So you just need: -1,5 battery, -box cutter, -pair of pliers, -metal sheet cutters, -toiler cleaner with hydrochloric acid, -vise, -cordless drill -Philips bit size 2 and a Phillips head self drilling screw ( if you don't have a drill bit for some reason) -purple marker, -angle grinder with metal cutting disc and long M4 screw (if you don't have a taper for some reason), -screwdriver, -red marker, -pair of tweezers, -cotton wool, -blowing torch, -lighter, -solder wire, -toothpaste with abrasive, -buffing wheel for angle grinder, -sandpaper, -hammer, Probably the only think missing here is life insurance if you are going to actually use this hand brake lever, but i'm afraid they won't cover the damage if they find what was done to the lever ...
SERIOUSLY - Pretty damn close - the thin, sheet metal cylinders for exterior of the ("jettisoned") boosters of the Artemis Project rocket are being "friction- welded", rather than TIG, for Alum. alloy. The thin plates (~ 2mm) are "butt- joined", then 2 flat "pressure pins" of hard steel - each about 15mm (1/2 in) dia. apply pressure, from both sides, then friction - by rotating, at about 200- 300 rpm ( looks like "drill- press" speed ). The sheet metal is slowly fed, perfectly "butted", between the rotating pressure- pins.. - The result is what looks like a perfectly welded, flat sheet, behind the pins (no flux used) only circular marks, to mark the "seam". - It looks great, the pressure and rotation reach the melting pt. of the Alum. alloy - BUT - these welds have been failing occasionally - Engineers not sure why - so resulting in some serious delays... - My info is that this is not a "new" welding method - just not been used for rockets before.
Well atleast he invented his own soldering flux, a new method of drilling holes & he made is own improvised tap for the thread. Some poor people can atleast use these tech rather than buying expensive tools & accessories
@@Vortextech1850 I mean... he discovered tek screws.. lol Let's not get carried away. :) I like ingenuity just fine, but if your brake breaks when you need to brake, being broke will be the least of your issues..
so you think that this video was made so nasa could use this method do you? well your wrong, nasa actually uses this method already where do you think the science come from dumbass
Hello, nice to talk to you. I am very happy and look forward to receiving your support in the near future. Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas
Clever idea. A few suggestions on how to make it better. First, you left the bluing agent on the joint. It will contaminate the joint so get that off with acetone before brazing and you will get a much stronger joint. Brushing the Al around the crack to take off the oxide layer will also help. Second, while the steel screw trick was a clever way to tap the hole, steel should not be in direct contact with aluminum as it creates a battery of sorts and will corrode; search “galvanic corrosion”. Use an aluminum fastener if you can find one. Finally, there are aluminum brazing rods like Aluxcor that are intended for this purpose and work pretty well. Personally if I had to reuse the part I would tack it together with a tig welder, grind out a groove on both sides to ensure full penetration, tig weld it, grind and polish. A break lever is a safety item.

Very good advice. The only issue is where he's at in the world. Exotic brazing rods are next to impossible. I work 3000 miles from the nearest town and we don't have such luxuries. However this is not a bad idea if you look at the chemistry😂
@@inventorK20 There are not men that are NASA professors. though the organisation may have professors who work at NASA. You are not the bright spark . This is the most mishandled metallic cluster that can be presented. Your use of zinc to enable a bond of sorts between aluminium and solder is a creative thought. But tin and lead do not have the type of strength you need in that application. So you add a threaded bit of steel. You don't teach a professor who works at NASA a single solitary iota yet! more likely a professor who works a NASA tasked with solving this problem might return with an improved shape of the lever cast in 7077 alloy or 6061? Perhaps a billet of such exotic alloy you will be perplexed by the formula, which is then milled to within a rough tolerance around 0.0001" by CNC machinery, that he writes the code for would present a stronger item with no contamination or flaw that also is made to fit much better. If you really believe a native fellow will ride a worn out scooter from the jungles of Asia unable to remain upright on it then breaks the lever off and is subsequently overwhelmed by the prospect of obtaining a new bit from Japan for his 40 year old Honda will then arise to educate an aerospace engineer he calls professor that is a man involved in realities beyond your wildest nightmares, then you my fine feathered friend have got another cluck plucking. operating a camera and editing on the computer though? There may be a future for you in Star Wars alongside G.Lucas.
I used to work for NASA. We used this method on the Challenger Space Shuttle to hold the solid rocket boosters together. I don't work for NASA any more.
@@leetucker9938 It won't snap as it has the screw in the core and that strengthens it. But yes, totally waste of time and money for something what you can buy brand new at at least 1/3 of the cost to repair it. Unless you have nothing better to do... lol
This is just an exemplary project for one to expound upon. Common sense. And safety first. Thank you for the tip.

