I pray for the day when china has all the metal and no scrap left...

Scrapitall has a good video on pulling the status apart

Great videos mate. I would love to leave more about how to sell the salvage?

I use snips once I have it at the plastic and brass prongs stage just cut the plastic and coper in half. It's very easy to cut. Then it peals off without risk of little cuts and such on fingers 😀. Don't forget the pongs 😊

2.2 pound per kilo

interesting video!

Pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱🤗🤗🤗

Thanks for the video! Lbs to kilos are 2.2 pounds per kilo. How about a pair of larger garden shears (lopping shears) and crack it in two? Also, maybe use an automotive pick to pull the copper out of the center spool once it is cut or peeled open? Also, I think bare bright has to be 22 gauge and thicker, NO shellac either unless your yard tells you differently. Thanks again!

Nice teardown, thank you /cheers

Thanks for the run down I usually just take off the motor on drop saw's the rest into irony ally but this whole thing would be irony ally, cool Ryobi bucket ha ha 😆😉

Boiling water cleans it up well.

Does your scrap yard actually pay you bare bright price for that appliance wire? Surely not it's to thin needs to be 16 gauge minimal its classed as number 2 like all copper wire strand thinner than a pencil lead whether is clean or bright and shiny.

Bardzo dobra robota 👍 pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski

I like taking them apart and getting the copper out like your doing buddy! Great video just subscribe to your channel!

Witam i pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱👍👍👍

Pretty sure nobody uses plastic gears for steampunk. Looks like time to get some decent new sidecutters too.

dobra robota 👍pozdrawiam z Polski👍

Nice one -- I've made a habit of collecting power plugs myself since I started searching for scrap metal. Nice to do a batch of them when the weather outside is too cold for stripping the wires. Putting the plugs in boiling water for 5-10 minutes softens the plastic casing and makes pulling them out much easier. The little plastic sleeves can be a nuisance to remove though - at least the earth pin is always clean ☺

Nice job. Starting another scrapping channel at th-cam.com/channels/1eJrMUT0lrPM4Ti61TAntg.html , appreciate any views. I use my vice to crush them a bit and then basically fall apart. easier than trying to fiddle with those tabs.

Hi mate! Thanks for the video! I have the same and my display is not working. Any ideas?

Please can u help withdraw, my money, u can't withdraw. I'm from Nigeria

I like striping thes thay are coll to dowe

Barter is great way to get rid of stuff you don't need and get stuff you want, I also have a guy that I barter with

Well i take them put the spool with the plastic in a metal can the burn in a wood fire then I get #2 copper price plus get yellow brass off the prongs or sell them as uncleaned electric motors

Can you show how to do the female end??? 13:41

I found the easiest way to get the copper out, is to cut the spool and plastic on one side using your diagonal cutter, then if you twist it open you can peel out the copper easily.

find it easier if i leave the plugs in the sun for a while beforehand

2.2 to 2.3 pounds to a kilo, not 4

👍

Use an air compressor and blow air down the edge, where you jammed the metal in. One or two quick blasts does it very quickly.

Sharp thats a blast from the past ,I didn't know they still made sharp microwaves, nice breakdown 👍

Only have a few copper coins but have been buying bare bright copper (clean stripped wire)$3.50 a pound here today. Very interesting!

I'm trying to scrap out a complete bicycle. How to tell type of frame and seat post and stem and brake material?

Yeah, I have a few pounds of Australian and New Zealand 1 & 2 cent coins, as well as the very old large 1 penny coins from the early 1960s. I keep them along with a lot of my other foreign Copper. I have more British Copper and Canadian Copper pennies than I do Aussie or Kiwi coins, but even that large pile doesn't compare to my native U.S. 1 cent coins. I have well over 100lbs or 45+ kilos of U.S. Copper cents. It's actually probably closer to 60 kilos. I always ask myself, "are these really going to come in handy?" I never know how to answer myself, but something in the back of my mind tells me that I'd be making a mistake to get rid of them. I love seeing any kind of monetary metal that people are putting away for the future, especially given the trajectory of the world at the moment. I'd love to see your Silver collection. No one ever seems to think they have an accent, but it seems like everyone does, at least according to anyone from the outside. Going through them will give you something to do in your retirement. Have fun!

I use this same model for liquid light shows

Fresnel was French, the 's' is silent.

I hit the windings on the ends with a hammer towards the center and they usually come out whole

7:00 use a hammer to smash them open

@IndustrialPermaculture I’m impressed with your mindful use philosophy and your willingness to put it into inspiring demonstration. I’ve just dropped my own NBC 12A on the floor and opened it up to find a cracked motherboard. I’d like to repair it over replacing the unit, but don’t have the know how or skills to fix the board or rewire the connections. If you still have the motherboard from your deconstruction, I’d love to see if it’d be feasible to repurpose it and help out your growing channel. Stay the course and let me know. Thanks!

I too find it relaxing and enjoyable, plus it does further help the environment

Thanks to poly prophet got to this channel. Good method of getting tyres off the rims, never thought of cutting it into three parts. Also good idea of using the separate band for growing plants to safe them from my dog pooping into them. Will get a try. Another method of getting the tyre off the rim without special tool is driving on them with car, tractor, maybe use a stiff board as pressure plate to drive on it (this way used to get 22,5 truck tyres off the hump into the channel).

