Ed Shredds - TV Remote, Laptop HDD's and other bits

[@Aussie50]

yep, definitly!, they have some great shredding videos!

[@Aussie50]

@daewooparts I scooped the top layer off and threw it in the steel bin, but thats as far as it goes.

[@Aussie50]

yeh, thats why I threw all kinds of crap in this one, I will cut the old hopper off and start from scratch

[@TheImmortallion]

Seeing those HDD's get destroyed also destroyed my heart.

[@Aussie50]

@ccraig412 its a bit fast but I can't change the speed on it without going to a 3 phase motor. it does its job well tho, because momentum makes up for lack of motor HP

[@Aussie50]

@grafficsgeek they have a tiny amount on them, but there are few buyers around here. not to mention data security issues associated with selling disks that are not properly wiped.

[@Aussie50]

@Balarick not with those amps, it would melt instantly. I need a good 3Hp 220V 3 phase motor, but that will be part of the re-design

[@Aussie50]

@daewooparts I shredded about 8 of them, and 245Win caliber. I am keeping NATO standards or old mil-spec stuff (30-06, .30 carbine, 45ACP etc)

[@Aussie50]

@vw77 yeh i had it uncovered for visuals only, normally I have a rubber flap over the top

[@Aussie50]

@danorambo yeh, the Toshiba was 1.2Gb!, same as the first 3-1/2" HDD I bought!. paid $100 for it!

[@ahyaan2552]

Youll never see this...... so sad

[@ludwig_]

How about the last one?

[@therealjammit]

Needs a plexiglass cover.

[@mytmousemalibu]

Ed, have you seen any of the SSI shredders or their shred of the month vids? Highly recommended!

[@Junkyard-Restorations]

i have a good idea, computer moniters have those sheets of plexiglass, use those to completely cover the top of the shredder but you can still see the destruction

[@sethm8432]

It would be funny if the camera fell in and he some how got the memory card.

[@Aussie50]

@daewooparts but yeh I have a tonn of re-loadable brass now.

[@jdflyback]

will you get a solid piece of steel and mill to make a new rotor?

[@eltonxu2503]

Looking for mixed metals granules from computer circuit boards shredder!

[@Tomx569]

More torque, less speed, and maybe stuff won't shoot back at you.

[@OlegKostoglatov]

We used to smash hard drives with a framing hammer at the recycling place where I used to work, that is the very old obsolete ones that weren't worth wiping and reusing.

[@Aussie50]

@Driv3th3hiv3 yhe, 2 were glass, one was alloy

[@oplopiploplaplepliplaplop3269]

What if that thing ran on 50.000 RPM's?

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

ah yes, the shredding of glass platters, very satisfying.

[@Tokaisho1]

Your videos are truly beautiful Ed.

[@guygaric940]

Once it broke open that cap there were pieces of it everywhere

[@jairuspatoc9682]

your shredders remind me of the escalator scene in final destination 4..

[@markedmond1084]

Ya

[@_itsisaac8602]

That's why I'm scared of escalators now

[@markofcomms]

why

[@branislavakoncarevic6722]

whats your name of your shredder? weima or filamaker or filamaker it security shreder?

[@strawwagen]

+Branislava Koncarevic I think he made it himself

[@ghaager]

+Branislava Koncarevic Nothing, he made it himself

[@nikyjim]

where did that auto feed part of it ever go?

[@matthewjones9259]

Things go in and come back in your face

[@mrmatt2525able]

i am making one of thoes this summer, what would be a good engine HP, drive ratio and ale size for blades????

[@BuickDoc]

Have you considered reclaiming the gold and other precious metals in the electronic waste? It seems like you get quite a bit. I've seen it written that electronic waste has about 2 oz gold per ton of circuit boards, as well as silver and other precious metals. Two oz gold is now worth about US$ 3500. Just asking...

[@daewooparts]

do you sort thru the shred for the scrap metals?

[@Sypher474]

Maybe stick some wire mesh over the top so you have the best of both worlds?

[@tvandbeermakehomergo]

@Aussie50 what about using a piece of clear perspects plastic insted

[@alex993cc1]

love all the dilectric paper come out of the caps LOL "where did all that come from? "

[@redneckbryon]

How do you think it would do with paper?

[@Driv3th3hiv3]

@Aussie50 Heh, laptops with glass platters?

[@FrontSideBus]

The destruction of the hard drives was rather impressive.

[@donbehatin]

You should figure out how to run it off the 253...most torque of any home used shredder ever?

[@TINRFD]

Maybe the next one should turn at lower rpm or may have a feeder drum like those big wood chippers, just my 2 cents...

[@LambdaWave84]

Finally, a 2HP single phase AC motor can do nice things.

[@aksal60]

am i the only one to find this funny? keep up the good work.

[@shinyfuzzy]

feed the cases in to get scrap brass since you might not be able to turn casings into the yard

[@nathanaelthomas-bates3111]

This would be even better in 3D

[@Gamer4life231]

Dam that's a nice shredder wish i had one

[@daewooparts]

@Aussie50 the prices are way up here too , i only scrap damaged or corroded unsafe shells ,all others get saved or traded , i do sometimes shred the duds & defects in a modded up old school meat grinder thats on steroids :P

[@jasonheyer7441]

you could shred up soda cans and bottles in that its useful

[@IamFat32]

now I want to see desktop HDDs go through that shredder.... that would be awesome!

[@HighTechLab]

Yes, it will blend!

[@romandybala]

Strangely fascinating to watch.

