Usually we would send our e-waste to China and they would pay kids to use these acids on our scrap so they can scrape by, but lately China has started refusing all our waste.

This is a ton of work. But if you have some old dead hard drives lying around, open them up and play with the insides!

felicidades muy bien explicado.. un precidimiento bastante tedioso no se cuanto es en dinero lo que sacastes de oro pero lo que sea es algo que se recupero de cosas que ya no tenian un uso adecuado... saludos desde cd obregon sonora
Did the math and found out that after all that's involved and the small amount of gold retrieved, the cost would not be worth the effort. Maybe back in 2008-2009 when gold was around $2000 /ounce this process would be worth the effort, but not today at Gold prices today.
Hmm, I did the math, too, and he is still making around $200 in profit if he is getting high quality (24K) gold out of the ordeal. Frankly, if you are doing this regularly enough and buying bulk in your acids (none of these materials are expensive at all), you could increase profits fairly nicely. Also, $2000 an ounce comes out to be around $70.50 a gram, even at ~$40 a gram today, the returns are not bad.
@@AlexAyoub_ I don't know how much you earn hourly, but all the work involved just to get out $70 a gram? Bottom line, it comes down to how many hours it takes. Time is money and money takes time. So, for me, if this whole process is not producing $100/hr, then for me at least, this would be a waste of time.
@@berniecruz8405 According to the calculator I just checked he got $263 worth of gold out of that batch. My two questions are, how long did it take and how much did he leave behind? If I could pull down $200+ guaranteed daily with just a few hours of actual labor I'd be all over it. I don't get that kind of guarantee with my real job. I'm certain the process in the video could be streamlined and I'm certain he left gold behind because he didn't crack open any of the ICs, which use gold just like CPUs do. There might have been $300, or more, in gold in those PCs. He also didn't even try to extract copper. It's not worth as much as gold, obviously. But it's much more abundant in a computer. I'd go after every penny I could get if I were to try this.
Yes. 6.7 (g) = 602$. Not a bad day's work if you ask me. And he didn't buy those new.Dont be ridiculous. He probably found them or bought them as Junk. Smart move.
@@Alexmechanic559 it would be more like $400 and thats only if it is 100% pure and 24 carot gold which its not. Then you factor in the time to collect enough PCs to get that amount of gold and you are not just finding all of them some were bought. The the time to and chemicals to process it down maybe you walk a way with $100 if you are lucky.

Do electronic recycling centers charge you when you take scrap or can you just ask them if you could take scrap? Or does that depend by State and/or City
Almost, all scrap do not sell scrap because they fuck everyone and buy it much cheaper than actual value then they get even more money when they sell by the ton to refinery. And ofcourse they will not give you anything for free.

nitric acid is really cheap in some countrys but in USA and most europe states you will never reach the break even point below tons of the materials processed at once.
In today's market, that would be worth around $335. The description said $250 back in 2018. It is now 2020. Gold Prices are growing bigger and bigger as we speak!
mmm, no those computer parts aren't probably anything a collector would want since its already not working. the cost of the chemicals used are also cheap or easily made with household items
If....you find buyers. There are billions... literally of these chips around. You just need to know where to look. I recover gold from tens of thousands every month
SynthFrost if they are worth something to you, buy them. Nobody will pay for them as vintage cpus. I see them get scrapped everyday and its profitable aswell, the older they are the better. Referring to the acid, one can pay thousands for anything depending on how much you buy, its still profitable even in small amounts. One last thing, if you want to speak to me and exchange points of view and thoughts, be polite.
I had a little look as to what they the second computer was as I've never seen anything like that before, I presumed industrial. I've seen interface boards but not 4 daisy chained together! They seem to be interface boards for a medical company product, the CPUs on first two machines are circa 1994/1995. Nicolet, the medical company, is still going and seems to make neurological analysis equipment etc. I've a couple ancient Pentium CPUs on a shelf, I was going to make an ornament of them, now I realise I need to melt them down and sell the gold to Dwarves.
@@jimmydehand Yea makes me feel old, 95/96 I built a Dx66 with if I remember rightly 4MB of ram and something like a 540MB hard drive. And that was a vast improvememnt onthe 386 I had!

