any other KZfaq channel about scrapping. Man your fast. It’s a scrappers paradise you have there clean down to the steel tables n custom setups in the vice for quick processing of #1 and #2 copper. If I had my own space like that it would be so much easier n enjoyable for sure!!! Btw I’m interested in watching your adventure of mercury recovery. Keep them coming!!!

Great video, great set up. Huge load of scrap. You're a scrapping machine for sure and thinking about how you can do more. Thanks for sharing, look forward to part two.

You can put those green boards in the shred, Better than in the garbage

SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT! I absolutely hate flathead screws. Absolute pain, especially when they're stuck. 24:32 is ferrite. Those magnets are great. Here's a tip: I put mine inside a little aluminum box. I still run it over floor sweepings, but simply pull up on the magnet and the screws drop instantly.

Love your set up. The little electronic ballast transformer is made with ferrite. I throw it in my scrap steel

Man i could watch for another hour very point on and very interesting

In the mid-80s the owner of a oil production company that I knew gave me 56 huge electric motors that went to pump jacks that didn't work. I made a killing in the copper even considering the acetylene used to cut the windings out and having to rebuild the rear end in my truck that I destroyed hauling them.

Like how your organized great job.

Engineers need to hear you, they control the design. Can assure you those engineers enjoy nice lunches and Christmas gifts for maintaining flat heads. Believe me I know first had.

Learning from your videos. Thanks for sharing👍

Great Video Buddy Loved it

awesome bro, you have a cool shop, great video

Note to self.. find out about hammer mills. They have to be really great! Good video and on to check out another!🔥

Hello from Sweden again. Tinsips for that is good enough. When I get cords like drop cords and from computers and that kind of thing I use a pair of garden sheers. It works better then any sidecutter. Plugs go in a bucket for pulling the brass prongs later. Stay safe and take care.

Excellent operation, I wanted to see those transformers busted down though!

For being a scrapper you have the most organized, unorganized mess of different metals and electronics operation I've ever seen! Nothing goes to waste your constantly thinking up new ways to get every last part separated. I can't even imagine the Freaking Government Regulations you have to watch out for. It's a backwards mining operation 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

35:00 That chunk of copper looks like a heat transfer pipe. They are usually hollow and have a gas / liquid in them. 51:00 As far as LED goes, I find the the ones that are white are just way too bright. They quite literally blind me and make me a hazard on the road. I'm apparently not the only one since my city has been removing the white LEDs they had and replaced them with Amber LED. They are just so much better on the eyes at night. They also had another problem with LED. They don't produce enough heat during winter to melt the snow on top of the fixture. That made them somewhat dangerous. The new fixture have a heating element in them. So yeah, so much for the efficiency of LED.

Interesting video, that was a lot of material:)

I have been watching you for some hours and only just saw your subscriber count why is it so low I would have expected such a awesome channel to have about 100,000 minimum

Nice job and video

Very interesting video

Like youre video's! And those circuit boards are worth money to 😁

I learned that star bit trick in ‘06 myself… lol

them lightbulb filaments may have silver in them and them led bulbs have silver and sometimes gold save them anything led 5 gal bucket in corner thats exactly what you should save the green boards they are full of copper plus you can probably find a buyer who plays with acid to get the rest of the precious stuff you should make a shredder decent size grind all them casts up to fit in barrels plus those vids are bad ass not sure why but i can watch that shit for hours haha alright enough of this book chapter

Where's my f@#$%&* oh there it is. 😂 I do that all the time.

I was interested in the reason for so many different fasteners. The reason that there are still "flathead" screws are because the electricians unions have lobbyists that fight the manufacturers in order to continue the usage of flatheads. Because it adds to the time it takes to work with them and makes it so the electricians make more money(labor time) which increases the unions profit because they get a percentage. Multiply this by thousands upon thousands of workers and it adds up to ALOT of money.

Any HVAC control air you have to have a dryer on the compressor to get the water out of the line before it gets to the thermostats and valves

Caught a glimpse of the forklift tires. Rough. Replacing during rebuild? Solid tires might be good until they fall off. Just wondering.

The small transformers are usually high frequency in electronic ballast, so the cores are ferrite, which in the companies that manufacture them, is recycled it is pressed into the size and heated in an oven to get the magnetic properties if not it is ground up and re cast. It may be worth saving the ferrite and selling it back to an US manufacturer of them if you have one as they would only need washing, but I don't know how much virgin ferrite costs? It is not advisable to.process the electronic PCB's and components, grinding them down as they may contain nasty materials, chemicals and dust. It's best to sell them on to a recycling company specialising in them. Thanks for the video.

That awesome. How do you get connection to buy other people’s scarps.

The steal is called ferrite, it basically sintered steel, (powder that's pressed and baked)

Iron ferrite is what the smaller transformer was made of friend!