Nice fix… but I wouldn't trust it. If you pull the brakes to avoid crashing into a car and the lever breaks you may have saved money but you'll definitely end up in the hospital... or maybe worse!
Stripping alkaline batteries bare handed to weld brake levers together. Behaviour like that, I doubt this guy lived more than 6 minutes after making this video.
Growing up in the projects. We learned to do what it takes to fix stuff instead of running to the store for a new on all the rime. Although the tools he used may have been expensive (some of them) They could have been acquired over time. There's PROUD in repairing and knowing how to repair. So the simpler way may have been run out and buy another. There's peace of mind KNOWING you can fix it. IF need be. I say KUDOS!! To this guy!!! Great work!❤

@RandySeverino I don't think he spent much on that stuff. In those parts of the world people know how to help themselves. A neighbor even the man himself probably had this on hand in his home "shop." Maybe he doesn't have $7, and maybe Amazon doesn't deliver where he works. Think about it before you comment.
Clever method. Yes easier and cheaper to buy new but people just don't get his point. It is very handy to know skills like this. A lot more to it than people realise. Excellent improvisation. Making a tap out of a screw Using the battery to make a flux The end result is perfectly serviceable. Heating and hammering straight shows the strength of the joint. Thanks for the video - anyone who really knows engineering would find the processes used to be interesting.

It's because these people have been trained to be consuming sheep and everytime something breaks they buy a new one. If ever in a real emergency, everyone in this comments section would be begging this guy to help.😂
What's up with all the negative feedback. A fix like this has endless uses and can be applied to much more critical things than the break lever used for this demonstration. All you people running your mouths are the real waste of time. You sound like a bunch of idiots thinking your so smart.
Hello, I am very happy to receive your sharing. I look forward to receiving your support in the near future. Wishing you and your family a peaceful Christmas
The integrity of the fixed lever comes from the steel screw inside. Make it longer, much longer. Also drill larger diameter holes, because it is extremely difficult to place them 0.1mm precision to face each other. If the hole is larger you can fill it with epoxy, push a steel rod in it and align the parts snug, without gap. Also: this is not welding. Buy a new one, or just go to a shop where they use argon and really do weld.
Thank you for your advice, I tried making a video this way and had trouble soldering it, now I can complete part 2 of this task, thank you for sharing, good luck! Merry Christmas and keep supporting us. ❤️
No way I would put my brakes on that mend. First time you need to do an emergency stop the forces involved in the panicked grip will snap it at the repair...

The idea of the video is to demonstrate that you have options. In many parts of the world, it is often quite difficult to get parts. Especially if you live any distance from the nearest supply or order center, and the only vehicle that you have is the one that needs the part. It's kind of a "catch - 22" . It is an interesting learning video, especially for us "DIY-ers."

@@franciscomorales7012 that professor gave it a shot at micky mousin the lever back together, I would have failed off the ragged end and used two fingers. It's 50cc scooter not a space shuttle.
The ingenuity here is top level (he made his own tap and uses self-tapping screws as drill bits!), but: 1- I am a bit surprised to see ten fingers, considering the cavalier use of the angle grinder! 2- No "welding" took place here. The mechanical strength is in the insert he embedded in the handle. 3- Why dissolve the battery casing in drain cleaner to make a zinc solution in either acid or base (can't tell which) to clean the brake lever before soldering?
Hello, button batteries, phone batteries... often contain toxic elements such as cadmium, mercury... When rusted or punctured, these substances can leak out.

