I have some old camcorder batteries (the long rectangle ones with terminals on the sides) from the late 80s, obviously 100% dead, that I plan on taking the cells out of to replace with nimh cells (way safer than lithium and easier to charge) so I can use the camera in the way it was intended to be used, and with a much better run time.

Do you know what off-gas is produced when soaking in the crystal lye, please?
@badideametals Ай бұрын
It depends on the concentration of the aqueous solution. If there is a very low concentration, it "could" be just water vapor, but this is not likely, and there are great debates on that. Most likely, it is tiny aerosol particles of sodium hydroxide (Lye). The NaOH (again, Lye) can burn and irritate mucous membranes, eyes, and other sensitive areas of your face, lungs, and sinuses. Once used during World War II to help with high altitude breathing O2 tanks, Caustic Soda (and yet again, sodium Hydroxide) was used to help scrub CO2 so that the O2 could be reclaimed and used in a "rebreather" sort of way. However, when the mix "goes bad" which I don't remember the details about, the result would burn lungs and sinuses which would leave permanent damage to the pilot. (Look up "richard best, caustic soda") If you want to see what lye does if you breath it in ... Dick Best would be a more extreme example as he went into a long day of fighting over the Pacific about mid 1942 when his mix went bad and he chose to keep fighting. It ended his career as he developed Tuberculosis and was forced to retire as a pilot. Way more then you wanted to know... but that would be my guess what happens when lye gives off gases, especially when it is heated.

2:00 I believe judging a broken panel by measuring "Open Circuit Voltage" is cheating yourself - and in the case of the guilty installer, your customer. Open voltage does not tell you much about the remaining power generation capacity of a broken panel, so when the panel is loaded, the power generation capacity is the one you should pay attention to measuring. The current that the panel is capable of delivering after the glass breaks down is the real thing - not the voltage. 3:48 Why don't you move the second panel further? Now you have a measly 6" wide Walkway between your two panels, and you really have to balance so you don't fall over one or both of them. I don't understand this kind of stupidity.

That RAM may not get $600 ... it is an estimate, but the last run I did got me over $1K ... but I did not count the sticks... just the weight of the chips. And that did not include the fingers. But at the end of the day, the machine was saved for me to do just this with it. It was an old enterprise machine that was to be dismantled for parts. So, it is now dismantled...

I graduated school before the Pentium 3 came out, so building computers meant (back then) that I had to be able to recognize ports, chips, and card slots for compatibility. - I went on to be a hardware and software tech for a help desk while getting my CS (Programming) degree. My first job out of school was to work for 2 companies getting servers configured and maintained as well as other hardware repair duties. - Now I kind of do a little of everything, including recycle ... Most things I knew before starting the channel... many things I learned as I have been going. When I identify things incorrectly, there are enough smart people that help me in the comments ... I am grateful for those who call out the correct identity of things when I slip up. I have a server teardown I am posting here soon. I hope to post Friday. Then a gold recovery to edit and post.

Hard to believe that was so long ago. The panel has not yellowed or cracked with the heat of daily exposure to sun and weather. I may get a new charge controller that would allow a wind turbine to be added to the system. That would be my biggest disappointments is that I have too small of a system for what I would want to do with it.

There were enough videos showing how to jump on them to seal them, that it implied that a number of people have trouble getting these together. When I got the first 2 together in just a few minutes, my wife recommended that I do this video. The other ways (like jumping on them) must have some people going to the hospital after the bins squeeze out from under them. I fear for those trying the "acrobatic" approach.

That Dell looks like a 20 MHz 386 to me. You don't come across 386 laptops very often. It seems like 286 ones held on for pretty long* and they were superseded by 25 MHz 486s without much of a 386 age in between. The thing you thought was the CPU was probably the SVGA controller. I'd keep those "cache" (no they're not, they're probably just normal RAM) RAM modules from the Dell, back then every expansion was proprietary, so hunting down the right module for your ancient collectible laptop is getting haaaaaard! Sucks that you have to scrap those whether you want it or not. *) if you compare a 16 MHz 286 with a 16 MHz 386, well... turns out, often enough, the 286 ends up being the faster of the two. It's certainly the cheaper of the two. It just won't run 32 bit software though.

It is sad I destroy so much history. Most of what I tear down off camera are Core2 systems and old Power Edge Dell servers ... much of these are so common, many people and companies just drop them into landfill. That is sad for so many other reasons. However, there are some machines that come to be for recycling that I am asked to deconstruct for the benefit of the channel, and for those viewers who are also curious to see how they are constructed. That Dell, I was messing with computer upgrades and building my own before that machine was constructed... however, laptops were hard for my family to come by when they were new back in the late 80s to mid 90s. I bought my first computer in 1991, and upgraded it after I sold my drums and walked away from the band I was in at the time in favor of computer graphics and animation... huh, that was so long ago. And laptops were for the rich. So, that was the first time I have ever looked in a Dell that age. And those Compaqs too for that matter. To your point, those proprietary modules such as RAM and other add-ons are sometimes very hard to find. I will keep the boards and see if there is any value in a re-use market instead of a recycle market. Thank you for your comment.