Como dije, muy buen información, ahora sabemos que el costo de los equipos no es por la tecnología en si, mas bien es por los materiales utilizados, en este caso el oro, saludos! Thank you very much for the publication of such valuable information (literally) I made the calculations of the value obtained for the change and the price of gold today May 17, 2020 and it would be something like $ 373.86 USD, although the work done to obtain those 6.7 grams of Gold is not too much, I do not think it will be profitable in the long term as a stable business, since a lot of waste should be sought with the same characteristics described here, and due to the variables of each country in terms of disposal of electronic equipment and the implications to work with the necessary chemicals, I think that this type of business would be very, very specific, and personally I would like to do it as a hobby rather than a long-term business .... As I said, very good information, now we know that the cost of the equipment is not for the technology itself, but rather for the materials used, in this case gold, regards!
That white paste thermal shield on that CPU is expensive and hard to find. And there is a lot of Monel metal in such electronics. It looks like aluminum or stainless steel but it's strongly magnetic. Last time I looked, it was worth over $8USD/pound as scrap metal.
Where the hell did you see aluminum or stainless steel selling for $8 per pound i buy and sell scrap metal and in 12 years have never seen either of those over $1.80 lb and thats being generous hell copper which is worth more then both of those combined has been under $5 per lb longer then ive been in the business. most definitely would like to know where you found that price.
With the computer narrating voice it feels like the equivalent of a human telling a robot how to dismantle and chemically breakdown a human for its organs
In Germany, when I google 'nitric acid' or I want buy this in the web, in few minutes a special force stormes my appartment and I come to a list of suspicious persons. How do you buy this stuff in US?
everyone complaining how much work and it took ages etc etc no it took a few hours, most of it was just leaving it in a bucket to soak and they get scrap computers for a couple of bucks each, the chemicals not much in bulk and a dollar goes a long way over there so...
Not economically feasible for the majority of people, even if you get all the parts for free, the shipping costs, chemicals and time used (we are talking about many weeks) makes it too costly. Better off teaching english via skype or something. But I would say if you are in a country like china it might be worth it.
@@julittok You don't know what you are talking about. We get electronic scrap in our warehouse every day and once a month we burn it down and extract the gold and we make enough to pay our rent.
@@julittok not true at all. For this amount sure it’s a waste of time. But I run a much larger gold refining operation and we profit year over year. Very similar methods just more up to date. If you’re working with large amounts of scrap and have a process that allows it you can make a lot of money doing this. His method requires a few weeks but there are other methods that only require hours.
la pregunta es: realmente es rentable el costo de materiales quimicos y destinar todo ese tiempo para la extracción de oro de equipos de computacion? el valor de esa pepita de oro cubre los costos de extraccion?

In today's market, that would be worth around $335. The description said $250 back in 2018. It is now 2020. Gold Prices are growing bigger and bigger as we speak!
Gold is not becoming more valuable. The US dollar is just becoming less and less valuable.

Thank you for sharing a very good and interesting video. Hope you have more great videos
Actually he made money by showing it to us

When you spend more on money recovering the gold than the money you would've made selling the parts to collectors on eBay
mmm, no those computer parts aren't probably anything a collector would want since its already not working. the cost of the chemicals used are also cheap or easily made with household items
All this is dookie except for the gold, so yeah, when I'm done extracting the gold, do what you want with it
6.7g is like 300-400$
If....you find buyers. There are billions... literally of these chips around. You just need to know where to look. I recover gold from tens of thousands every month
Good knowledge.👍
0:58 dat "twang" sound 😂
you're beautiful
This is my problem, sure the gold is worth a lot. But lots of collectors will usually pay more than the gold value.
isnt that a good thing?
Great 👍👍👍
so many old cpus, that was a relic
Gold is older :P
shut the fuck up pj
you might pay a 150$ for those chemicals btw :D
not really - do some fact checking mate...
SynthFrost if they are worth something to you, buy them. Nobody will pay for them as vintage cpus. I see them get scrapped everyday and its profitable aswell, the older they are the better. Referring to the acid, one can pay thousands for anything depending on how much you buy, its still profitable even in small amounts.
One last thing, if you want to speak to me and exchange points of view and thoughts, be polite.
Ton of work for such small return
Awesome thanks for sharing nice content good luck ❤️thanks for the support I appreciate it a lot
I had a little look as to what they the second computer was as I've never seen anything like that before, I presumed industrial. I've seen interface boards but not 4 daisy chained together! They seem to be interface boards for a medical company product, the CPUs on first two machines are circa 1994/1995. Nicolet, the medical company, is still going and seems to make neurological analysis equipment etc.
I've a couple ancient Pentium CPUs on a shelf, I was going to make an ornament of them, now I realise I need to melt them down and sell the gold to Dwarves.
Lol its only profitable if you have an operation like this guy, where you melt 30-40 chips in bulk.
yes i noticed the age of the cpu's too. dx2's were on their way in as the sx was on its way out
@@jimmydehand
Yea makes me feel old, 95/96 I built a Dx66 with if I remember rightly 4MB of ram and something like a 540MB hard drive. And that was a vast improvememnt onthe 386 I had! I sadly remember the difference dx/sx was something like if it had a built in maths co processor? Early x86s used to even have an optional SEPARATE co processor. That would I'd imagine be about 0.0000000000001% of the maths ability of a decent graphics card now :)
4:00 onwards... Nitric acid to water, 1:2 let sit for 2 weeks...