We will try to improve them in the next videos. Wishing you and your family all the luck. lucky lucky. lucky
Interestingly I believe that caustic soda also reacts with zinc although it's mentioned in error,, or is it ? I've often made up zinc chloride flux exactly from the battery casings which I always misplace cos I don't label my containers , it's a great flux for stainless steel too. It don't work as a useful flux for aluminium though. But I ain't tried the solution of zinc in caustic soda as a flux .
Joining two broken metal pieces by own effort, with minimum items, is wonderful creative idea. Keep posting such bits. ThanQ SASIKUMAR . From Kerala (INDIA).

It's nice to see how you can extend the life of things. The throwaway society is a thing of the past for many reasons and has not shaped good characters either.

And now the question remains: How much force can it handle before it breaks? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a brake handle that is very likely to break off again.
Not defending this "repair" because it's absolute garbage... But sneeze on those things and they snap. They're jelly bean parts anyway, his repair probably cost more to do than to just get a new one.

This is a good demo of a rework. While appreciating the efforts it is difficult for a normal person with limited tools and no brazing equipment.The above work can be attempted if the part is not available in the market. Otherwise replacement is the best option.

I think this is a useful skill that can be applied to many repairs. I don't always have the time (or patience) to wait for a new part from Amazon. I am a great believer in fixing and re-purposing things. Our world is getting too disposable for my taste. I've learned how to plastic weld, solder, etc. Thank you for this video. In my opinion, I think this is fixed very well and strong enough to hold up until the bike itself is no longer running. In that case, I'll expect a video from you about building a new motor out of bamboo. Thanks!

I agree with other commenters that this is probably unsafe. You should replace the part if you can. That said, just wanted to correct the video title: this is soldering, not welding. The use of the zinc solution creates a flux compatible with aluminum.
Never heard of aluminium brakes but apparently it's a brake lever, something your life depends upon, so it's vital to have a reliable one, not a repaired one.

Only moved the costs around. Still had to buy a battery, toilet bowl cleaner, bolt and solder with the only structural part of the repair being the bolt. The solder and homemade flux was just basically filler and faring compound. Personally I just get very cheap low temperature aluminum brazing rods for these repairs which work with the same torch and result in a stronger than steel repair. Somethings are worth pursuing in real life while others are simply entertainment. Best!
@@franciscomorales7012 I worked on projects involving the Shuttle and it wasn't NASA but a SubContractor who messed up QC on the specs. NASA knows metallurgy and the correct flux to use for the best results so would not resort to a questionable and inconsistent flux made by snipping up already compromised alkaline batteries. They would have top notch welders and machinists doing these repairs to impeccable standards that most today still not able match what was done by them over 50 years ago, even with modern computer technology. Best!

Best tip I can give anyone new to riding, or especially on the dirt. Loosen of your clutch and brake leavers clamps, this allows the lever to fold up or under. Pick up the bike and just tap it back.

While this was clever, I’m not sure I’d repair a brake lever, or at least, not by brazing. Not sure what metal you used for the threaded insert, but it needs to be from the same family as the light alloy used in the lever. Dissimilar metals react with each other, causing galvanic corrosion, so your lever will gradually weaken from the inside, where you can’t see it. Could you please explain the use of the battery? What is the chemical you used and why did you need the strips of metal from the battery? It obviously resulted in a brazing flux, of some sort, but would genuine flux not be cheaper and easier than whatever that was? Or is that something different? Thanks for the video, though. Lots of useful tricks there, for non safety related repairs or for artistic metal work.

Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas, you can learn from here: th-cam.com/video/vjx-foc4vws/w-d-xo.html
galvanic corrosion needs an electrolyte in-between the metals i think to happen. in this case there's no electrolyte in-between(rain for example) and the electrolyte can only contact the aluminum so i don't think there will be a reaction. perhaps a chemist or experimentalist could chime in.
I think if you have a broken brake lever, you should take your car to a repair shop to replace it with a new one. It's fast and safe. Doing it like a video clip is too elaborate, time-consuming, and costs more materials than it would cost for you to replace it with a new one.

My advice to you is to replace that brake lever before you use the bike again.Hydrochloric acid , over time vastly depletes the inherent strength of cast aluminium, which is what the lever is made of. It's a great method to use ON OTHER, NON-CRUCIAL COMPONENTS.

