Scrapyard Bullion Bars - Copper Brass Aluminum - ASMR Metal Melting - Trash To Treasure - BigStackD

Bugger me this little piece was chock full of the good stuff. So satisfying finding pure copper windings and not the cheap copper coated aluminium windings. A huge haul today for the stack and a heap of fun pours so sit back relax and enjoy the extra long video . And have an unbelievably awesome day!!
Now if you Feel like supporting the channel it wont cost you a cent and that is to play one of my playlists on your computer before you walk away from it and let it play through that really helps as ads will play and watch time will go up . Watching ads definitely helps but Don’t ever feel as though you need to watch the ads if you don’t want to simply skip them and move into the video it’s completely up to you and I understand if you don’t have the time to do so👌🏻😁👍🏻.

HOW I MIRROR FINISH A BAR
I start with an 80 grit flap disc on my angle grinder then I use my drill with 50 mm round sanding discs . I start with 150 grit then go through the following Grits 240-400-800 Then once I get to the following Grits I use a small squirt of WD-40 1200-1500-2000-2500-3000. The WD40 helps to lubricate the discs and stops the sanding disk binding up with the metal powder . Then after that I use my buffer wheel on my bench grinder to get a perfect mirrored finish on it.

[@bigstackD]

As I say in the vid today, thanks to all you awesome People for your continual support I really appreciate it and you guys and gals are the best. Now Today an awesome haul for the stack plenty of copper brass and Aluminium. So sit back relax. Enjoy the video and I can’t wait to see you all in next Fridays video.👋🏻😁

[@Biorx8]

Hi, @5:57 this are condensers.... be very carefull with this, ok, this ones are old, but in general, this stuff can be lethal

[@HowYouKFC]

When’s the 1000kg motor melt that you tease us with in the background 🥺

[@johnnykerley4791]

I just purchased my first devil forge.i will do first light this Saturday. It's a 10 kilo. My question for you is , what MPa do you use for copper and aluminum?

[@user-xp4ib3qu4w]

More big electric scrap

[@bigstackD]

@johnnykerley4791 ----- REGULATOR SET POINT and adjustments 0.12MPa Copper 0.10MPa Brass / Bronzes 0.08MPa Aluminium I set the regulator at 0.10MPa for brass and when it gets up closer to its melting point I backed the furnace off to 0.08MPa or even lower to make sure I don’t accidentally overheat the brass and burn off the zinc.

[@Anonym-yr4qn]

Perfect ASMR and sleep-in content. No talking, no weird shit, just relaxing content.

[@Ironman829]

You know it's a good video when 0:01 in and you see a clean copper pour

[@CanisAnubis]

I'm not an electrician, but I played one in the Navy (no degree or tradesman's rank, is what I mean) - those look like capacitors. And once you showed the label on the side, it confirmed it. The "uF" is microfarads which is the SI symbol and measurement for capacitance. So just to be safe, I did a quick search and found other similar ones that I can't post a link to here due to YT spam-filters, but they're out there. :) No drop bears today. Just drop-capacitors! Also, those super thin copper bar pours are just doin' it for me. Eye pleasing and soul quenching! Love it!

[@robertsnowdon6932]

There were so Drop Bears today and they were near the start of the Video.

[@aidenwallin3523]

I caught the microFarad label too. Definitely capacitors of some type. You probably know more about them than me, but I recognized the shape and the unit from all of Backyard Scientist's giant capacitor bank experiments.

[@johnarmenta2199]

Yeah - 8 micro-Ferads, 440V. Those could fetch some beer money on ebay.

[@johnarmenta2199]

​@@robertsnowdon6932 - From Wiki: The drop bear (sometimes dropbear) is a hoax in contemporary Australian folklore featuring a predatory, carnivorous version of the koala. This imaginary animal is commonly spoken about in tall tales designed to scare tourists. While koalas are typically docile herbivores (and are not bears), drop bears are described as unusually large and vicious marsupials that inhabit treetops and attack unsuspecting people (or other prey) that walk beneath them by dropping onto their heads from above

[@nolanworkman4306]

Looks to be ganged together to make one big capacitor.

[@michalledick8281]

Mate your asmr in the past month has been outstanding. I have watched each episode several times, because you are putting me to sleep. Not because you are boring or nothing at all like that. I watch your videos because the calm me down, (ptsd) It is such a pleasure to get to watch you.

[@Kalashnikova762by39]

We need to get a petition started to outlaw flathead screws worldwide.

[@iandrew6347]

As well Poz drives make all screws a Allan key type then you would get a all round purchase on the screw

[@johnfarrow5873]

31:46 The birds are telling you you're late for their snack.

