I think it'd be cool to see more stuff like this. "What can we make out of.. *insert random things here*"
This papershredder's a BUST. So LAME.
This made me laugh so much. Felix's acting is always 11/10
the paper shredder motor is strong. i scrapped 2 and have 1 for a project (the other was bad, so i scrapped the copper.)..
i found a lot of computer disk drives, and worm drive motors are perfect for other projects. (besides, who could pass up a $1 disk drive, that has a $5 motor and other good parts?)
1:25 The moment Karen was really doubting joining the ben heck show was a good idea.
You can all moan and groan, but Linus copied the concept as well. The true original is Scrapheap Challenge/ Yunkyard wars dating back to 1998.
+gietie96 Exactly, Junkyard Wars on TLC (back when it actually earned it's The Learning Channel acronym) was amazing.
I loved that show when I was a kid. TLC was like another Discovery Channel, back when Discovery was still awesome. How times have changed :(
also, sorry for responding to a 2 year old comment
@@McMeatBag why
Ben bragging about his 8mm rod
This isn't Scrap yard wars part 5
+One Eyed Monky Linus, back at it again!
+One Eyed Monky My thoughts exactly.
everyone saying this is a ripoff of scrapyard wars, at least this is only 1 part rather then 7 LINUS
1:14 I don't think I've ever seen Karen without the big cheesy smile
SCRAP YARD WA... Wait a minute....
yes... yes
the confessionals are terrible.
Felix is really getting good at bad acting. Wait.
Also, make super high jumping shoes with all those springs! To the sky!
All the other stuff aside, what I'm really enjoying about The Ben Heck Show is...watching Felix grow , show-by-show, ever more comfortable and confident in front of the camera. It's a joy to watch. I imagine that learning to be a presenter is a difficult task when you have Ben "So cheesy, they should call me Quesadilla" Heckendorn as a presenting coach! (No offense, Ben, you're still awsome!)
*cough* scrapyard wars *cough*

COOL! I've been doing this for years. I go to Goodwill about once a week and find some super cheap electronics that I can scrap. The thing I've been doing the past couple of years is getting an old portable DVD player (that takes video inputs), a child's toy laptop (Vtech or Leap Frog usually), and a classic console, along with a few other custom things I gotta do, and make a portable video game console out of it all.
cool episode linus!
+dillykins Linus, back at it again!
To anyone joking about this being a ripoff of LinusTechTips and their show Scrapyard Wars I advise you to look up "Junkyard Wars". Both are satires of that show.
So this is a satire of Junkyard wars, which is exactly what Linus tech tips did.
+One Eyed Monky
That's a very... ignorant stance.
"He parodied that one thing, anyone *else* parodying that same thing is just copying him!"
But I do think Ben adhered to the source material better here with the manufactured drama/ridiculous results conclusion. Linus had his own thing with just the vague concept to go off of while Ben took the satire to heart.
***** just pointing out that your logic is flawed you say they are the same and you also said copy not me.
I think you should look up the definition of satire.
The typewriter doesn't have any battery compartement, this is just a case to store the wire during travel. And warning: if you dismount the print head to take a look at the circuit, you might encounter difficulties making it work later, some screws have to be screwed at a certain level.
Is Felix high? He's extremely hyper for himself.
"regrettable acting"
BenHeckTechTips
Exactly xD
Salvage wars? Scrapyard wars?
+beaker15 hmmm yeah weird i hope they asked
Umm.... You guys realize there was a show called Junkyard Wars on TH-cam long before Linus, right?
well yeah probably....
+beaker15 two different words, they are safe. lol
junkyard wars was a real tv not just on youtube
I love this group and I'm looking forward to the Jumanji board. I used to watch Ben Heck Show for Ben, but this team has everything you need for an entertaining video. Every member has their own personality and individual scale of creativity. It's really nice to see fellow nerds really make nerdy stuff seem cool. That was never the case when I was in grade school.
soo... it's like LTT's Scrapyard Wars
+Ryan S In the same way that was like Junkyard Wars which was like Scrapheap Challenge, etc., etc.
I totally expected to see the camera pan to Ben and show him drinking Diet Pepsi and licking plastic..
i swear it doesnt matter what felix is doing hes always got the "i hate this job" look on his face
The Ben Heck show you shoud have invited Linus and Luke dont forget Luke!
"If Ben wasn't over there drinking diet soda and licking plastic." Bahahaha
Idea for the jumanji: physical dice are thrown on a one-way mirror that has a camera underneath for video-recognizing the face. The dice score will then be 7 minus the recognized number (opposite faces on dice add up to 7). To keep it low profile, you could install a 45° mirror under the dice-throwing surface so the light path gets deviated by 90°.
