How To Get The Copper Out Of Microwaves Part 1

[MrMark4423]

Is this what I look like when I'm trying to get something apart? LOL!!! I love it!

[LMNT115]

for the bolts with the weird hex heads and the post in the center...use a ceterpunch,

give it a couple good taps with the hammer, and it mushrooms that post so you can get an

allen wrench in.

[canadahobby]

It doesnt matter if its a Kenmore or not, they're basically all thr same.

[Junktiques4u]

Very funny video. :0)

[Junktiques4u]

all that work for $8.00 worth of copper????

[Dakota360ci]

7:05 Dude you have to hold the chock while pulling the trigger to tighten the bit. dont just stick it back in a pull the trigger

[jcrispy1000]

i scrap a lot of motors and have found a lot of green copper. can anyone tell me why the copper is green. P.S ITS NOT OXIDATION.

[killsomemore4]

heres the capacitor, its not plugged in so its fine, lets ground it out with our hands. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! your gonna kill yourself dude. next time do me a favor and take a screw driver to both leads a couple of times before you go routing around by it with your hands.

[tuffgongc9]

I've noticed there's plenty of knowledgeable posters here. Can someone tell me what the other coil of wire is within the transformer? i believe it's just a copper coated tin or aluminum. It's much lighter and silver on the interior.

[azhomepurchase]

Why strip the copper if it still might work? If it works, spend one minute posting an add on craiglist and make 10x more money.

[bgacre]

This is where all the radiation crap is,, LOL LOL So lets rip on it.. Lmao

[netrubicon]

I bet the scrap yard cant wait to see you. Much better off scrapping gold and silver.

[tommy1504]

This is what happens when you put your kids on Ritalin.

[JanAppeldorn151]

you are a noob , coppernoob xD

no offense , great vid.

[youtubinwizeass]

This is kinda like watching a primate at the zoo play with his poop.

[killersullo]

he doesnt even know how to put in the drill bit..

[camaroguy1981]

looks like a raccoon trying to get in a garbage can lol

[mosaicglass]

Click the progress bar at about every 15 seconds and have yourself a real laugh.

[tubehubing]

Just take a sludge hammer to it mate! get into it son!

[cupcakechagrin]

put some f'n shoes on hill-billy

[baldfatgit1]

That was the most entertaining vid ive seen for a long time "ground out the cap haha"

"radiation crap" its called a magnatron hehehe.Flip Flops open toes blood on the legs due to a cut cos you are in shorts sat on the floor pulling sharp steel plate apart with bare hands.Trying to rush the job. Using the wrong tools (hence the screwdriver bit keeps falling out) cos it aint long enough and you are unwinding the chuck. Please the next vid i aint stopped laughing should see blood on the next one.

[LiquidChem]

dude oyu cant ground out the cap to the thing thats not grounded! if that was still holding voltage, it would have shocked the shit out of you if you were touching the metal housing.. just thought you should know, youve been lucky until now.. you do NOT want to get shocked by 250 volts

[whittle4u]

looks like a lot of trouble & blood shed for $6 worth of copper.

[IronHorsez88]

2:12 How to take apart a microwave.... wait- I don't have a CLUE! I've never done it before. I'm just a typical Youtube stoner.

[IronHorsez88]

You just ruined a good Earth saving green energy device! Way to go!

[dugasdav]

You can get a longer bit holder for your drill, to avoid your mandrel from rubbing against the box and loosening. It's doing the same thing (but in reverse) that you do when you tighten the mandrel... It's not Craftsman's fault.

[ericlepiq]

is this guy ror real

[IBloodSweatTears]

What camera do you have? 

[dabigjokeoftheday]

DUDE, BUY A FUCKIN SCREWDRIVER!!!!!!!!

[killersullo]

I like his videos. lol

[julianblonde]

Looked like a new oven, did you ever think to try it and possibly sell it for more money?? Sanyo makes the magnetron, perhaps not the rest of it. You are very inept and wait till you find out they no longer put transformers in microwave ovens. You wouldn't know a piece of crap if it hit you on the head and obviously you know absolutely nothing about appliances.

[chopko7]

And you vere the fastest sperm????????????????????????

5:49 radioactive crap in here??

Are you dismantling a MICROVAVE or NUCLEAR REACTOR or A BOMB?

