I like to listen to music while scrapping stuff thrown out at work. Specimen lockboxes, patient draw chairs, and the most fun are centrifuges. Thanks for showing how to micro scrap.
Me too. I love hanging out in the shop with music on and scrapping whatever I can find. Centrifuge sounds like it would be fun to scrap! Thank you for watching.
Agreed, I was a big Video game player and after Finding God, I realized it was a horrible past time. I still play just not as much. I actually prefer to spend the time in my Garage, tearing things apart.
Always fun to collect the tidbits. Scrapped out an old battery charger yesterday, winding was unfortunately aluminum, but the brass and copper that was hidden in the switches and such was amazing. Always do the scratch test when unsure. God bless you. (I turned 47 today)
It certainly is fun. Bummer it was aluminum, seems to be a 50/50 chance nowadays. Happy birthday my brother in Christ. I pray you have a good day and that God will bless your next year of life. You are in my prayers and thoughts often.
I am a micro scrapper too. I live in an area where the closest scrap yard is a two hour drive. So I have a lot of time between trips, sometimes 4-6 months. My yard calle all the wire you show #2 windings. They pay a bit les than straight #2. Buy when pulling from transformers and motors I do not have to remove all the tape and strings. On the torrids, you smash them in a vice, that is too much work. Sometimes I do 100 at a time. Just put them, on the round side, on your work bench and hit with a hammer. Most will smash with one good hit. I have been tossing all receptacles and light switches. I didn't know a well placed hit with a claw hammer would open them. I knew there was brass inside but I thought it would be too much work to get them open. Thanks
I too live far from my scrap yard and I like to maximize my the value by scrapping it all lol. Plus it’s quite fun. That’s nice you don’t have to worry about the tape and string, that saves a lot of time. Yeah it’s not much brass, but cracking them open with the hammer has been working really well for me. Thank you for watching.
Always fun micro scrapping to get more out of your scrap metal make more money it all adds up buddy! Did not know there was copper in them black things there a lot of them in tvs I take apart. I do a lot of them microwave motors you get from the bottom of the microwave that spin the plate I set and unspin them copper nuggets lol another great video my friend!
Yes, I get lots of them. But on a circuit board there is another component with even more copper. It is a relay. A small black plastic box right next to the torrid that scrapitall smashed in his vice. It turns on/off the torrid which is a type of transformer. Smash it open, it has a plastic shell and you will see a spool of copper wire and also a few pieces of copper switches.
Loving your Videos, I am also scrap for the hobby. I street scrap on the weekends and tear apart during the week after work. I LOVE that you pray at the end of every Video. That is so awesome. Keep them coming. Actually kicking my self now as I found an entire Panel box with breakers a few weeks ago. I took the breakers out and got the copper Back Plane, but just threw the Breakers in with my shred. Will not do that again. Keep them coming.
I usually just take a hammer to the circuit breakers, using a towel or thick canvas to cover them so the Bakelite shards don't go flying. I do the same sometimes with the plug sockets and light switches. Much easier than drilling out the rivets. I haven't found any end buyers for the silver contacts, as many of them are mixed with hazardous materials, so refining them is apparently harder...the established precious metals buyers here won't take them.
I normally stick a flathead screw driver in them and break them apart but I figured I’d show the drilling method lol. Yeah I haven’t found any good source of dealing with them either. I’ll probably hold onto them for awhile in the hopes I find something to do with them. Thank you for watching buddy.
I completely ignore those tiny little spots that are silver. It would take many hundreds to be an ounce. Scrap yards will not buy them anyway. I can go to a yard sale and pick up a small sterling spoon for $1 and have more silver.
Not to be a buzz kill but you may want to check the piece you called the "big copper donut" I just scrapped my first microwave and checked everything with a file. I had one that looked just like that. I was excited by the weight of it but when I took the file to it I scratched off the copper color coating, it was aluminum underneath. 😢
If you ever come across a computer controlled EGR Valve off of a car engine, you will be surprised how much copper is inside it. As it has a motor on top of the valve which the computer controls how much exhaust gas to recirculate into the intake.
How are your gloves so clean. Every time it looks like you have a new pair on!hahahahah… I need to try them. My gloves are torn burnt and two left handed 😂
How did I never know those small round black things had copper in them? What do you end up doing with the gold pins? Lack of me knowing means they have been going into tin pile.
@@scrapitall200 ok that makes sense. II know at least they store their energy in a magnetic field where capacitors store energy in an electrical field. That’s the extent of my knowledge 😆. Thanks so much for your help!
hey SiA! Thank you for the video, today i have 2 questions. First, what is the name of the tool that u use to cut the gold pins? and second: how can i identify these copper containers on boards, as i heard they can contain aluminium liquid too? looking forward to your answers, have a good time.
Hello! They are called flush cutters or flush side cutters. They are specifically designed for circuit board. I’m not entirely sure what you mean by “copper container” any way you can send me a picture of what you’re talking about through email? Scrapitall878@gmail.com Thank you for watching.
@@scrapitall200 by coper container i mean these little black cylinders where you got these small amounts of copper. At 5:41 e.g. Anyway thank you for your patient answers.
@@saschakonze6867 if I’m getting this correct you’re talking about capacitors ahd the outer case is aluminum but inside there is non metal stuff inside. Most scrap yards won’t even pay dirty aluminum prices for them, so I toss them in my steel shred pile. Hope this answered your question!
Hello, my friend! Do you find it better just to sell the circuit breakers as is or is it better to break it down? An update on my nephew: He has taken a turn for the worse and it appears it is just a matter of time before he passes. God Bless!
