😂That has to be the most complex process I've ever seen for removing the aluminium from that type of cable.. use a Stanley knife, it takes seconds, I've literally stripped miles of that stuff by hand
I don't know how to tell you this, but you don't actually have to do things 100% efficiently every minute of every day, sometimes it's fine to do things in a way you enjoy or find fun, simply for the sake of it.
@@Saplingbat for sure, but this is a legit good tip, peeling that cable with a good knife would've taken a few minutes, and left no small plastic shrapnel.
This is the first time one of his vids have been in my feed for a while, and I'm now convinced that it was you invoking the algorithm that made it happen.
A fun addition to your setup may be an eddy current generator. Basically a drum covered in magnets that spins. If you run your scrap shreds over it, the plastic should drop from gravity and the aluminum will get a bit of a flicking action that can send it down a secondary chute into a separate container. Much less water waste, and less need for the drying step!
@@sparky9327Eddy currents have to do with conducting electricity through the substance to make it magnetic, kind of like the magnet falling in the copper pipe demo if you’ve ever seen that
@@sparky9327If you put aluminum in a magnetic field it sets up eddy currents. I've put a block of aluminum in an MRI and it moves freely in and out of the bore but greatly resists rotating across the magnetic flux lines. Recyclers use the effect with a spinning magnet to separate aluminum from other materials.
I appreciate your hard work, I pored aluminum back in my younger days. My question is have they ever asked you for a test sample to determine what alloy you’ve melted down?
A tip: if your wires won't go through the the wire stripper, instead of shredding them (and of course making more mess for yourself) cut the plastic casing off with a Stanley blade and THEN shred your metal once everything is stripped from the outside and the core. Honestly this way saves you alot of time and sifting.

I see we like to do it BigStackDCasting style over here ! Not with all this fancy equippment but with the big ice blocks and the thumbs up at any point in the video ! Nice !
nice i want your shredder so bad haha, when adding the water to separate the plastics and rubber from the aluminium, if you did a second wash with salt water you will get a better density separation from the plastics and rubber from the metals if that helps, and can always just reuse the same water tub for this part of the process, and could do a magnet belt and eddy current slide to try and split the metals once they are dry if you are after a more pure ingot only just found your channel and this video but seeing that shredder makes me want to get back into melting and casting so bad.
It's called the "Venturi Effect". He's blowing compressed air into the hose which creates a vacuum that sucks the water into the other end of the hose.
Those was huge molds. I bet those was pricey. I think I am going to make 2x2 inch angle aluminum. Maybe 6 foot long. I see a aluminum tandem trailer in my future
Love the sound of the metal melting the ice. I’m sure stripping the cable and separating from the ally would have been easier and quicker a sharp knife though. Still made a good video to watch.
tbh to everyone saying he should've stripped the cables with a knife, i think the method he chose worked out better for melting it down anyway. I'm no expert so don't take this comment too seriously.
if you cut the outside large tube with a ceramic bladed knife then the three inside would be small enough to strip. I've done it before and sorry that happened as it was coming along. good luck.
Once the ingots are dunked into water, it takes only a few minutes before you can grab them with bare hands. Copper, Brass is the same time line as well. 😀
"I wasted several gallons of water and electricity and burned plastic because i was too lazy or dumb to cut the plastic off the wires and wasted more time than it would have taken to just simply do that." There corrected the title.
@@auntysocialist i do have my eyes on one but currently im getting a gun so its taking a bit of my funds while its on layaway so till i get that paid off im having to manual strip the wires (not fun)
After i saw somones arm half way into one of those shredders i feel a little bit of anxiety everytime somone shows one running. In a video without any sort of chute on top
This seems like a needlessly complicated way to get rid of a couple blocks of ice.

Wow that was a lot of work for something that could have been solved with a utility knife and 10 minutes of time
Exactly.
Yes
No shit I was thinking those cables would be he'll easy to strip
Aye I was thinking surely there is a better way to extract the wire
The work was probably for ASMR purposes
Wonder how long you'll be finding aluminum splinters on your patio after that spill
Or in your feet or your kids 🙄?

Should have manually stripped the outer rubber insulation. Electric stripper for the smaller wires inside. Much faster.

Изначально создать себе кучу сложностей, что бы потом пытаться с ними справиться...
New to the channel! The blue/purple flames coming off the wire coating was neat to see!
also other than it being cool what are you going to do with these? do scrap yards give more money for aluminum on this state? or a metal igloo
Hi new here, you are a true scrapper, not may left. Hi from Alberta Canada
Love these videos!
Ben, there is only one thing that could make this video more spectacular: If it were 30 mins long! 😊

@bigstackD needs molds like these.
reenforce the tank with horizontal metal straps and you can add a second layer to the bottom with epoxy so the bottom of the tank can take more weight
Where did you get the shredder?
Ive never seen your stuff but i love it
watching everything go right first time for someone else is its own kind of therapy.
So... how much u get at the scrap yard? Or what you do with it?
Where did you get the metal shredder from
Man them were some nice thick bars
I bet that aluminum taste amazing .. The pink salt was a class move 👌
Very funny beginning to the video!
But it's all great stuff! And a completely original idea...
...which happens a LOT on this channel !
Fun fact Himalayan pink salt usually has the highest amount of led content of the table salts.
I like how you got the syphon going, never seen that

Are you going to continue this channel, could you update on ur situation if possible
Yoooo mister Murphy was strong that day. Lol

So just out of curiosity... does 37lbs of aluminum pay for all of the energy and time that goes into recovering it?... asking for a friend 😆😉
Doubt it, but it's all for the video anyways.
Does it work without the Pink Salt?
I would be honored to be recycled the same way as these wires
Make a jig to strip the cover from the wire. Then chop the wire.
pretty cool process
2:47 "😈MMM smells like money"
Not sure if im reading this right but according to the current spot price thats about $37 worth of aluminum
I loved the water idea... right up until the box burst
Kami senang lihat video anda karena ada komedinya sehingga membuat penonton terhibur.untuk videonya keren..berbeda dengan yang lain...👍
OK. Now You have two shiny aluminum bricks, but what You wanna do with them?
I recommend to build a house 🤪
just cannot understand why you have put yourself through all that hard work it can only be for your video right
Was going great tol that tub exploded lol
Огонем не пробовал выпаливать ?
Судя по затраченному времени было проще вручную разделать кабель)
4:03 hmmm well seasoned hot metal
лучше заливать в консервные банки - потом при обработке на токарном станке меньше металла уйдёт в стружку
Изоляцию после измельчения можно было не отделять от металла. Она сгорела бы при плавке. :)
Not surprised that the hi powered hose burst the container. Next time just use a simple garden one
At about 41 seconds it looks like you throw a mouse in the shedder too. 😂
That was a lot going on just to get the metal ready for melt 😂
How long does it take to get the aluminum to melt
Once the ingots are dunked into water, it takes only a few minutes before you can grab them with bare hands. Copper, Brass is the same time line as well. 😀

Вспомнились слова моей учительницы по физике: "нагревай снизу, а охлаждай сверху".
Feels like this could have been done with much less mess
If you have a crucible and a furnace why not just throw them in there whole why even strip? Would that mess up the quality of the final product
stripping the wires probably faster than that mess.
those are some huge ingots.
When you'd rather work harder, than smarter.
Shouldn’t you have used a neodymium magnet to remove all the steel screws first?
Was the salt actually needed, or was it just a gag?
This was a fun melt