[@circuitblooper]

re-shred that pieces again,it will be fun

[@Frogger3140]

@donbehatin I thought he blew the 253?

[@natemansur]

I believe you would have the best results with a high torq low speed motor

[@daewooparts]

@MrSciencetificsasuke guess you just seen the latest SSI shredder video?

[@ccraig412]

It spinning too fast?

[@SamSitar]

@Aussie50 maybe a dimmer switch for a light bulb will do.

[@20_below]

Throwing away brass in Australia, crazy!

[@daewooparts]

@Aussie50 i try to seperate everything ,but i get the steel out by using the magnets recovered from the HDD's those are strong ,in korea we shred our defective and claims HID ballast that don't get rebuilt ,lots of aluminum and copper in them,especially the older ones,out homemade shredder works good as well as a modded meat grinder , one of my friends in korea who is in the scrap business that recycles lots of computers actually got real shredders from SSI.i want to get a used muffinmonster

[@seaninlou68]

I love your evil little laugh , as things get smashed LOL

[@RODALCO2007]

that is a very effective shredder

[@firedude44312]

He has the laugh of someone who would use this for interrogation.

[@Morkvonork]

I wonder what happens when you throw a big charged capacitor into it :-)

[@Driv3th3hiv3]

@Aussie50 Pretty cool, you should do more shredding videos!

[@jk86tech]

wow, thats an awesome shredder. it seems, that it likes laptop harddrives the most - just a few big "bites" needed :D

[@msport224]

what is the purpose of this shredder like what was it designed to shred? you could easily shred small children or sheep with it lol..... :p

[@oranac]

was hoping you might charge the cap before shredding, good show though :D

[@DursosZeroPred]

you should cut a piece of plexiglass to put over the openng

[@omgitschrislol]

Im hungry and dont know what to eat. Any Ideas?

[@TheFurriestOne]

Ha, some of the magnets got stuck to the walls of the hopper!

[@donbehatin]

@Frogger3140 Not that I know of. Last video it was still running...

[@guygaric940]

aww the drives you got any i could have?

[@guygaric940]

Why did I write this? I'm seeing this a year later

[@krist0sh]

Oh shit, I lost the camera ;)

[@shaunthesheep2011]

Fantastic video !!!! ;D I want one !

[@michaelgadwah4938]

that brass is worth money

[@auvisales3938]

he doesn't care cuz he wastes stuff

[@dragkid185]

you should gear this down really low so it doesn't spray nearly as much and can crush bigger stuff.

[@djkreature4834]

i found a office shredder in a trash can, and it eats cans and all kinds of things with its original motor.

[@puri-makes-stuff-sometimes]

Who throws that out? Anyways, good find!😀

[@theultradramaking]

aussie you just have way to much FUN.

[@windowsfan95]

you should take a small worling hard drive, connect it to a working pc install linux on it it. then bring everything outside to the shredder an throw the hardrive into the shredder while the computer is on. or you could throw a old working laptop to it.

[@vacuumboy6.0]

@Aussie50 hay edd can you do some cap poping :D

[@MrGerbilBrain]

@IamFat32 haha, yeah! but you would need a bigger shredder :D HDDs are thick metal, and that shredder would just jam up :/

[@BoomBoxDeluxe]

Mmmm, chomped up, ready to go into the pile of dead everything. :-D It made light work of those HDDs...Om nom nom nom.... :-D Thanks for showing, -BoomBoxDeluxe

[@AintBigAintClever]

And I thought Cookie Monster was a messy eater!

[@renton9999]

Remote: half rejected - Tube: easy - Cartridge: full of staples - Cap: "meh..." - Stick: "fuck you!" - HDDs: "FEED ME!" - Floppy: not gonna happen - Shells: forgotten Yeah, you need new blades...

i hope you wear protector glass

[@tom04_2]

kıvanç erakçora fuck off you smelly

[@Nighthawke70]

Need to gear down that drive a bit, it's a bit too happy to nosh down on some scrap.

[@Aussie50]

@renton9999 trust me,. it ate the FDD's :D

[@matveyshevchenko952]

its really fun

[@TheToastPeople]

Miss you mate

[@Dont-come-at-me-24]

Forget will it blend! Will it shred!

[@daewooparts]

power up the new shredder with the GM Holden V8 :P

[@DistantThomas]

Just my opinion But I didn't like the way thoser HDDS met their fate, the only way i accept for any old HDD is open up for parts, of reuse.

[@Aussie50]

Supercat Mao only the magnets and motor could be of any real use to a hobbyist, that and maybe the pin headers off the board. the disks make cool frisbees or EM Disk thrower ammo tho :D

[@DistantThomas]

Aussie50 Thats Exactly why i Didn' like it, It's a great motor as well as is would be at least 5400 Rpm. Also HackaweekTV showed another use for old hdds around episode 52.

[@ademod2644]

.,,

[@divinagraciadomingo5911]

6:16 lexus

[@ccraig412]

@Aussie50 Ah right, right. Makes sense.

[@daylightbigboy]

THINK OF THE POOR STARVING CHILDREN IN AFRICA THAT COULD'VE EATEN THOSE HARD DRIVES!

[@divinagraciadomingo5911]

6:17 acura

[@More350Power]

now that is data destruction on them hard drives LOL. I cant smash one faster that that machine ate em!

[@HDXFH]

you need titanium or diamond blades for that, it'll eat things real well then :D

[@daewooparts]

don't shred shells ,especially while in australia , should be stockpiling and hording those if reloadable

[@funnymememan2458]

Kids in africa could've eaten that electron gun.

[@valerieabend2942]

It's a bit fast...
