- In today's video we continue scrapping the massive copper transformers I got from the police station. I use a combo of a sawzall and a 7" angle grinder with a carbide blade. Stay tuned for Pt.3 Thanks for watching! #transformers #electric #electricmotor #recycling #scrapping #scrap #copperwire #aluminum #diy #projectshopfl #copperking #led #ledlights #lighting #generator #statorwindingmachine #electricmotor

Thanks for being safe!
Always!
Hello from Moosomin,Saskatchewan,Canada you have great videos and great at communicating. Thanks for sharing. 😊😊
@@spideybrent thank you I appreciate that
@@spideybrent thank you I appreciate that
Cool video! That pump was the same as an old air pump I use to have on all my tropical fish tank's. They pump air to different thing's inside your take for effects. Thing's like opening an old pirate chest or pumping air bubbles. See you on your next video, take care man! 👍
Thanks for the info
you got to love the big one with sheets. Once rolled one out. Still using some parts of the sheets for some projects.😁
That is awesome!
That pump is the configuration as a fish tank pump 😊
Thanks for the info
I use mine scrapping all the time. Cheapest one I could find on the internet. Cuts down sealed AC units quickly to get the copper.
I will be trying it on ac units this week.
love it
Thank you!
The stool worked well for putting your head at the right height. Well done.
It was hard to tell but my face was off to the side, a trick I learned from cutting concrete for 10 years.
Tim from Canada when you have those small transformers.. buy yourself a bathroom scale.. set it on your table.. zero it out put each one separate on your scale no, you will get an exact reading. Then you can write down on the side how much each one weighs. Might take you some time.
Thanks for the suggestion Tim. 👍
OMG, someone gave Derek a plasma cutter😮
YESSSS! haha
@@ProjectShopFl flat steel cuts the best with plasma and when you cut a square in half think two triangles but more shaped like L and 7 because you have steel in the center they should just about fall out under their own weight that way and if you still have the pumps maybe a bubbler for moving along the plastic flake from the copper cuts flowing downward
Hell Yeah Derek . Damn nice load of Copper . Waiting on Part # 3 .
Thanks
I did a 250 lbs. transformer 6 months ago. Got 55 lbs. of #1 bar type copper or just over 20% recovery.
Nice!
Hell ya brother been waitin for this one
Thanks!
I actually looked several times today :)

