You are my favorite superhero!

Seriously you never run out of cool things to show

Wow I’ve disassembled so many of these things but always disposed of the glass. I still have all of the other sheets however for when the day comes I’m ready to use them. I have particular interest in the ccfl flybacks. I have a stack of em now. Not sure what to do with so many. Better in my possession however; rather that left out to corrode under the hot desert sun (Texas) I found em in! Cheers! Thanks for the knowledge you provide. These younger kids have no idea how good we have it now. I’m 35 and got off to a late start (regarding electronics); but having majored in chemistry, I was no stranger to the way electrons behave. I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am to have continued my pursuit of knowledge in such a time where I can collect wisdom from a fellow man on the other side of the world. It’s truly amazing. Again, thanks.

Looking forward to seeing how you put the “glass” to use for solar! Thanks!

I've repaired a couple of LCD monitors by repcing visably blown electrolitic capacitors. That's relativly easy. But if you have more monitors than you need, stripping them to upcycle parts is certainly a great option.

You are on a roll now! You've caught everybody's imagination. So good to see you back! It's hard to keep up, what's next? ... Fantastic why to charge a phone directly from one 4 volt panel.

This is really great information, I've come across your channel and I'm learning so much, thank you Robert, keep it going!

You are the dogs ........, I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel, I don't understand everything, but what's wrong with a 52year old learning new tricks.

"don't go at it like a mad thing" that was just amazing commentary Robert! The hands and arms tell a whole different tale than your mouth that is usually mutually exclusive. People that have an in depth working knowledge of "things" usually have a hard time with toiletry and people with cuts and dirt on their hands usually have difficulty with one plus one... you are an Abnormal amalgam of the best of both worlds sir. Bravo!!!! and great videographer skills to boot!

Oh this is good, I'm looking forward to where this is going! Thanks for the video Robert!

I am here to begin my research into this topic. I'm so excited!🤓

ITO Glass? Always learn new things from you. Thank you Robert.

She said chuck it in the waste. I watch a favorite person of mine and he says save it and make a solar cell. I chucked it in my shop. 🤣🤣. 👍🏼💯. Thanks!

This was a member only video when I saw it and one of the reasons I joined. I have dozens of these in storage from 17in to 65in local thrift store owner just calls me every time he gets broken one or other that dont seem to work pay no more than 5 bucks for a 65 or 2 for 17in. This could really save me some money

that is absolutly amazeing! How that i didn't think about it? Thank you for all your shared work and knowleadge!!

What can I say: Genius Robert!

Thank you Robert.

This project is all about finger print real estate, thanks Bob.

I worked in experimental electrical conductive plastics in the 80s. We would screen print dielectrics on the conductive glass, then conductive patterns on the dielectrics. connect them to an alternating current source and make them light up the glass in the pattern we designed.

Rob, this is great, may be an idea to create a solar cell to battery system/power wall to provide self sufficient energy requirements for the home

This is a topic that is very important! Good thing it's being treated here. There's just too much going into the garbage, and here's how we should deal with it. Thank you for the experimental show. Yore a great guy!

nice to see these things cleverly re used instead of discarded.

I like tidbits such as this. 70 years on the planet and still learning. Thanks. :)

Carelessly throwing the unneeded parts to the side, 2 thumbs up!

ITO is amazing stuff, so many possibilities, looking forward to the next video.

Throwing stuff around was hilarious. There's often a really good mirror surface as the rear layer in them. My wife uses one for her makeup :) Will definitely try the solar experiments, have been looking to get into homemade solar for ages.

You are one busy guy, I wish I had your level of energy.

Thanks Robert.

I've been taking them apart the last year I've never seen any like yours. the screens I get are usually busted. Nice acrylic you found! I can't wait to see the different types of experiments you do Robert!

can't wait for part 2!

I knew I kept those old monitors for a reason :) eagerly waiting the next video now!

Robert I absolutely love your channel! And I’m learning a ton of new ideas…. One question though… why did the glass shrink so much when you separated it? 😂

Super Vid my friend 👍👍👍 , the money laying on the street , but most of the peoples can't see ! Like your way to ground the things with simple demonstrations how to do !

I took 32 inch led tv apart like that it had 4 strips with leds on them. Each strip had 4 leds on them I wired two strips in parallel which made a 12 volt light then I put the two parallel strips in series which made it 24 volts. I used a small 12 volt 1 amp ac transformer built a voltage doubler circuit to run it . Put the screen back together and made a light h to hang on the wall in the bedroom! I also did this with some smaller screens. My goofy wife of 42 years says they're tacky looking! 😀

Love it. Always something awesome 👍

Thanks a lot Robert I didn't know that there are acrylic sheet in these tvs i just finished extracting parts form tons of stuff Iv had for a while I have a huge pile outside of the left over but I'm going to go and get the tv and take the screen apart and hopefully there will be a nice sheet of acrylic thanks man this video was helpful

Also I scrapped one of those heaters you made a wind generator out of I'm you've inspired me to make my own thanks mate

Robert please allow me to send you an idea via email in hopes of you trying it on your channel. Your channel is probably one of the top 5 I have EVER seen on KZfaq, thanks for the knowledge! 😊👍🏻

Cant wait for part 2 , i pick up heaps of Lcd tvs through my work...

this guy never stops does he!?

I try to get my hands on LCD screens for the acrylic panel and for the metal as it is handy for little jobs. Thank you for pointing out how valuable the screen is though, but where do you get rid of the bits? If I recovered the screen it would be for resale.

Respect the he man with dirty hands. They built the world we enjoy.

Let me get ya bits. Lol. 👍. Love your channel.

