- Its been nearly 2 years since my last can melt so I thought why not do one today. Melting cans is such a slow process so I thought I might as well mirror the bar up nicely. Not a lot to add to the stack today but a welcome addition none the less. Sit back take a break and I hope you enjoy todays video. Have an awesome weekend and hope to see you all next Friday for another melt.

HOW TO MIRROR FINISH A BAR
I start with an 80 grit flap disc on my angle grinder then I use my drill with 50 mm round sanding discs . I start with 150 grit then go through the following Grits 240-400-800 Then once I get to the following Grits I use a small squirt of WD-40 1200-1500-2000-2500-3000. The WD40 helps to lubricate the discs and stops the sanding disk binding up with the metal powder . Then after that I use my buffer wheel on my bench grinder to get a perfect mirrored finish on it.

Massive Can Meltdown - Pure Aluminum From Cans - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD - บันเทิง
Fun Fact about aluminum cans: They have a thin plastic coating on the inside to avoid the soda reacting with the aluminum and giving the soda a metallic taste.
Fun fact about aluminum it oxidizes in air to get a layer of aluminum oxide most of his dross is aluminum oxide which melts at a higher temperature than metallic aluminum.
660 C for aluminum 2000 C for oxide of aluminum to recover all of the aluminum he would need to heat to 2000C
Fun fact about the chemical that makes that plastic coating, when it's in liquid form it's such a volatile chemical that it can ignite just by friction in the air.
How are any of these amazing facts fun.
Seems like a trap to make learning fun.
But learning is fun.

Hi, you had a high lost of aluminum due to the slag formation. You can decrease it by burning the cans before melting. The objective is to take out lacquer and paint of the publicity. This is going to increase the recovery of aluminum.
Does adding a bit of paint stripper and shaking em around work?
@@bobbadobidob9624 Not adding more paint. You need literally burning the cans with a flame, but no melting. This take out the paint outside the can and the lacker inside.
@@MetalurgiaMexico what about the pain inside?
@@D1GItAL_CVTS The lacker or paint inside the can is burned too. It is not going to dissapear completely, but its quantity is lower and then the lost aluminum too.

This man has duff beer and nobody noticed
So in Sweden (and many European countries) you can recycle the cans for 1kr a piece, which means those 250 cans would be worth about 24 USD, but when you melted it down to raw aluminium, it's now worth about 4,34 dollars for the 2,25kg you collected. Huge loss, but if you just like melting stuff and make youtube videos about it, it definitely adds value! :D
Same in Canada, 10 cents per can. Total would be $25 CAD for 250 cans.
Some US states are the same, but it varies. .05, .10, or nothing per can.
Unfortunately scrap metal prices have come down so much that throwing them in the recycling bin in a non-can fee location is the only thing that makes sense.
Used to be decent money in scrap aluminum, enough that it was worth saving it until you could turn it in to a salvage place yourself.
Melting things however, is always fun.
But think about how much money he will now get from the TH-cam video. Much more that 24 bucks
@@lethalhemorrhoid3286 that's exactly what i wrote :)
In Germany it is 62.50 euro
This guy is living the life most men want: eating burritos, melting things in his garage with a freezer full of beer and soda.
Probabaly the coolest video I see in a long time.
Fun fact: in my state, you get 5 cents back on each can when you recycle them. It's very amusing to me that the redemption value on those 250 cans is $12.50 while the actual material price is less than eight bucks.
So where I live it's 10 cents per can return, but you pay that 10 cents at the point of purchase they call it a "bottle deposit" and you get that "deposit" back if you return the cans or bottles to the depot. I don't think it's tied to the literal weight value of the recyclable product, it's just a forced incentive to get people to stop throwing them in the trash, or melting them into bars... I bet it's probably the same in your area.
In Germany his "Dosenpfand" would have made 62,5€ from these 250 cans
Collect cans, recycle for small amount of money, buy aluminum, turn aluminum into more cans. Infinite money.
or the better way to look at it .. recycle the can thats 1 ton of rock that doesnt have to be dug for that 10 pounds of aluminium ore to make into cans ... at 125,000 bucks an hour for labour and machinery and transport etc ...
@@0623kaboom It helps that aluminum is one of the most easily recycled metals there is. Most of the energy to produce the aluminum in the first place has already been expended, so recycling it makes it much cheaper than making it new.
This dude seems like an absolute lad. 10/10 would watch more can melting
Isn't the spelling - ALUMINIUM???
Not NUM
The spelling depends whether if it's American or British english. Hence, aluminum and aluminium are acceptable.