@@user-yp3ro9li4s Thanks!
👍👍👍👍👍👌Just a suggestion at 30 amps I would think you are probably limited to about 3/8 steel and about 1/8 copper as well I think your air pressure was a little to high would recommend around 50 PSI and it seemed like your outer nozzle was missing on the torch couldn’t quite make it out. with plasma it’s efficiency falls on highly conductive material. Steel, sheet metal, and stainless is where plasma works best in my opinion.
Thanks for the suggestion
Hi Derek once you start using that plasma cutter to cut that stuff that cutters just amazing now if it works properly you Will love it.
Thanks I already love it.
Great looking copper and great job and video
Thank you!
Good score....i always say its better to break stuff down
I totally agree. 👊
So glad we didn’t have to wait very long for this one.
I'm trying to get them out fast.
😂 right? Hell yeah dude so badass!
Absolutely right
Didn't have to wait long for you to break your neck to read that comment
Ha haaaaaa and ole jimmy boy a weirdo as well
Lol
Tard
@@Justjimmy127 but not you
Lol
Cant wait until part 3
Thanks!
@@ProjectShopFl yw
now that was awsome as hell cutting them up and getting all that copper and the pump was cool too thanks for shareing and great video as always .keep the faith
Thanks! 👊
That’s some fine work there C.K. 👍
Thanks 👍
You can use the plasma cutter when the time comes to modify/reconfigure the new trailer. Fork lift first. Just a thought.
Thanks I've been trying to get on the forklift for the past few weeks.
Diablo blades are all I use. Costly but they last longer.
Definitely gets the job done.
Witam i pozdrawiam serdecznie z Polski 🇵🇱
Good job 👍👍👍
Thanks!
verry cool video. i love this big transformators....ok, the first you cut, it was definetly a cutter. but the the second one... 1 have scrapped one of this from General electric US manufakturing, and i could dissasembel the core, kompleatly, after cutting the band Steel, all around. but however... a lot of good copper
🙂
Both of them needed to be cut the way I did. That steel was wrapped all the way around.
ok, thank you 🙂@@ProjectShopFl
That pump is similar to the one used for fish tanks
Thanks
Great video my friend
Thanks!
Put that blade on a circular saw 😂. Nice score though!
Thanks for the suggestion
Absolutely awesome
Thanks!
Massive chunks of Copper. Incredible. Nice job guys. Are you going to do a final wrap up video on these to show how close your profit estimate came to the final cash out from the scrap yard?
Thanks, yes I will be doing a breakdown video of the weights and %
The best application for metal blades are in circular saws
Thanks for the advice
The medical air compressors could be used as airiators on your sluce for seperating insulation
Thanks for the suggestion
Ohhhh my goodness🧡👀
😂👍👍👍
The on going Harbour Freight Chinesium Situation
What Harbor Freight situation?
Pump look similar to à fishtank air pump :)
Thanks for sharing.
That medical air pump is the same as aquarium air pumps. Really cool and simple concept. 👍👊 Another great video!! 👍
Thanks CU.
So much copper dust 😆
I was thinking about washing it in the sluice. lol
@@ProjectShopFl that thing is an awesome tool, wish I had one for my bucket of copper dust!
So the wavy one was copper? Thought you said it was aluminum! Wild I’ve never seen a wavy copper always aluminum!
The wavy stuff was aluminum spacers but the coils were copper.
You need a sign that says “Safety Second”
😂😂😂 Thanks!
When it comes to plasma cutters, i highly recommend a hobart handler, ive cut 1.5 in steel with it and it handled it quite well, (edit) it also handles shitty grounds pretty well, if you get it close to your ground point its gonna cut
Thanks for the suggestion this one was free.
You should try a metal only circular saw, made for cutting plate. And get rid of that suicide grinder😂
I like to live on the edge. lol But I will look in to that thanks.
@@ProjectShopFl you can set the depth of cut, and if you hit the steel underneath it dont care. It will eat it 🤣
"Let there be copper, and there was copper"....
😂😂😂😂
Awesome video Derek and Steve,was i right about the weight on the transformer.
What was your predictions?
your scale lcd screen seems that its not making good contact on the electronic board,try pushing it together to make better contact
Thanks for the suggestion, I think the cold was effecting git it was working fine the next day. lol
It says seller does not except returns 🤪. ✌️
😂😂😂
First time ive checked out any of your vids, and im not gonna lie, at first i was kinda like eh, but after watching for the past couple HOURS, yeah hours! And then noticing you reply to almost every comment, i gotta say, i have ALOT of respect for you bro. You remind me alot of me. Lmfao I think i want to move to florida and work at your shop. Jk. Cool thing you got going though. New supporter here and i dont support any youtubers. Haha
Thank you I really appreciate the comment and the support. 👊
Derrick please be careful when cutting that copper with the plasma cutter copper puts off harmfull fumes i watch big stack d 's youtube channel just care about you brother
Thanks for the concern 👊
My concern is, if your shirt gets caught on that machine or your hand, it will pull you into it. It will not stop.
Thanks for the concern
part 3 coming up after an hour😊
Hopefully. lol
Ever tried using the hydraulic shears on these?
No but I like your thinking. I did use the spreader to help remove the coil once cut.
You are right, it's a needlier
👍👍
Man get you a gas concrete saw
Thanks for the suggestion
Dude just use a circular saw with your Diablo blade. Nice copper scraping
I will try that next time.
I'd need one of the large transformer cores! Can I buy one?
It already went to the scrap yard.
08 is the QC's number.ber that passsed it not the year hehehe
Thanks for the info
@ProjectShopFl np just my guess like the old fruit of the loom commercials "inspected by #5" or something like that if ya know what I mean...great vid as always. Rother keep it ripping
@@scottybeescrapped4429 Thanks!
Do you have to take the tape off to get top pay for the copper?
It's #2 no matter what you do because it has a coating on the copper.
Tell them to get a different scale
Ok I will.
Wow my guy talks more than works
Wow
Just trying to give the reasons for why I do things the way I do.
hve you ever tried to get locomotive copper ?
No but I'd love to get some.
You didn’t have a 254. Look at your notes. 284
Thanks I'm slightly retarted
Are you in Minnesota
South Florida
#mocoppermomoney
👍
That transformer is about 495 lb of copper,my guess
You were close
Made in china? Funny wording on the “destructions” of the plasma cutter😂
😂😂😂
why dont you use a circular saw instead of putting a saw blade in an angle grinder and trying to win a darwin award
that pump goes back and forth because its getting ac, so the coil creates a magnetic field, collapses, creates one of opposite polartiy, collapses, etc. and the magnet reacts
Because I am retarted! lol
every now and then i see you do something kind of genius tho lol@@ProjectShopFl
Derek come on you know you shouldn’t be burning copper indoors that some dangerous fumes
I have great exhaust fans. lol
What is this graded at? 3:02 the connectors
#2 copper but I still have to remove the plastic.
@@ProjectShopFl oh so its ok to have the metal there when you sell as number 2?
@@kartoffelplayz661 What metal?
@@ProjectShopFl inst the connecting point metal?(the shiny one). Is it copper?
Slow boat from China
😂😂😂
Horrible camera shots. Most of the things you're trying to film are not even in the frame
Thanks for the feed back, I will keep that in mind in the future.
The instructions are like if I've had 15 pints of Stella Artois and you asking me to try and tell you what Socrates would have thought about only fans and what's going on in Bidens brain......
😂😂😂😂
14:48 you know you said you’ve never used a plasma cutter I know you’re just a guy, so you probably didn’t read the instructions lol
I skimmed over it. lol
Typical Chinese instructions. You think they would get an English interpreter for the American market. Chinese inst never make sense
It hurt my brain. lol
You should get the top metall to separate. Seen a pakistani or indian transformer refurbisher who lifted the whole top of the metall fork to get to the windings. I think it was interlaced with one and each other at an angle.

Not all transformers are the same. Some you can remove the to and others you cannot.
@@ProjectShopFlIs it a way of couping with loses due to magnetic flux? Seem very inefficent productionwise since winding a closed multicore must be real bummer and time eater.
I would be to stingy to cut it with abrasives. A big spaded sharp jackhammer or other mean to cleave the windings would be the ticket.
if you melt and do this in bars it is much more better for it grade 1 . and not 2 ..
Thank you for the suggestion
