I've been pulling stuff apart all my life and its a great way to learn new engineering approaches to problems. Its not just the parts you can repurpose, its the ideas too. Pull something aparr and stay calm.
Oh man, I just binged watched your last 4 months of content, you just got yourself a new subscriber, I love your mix of creativity engineering and art. The editing is masterful too! I'm certain your channel will blow up when the algorithm decides to anoint you as a chosen one.
This was all very satisfying, untill you started cutting wires... That sort of killed my buzz, tho that's probably because I have been desoldering a whole bunch of things the last few days.
Garbage Night is my favorite night of the week ! I drag home anything mechanical or electrical. I savage motors- Solenoids and many other mechanical devices looking for parts to tinker. Thanks for the great video !
I live near a engineering college, on garbage night before they go home after graduation I have found like new tools drills etc. I had one student give me a drill press with milling attachment because he did not want to take home with him for free !
@@geomcc39 damn you're lucky! I didn't find anything of note even while I was attending an engineering college lol all they ever threw out was old pentium machines from the physics labs... well actually come to think of it I remember a friend mentioning his prof gave him an old sem that needed a part replaced, that was pretty cool (I helped him locate the replacement part, not sure if he ever took the thing tho).
I'm sad watching this because I would love to hear from the original engineers what each component was used for, why they chose it, why they didn't go with some other design they were considering. What was frustrating about it, their failures. But I don't even know if they're alive. This is certainly a beautiful tribute, though
I tinker with clocks and it's my dream to manufacture my own designs. I also have an interest in steam engines and robots. Anything with gears makes me happy 🙂
it is just like therapy. when I was a kid, we had a old black and white TV in the basement, and I asked my mom if I could take it apart, I stripped it down to the very last screw just to get the magnets out of the speaker.
very relaxing video. disassembly nicely in detail. and the result: a lot of little things to use again. i like a lot of little things, thanks for the video.
I do this to every single postwar Lionel I buy. Even if I know it runs, it’s so relaxing to clean and take it apart and lube and finally put back together.
First time I remember as a three yr old getting into trouble for dismantling my dads electric razor ,followed by a wind up travel alarm at 4 yrs found out about springs !!😅😅 was lucky 😊
According to the video description, the device was an “old and unsafe” timer relay. Timer relays are used to send out electromechanical outputs at certain intervals.
2:10 BAUMER electric in Frauenfeld CH still exists - an international family company with a passion for sensors, encoders, measuring instruments and components for automated image processing.
I buy things from the flea market to completely dismantle them. It is both therapeutic and cheap entertainment. I am nowhere as precise or artistic, though.
What was the point?It looked like a perfectly viable mechanical timer switch untill you destroyed it, acceptable dissembly would be something like replace the microswitch to make it functional again or lubricate the moving parts,, not just turning it into scrap parts.
Cool video, but you can't do this with items built after 2000 or so becouse a lot of parts are pressed or glued together plastic so you can't take it apart without breaking it.
If I tried to do that it would be the last thing I ever did because the pieces would never be perfectly aligned with each other and I'd have to keep rearranging them because they're mocking me and if I let them go then they win