Hi Mates.

Need to know how to take apart don't see eny screw on botton need to cline in side

If your selling the pressure plate let me know, cheers

with the triangular screw dont undo it with a screwdriver. just hit a few times with a hammer till the plastic gives way either on the cover or gearbox. two taps is usually enough. I also pull the plastic hiding the screw out with sidecutters after cutting cord. the fans with aluminium gearvox i use sidecutters to cut off the plastic on the swing arm. the screws on the aluminium gearboxes never want to come out so i sell the motor with gearbox. i sell the whole motor as transformers and motors. not worth mucking around with the fine windings especially if theres a chance it will be ally. I let the scrap yard sweat the small stuff

Why are you shredding copper wires? Space saving or just enjoying running your hand through it?

It's very cool that you're thinking about the nature of what money, and there are people who think about and write about this topic. Money was discovered and latched on to because it made barter so much more efficient. This started around 10,000+ years ago with Copper, continued 6,000+ years ago with Silver, and came to full fruition with the discovery of Gold around 5,000+ years ago. Just as the industrial revolution was about to take off, Nickel was discovered and incorporated (circa 1750). Each of these metals can and does represent money, but each of them also possesses a different Wealth Storage Density Capacity (WSDC). Gold obviously stores the most purchasing power, followed by Silver, then Nickel, and finally Copper. They are meant for large, medium, small, and smallest purchasing amounts, but you can think of most of them as being a change-maker for the metal above them. Money is ultimately a claim on human labor and time. This is actually what you are storing in money. So each troy ounce of Gold or Silver that you hold represents hours, days, weeks, months, or even years of labor that you don't have to do in order to earn wealth or purchasing power that will allow you to transact within a society. Notice that I used the word "discovered" and not "created". Money is NOT a convention. It actually has an essence or a nature. Many things, which I would call "poor money substitutes" can be put in the place of money, at least for a time, but these substitutes will never work as well as money, even if they are things like the petro-dollar, which linked dollars to oil in order to create a universal artificial demand for dollars, thereby simulating, to some degree, Gold as a backing for dollars. Money has at least 4 functions and 12 properties. Money is a store of value, a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a standard of deferred payment. If you're interested in the definitions, I can provide those. Let me know. Those are the functions of money. The properties are that money is fungible, durable, portable, recognizeable, stable in value, not easily faked or counterfeited, divisible, verifiably countable, inert, relatively scarce, historically proven, and physical (a weight of some chemical element on the periodic table). Gold has the highest WSDC because it exemplifies these functions and properties of money better than anything else. Real money like Gold, Silver, Nickel, and Copper can be digitized and tied to a block-chain, so there is nothing keeping it from moving with us into the 21st century. The difficulty with money is that is requires transparency, honesty, and discipline in government spending, which runs contrary to fallen human nature that is always tempted to cheat and abuse power. Real money is akin to a kind of moral law within the economics of government, and that's something that politicians hate, particularly those who are low on moral character and high on self-absorption and corruption. They are removing physical cash in order to remove your freedom and economic privacy. Cash or the physicality of money represent a check on government and corporate power, and the one thing that government elites are after today is power over the people. If we had kept our money on a metals standard, we'd be in much better shape that we are today. In 1960, the minimum wage in the United States was $1.25. Today, that same money paid out in five 90% Silver quarters would be worth $20.84 today. The average minimum wage in the U.S. today is between $10.50 to about $13.00 hourly, and it hasn't even come close to keeping up with inflation. However, real money has succeeded in accounting for inflation. I recommend everyone regularly buy some amount of Gold & Silver to preserve their ability to transact outside of the system because CBDCs represent a kind of digital slavery system that should be avoided and refused. Without Gold, Silver, Nickel, and Copper you will not be able to avoid or refuse without massive massive suffering. I do keep physical cash outside of the banking system, as well as significant amounts of money on convenience store gift cards that can be used for food items or gas (petrol), but I hold a majority of my wealth in real money. Have you ever tried contacting "As Good As Gold Australia"? I've looked into crypto, but I can't see it as money, since it doesn't fit the categories and must necessarily be deflationary. There is a difference between a known and an unknown finite amount that makes a difference. Gold has an unknown finite amount as compared to Bitcoin's supposed known finite amount. Also, since Bitcoin can be theoretically divided infinitely to smaller and smaller increments, there are questions as to whether it can truly be said to be finite at all. Bitcoin also has far too much counter-party risk. It is dependent upon users, nodes, power grids, and a steady supply of semi-conductors that are themselves dependent upon massive uninterrupted power supplies and supply chains that are truly massive. Bitcoin is not and can never be actual money, though I do understand why people have been talked into the idea of a technological abstraction being money. Anyone operating outside of the CBDC slavery system will ultimately be tracked down and prosecuted. They will not have competitors to their power, though they may slow-walk that hostility over many many years. I try to hold Gold & Silver, and I passively collect Nickel & Copper, as well as keeping cash outside of the system. I think we are headed toward very dark times, and people who aren't thinking long-term are asking to have problems. If you can't be a contrarian in this kind of environment, then you are going to be a victim, full stop. Incidentally, I don't even own a smart phone. I have an old flip phone. Haha!

I also forgot about one of the best items of trade: tools
