i wonder why not just put those block of ice in container, so when you put your pour into the ice, it will cool and submerge with ice water and not slide around and no mess
@@ano_nym Although I'm definitely not your dude, I guess you're right. Maybe even Big stack D did copy this guy. Who knows. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Взять нож и просто снять оплётку с жилы - нет. Потратить кучу времени, электроэнергии, воды, загадить всё вокруг мелким мусором а потом жечь его вместе с металлом - ТО ЧТО НУЖНО!
😂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.
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.
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.
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?
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 !
@@andruxxa1984 Алюминий имеет низкую температуру плавления, как и довольно активный без оксидной пленки, при обжиге алюминиевого кабеля он у тебя просто "сгорит" остатками белой окиси алюминия. Я уже не говорю о том, что легко об этом говорить живя в РФ где "плевали" на экологию, и ты можешь жечь хоть килограмм 20 медного кабеля облитых маслом и соляркой (Хотя и в РФ это незаконно), в ЕС и тд тебя за костерок вздернут, это незаконно
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.
@@danglebits2558how many RU-vid videos have you made though? What's more interesting to watch, what he did, or watching a turkey with a knife sit there and whittle? It's not about the aluminium. It's about the spectacle.
As much as I'd like to have one, I don't think I'll be buying one of those shredders any time soon. Would it even be possible to add another step to the procedure? I subscribed anyway.
Me encanta el proceso de ver fundir aluminio para ver las esculturas de hormigueros, y por eso llegue a tu canal, pero cuando le agregaste sal rosada del himalaya a la olla me iba a orinar de la risa ajjajajajajaja
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
"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.
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 was wondering that too. I think it's most likely that that was just a joke (i.e. Mmm(!) Yum(!) Aluminium stew, my _favourite_ ...(!)) but there is a very real possibility that there is some chemical effect of adding a tiny bit of salt and we're just ignorant of it.