Muchas gracias por la publicación de tan valiosa información (literalmente) hice los cálculos del valor obtenido al cambio y a la cotización del oro hoy 17/may/2020 y serian algo asi como $373.86 USD, si bien el trabajo realizado para obtener esos 6.7 gramos de oro no es demasiado, no creo que sea rentable a largo plazo como un negocio estable, pues se debería de buscar mucho desperdicio con las mismas características aqui descritas, y debido a las variables de cada país en cuanto a desecho de equipo eléctronico y a las implicaciones de trabajar con los quimicos necesarios, creo que este tipo de giros empresariales serian muy pero muy específicos, y en lo personal me gustaría hacerlo como un hobby que como un negocio a largo plazo.... Como dije, muy buen información, ahora sabemos que el costo de los equipos no es por la tecnología en si, mas bien es por los materiales utilizados, en este caso el oro, saludos!
Thank you very much for the publication of such valuable information (literally) I made the calculations of the value obtained for the change and the price of gold today May 17, 2020 and it would be something like $ 373.86 USD, although the work done to obtain those 6.7 grams of Gold is not too much, I do not think it will be profitable in the long term as a stable business, since a lot of waste should be sought with the same characteristics described here, and due to the variables of each country in terms of disposal of electronic equipment and the implications to work with the necessary chemicals, I think that this type of business would be very, very specific, and personally I would like to do it as a hobby rather than a long-term business .... As I said, very good information, now we know that the cost of the equipment is not for the technology itself, but rather for the materials used, in this case gold, regards!
ماهو اسم المحاليل التي استعملها لو سمحت
1g of pure Gold worth USD41.
6.7g of pure Gold worth USD274.
Hmm only if the gold is 999/9999 pure and 24k.
Camroc Ian 24k isn’t pure gold lol
Thank you, good job. 👍
This music is like playing a farm game in your mobile.
That white paste thermal shield on that CPU is expensive and hard to find. And there is a lot of Monel metal in such electronics. It looks like aluminum or stainless steel but it's strongly magnetic. Last time I looked, it was worth over $8USD/pound as scrap metal.
Where the hell did you see aluminum or stainless steel selling for $8 per pound i buy and sell scrap metal and in 12 years have never seen either of those over $1.80 lb and thats being generous hell copper which is worth more then both of those combined has been under $5 per lb longer then ive been in the business. most definitely would like to know where you found that price.
This good video was informative very.
This guy is real alchemist! HeHe 🌟💚💟💜
With the computer narrating voice it feels like the equivalent of a human telling a robot how to dismantle and chemically breakdown a human for its organs
How many times can you the nitric acid ?
Great video 👏👏👏🥂
I need to enroll and be a chemist first before I extract gold from CPU.
In Germany, when I google 'nitric acid' or I want buy this in the web, in few minutes a special force stormes my appartment and I come to a list of suspicious persons. How do you buy this stuff in US?
So hard to get the chemical stuff...
Any hydroponics grow shop will have a high level nitric acid probably over 75 % I can't remember what % my bottle contains

everyone complaining how much work and it took ages etc etc no it took a few hours, most of it was just leaving it in a bucket to soak and they get scrap computers for a couple of bucks each, the chemicals not much in bulk and a dollar goes a long way over there so...
Great video! Where did you find the computer parts and get that much in bulk? Also, any specific computers to look for that have more gold parts?
Not economically feasible for the majority of people, even if you get all the parts for free, the shipping costs, chemicals and time used (we are talking about many weeks) makes it too costly. Better off teaching english via skype or something. But I would say if you are in a country like china it might be worth it.
@@julittok well in China sparepart were different you Will be get less gold rather than Europe Made computer ,
@@joyogggKids better learn how to trade the gold. i
@@julittok You don't know what you are talking about. We get electronic scrap in our warehouse every day and once a month we burn it down and extract the gold and we make enough to pay our rent.
@@julittok not true at all. For this amount sure it’s a waste of time. But I run a much larger gold refining operation and we profit year over year. Very similar methods just more up to date. If you’re working with large amounts of scrap and have a process that allows it you can make a lot of money doing this. His method requires a few weeks but there are other methods that only require hours.
la pregunta es: realmente es rentable el costo de materiales quimicos y destinar todo ese tiempo para la extracción de oro de equipos de computacion? el valor de esa pepita de oro cubre los costos de extraccion?
That's almost enough gold for a filling in my tooth that I need filling :)
It is a good idea For recycling
