Hello scrappers and planet lovers. In this video, I will show you all the free copper, tin, aluminum, brass and other metals that are found in some old fans. I will show you how to safely and effectively identify and separate the metals in order to help maximize your profit and divert as much of the material away from the landfill as possible.

Howdy tin man. Great video, Would you get more money if you smelted them down and then sold them?

Most fan motors are compacted with dust sucked in while running. It'll hume but not rotate when turned on. I blow out as much dirt as possible then spray lubricant around the shaft into the motor. Turn fan on and get blades rotating with a stick until under they're under their power. Sometimes a 2nd application is needed and fan fan works great.

@TinManScrapper 4 месяца назад

Nice, and I am sure you can sell them for a lot more than scrap value. it is amazing how many fans I have resold or donated. Stay well and thanks for the comment

@@TinManScrapper im hearing from the grape vine that you called an autistic kid an idiot and made him flip his desk. i do not think that a beauty like yourself would do that though. are you willing to clear up the rumors?

I have never called any of my students and idiot nor made any student of mine flip his desk. I have enjoyed every one of my schools and all of the students past and present that I have met along the way. Sadly that is a false rumour. @@user-ef5qn9nm5m

Prices are way better there. Getting $0.095 cents for shred, $2.75/lb for no2 copper, and only $0.39/lb for cast aluminum. Think I'll just let it pile up for now. The wire prices are really confusing to me also. The lowest grade/price, referred to as #2 insulated wire, is $0.75/lb. $1.80 for "machine wire" and #1 insulated at $2.10/lb. Romex at $1.65/lb. I know what romex is, but not the others......... Seems like what they call machine wire is definitely worth upgrading to #2 copper.

@TinManScrapper 4 месяца назад

I am amazed that tin price has continued to stay high and blown away that cast aluminum is $0.85lb here.

do all plugs have brass connectors?

I don’t know if all European connectors are brass but the ones I get on my scrapping adventures are either coated brass or yellow brass (all put in the same pile)

I got ahold of a welder is the copper number one or is it number two.

@TinManScrapper 4 месяца назад

The welder wire would be #2 in the long cables because it is a bunch of thinner strands. Any wire thinner than 16 gauge (about thickness of lead of a pencil) is #2

@nicolemik8677 4 месяца назад

@@TinManScrapper I'm talking about the thick copper in the machine it's self.

@grijzekijker 4 месяца назад

@@nicolemik8677from what I know, unless very old, it's probably aluminum. If you scratch the copper colored coating you ruin the transformer.
