    The other thing to watch out for: the center of the magnetron (that goes down the center of the copper from one end to the other) is made of THORIATED tungsten. Thorium is RADIOACTIVE.

    • @scrapitall200
      @scrapitall200  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

      I’ve heard that but apparently it’s such small amounts it’s not dangerous. The scrap yards scan every load for radioactive material and they have no problem with magnetrons.
      Thank you for the concern and for watching.

    • @TheEulerID
      @TheEulerID 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Bananas and brazil nuts are also radioactive, and we eat those. Thorium has a half life of 14 billion years, meaning that in the lifetime of the universe, there's only a 50 chance any given atom will decay. That makes it barely radioactive at all. Thoriated tungsten is used in TIG welding electrodes, and is a natural element found in rocks. Of all the things to be worried about, a tiny amount of barely radioactive thorium is among the least of them.

    • @pazsion
      @pazsion 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The whole thing and the microwave becomes radioactive…
      Thorium is deadly in any amount, breathing it in is the most dangerous but it can be absorbed into the skin too…
      Gloves and masks… and less than 15 minutes per day and you should be fine.

    Why are there so many haters here? Maybe the man is retired and needs just a little more money to get by on every month. Maybe he doesn’t need the money at all, but is doing it just because he enjoys keeping busy. Beats sitting in a rocking chair and rocking your golden years away. Maybe he puts that little bit of money up for his grandkids. Maybe he’s just doing his little part in trying to reuse/recycle what he can. Man if y’all can’t do anything but bad-mouth and complain from your anonymous position behind a keyboard, maybe just don’t comment at all. This man isn’t hurting you. At least he’s trying.

    I know that when I used to work in a government facility that had asbestos in the ceilings, when opening a ceiling tile where asbestos dust could have settled we had to spray around the edge of the tile with a mist of water (from an ordinary spray bottle). I can't remember for sure, but we might have added just a little dish soap too...either way would work. The idea was to dampen any dust to prevent it from going airborne. That might help here, where there is a chance you could crack the ceramic and release micro particles.

    I used to work for the military in the black box repair electronics section, and I can tell you that government magnetron do use beryllium for their insulators in their magnetrons. However, the cost to produce commercial magnetrons would be too expensive to use beryllium for cheap microwave ovens. So I highly doubt you would find beryllium in those... The government actually collected all the old magnetrons for such beryllium collection. Just a little info. I highly doubt any landfill would allow microwave oven disposal if they did contain beryllium... JMHO!

      I don't know about where you live, but here in Australia, there's the possibility that someone might put a microwave appliance in the regular waste bin. I'm told there's a radioactive component in some magnetrons that means it has to be handled specially. These microwaves really should be sent to a proper collection facility in any case, as they're not good for belt systems that are designed to separate different types of waste. Some scrapyards will take them, it seems to depend on whether they're okay with handling radioactive materials commonly used in microwave appliances.

      It's the thoriated tungsten filament. It's very small, and the radio activity is very small as well. You get more radiation by taking a 20 minute flight. Radioactive is a big scare monger word that gets tossed around everytime someone discovers that a consumer product contains a very small amount of Radioactive material. The lack of context & ignorance of raradioactivity leads the misinformed into a panic.
