First post! I was really rooting for that Styrofoam plate after the lightbulb tube snapped. It was hanging on right to the bitter end. Glad to see the auger in good form and chewing through stuff successfully.
its kinda terrible the tube snaps because that was not a led replacement tube it was a florescent tube and they contain mercury and really shouldn't go in the garbage
Somewhere after 4:26 the fluorescent light tube got caught on a wall of trash and broke in half. Initially, I had thought there was a definite snap noise indicating precisely where it broke but I can't find that point in the video. By the next time it is visible, though, it was half a light tube, which survived until 6:22 in the video where it finally toppled and fell into the auger and was pushed through into the back with the rest of the trash. It had a really good run. 😁
Some rolled up cardboard tube conspired with the rest of the trash to try and topple the fluorescent tube, along with some other trash, but it didn't really break it, only helped a wall of trash temporarily push down on the tube. Those fluorescent tubes are pretty strong, they take a bit of damage before they break. There was a crunching noise about where the tube broke, but I can't find that noise, either.
im glad thos things are so hard to break becuase it makes it less likely one will shatter and spill mercury everywhere when a idiot throws one in the garbage
They usually break easy. When I worked on a rear pack we used to throw them at the blade to break them. It was the only way to fit the long ones in the hopper.
Fluorescent light bulbs should not go in the garbage. While they contain a very small amount of mercury, when you consider thousands of them thrown away every year it will be a lot of mercury.
@@atomstarfireproductions8695 Me what would scare me is that if at the moment when the tube there is a Spark or a discharge the static electricity the neon gas could potentially ignite but I'm probably wrong
@@TomGuimond neon gas is not flammable or reactive. It’s a noble gas. If you apply high enough voltage arc and it is concentrated enough, it will glow. That’s how a neon light works
That bulb fought tooth and nail not to get broken, it was very entertaining seeing your video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That's the only Downside to a single auger they bridge very quickly . But once they nibble at stuff for a while, they sort themselves out.
