I Took a Risk on This Electric Motor… Here's What Happened!

[@KevJ1247]

Good Video, well Done 🧲 Very informative. Thank you for the insight.

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

You are more than welcome, buddy and thank you very much 😉👍🚀

[@ScrapDaddy365]

Wow man that's great!!! Heck yeah it was worth it!!! $400+ in profit should speak for itself!!!!

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

Thank you buddy 👍😉🚀

[@alanpecherer5705]

You did much better than I thought you would. I thought your buy price was pricey, but you were savvy enough to find a motor with really fat windings. I am completely surprised you got $230 for the steel. That's a stunner. I also think your gantry was at peak capacity, just be careful, that much weight can fracture a leg or foot without even breathing hard. I don't mean to be overly critical, bro. Congrats overall!

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

When I buy big motors like this I try to pick the oldest, tend to have a better copper yield. And about gantry you are right unfortunately it is at peak capacity, I'm working on It to do some upgrades 👍. And "overall" your comment made my day brother, thank you very much 🙏. Feel free to stay around so we can change opinions from time to time 👍😉🚀

M8 time stamp 07:00 using a speed wrench did make a lot of difference , because using a grinder on cast iron would not have worked . I like to use diablo blades ; they're a bit expensive , but I get more than 1 use out of them. Cheers on your success . Keep up the good work. God bless y'all and Merry Christmas to you and all your loved ones

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

Diablo blades sure I will give them a try 😄. Merry Christmas and a happy new year I wish you. God bless you too 👍😉🚀

[@savatripfcs4761]

Score the length of the cast case with gas power concrete saw (metal cutting blade) score deep on one edge, use splitting wedge and case will pop open, less shrapnel 7:59

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

Thank you for your advice I really appreciate it for sharing 👍😉🚀

[@dorianarmeanu3831]

Good video! With a little extra effort you can get also the rest of the copper from the rotor! I am waiting for the next video!

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

Thank you my good friend, I will definitely try my best to create better content 👍😉🚀

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

I'm sorry about this buddy, English is not my maternal language but I promise you I can speak and write fluently in English. From a small kid I was attracted by these language. The main reason I use ai voice it's because is much faster to add it when I do the editing. Thank you for understanding 👍😉🚀

you was lucky to pick one that had 10% copper in it most only have 8% then more luck that you could cut it in half that easey

Good job thanks for the video,In Florida for 96.20 pounds of copper($4.12 a pound) you get $397.3 plus $230 for the steel total $627- $500 cost of the motor $127 menos gas, lunch, beer 🍺 lol😂 better to repair the motor you can get more profit but more work.

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

My scale is in kg, so the weight of the copper is 96.20 kg.That means 212 pounds of copper 👍 . I'm glad that you liked it 👍😉🚀

[@Ihavetruth22]

thats not 230 worth steel. steel is 100 for 1 ton. silicon steel? not sure.

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

My scrap yard pays me 0.25 cents per kg and the total weight of the steel is 890 Kg.

[@Ihavetruth22]

hi . sometimes motor repair is difficult. those plastic winding decay.

[@Ihavetruth22]

@@ElectronicWasteExplorers woah. 2000lbs of steel. amazing!!!!!! good work!

[@paulleblancjr.1794]

How long did it take you from picking it up then weighing it just wondering

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

From the time of pick up until full dismantle and full copper recovery approx 10 hours.👍😉🚀

[@southofhollywood4199]

Do they take the motors apart at the scrap yard?

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

I'm sure they do not, they fill containers and sell them as is.

2 Question, what have you pay for this Motor, and what have you became after

Break that profit down to an hourly wage. Then we can tell if it was worth the work.

[@ElectronicWasteExplorers]

Oooo I like your point of view, you value time more than money, ok! I always try to do that, to extract the most value with the lowest amount of time. $430 profit ÷ 10 hours of work= $43 approx Thank you and please consider staying around 👍😉🚀