+Davide Bongiovanni
That's an awesome idea. You would need a special area to throw the dice into, though. (dunno how that works in the movie...)
Yeah and it would also be relatively confined, but it would still be better than a simple readout, I think. Plus they already compromised on the track shape.
Old amps/tuners can be handy for cases and sockets (if you're into building audio products). Potentiometers, heatsinks, relays, transistors and capacitors can be harvested. The latter 2 really need to be run on a tester to ensure they're worth keeping, though.
Please do more videos in this reality TV format. This was genuinely hilarious.
Karen you can use a 74HC152 as a QSD provided you drive the 74HC152 via a Jonson counter based on the 74AC74 the output can be fed to a phasing network to recover the audio from the incoming RF.
+DAVID GREGORY KERR Thanks!
Karen when Ben is talking is like yeah ? yeah.
Really fun show- great presentation, and great scraping/sourcing/recycling tips!
I'd like to scrap an pinball machine... just to put it right back together again :-P
Haha this is great, reminds me of the pimp my ride and early mythbusters era...
... Linus? Is that you?
3:57 - My parents had a dark blue one when I was a kid. Camped with that thing for decades!
You might have just used the value of the components salvaged subtracted form the initial project cost to figure the winner. . . and the amount by weight of each item of what gets put back into the recycle bin. Aluminum and steel and plastics by weight . The story line was great. Great Show
Please, more salvage videos!
I do this with my old electronics. Kinda makes me feel like a horder though. I did happen to find a trashed Yamaha home theatre amp on the side of the road which worked fine (had a broken volume knob, which I repaired). I've learned that you take screens, knobs, switches, dials, motors, heatsinks, and the like. I don't usually bother with smaller items now, as newer components are so cheap.
well i always go for the printers, they got at least 1 stepper 1-2 dc motors a couple of light barrier switches a linear rod and often come with a scanner on top that brings you a glass pane some kind of long light source and another stepper. plus as always a fuckton of screws and if its a quite modern part most of them are the same, which is nice as you almost never nees one single screw of a type to attach something XD
Good scrapping! I once used the IGBT's out of a broken TIG welder to make a 555 timer-based motor controller. It was fantastic, 200amps @12volts effortlessly wrangled basically for free! 5kHZ variable duty cycle, worked beautifully. Unfortunately I then connected it to a shunt-wound motor out of a hydraulic pump, which ran sweet as a nut on the bench, but immediately drew 400+ amps and burned out the IGBT's when put under load in a go-kart. DOH! Poor research about the motor scuppered that one. Unable to find any more solid-state components, I went to a massive relay from an automobile starter motor switched at 16HZ in the end, it was a bit jerky to say the least!!
Anyway, I'd be intrigued to see the LC75392 electronic volume control used in a project, I'm soon to move from the middle of nowhere to somewhere with neighbors and have an idea for an automated volume control system that I can use to stop my 4kW horn-loaded P.A. system getting me arrested....... I feel a chip like the LC75392 could be the missing link, if only I could figure out the serial data aspect.....!
I love the editing and the t-v show feel!
This show needs a voice over by Robert Llewellyn!
Google scrapheap challenge if you are not a nerd. Junkyard Wars for the Yankees, because war of course.
A pretend reality show trapping isn't any less annoying than a real reality show format...
The first rule of finding crap to take apart: sharing is caring. So Karen wins, anyway ;)
But yeah I'd love to know what useful things you can do with old microwave parts. I assume the magnetron is only really useful if you want to, heat yourself/something up? Maybe the transformer, for getting tons of voltage? I've been taking things apart since age 10 or so (20+ years ago) and I love learning how it all works. Or if not learning, just finding cool things that seem important or in-the-future-useful parts.
+Jon Spence I really want to use a microwave transformer to make a spot welder, but Ben's a little afraid of dealing with that high of voltage. I can't blame him.
All-in-one printer/scanner units are pretty nice to take apart.
This is a great commentary of modern reality shows, but now I actually want to see this show come to a series on like A&E or something.
fun show . . .
Scrapping old used hard drives is a blast - really old ones like a few megabytes those are old and hard to find but are a great item to take apart...
Default? The two sweetest words in the English language! De-FAULT! De-FAULT! De-FAULT!
Scored a heap of nice parts from an old microwave. Even the shelving on my electronics work bench is largely recycled from broken furniture found on the side of the road.
Stoked for CRT pip boy. Super stoked. Do it.
video editing is geting better and better and better... :)
+Floppy Bird
Still lots of unnecessary close ups on Ben, though.