Shame that it is not beacuse it would "fry" your testicals. Nice x mas decoration.

You would do a mankind a favor

Inside is only cavity magnetron ventilator and HV transformer. No radiation No radiation

DUMBASS MORON IDIOT

[mikester76]

what a fucking dork

2 lbs of copper is like 5 dollars. You could probably get 10 for the micro. You are one big recessive Gene

[mikester76]

what a fucking dork

[marshallspikebanana]

There's also lots of copper in that drill dude...

[shinywatch]

isint it ironic you cant put metal in a microwave but thea are made of metal

[dugasdav]

@shinywatch Actually you can put metal in a microwave, but avoid anything pointy, or too small. A solid ball of metal would be the best, as long as it's big enough

[asctoy]

sanyo is who makes the motor you fuktard not the microwave just like japan making radios and other electronics for chevy and ford american vehicles...wow

[pfcwar5150]

Is this where the came up with the saying,..."A monkey fucking a football"?

[M1ST3RHYDE]

You can ger a "tamper proof" bit set from harbor freight for really cheap. Or a sledge will be awesome.

[blingchildvideossuck]

1 second ago EVERYONE ON YOUTUBE MAKE FUN OF THIS KID I RUN THE SCRAP YARD ROUND HIM IN NORTH WEST INDIANA AND HE BRINGS IN PLASTIC TRASH CANS SOMETIMES AND TRYS SCRAPPIN THEM HES RETARTED EVERONE AT HIS SCHOOL CALLS HIM BLING CHILD AND TRAIN KID HES A FAGGG DONT ASK HIM QUESTIONS EITHER HE DOESNT NO HOW TO GET HIS MONEYS WORTH OUT OF EVERYTHING

[MrJimmers88]

there is nothing wrong with that screwdriver/drill you just never tightend  it up enough

[DaManzMoney]

Oh 2 or 3 part video at 10 min each 30 mins for cooper wire worth 1.00

[ruaur1]

how many times have you done this??

[mizzoumail]

I can hardly wait for your next video to see If you still have your toes and fingers.......lmao

[usaruss]

@mizzoumail Right on, I'd never wear sandals to do that stuff. I've also seen videos of people doing blacksmith work in sandals or flip flops. My luck would never hold out for that.

[crimson22s]

thanks for the vid

[4Kottonmouth2Kween0]

i think sears should sue!

[CTOPH84]

"Weird Screws; they are like hex screws with a thing in the middle" ha ha ha its a tamper proof Torx bit there bud

[gigfydotcom]

dude. wear metal tipped boots: to protect your toes and not to show your toes (visual pollution). thanks.

[angryadrien]

5:55 it's not radioactive, its radio waves, produced by the magnatron

[tigeruno2002]

where is your sledge hammer

[kwxj61b]

all of that work just for a piece of transformer and then add another labor of getting that copper out. You got to be kidding me. 2 lb of copper would only give you the max of $5-$6 with a total of 1 hours of complete labor. You make less than a guy flipping burger. GIVE IT UP!

[04outlander400]

@kwxj61b ahh for some of us its a part time hobby/job. instead of sitting in front of the tube i scrap stuff then on the weekends i take my scrap in and make my "mad money". bought me a trailer and a used four wheeler and now am paying for a brand new 800 can-am four wheeler just out of junk money. it adds up believe me.

[bloodmonkeys216]

you gotta keep the chuck away from the surface otherwise the bit will just fall of

[MrLeonard55]

The star screw with the pin coming up in the middle is a security screw. You can get a good kit of security bits at Harbor Freight. They are pretty cheap. Make a workbench. Hell of a lot easier. Keep on Scrappin.

You could tell people where to find scrap stuff too.

[radattt]

you had me rollin there at - 3:50 - Keep on scrapppin

[TVAExtreme]

He could just cut out all the useless stuff n make this into 1 video... i dun think many people will watch 30mins of tape to see how to break a microwave open...

[katbassplayer]

You have to be smarter than the tool.

[CanadianTradition]

it has nothing to with the drill being a craftman. its you who is making the chuck touch the side of the part u are removing. thats y the bit is coming out. i think u need to learn about patience. pay attention to what u are doing before blaming the tool u are using.