IRON MAN
All I can think of is that making a magazine system for this as storage for the cans would be great. Store the empty cans in a magazine and just attach it to the crusher so you don’t have to manually insert them, gravity feed it
I was thinking about how In first grade a guy came with truck loads of these and we crushed them for him. I have a vague memory that we were told it was for charity but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a lie. Might be more efficient to enlist the services of a first grade class haha
Yeah, a hopper type system would probably suit him!
Probably used about £30 of gas to make £6 of metal
I don't know how much that translates to USD but i thought the same thing! Not very efficient... cool hobby i guess..@adrianridgway4333

So this on a small scale isn't profitable. But on an industrial scale recovering 70% or more solid metal from the recycled waste; would make sense.
Several tons of Aluminum would be profitable.
He's got a shelf that he stacks all of his bars on. And a goal weight that once reached he cashes in. He's not tinkering around that's for sure! I forgot to mention that it's primarily other metals he's often melting
What are the operating costs at a small scale like this ?
@@johnprater3981 after the initial cost of the equipment, which he already had, it’s just the cost of the propane needed to melt the cans down
It depends on how you sell it also. Scrap value is the obvious easy choice to do but pays the least amount. The price of metal is constantly going up and down so it's hard to plan around stuff like that. Making the big bars like he is doing here you can sell them as blanks to sculptures, or different manufacturing facility's and get more then scrap for them. All depends on how creative one can be really!
If I understand this correctly that CAD stands for Canadian It does not seem profitable at all to melt them down yourself. Considering at least where I am it is .10 cents per can returned to a bottle depot which would net $25.00 CAD. But then we would not be getting these types of videos :)
I was hooked to this channel since I watched the first video that appeared on my TH-cam: A big motor melt at the old house. I love copper pouring, it's my favorite. I also love not hearing any human voice, so quiet, so amazing 😍 Great channel.
Lol the classic setting up of the camera to show things like grabbing keys, opening doors, etc.
That's the love put into the video
At 13 million views, this would have to be the most profitable disposal of cans I've ever seen!
18 million now
...what if I told you him that if it weren't for ads and sponsoring, him desintegrating those cans for raw material actually makes him _LOSE_ a lot of money? No, jokes aside:
The cost of labor, material, equipment and energy is leaving him at a net loss.
This type of video is purely entertainment.
@@TheDendran That's what I was getting at. The profit is from ad revenue, not the cans themselves.
@@InoFughaul Also profit is per like 1000 views as well not just ads.
@@mr.stirfry9310 I'm fairly certain at 10c per can the profit from sending them in to the recycling ($25) is better than aluminium blocks but its not about profit now is it.

Worked in a foundry once when I was 17. Boss brought out a steel “pig” and told me to pour my first bucket of aluminum into that because the owner wanted to cut down on imperfections in the vehicle parts we were casting. No one knew to make sure to put that near the crucible and when I began pouring my metal into that damn thing the aluminum started bubbling up around the edges of the pig. Luckily I sensed something was wrong when the aluminum bubbles started coalescing into one big bubble. I told my coworkers to get back and a second later POP! all that metal went about 20 feet up and came back down on the crucible operator’s back. Sadly he was the only one not wearing any protective gear. I was told later that at the hospital, it took a very long time to pick all that aluminum out of his back…..some dangerous stuff if not done correctly
Yeah, need to heat the vessel that you're gonna cast it to in order to avoid explosions. Happened in BigStackD's videos multiple times but nothing serious due to the amounts that he pours per mold. Hope your colleague didn't suffer any permanent health conditions from that explosion. Also need to pour it gently so you allow air to escape and not form pockets
@@justjoe5373 👍
Pre heating is a way of making sure that there are no violent reactions between the surface molecules of the two different substances.