At 24:44 that is ferrite, is a ceramic material made by mixing and firing large proportions of iron(III) oxide (FeO, rust) blended with small proportions of one or more additional metallic elements, such as strontium, barium, manganese, nickel, and zinc. The green boards are most likely a low grade circuit board, check with Exotech, nearer you in Pompano Beach,than a Miami buyer, but all that stuff has value Those ballast wires are sometimes copper coated steel!! Use a magnet first.

those MV LAMP BULBS should sell on ebay for $5.00 each easily...if the outer glass was broken they would emit dangerous UV radiation,and of course if some was to accidently chop the end off and release the mercury ,the buisness would be shut down and men in haz mat suits would have to clean up the yard due to mercury release ..of course this would cause a huge problem if the buisness was cluttered

Cool video. I’m too busy scrapping XRP!!😁

24:19 the material is called fettite. Composed of strontium carbonate and iron oxide.

Do you have a video on how you calculate or a formula you use while purchasing scrap wire to ensure profit?

The part you are holding at 24.02 is a mosfet, and they are expensive. They are sought after by diy electrical engineers, and easy to check if they work.

And the boards can go as Shred if your yard doesn't buy them as Low grade Boards.

BSA Enterprises Approves Of This Video!

I love scrapping and would love to work at it full time.. not driving kills all that quick

At 51:44 there is a lizard in yer light fixture!!

E X T R U D E D E X T R U S I O N

that wire your throwing in that bin do you have to go back through it and cut all the ends off

thanks sir grt belgium

Also the leds you smashed at 26,28 are expensive, and sell easy on ebay

what ton press do you use to crack those transformers.

24:44 ferrite powdered steel, gaylord box of those circuit boards do have value if you get a bit of volume.

could you heat the glue up with a heat gun to losein up the giass

24:16 i think its ferrite. its magnetic and super brittle

Project shop! You have an amazing channel. Although for the purpose of holding the interest of your viewers, and monetizing it would probably be a good thing if you would consider editing the length of the video. My personal opinion is with any channel that I've supported now matter how interesting the content after about 35 minutes or so unless you are doing something that's never been seen before after that amount of time it all just gets to be too much. You have a good channel. But!😳

I need to set up a lazy Susan to cut open the compressors to harvest the copper. if you have a copiable set, please show it to me

Iron ferrite is that weird steel you speak of on those small trans.

How do you get all that copper wire do you ask companies or what

just what kinda muise do you like the most

Ever thought of a Gaylord box for that cast and maybe a sledge hahaha!

How do you determine what you pay for your scrap?

The big LEDs I would test and if functional, sell for good money. Just my thought.

In Maryland they have a special class for fixture wire it pays a little less

I wish you would start out slow so we can see then speed it up please😊

Sounds like Mark worman on gyc!

they use compressed iron powder to make the small cores for the transformer. cheaper and faster.

Are you saying excruded or extruded?

Did you need a epa licence?

Those big copper plates in youre drum look also silver plated maybe seperate them and test them if they buy it seperate it might be worth a little more

Those low grade boards fetch $.22/Lb.. much better than trashed or shred ... i mean u already gotta process the board of wire and removed from the cast housing ... why throw them away?

those l e d s are worth 5$ ea on line

get to it....

That air dryer if working is some coin.

The copper tube is a heat riser directing heat to an aluminium heat sink, in aussie we get 2.50 a kg for them as complete units

100.42. Mind the lizzid!

That sticky stuff looks like thermal paste, and gotta be careful with the capacitors on those circuit boards - seriously toxic material in those

Why do you throw your scrap in the garage when it should go in the spread pile

great video. l love scrapping i have a few videos on my youtube if your intersted

Ferrites are your friends....

same goes for those UV strip lights if one breaks it is full of mercury vapour big probelms !!!!

centered iron

Magnesium inside them small transformers

Have any capacitors zapped you yet?

Like what you do. Like your video. Jealous of your set up... but please to God stop throwing away pcb boards!! Even low grade boards add up to $ and don't belong in the trash!

Extruded

Get a universal socket they might be bad but could save you time they aren’t for everyone but yeah

It is ferrite that stuff round the transformer

Ey, I'm an electrician and l hate flaheads

Lol we don't love flat heads that's the junk the manufacturer gives us if I reballast a fixture I swap them for Philips

By the time he cashes all in it will barely cover the man hours. It would appear he is on a good one. Meth is a bitch.

Vielen Danke schönen Tag I love you USA Amerika Copper 4 Dollar Menschen I LOVE YOU 99999999999000000000000000000000000000 MILLIONEN

Extruded not excruded.

Star bit? lol 5 sides verses 6. Try a Torx. Americans.... lol

i'm sure your paying your help 15.00 a hour min wage out of your tax free money NOT

Lol, XRP is crap

It's a condenser dehumidifier....