Closest is that it seems like Tesla used these methods to build the cybertruck. At least from the look of the things.
SERIOUSLY - Pretty damn close - the thin, sheet metal cylinders for exterior of the ("jettisoned") boosters of the Artemis Project rocket are being "friction- welded", rather than TIG, for Alum. alloy.
The thin plates (~ 2mm) are "butt- joined", then 2 flat "pressure pins" of hard steel - each about 15mm (1/2 in) dia. apply pressure, from both sides, then friction - by rotating, at about 200- 300 rpm ( looks like "drill- press" speed ). The sheet metal is slowly fed, perfectly "butted", between the rotating pressure- pins..
- The result is what looks like a perfectly welded, flat sheet, behind the pins (no flux used) only circular marks, to mark the "seam".
- It looks great, the pressure and rotation reach the melting pt. of the Alum. alloy - BUT - these welds have been failing occasionally - Engineers not sure why - so resulting in some serious delays...
- My info is that this is not a "new" welding method - just not been used for rockets before.
i dont know, their budget cant even stretch to fake moon landings these days

That is a clever repair. However, if that is a brake actuator, it would be more prudent to replace the part rather than risk failure of the repair.

Anything goes in china
Much like welding, the repair is likely stronger than the part in it's original form.
Yep. BUYYY a NEW handle bro ! Come on now. Trying to save a piece of cheap aluminium . . . gosh 🙄🤕
Clever idea. A few suggestions on how to make it better. First, you left the bluing agent on the joint. It will contaminate the joint so get that off with acetone before brazing and you will get a much stronger joint. Brushing the Al around the crack to take off the oxide layer will also help. Second, while the steel screw trick was a clever way to tap the hole, steel should not be in direct contact with aluminum as it creates a battery of sorts and will corrode; search “galvanic corrosion”. Use an aluminum fastener if you can find one. Finally, there are aluminum brazing rods like Aluxcor that are intended for this purpose and work pretty well.
Personally if I had to reuse the part I would tack it together with a tig welder, grind out a groove on both sides to ensure full penetration, tig weld it, grind and polish. A break lever is a safety item.

Very good advice. The only issue is where he's at in the world. Exotic brazing rods are next to impossible. I work 3000 miles from the nearest town and we don't have such luxuries. However this is not a bad idea if you look at the chemistry😂

@@inventorK20 There are not men that are NASA professors. though the organisation may have professors who work at NASA.
You are not the bright spark . This is the most mishandled metallic cluster that can be presented. Your use of zinc to
enable a bond of sorts between aluminium and solder is a creative thought. But tin and lead do not have the type of strength you need in that application. So you add a threaded bit of steel. You don't teach a professor who works at NASA a single solitary iota yet! more likely a professor who works a NASA tasked with solving this problem might return with an improved shape of the lever cast in 7077 alloy or 6061? Perhaps a billet of such exotic alloy you will be perplexed by the formula, which is then milled to within a rough tolerance around 0.0001" by CNC machinery, that he writes the code for would present a stronger item with no contamination or flaw that also is made to fit much better. If you really believe a native fellow will ride a worn out scooter from the jungles of Asia unable to remain upright on it then breaks the lever off and is subsequently overwhelmed by the prospect of obtaining a new bit from Japan for his 40 year old Honda will then arise to educate an aerospace engineer he calls professor that is a man involved in realities beyond your wildest nightmares, then you my fine feathered friend have got another cluck plucking. operating a camera and editing on the computer though?

The integrity of the fixed lever comes from the steel screw inside. Make it longer, much longer. Also drill larger diameter holes, because it is extremely difficult to place them 0.1mm precision to face each other. If the hole is larger you can fill it with epoxy, push a steel rod in it and align the parts snug, without gap.
Also: this is not welding.
Buy a new one, or just go to a shop where they use argon and really do weld.

Guaranteed to break the first time you seriously need to brake. I think the rider's life is worth more than a $15 part.

The weld is likely stronger than the original Chinese oem pos part.
The idea of the video is to demonstrate that you have options. In many parts of the world, it is often quite difficult to get parts. Especially if you live any distance from the nearest supply or order center, and the only vehicle that you have is the one that needs the part. It's kind of a "catch - 22" . It is an interesting learning video, especially for us "DIY-ers."