Excellent video. Just wish you released it a couple of months ago when I stripped my old TV. At least I know now for next time, thank you.

Thank's for sharing

I learned something today! Thanks.

Robert, you're doing a grand job man. Question from an excited newbie. If you create a solar cell using the lcd screen, what voltage/current would you expect to get from it?

Hello mr. Robert I was wondering where do you get those 3 glass sheet from for flat screen TV just the glass sheet?

And here it is! Ty

New sub, great content and material. Question: Where can the Diffuser Sheets, the lamp diffusers and ITO/TFT glass be sold? I'm interested in stripping this stuff down, I have access to a boatload and helps kill time while generating extra funds.

Fresnel lense did you say? Solar death ray here I come!

This ITO conductive glass can be found in the larger 40-60 inch LCD T.v s also ???

Wow I enjoyed this thanks

Robert is really generous

Well I've taken appart three so far and the only ones with glass thick enough I can save are the Samsung ones. I've not found any perspex. I am enjoying the speakers.

I thought this was a video from '999 Dusan' for a moment there :). When I was young (this was in a previous century) I used to take a sorts of stuff apart, radiograms, TVs, adding machines etc. Sometimes I even remembered to unplug them first! So I found this great fun!

Any chance you would happen to know how to make a linear fresnel lens or what exactly I would have to take it out of I don't want a fresnel lens that Focus light into a single dot. I want a linear fresnel lens that focuses light into a (line of light)... I have a project that I need this for but I have absolutely no idea how to get one I mean I can buy one from China but you never know what's going to happen from there to here and I would have to wait exactly one month to even get a small 50x50 mm one I'm not really too picky on the size I just want to know if it works the way I intend for it to work.

i got 4 of these i was going to pitch them until now that is lovely i wish you were my neighbour wont to move to east Tn ;] oh my lord we might even make something usefully profitable fer the masses just a fun thought .. and as always be blessed

very cool. i have alot of those old monitors so i now have something to do

so much useful stuff just ends up on trash heaps. thanks for showing that there is an alternative

wonderful!

Hey Robert make sure you look into RED MERCURY. fascinating old tech.

Good tips mate, I never know that there were so many usable layers in the screen. I would love to see how you use them as a solar cell?

Can't wait to see the video about the new motor that look very interesting wounder how efficient it will be also what phase will you make it

I want to see you make that into a solar cell and how much you get off it!

20 or more point source LEDS on a strip, best white LED money can get today inside! But this screen has HV AC plasma back-light.

This is genius

how do you use the glass as solar cell?

If you expose an LED to light does it work like a solar cell and generate electricity ?

Is part 2 out yet?

Rob... your the poor mans google scholar.

Not a bad payout for a bit of labor.

Genius! Have I understood this right? I see often old flalt screen TVs in the recycling. If I take these 40 inch screens can I make a solar array from them? In fact my fave place reopens tomorrow.

You are awesome

Can’t wait to see Part 2 ! Is the conductive glass the same across the whole surface, or are there connections along the edges that need to be intact ? I have a large broken one and wondered if it could easily be cut down to remove the sharp corners and then used for a solar cell. If anyone knows that would be great. If not, I guess I’ll just need to give it a try.

And now I am sad, I just had an hho experiment explode and flying glass went through one of my reclaimed lcd tvs.. I had just stripped the "good bits" out and threw away the broken screen thinking I had saved all the good stuff... now I learn I smashed and threw away the gold :( luckily I have loads more !

I've used broken LCD displays a number of times. The Poly Carbonate sheets in them is most useful Didn't know about the two sheets glass. Nor the conductive glass. LED light bar's get used.

Sir , what is the concept behind "Aloe E-Cell" ? Is it feasible for per cost basis daily use?

Thanks for the Disassemble anyway

have any DMF? might take care of that polymyde layer. or perhaps if your kiln is big enough you can bake it off without killing the ito?

Very interesting video

It's very surprising what you can do with broken parts. I never expect that an old LCD-Screen can be the base for a solar cell! It's a pitty that mostly those items get just in the bin as special garbage.

Might try this with my 50 " spare TV

I've got three 17 inch ones that I would love to turn into solar panels

I can't seem to find part 3.

Stig of the dump strikes again! :o) xx

Really Cool👍👍

thank prof

What if you make it into a dc pulse motor/generator with a bedini circuit let say you have 6 coils 3 can be motor coils and 3 can be generator coils or make it bldc 3 phase

I found the perspex in Dell LG computer monitors but only flexible white plastic In LCD tv's

Somewhere around 4:20, does anyone else notice the camera distortion? Is that related to some sort of reflected light from the piece he’s holding, and if so, why?

I have NEVER been able to take off the polarizing filter intact like that LOL By the way, ITO is freaky in that it conducts electricity yet transparent.

Is the Fresnel lens usable to make a solar death Ray?:)

Those boards are great for precious metals but now i have a reason to to save more stuff my wife is not going to be happy but ill show her your video. So you can vouch for me ok?

In a future video would you be so kind as to show us how to wire it up?

polyimide ? is that the same polyetherimide thats used to coat glass on 3d printers to get plastic to stick?

I'll keep my eyes peeled for a broken one. Do the two pieces of glass have different levels of resistance? Another video to make me think lol Thanks mate

I tried, I really did, but that glass pane was more of a source of frustration, than actual materials. The acryllic plastic alone was worth the trouble though

Hi i know this question is not your arwa of expertise but i know your a great researcher,how can i build awn ignition cdi for any small atv scooter etc

😮😄😅I am not good in English. To understand all .but you are smart.👍👏