@@justjoe5373 he ended up returning to work a few months later. Soon after that I moved away and left that death trap. This happened 15 years ago and I really believe most people who worked there ended up with health problems from all the hazardous chemicals used in the foundry, chrome shop and polishing shop. The place was called Street&Performance. They’ve since been shut down

You should never wash your car while the sun is out - for everyone out there. Always wash your car in the shade. Because water drops create lens, and they work like a magnifying glass, and burn the paint. If you do this on regular basis, the paint will fade quicker.
Thanks for the tip 👍🏼
Always wash off bird poop! A coworker had a red truck and didn't wash off bird poop over the summer. Messed up the clear coat badly!
That's an interesting suggestion! Using salt flux for separating aluminum and dross seems like a viable method to remove impurities from the molten metal. It's intriguing to see how different techniques can enhance the purification process. 🧂🔥🔄 I wonder if this approach could be further optimized for large-scale aluminum recycling, especially considering the high impurity levels in cans. It's great to explore innovative ways to turn trash into treasure!

that shine at the end so worth it...can't believe it came from all those al cans.
If I had that stash I'd honestly just spend all day click-clacking all the metal together haha. It's such a satisfying sound.
You should try using salt flux for separating the aluminum and dross. The slag you keep remelting is impurities stuck to the aluminum. Salt flux will separate it when mixed and stirred into the molten metal and then dross will be on the top of the pot(usually shiny black with very little pearls of aluminum beads). Cans are very dirty as far as what clean aluminum is considered.
Can you provide me with an explanation to why salt can separate the 2, anything you know, maybe a chemical reaction equation
@@Taratouille. Google
@@Mr_ButtBuster huh , whats that, never heard of it
I give u better one, where to get the salt. In my place, im always struggling to find that salt to seperate the dross
Thanks for the entertaining video.
Fun fact: here in Germany 250 empty aluminium cans are worth 62,50€ (AUD $91,23) if you bring them back to a store to claim the deposit. So a similar video wouldn't work here 😅
Doesnt work here in Western Australia either. You get a 10c deposit back when you take them in. I (like Big Stacked) live in WA, but I also melt all my cans. No fun in taking them for recycling. I dont bother crushing them and I feed them in through the vent hole
Wait , did I misunderstand? The actual cans are worth more than the melted aluminum ?
@@arturomorales966 In Germany you pay an extra fee to buy things in glass/metal/plastic bottles and get the money back if you return them. It encourages recycling and sometimes they are refilled then sold again.
The same thing happens for shopping carts. You put a coin into the lock to unlock it and get the coin back when you return it. Kids (and me) like to return abandoned shopping carts for extra money.
So for U.S.A it would be 91 american money it would be 91.00
A mesmerizing mirror sheen. Nice work, I guess. The cans have a not so thin resin layer in the inside of them, so the recovery is probably much more efficient, than it seem to be.
I love getting random recommendations like this. That was cool to watch and i even learned a thing or two. The polishing part was my favorite!

It is strangely relaxing to watch him at work, only another couple of years to get to the 1 tonne target, I'll be lost if he just quits when he gets there, like you I got here just after the 400kg mark, I always get the urge to want to melt some metal after watching him.

I was wondering "How much is that worth?" - and in the end, about $10. In Canada, we get 10 cents deposit per can, so you melted down $25.00 worth of cans to get $10. Think I'll just stick with taking the cans in to the depot. But, I did watch and enjoy the whole video.
Tbh him being a youtuber him melting all those cans and getting close to 7million views he made much more than $10 as revenue would be a couple thousand just for this video. But yea for the average person it's best to take to the depot. :)
I was just saying that, 14,800-22,200 in revenue at the time I watched this.
I'd rather have the aluminum at this point in the global economy
even at .05 per can where I'm from. I did the math and the came here to comment but I found your comment.
But he's making serious money from this video, clicks and ad revenue are very real. I bet he made at least several times more from this one video than I'd make in a year if I could find a job (I'm in Eastern Europe)

I can see GREAT values in someone with this skill: patience, carefull, mind strengh, decided, smart, and much more! congratulations!
Fun fact: you can pinpoint the day/time frame the video was made using the Forex rates at the end
Something about watching people clean slag out is so therapeutic. like I don’t know why but I enjoy seeing it. And the remelting slag 👌🏻
Are you from the US ? In the UK a slag is slang for a whore or easy woman who gives it out easily ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this video, very entertainment.
Fun fact about these cans: They have a lip on the bottom that you can use as a lever to open a new one when you're finished with one. It works pretty well on beer (At least for me it does)
I really like the way you do things.
Out of curiosity: How long can you run your furnace on full blast with one of those gas cans?
An amount of time long enough to burn down 3 orphanages. I can say that as an experienced arsonist.
Well I know a 5 gallon 20lb cylinder full of propane has enough propane compressed, that if it was realeased on a totally windless day it would cover an entire football field 1 foot deep with propane!
Btw anyone remember pink guy the legend?
@@NeroSonOfVergil101 you can burn down 3 orphanages with tiny ammounts of fire
@Check my about page link no, go away loser
Am I the only one confused on why his "big snack" was hidden in a bucket of rocks lmao
Been scrolling for 10 mins to see if someone else noticed that

