I mentioned this before but I am stunned to the bone by how much more money you get for your scrap metals than in the US. it really is a significant difference. I never realized how much good scrap there is in a dishwasher. My yard would not take piece with all that plastic on it. As usual a great video. Really look forward to them
Yesterday while heading out on an errand I passed a dishwasher set out for trash. It was able to fit in my Enclave. I spent this morning tearing it down after watching your video. Now I just have to get the copper out of the motors and strip some of the wires. I didn't weigh everything up but it looks similar to the numbers you published. Mine had a lot of plastic parts in the motors so I took out the copper bearing sections and will work on those to get the #2. One of the motors had a pretty good magnet for its rotor section. I need to punch out the shaft if I can.
40 percent refers to the amount of plastic coating there are on the wire. Some wire is coated then braided with other coated wires and then wrapped in one last coat of plastic to enclose the entire bunch. If it's like that then it's only 40% of copper to recover the other being 60% plastic waste. 60% is the other way around more copper than plastic.
I just want to stress the free. However, some dishwashers, like the one I just found did have a copper motor. It just goes to show that you never know what you will find.

are you taking his exchange rate into account. The Canadian dollar is less valuable that a US dollar.

Excellent tear down and explanation of all the ways to maximize that Scrap Cash!

Tin man!!! New subscriber here thanks for all you do! Great work man! Bless you and everybody you love❤
Thanks for watching. God bless you as well!
Note: this video was recorded a few weeks ago. Currently aluminum motors are MORE money now than tin so throw in aluminum motor pile NOT tin pile.
Good day James Yes good idea, my scrap yd. motors are.30/pd Thanks
#2 copper 1.1 lbs, tin 19 lbs., 8oz. brass, 2lbs 60 appliance wire
I like your enthusiasm but wouldn't it be exponentially faster with a 1/4 inch impact?
Oh yeah, but just going through the steps and it gives me some time to explain the pieces.
Good day Watching u tear wire off U said 40 or 60 % does thickness of wire matter to make 60 % I have some
wire very thin. Thanks

@@kalani4ever359 Thanks
yup, 40% is more than 1 coating of plastic on the wire

Nice video but you do seem to over-exaggerate the words "great amount".
