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

[@Aussie50]

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

[@TheImmortallion]

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

[@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.

[@therealjammit]

Needs a plexiglass cover.

[@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]

@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

[@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]

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

[@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

[@ludwig_]

How about the last one?

[@Aussie50]

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

[@Aussie50]

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

[@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.

[@Tomx569]

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

[@mytmousemalibu]

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

[@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]

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

[@matthewjones9259]

Things go in and come back in your face

[@eltonxu2503]

Looking for mixed metals granules from computer circuit boards shredder!

[@Aussie50]

@Driv3th3hiv3 yhe, 2 were glass, one was alloy

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

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

[@Tokaisho1]

Your videos are truly beautiful Ed.

[@alex993cc1]

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

[@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

[@guygaric940]

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

[@aksal60]

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

[@FrontSideBus]

The destruction of the hard drives was rather impressive.

[@seaninlou68]

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

[@LambdaWave84]

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

[@tvandbeermakehomergo]

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

[@romandybala]

Strangely fascinating to watch.

[@IamFat32]

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

[@HighTechLab]

Yes, it will blend!

[@oplopiploplaplepliplaplop3269]

What if that thing ran on 50.000 RPM's?

[@nathanaelthomas-bates3111]

This would be even better in 3D

[@Gamer4life231]

Dam that's a nice shredder wish i had one

[@jdflyback]

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

[@jk86tech]

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

[@RODALCO2007]

that is a very effective shredder

[@Sypher474]

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

[@natemansur]

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

[@Driv3th3hiv3]

@Aussie50 Heh, laptops with glass platters?

[@circuitblooper]

re-shred that pieces again,it will be fun

[@20_below]

Throwing away brass in Australia, crazy!

[@nikyjim]

where did that auto feed part of it ever go?

[@shinyfuzzy]

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

[@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

[@mrmatt2525able]

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

[@jasonheyer7441]

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

[@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...

[@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...

[@TheFurriestOne]

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

[@shaunthesheep2011]

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

[@SamSitar]

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

[@michaelgadwah4938]

that brass is worth money

[@auvisales3938]

he doesn't care cuz he wastes stuff

[@Driv3th3hiv3]

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

[@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

[@oranac]

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

[@Frogger3140]

@donbehatin I thought he blew the 253?

[@daewooparts]

do you sort thru the shred for the scrap metals?

[@redneckbryon]

How do you think it would do with paper?

[@DursosZeroPred]

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

[@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

[@firedude44312]

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

[@daewooparts]

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

[@theultradramaking]

aussie you just have way to much FUN.

[@guygaric940]

aww the drives you got any i could have?

[@guygaric940]

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

[@djkreature4834]

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

[@thepurified8386]

Who throws that out? Anyways, good find!😀

[@ccraig412]

It spinning too fast?

[@Morkvonork]

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

i hope you wear protector glass

[@tom04_2]

kıvanç erakçora fuck off you smelly

[@vacuumboy6.0]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@TheToastPeople]

Miss you mate

[@AintBigAintClever]

And I thought Cookie Monster was a messy eater!

[@MrGerbilBrain]

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

[@dragkid185]

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

[@omgitschrislol]

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

[@donbehatin]

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

[@Nighthawke70]

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

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

Forget will it blend! Will it shred!

[@divinagraciadomingo5911]

6:16 lexus

[@Aussie50]

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

[@matveyshevchenko952]

its really fun

[@AndyNorman007]

I love it ed!

[@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...

[@ccraig412]

@Aussie50 Ah right, right. Makes sense.

[@pal05pmajor3]

Is that your big boys toy is it lol.

[@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]

.,,

[@daewooparts]

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

[@SkyNines]

Good way to get shit to fit in a bin bag, eh?

[@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

[@DatBlueHusky]

i wish i had one

[@krist0sh]

Oh shit, I lost the camera ;)

[@SuperSilver301]

stealing brass is felony

[@Aussie50]

SuperSilver301 not if you paid for it, or were gifted it :p.

[@SuperSilver301]

if you pay for it or gifted is correct ^^ PS. Are you Ed?

[@Aussie50]

SuperSilver301 I am Ed, Ed I am :D

[@SuperSilver301]

+Aussie50 does you have Facebook contact?

[@shalala4571]

Isnt that in the us?

[@high1voltage1rules]

Awsome ed!!! ;-) Thumbs up*

[@SuperHotLarry]