@@martydibergi5228 Yes the orange marmalade.
The ingenuity here is top level (he made his own tap and uses self-tapping screws as drill bits!), but:
1- I am a bit surprised to see ten fingers, considering the cavalier use of the angle grinder!
2- No "welding" took place here. The mechanical strength is in the insert he embedded in the handle.
3- Why dissolve the battery casing in drain cleaner to make a zinc solution in either acid or base (can't tell which) to clean the brake lever before soldering?
Hello, button batteries, phone batteries... often contain toxic elements such as cadmium, mercury... When rusted or punctured, these substances can leak out. Furthermore, when we go to work, we still lack insurance for ourselves. I'm glad you gave me useful suggestions, especially regarding your own health and that of everyone else. We will try to improve them in the next videos. Wishing you and your family all the luck. lucky lucky. lucky
The liquid mixed with the zinc was hydrochloric acid drain cleaner. That makes zinc chloride, which is used as solder flux.
Not easy
Interestingly I believe that caustic soda also reacts with zinc although it's mentioned in error,, or is it ? I've often made up zinc chloride flux exactly from the battery casings which I always misplace cos I don't label my containers , it's a great flux for stainless steel too. It don't work as a useful flux for aluminium though. But I ain't tried the solution of zinc in caustic soda as a flux .

I agree with other commenters that this is probably unsafe. You should replace the part if you can.
That said, just wanted to correct the video title: this is soldering, not welding. The use of the zinc solution creates a flux compatible with aluminum.
Better to replace it with a steel or titanium part. Brakes are really important.

Only moved the costs around. Still had to buy a battery, toilet bowl cleaner, bolt and solder with the only structural part of the repair being the bolt. The solder and homemade flux was just basically filler and faring compound. Personally I just get very cheap low temperature aluminum brazing rods for these repairs which work with the same torch and result in a stronger than steel repair.

Except under heavy braking the lever will fold upwards losing braking effect. Crash.
that is difficult to do if there are locator pins. I agree that you should leave the perch loose on the handle bar so it can have a chance to possibly avoid breaking in a tip over if I can float Instead of being rigidly clamped
If you also loosen your wheel nuts it will be safer

Not sure what metal you used for the threaded insert, but it needs to be from the same family as the light alloy used in the lever. Dissimilar metals react with each other, causing galvanic corrosion, so your lever will gradually weaken from the inside, where you can’t see it.
Could you please explain the use of the battery? What is the chemical you used and why did you need the strips of metal from the battery? It obviously resulted in a brazing flux, of some sort, but would genuine flux not be cheaper and easier than whatever that was? Or is that something different?
Thanks for the video, though. Lots of useful tricks there, for non safety related repairs or for artistic metal work.
Hello, thank you very much for sharing with us, you are a good teacher, you have given me a lot of knowledge, you are worthy of our respect, we look forward to receiving your support yours in the near future. Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas, you can learn from here: th-cam.com/video/vjx-foc4vws/w-d-xo.html
galvanic corrosion needs an electrolyte in-between the metals i think to happen. in this case there's no electrolyte in-between(rain for example) and the electrolyte can only contact the aluminum so i don't think there will be a reaction. perhaps a chemist or experimentalist could chime in.
I think if you have a broken brake lever, you should take your car to a repair shop to replace it with a new one. It's fast and safe. Doing it like a video clip is too elaborate, time-consuming, and costs more materials than it would cost for you to replace it with a new one.
Unless you have an antique motorcycle with unobtainable parts
Your videos are really interesting!