Ben has way too much fun with the acting lol
My favorite thing to scrap are old Zebra label printers off of e-bay. You can sometimes find them for less than $20.00. The older ones like the S600 have two large stepper motor (NEMA 23) with timing belts.
Karen "you can use this" Ben "no you cant"
Ben should make them answer free craigslist ads and make projects with the free stuff.
Ben makes a video that is for sure inspired by LTT. Goes on to say that Toaster Ovens make great reflow ovens. I guess somebody doesn't have Vessel and hasn't seen Linus visit Louis Rossmann in his shop.
Oh I'm looking forward for that Pip-Boy project Ben...
Watching this video gave me a +1 on my Scrapper perk!
Felix has emotions? I'm surprised
Oh hilarious! "If He wasn't busy over there drinking Diet Pepsi and licking plastic..." What great entertainment, AND I always learn something! :) jim
Is that the music from Roosterteeth's "On the Spot" in the background at 3:35?? Or does that song have a name?
I thought the same thing! I think the music is probably royalty free or something.
+gr8gassy yh must be, would be cool to know what it is if there is an extended version of it that is...

hard drive platters are really shiny and really tough, you could use them as a heavy duty mirror.
hi, can you read this?
+Proyectos LED Maybe
+The Ben Heck Show hahah, thanks!!
NAK

Karen sabotaged Felix by giving him the second item!
I used a 8mm rod from a broken 2d printer in my latest 3d printer project. Works perfectly
Generic name for Loctite is Anaerobic thread locking compound, if anyone is curious.
9:58 They are called "RF300". The most common motor ever.
If only we could also salvage some space when we salvage scrap. Storage is a bitch.
90 VAC for the VFD? The highest voltage i have seen on one was in the ballpark of -35VDC - The filament is usually 2-3 VAC.
I always go for VCRs, they always have good parts.
This is a great idea for earth day, any channels people can recommend for learning basics and beginner projects? Definitely thinkKaren should have won there were a lot of great parts in that system.
i like how they used the same public domain generic game show theme music that On the Spot uses.
Culvers Mint Chip Shake? Yummy! I like that prize.
Now use all those parts to make a hovercraft.
This episode of Scrapsalvagewars brought to you by Dbrand skins
why is this not an actual reality show yet? :p
That reminds me of Scrapyard Wars
Btw, wasn't it brought to me by dbrand? Meh.
Yay! I'm so glad Karen won, she is totally awesome! and I so want that Bat-necklace :D
Great Scott!! The video was very cool, but you could have been more ecological by turning the equipments into something more useful instead of dismantling them to get few useful components and trashing 90% of the rest. For instance, the Typewriter could have been turned into a printer, as the stereo could have been upgraded with a bluetuooth connection and the paper shredder could have received an automatic paper feeder.
Scrapyard wars!!!!!!!
13:42
"Add another transformer to the pile! A ma muu-ah?"
Felix you're adorable as fuck, just saying' :P :P
Ben your lips looked a little blue during this episode you may want to get your blood oxygen levels checked.
so black and Decker drills tend to have real crappy transmissions that break easy....yet the motor and everything else are excellent. go to town on the motor
Why is there always spider webs inside old electronics? it's not like there's food in there for em!
+paradoxdesigns No, but there is shelter.
really hope you decide to make the pip boy or maybe try your hands at making a VR device
Haha, that's my garage boombox. The CD player stopped working after being in the same room as me sanding drywall for 3 days.
+relishgargler You live in Madison? I found it sitting next to a dumpster in my friend's apartment complex.
I didn't mean that exact one. I have one exactly like it that I got for Christmas circa 1996 or so. Sorry for the confusion.
Great regrettable acting, especially from Felix!
like i dont have enough trouble driving past curbside crap as it is without this lot encouraging me to do it more!!!
I have a project idea! Pipboy3000 from fallout
Alan Goyan IDontcarehowolditisyesyesyes
To good an idea for spacing.
Am I being paranoid here or this is a jab at Linus? haha
anyone else thinking this is a spin of "scrapyard wars" from linustechtips
Heres an idea how about you guys go out and get different items to salvage from then come together and create something using parts from all 3 items.
This is a spin off of Scrapyard Wars on LTT
Were they using the on the spot music around 3:36 ?
You guys need set goals and an actual winner to make it interesting :P
Hey its just like LinusTechTips!
Can you create NDS raspberry pi project ???
I was wondering if salvaging the following chips ESMT M11B1616a - 45T or EliteMT M11BB416256A. They seem to be DRAM. Thank you in advance for your advice!
