Dispelling 3 Myths About Microwave Ovens | Shocking Truth You Need!

[@benjismith593]

You'd also have to be cutting the stuff, and breathe the dust. They make these things as cheap as they can. I work on , and sell appliances. Also don't buy an expensive microwave. The large majority are made in a few Chinese factories. Also many share the same parts.

Actually you can scrap them with out cutting it. Anytime I'm cutting anything when I'm not shooting video I wear a respirator. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for dispelling that myth! I've known that for years. People would lose their minds if they saw how I get the aluminum fins from the magnetron core. That's why I never show it on my videos! 😯😂

[@thescrapmeister]

LOL, thanks for watching!

It's strange to find some older then myself. These houses around here were built like scrap but up on the iron range, them mine workers would keep something going for ever , and NEVER throw anything away....... you were popping those in under a min last time , that one was given you the bizz.

[@thescrapmeister]

Yes, that one didn't want to give it up.

just found your channel a while back and love watching your videos. BUT a problem I have is I have a hearing problem where I only hear one thing at a time. Like if I am talking to someone I cant hear the background noise or other people or it intensifier with hearing what they are saying sometimes. it is hard to explain how my hearing works. I have to use headphones to watch videos and your background music just drives me crazzy while trying to watch your videos. but thanks for the videos for this old man.

[@thescrapmeister]

Thanks for watching, I've lowered the music over the years. Have you tried turning no the closed captions to read it, rather than listening?

[@scrappingonthefly77]

Yep it's all a myth. But still today microwaves have a minimal amount of berilium in the porcelain. Personally I think it's not enough to worry about!

[@thescrapmeister]

Thanks for watching, everything I could find said non has been use since 1985?

[@scrappingonthefly77]

@thescrapmeister then we have nothing to worry about lol !!

[@LeafFreedom]

So in a few months from now when you are diagnosed with stage four cancer, will you feel stupid?

[@thescrapmeister]

Thanks for watching... I don't break the porcelain anyway, there is no need to. Plus I were a respirator when I'm not filming.

That "resistor" is *not* a "bleed off" (capacitor discharge) resistor. A discharge resistor would be wired *between the two terminals of the capacitor* (not from only one of them to the chassis). Also, your camera work makes it hard to tell for sure, but I'm pretty sure that "resistor" is *not even actually a resistor.* That appears to be a high-power diode, which is a common component in this type of circuit as well, but serves a completely different purpose. There probably is a discharge resistor for the capacitor somewhere in the circuit (often, they're actually built into the capacitor itself), but _that isn't it._ (Also, the constant shakey-cam is making me rather nauseous just trying to watch this video so I'm not sure I'll be able to even make it all the way through. Maybe you might want to invest in an actual camera mount of some kind...)

[@dimitrismaster]

That's a high voltage diode not a resistor..

[@thescrapmeister]

It worked... I figured if I called it a resistor, a lot of people would comment to tell me I was wrong :-) thanks for watching.

[@dimitrismaster]

@thescrapmeister lol,I just know what it is because I'm in the repair business beside the scrap business

[@thescrapmeister]

@dimitrismaster lol, I was an electrician:-) getting people to comment is like pulling teeth.

[@MrClutchNinja]

Bro, at least look at one manual before you take something apart. It's a flipping diode.

[@thescrapmeister]

@MrClutchNinja thanks for watching and commenting:-) a plummer might call it a drain.