Holy cow nice stockpile, thats smart metal will always have value even if the dollar fails
for everyone saying it has plastic on the inside, so it's bad, it's actually not, aluminum with high percentage is way stronger and was more resistant to thermal expansion, that's why they use Hypereutectic pistons with high silicone percentage (more than 13 %) in most modern engines.
That compactor design is just amazing! My favorite part of that device is you have an ejection hole so that the cans drop into the bin once crushed!
It's a good design, I wonder if it would be possible to add a feed hopper that could be loaded up with cans?
@@peterjf7723 In theory, yes. However in practice it may not be a good idea because of jams both in the inlet and the outlet of the smasher
@@peterjf7723 I was thinking the same thing, add a couple of rails and a hopper and you could load that crusher like a machine gun ;-)
What no stamping the ingot today 🤣 shame on you! Gotta love the can melts though. It’s a big pain so I’m right there with ya 👍🏻
I just take cans to the scrap yard and use the money for propane. A good source for free aluminum is office park suite demo jobs. Talk to the GC on the jobsite. Framing, ceiling grid, cable tray, data racks are all made from aluminum. The more you take the less dumpsters they have to pay for.
hehehe no but still 72 % recover and great bars hehe ;)
From what i understand, according to a recycler, the lids are a different type of a aluminum and requires alot morenprocessing to render the aluminum out of it, thats why they pay more if you take the lids off. They take the lids but for a lower price.
A friend just melts it all down when hes doing other work and seperates it then as he says they pay even more then, and he makes up for the propane used.
2:25 Design a gravity-fed can magazine to interface with the top of that machine and you could just drop ‘em in as fast as your little fingers could go.
Dunno if I’m articulating my idea well.
Like the magazines on the old hand-cranked Gatling guns. Single-stack deals.
His Minecraft chest looking stacked 25:25
Do any of your neighbors ever come by while you're doing this and just hang out?
25:14 That's such an amazing collection. 😲
That's like a loot haven from Skyrim ughhh haha
@@alanrushlow9715 right! Ingots are such cool and satisfying objects
he better be careful or might have to fight off a dragon....
@@MrOnetedify by this point he is the dragon hoarding all that metal
Quite an apocalypse collection.
Metal hoarder gotta be my favourite type of hoarder, man's actually a dragon or something.
Love the crushing machine.
There is just something so cathartic about watch stuff melt. As a hobbyist candle maker, I can relate.
Real oonga boonga energy, I 100% agree
2am with nothing better to do, might as well see some casting. I always like how you polish the bars, makes it look the part
The unexpected vault full of metal bars was the cherry on top
23:34 Nice shirt dude!
When you melted the ice with metal, you melted my heart with satisfaction
Makes me wonder what the value of a whole bar of Aluminum is worth after smelting down like that... And how much it costs to melt all that down.
It’s around 8 bucks US
That is, the material cost of the aluminum
One day near future that stack of bars nay be worth more.Back early 1800s stuff was worth the same as gold.Right now stack of semi precious metals may be as good as gold again with world economy and society going mad Max future
@@dougybrownie481 you're right society is going along with world economic form's leader Klaus Schwab to hook everyone up to the "internet of things", starting with a one world digital currency.
@@dougybrownie481 you're crazy
It's a fun experiment. If i wanted to cast anything I'd use i would take a trip to the junk yard. Then at least i know I'm starting with good casting alloys and a lot less dirty material.
It's amazing how many cans it takes to fill up that comparatively tiny crucible.
The brilliance of how little metal is needed in making those cans.
Apparently n the walls of the can are 75 microns thick
_Yes, I sure do love the very human thing of can crush go sound!_
_Very practical_
Pretty cool the video and all but
I wanted to tell you did a perfect trhow whit the first boot that was freaking amazing (20:46)
