How much copper is in a 360ib electric motor. (ep12) 

You tackled that well. You almost have to cut the casing in half to get the stator out. The vice grips on your punch bar was impressive to get back out, simple and effective, loved it. Couldn't help notice those shiny bricks on the work bench, very nice. Look forward to more of your videos. Cheers from Australia.

Very good video of a large electric motor break down. Awesome copper from this one.😎😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

Damn. Decided to take 2 old motors home from a HVAC unit change out one is 360 lbs and the other is over 700. Getting the copper out is going to be a project. Thanks for showing how to do it.

I really enjoyed the video.

Great video. Thanks

Made it easier for me thank you

I've cracked the entire housing before just using a heavy chisel and heavy hammer (much easier with the Alloy ones) and it only took a few hits . . . and I didn't have to break out my grinder.

That is one big motor😳👍🏼

Those size of generator motors are hard to come by for free, and getting it on a truck to hull it home and removing it off the truck without damaging your truck or cement floor needs further equipment. I wonder what something that size would cost from the scrap yard and then compare that to what you sell it back to them for would be.

New sub.wow that's a huge copper moter bro. like your method how you get that copper out the cast armature. love the grinding action bro. Keep them videos rollen 👍

New friend here great video

Wow that's huge. What cutting disk are you using mate? I have the opportunity to get a 387lb electric motor for free but I don't have the ways or means to collect it unfortunately. I searched for a video on what the potential payout would be for something this size and maybe now after seeing your video and what you can get out of it it's definitely worth it and it's free. I might just have pay somebody with a truck and hiab to collect it for me. I'm from Western Australia and we are going through another heat wave 3 days of 41 degrees celcius. If i get this motor i will wait till its a lot cooler before i proceed with it. Thanks for showing us how to do it you sure made it look easy 👍

I sell my motors whole, maybe i should start breaking them down. Great video and new sub .

Nice video good

Nice

How much $ worth of copper for how much of your time, including collection of motor and disposal of scrap? How would that compare to a work shift labouring?

What is the tool your using to punch them out?

What is the percentage of copper in DC electric motor?

I guessed at the beginning 36 lbs. I usually get around a 10% copper return on the larger motors.

21 HP motor how much ask video Big s side

So, about 10% of the weight. Hm. Thanks for the video!

Great job.and nice copper.but how much is 30 pound in kilograms 🙂

What kind of motor was that?

This motor how much in hp calculations? Answer me

I just took apart a 15HP motor the same way, how many HP was that one ?

No

Skin tag on small.dogs.

Have you thought about wearing gloves

45 lbs ? Lol big motor

You forgot to deduct the insulation and varnish on and around the copper. Your method of removing the wire is much simpler if you just burned the whole stator over a fire for a short period of time. When you post a video, make sure you have your facts right.
