    Hi Ben! Nice episode. Just in the end, what you have is a centrifuge rotor in a biology laboratory. It is probably aluminum alloy. they turn at a very high speed 10000 rotations per minute, you collect cellular material thanks to this. They are extremely expensive.

    For pack rats like me who hold on to outdated tech too long, that "sleeve" on the graphics card is something I save and then put back on the card when I no longer have it installed. If I had to guess, that's what happened with that Radeon. You don't even have to save the original protector since the PCIe slots are standard sizes so the next one you buy likely will have a protector you can use.
    Love these videos and your style! Keep up the great work!

    Looking at you unload the Chunky stainless steel makes me think of how cool a compactor would be so you condense! Then solving the issue of moving them. You could something like that on so many things too!
    Not much room to work with but if it could safe twice as much space then the room for the compactor would make room for itself.

    The direct removal of iron impurities from titanium products is impossible by the current industrial technology. Therefore, recycling of titanium scrap containing large amounts of iron by remelting is difficult. One of the many remarkable metals that can be recycled as many times as possible without losing any of their properties or general quality is titanium. Titanium is mainly recycled using a method called vacuum arc remelting. Since the metal can't be melted in an open-air furnace, it is instead processed using this method. Recycled titanium is not as valuable as copper, but it is more valuable than stainless steel and other ferrous metals. Good for you. They seemed quite heavy, so...a couple of bucks there for you!

  • @RSFred555

    If there are 3 of the stepdown transformers, I would check the Silicon Graphics PC to make sure that they are not just 120 volts AC before you plug one into 220 volt AC. Since they came from USA and looks like the power supplies are not standard PS and probably are not auto switching or have a switch to switch between for 120vac and 220vac.

    I got some titanium from of all things, a pool heater.
    I thought it was stainless steel, but the yard foreman picked it out as different from the rest and when they tested it with the gun...sure enough, titanium...they still paid about the same as stainless, but it was only 3lbs so I didn't complain
    As far as melting it, it has a very high melting temp so you'd need quite a furnaceto melt it.

    Better to scrap the laptops if there be just as much, or more, value in scrapping them than selling them on to a buyer. Get the near obscelete barstids out of circulation. You contribute to streamlining the second-hand market. You eliminate work either at your end or further down the line with refurbishing. Starting with the RAM you get a materials flow through the recycling streams sooner rather than later. Better that than just selling them on, as is, to keep them moving.

    1:11:06 a comment on this; in retrospect, there were past opportunities that may have been beneficial to capitalize on. However,...
    your current work and videos still serve as not only inspiration but education to would-bes who *have* capitalized on such an opportunity.
    There might not be a felt value gain directly, but being able to virtually shadow an experienced scraper is very valuable learning for us would-bes, wannabes and small timers who are looking to up our games.
    Thanks for the last eight years plus of virtual apprenticeship you've given to your viewers, and for the millions of dollars of value retained by all the fledgling scrappers whom you've directly inspired. 🇦🇺👷🏼‍♂️🍻👨🏼‍🌾 🇺🇸

      I think it is the different trash system. In Germany it is unpossible to Mix trash. Like metal and electronics and plastic. You also cannot put it on the street and the town will collect it. As privat person you have to bring it to a dump site, where everything is sortet for free.
      It is also Not allowed to take away others trash by law. And so we also dont have such big dumpster, where you can put so much stuff in.