Always a way to fix something rather than throw it away being doing it myself for years.👍
Hello, thank you very much for sharing your nice comments with us. I am very happy and look forward to receiving your support in the near future. Wishing you and your family a peaceful Christmas.
Gluing a broken off break lever is the dumpist thing i ever seen in my life!
Just the satisfaction of repairing something is better than buying new part..Modern technicians nolonger waste time on repairs...the labour costs are sometimes more than a new part...
@@inventorK20Happy Hanukah. Out here on the perimeter . We use the short lever and throw that other bit in the scrub.
Сверлить отверстия шуропом и нарезать резьбу винтом, это шедевр 😂😂😂
а потом на алиэкспрес продать
After watching this video , i am planning to buy new break lever
Hello, nice to chat with you, thank you for your interest and sharing, my good friend, have a nice day💖 💖 💖
I am NASA professor and I approve this message
So, this guy claims rocket scientists contacted him, asking for solutions to metallurgy problems at NASA!! I had a good laugh at that one!
At 5:22 note that the zinc pieces from the 1.5v battery were not used in the failed soldering attempt .
Nice video. can you explain the flux portion? what was the toilet bowl cleaner mostly made from? also the battery shell?
Hello, thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts with us. I'm very happy. Thanks a lot. The battery I used to get zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to create a solution in the form of a flux. I look forward to receiving your support in the near future. Wishing you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas. happiness
My advice to you is to replace that brake lever before you use the bike again.Hydrochloric acid , over time vastly depletes the inherent strength of cast aluminium, which is what the lever is made of. It's a great method to use ON OTHER, NON-CRUCIAL COMPONENTS.
The experts, who never do anything except scratch their arses, are in the comments... Great Video my Friend

Hello and have a nice day. I am very happy to hear your positive comments. It keeps me motivated to do my job well. Nice to meet you. We look forward to receiving your support in the future, dear friends, wishing you and your family good health and happiness.
I started repairing brake levers just like this. Soon I was doing it as a job. It only takes about 4.5 hours for each one and I was able to charge $15 dollars for each one I repaired.
Hello, thank you for sharing, have a nice day
What happens when electrolysis starts to occur between the ferrous and nonferrous metals of steel and aluminium?
Hello, it's nice to chat with you, thank you for sharing with us, we look forward to receiving your support in the near future, wishing you and your family a happy and peaceful Christmas.
Hope that you've sold the bike by then.
It's a brake lever, he won't live that long.
Appreciate the hard work, you truly believe in repairing rather than use and throw

Nhiều công đoạn, thời gian và dụng cụ quá, mua mịa cái mới cho nhanh và rẻ
Hello, thank you very much for the information you have brought us, have a nice day
А я дурак приварил аргонной сваркой за 5 минут! Нужно было тоже день потратить, помучиться 😄
Too much work. Then I buy a new brake lever. Simply exchange. And I still have enough time for other things 😊
Hello, nice to chat with you. We look forward to receiving your support in the near future. We wish you and your family a peaceful and happy Christmas.
@@inventorK20 Thank you too, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎅
@daniel - like dating?
That was fun, and I do have experience welding steel, brazing, soldering, and grinding and polishing, but I am lost on why you cut up the battery? Is there some kind of metal in it you can not get at welding rod supply?
Пять минут это недоделанное создание занималось черти чем. А потом выяснилось, что у него есть припой по аллюминию.
Это ШЕДЕВР!

@@inventorK20 You did not understand. It was sarcasm, but in fact you were called an unfinished creature, the Russians have an offensive expression. I don't share his point of view and I liked the video
@@hudojnyck2117я с вами согласен, что так мягко говоря- некрасиво
The next day, the part broke an inch further down and it was thrown in the bin.
Also that hand brake is much more sturdy, stronger now than the original
You are a straight up genius...for your marketing techniques
Thank you
This video the reason we need the dislike counter back
FENOMENAL E SEU VÍDEO É TAMBÉM UMA AULA ,,E UM BELO APRENDIZADO ,,,PARABÉNS JAÚ SP BRAZIL 😊
Hello, nice to chat with you again, my good friend, what work are you doing now, do you like it? I really like the work I do, because it gives me the opportunity to meet people, learn extremely valuable knowledge so I can improve myself and wish you and your family good health.
Sim, fenomenal, ele gastou uns 500R$ em peças e equipamentos pra fazer o reparo de uma manete de freio que custa menos de 5R$ nova...
Or, stay with me on this, you could go purchase a $9 brake handle from your local dealer. Unless you prefer going around your ass to get to your elbow.
It was beautiful. Don't know about practicality but it was beautiful.
Hello, nice to chat with you, Indeed! Beauty is sometimes important, but practicality is equally necessary. Hope it can meet both. Thank you for your interest and sharing, wish you a good day

Надеюсь ты шутить
Лайк за энтузиазм!👍
там сварка нужна, а не пайка.
If it takes three hours of your time you may as well got to work and earn £45 then just buy a lever from e Bay for £10