[@bigstackD]

Indeed 👍🏻. I love the way the magpies come around when I’m melting and I don’t even notice they’re there until I hear them whistling and singing behind me ! .Now as crazy as it might sound, I gave them a big feed of cat biscuits and I put the little bit that was left in the bag up on the bench, and then about 15 minutes later the crow came and took the bag of cat biscuits off the bench and flew away with it!!! I can’t prove it in any way apart from the fact I saw him flying off with it !! the cheeky little bugger. I wish I had it on film but unfortunately it’s my word against his if I ever have to take the crows to court👍🏻. And I’ve heard some pretty crazy stories in court, and who the hell is gonna believe a crow stole my cat biscuits off the bench in a sealed bag 😳

[@johnfarrow5873]

@@bigstackD Never fear good sir I believe you I have no doubt the crow would do that I've had things stolen from me when I was in Australia by the ibis when I was at Australia zoo so it would not surprise me at all. And if I could make a recommendation if you want to catch something like that again you should install a wireless camera on the corner of the work area one of the outdoor ones and then you can catch things like that and use them in your videos just a suggestion

[@eyetok_alot]

i think it would be fun to watch if you find an old enigine from a car. A complete one, take it appart, starter, dynamo, alu head, and maybe alu block, and melt and mix everything that melts. See what comes from that.

LOL Australia is something out of a Dr. Suess book!

[@gumbymf5027]

5:54. To answer your question. (12 year ac tradesman). Capacitors. Usually filled with mineral oil and I think wax paper with some kind of metal. Not 100% sure on what metal but 100% mineral oil in each. Also, thank you for making vids. Keep up the great work. Respect.

[@gaspode42able]

Thankfully they have the discharge resistor across the terminals to keep them safe. Without that, those can keep a charge almost forever and could be dangerous in the wrong situation. The capacitors appear to be 3 x 8 uF in parallel which is 24 uF at a 440V rating and could give you a bit of a surprise if not discharged. The resistor is a 6.8K (blue - 6, grey - 8, red - x100 = 6800 = 6.8k) probably a 2 watt (hard to tell exactly) which is to slowly discharge the capacitors once power is removed.

[@gaspode42able]

From what I could dig up, the Ducon GPM series is a paper-electrolyte capacitor so apart from the can, there's likely no melt-ables inside and may even possibly contain PCB ( polychlorinated biphenyls) so best leave them intact. www.nepc.gov.au/sites/default/files/2022-09/anzecc-gl-identification-pcb-containing-capacitors-information-booklet-electricians-and-electrical.pdf

[@ArtemkaPannat]

Video watched start to finish, ads watched through and allowed to time-out, all I have to do is wait until next Friday for my next melting fix ... I am not addicted, I can stop anytime I want, I just don't want to .. *scratches clicking finger

[@YukonTV]

I cannot thank you enough for ditching the hot rod sounds when you drive. Thank you thank you.

[@bigstackD]

No problems mate it will come back in to play but only to annoy my friends. it won’t ever come back again with any more Can crushing. I can guarantee you that. I had quite a few comments about people saying I should’ve left it out which is completely right. I just put it all together and then didn’t even think to delete the sound, but again, it’s just a piss off a couple of my buddies for reasons I’ve said before, but no point getting into it now👊🏻😁🍻🍻.

[@andymitts251]

It's amazing how carefully you were able to remove all that varnish. And making the aluminum crucible-ready was some magnificent workmanship.

[@ismellburning8492]

6:00 those are capacitors. Think of them as batteries that you can charge with electricity at any speed, slow or fast, and then discharge them at any speed (slow or fast), sort of like a bucket of water. Inside they are full of oil, comonly they use mineral oil, but the old ones can contain oil with pcbs (which are carcenogenic). Sometimes the housing is aluminium, and inside is a roll of paper and steel foil, which is the actual part that stores the current.

[@Iliketurtles12121]

but dont try to take them apart untill you are sure those are discharged, given how old they are, it is likely that they are but it is a good idea to double check

[@user-jo5le4og6n]

Mmm not filled with oil. You are thinking AC can transformers (old ones did have PCBs). A capacitor is a sandwich made up of two sheets of material separated by an insulator. Charge accumulates on the surfaces. Some cylindrical capacitors are made with oiled paper as the insulator but the oiling is just to facilitate wrapping process. Anyway likely nothing useful for major melting inside the beasties 😊 EDIT: I misspoke! Some older power capacitors are oil filled like transformers. Now I want to see what’s inside…

[@ismellburning8492]

@user-jo5le4og6n search oil capacitor into google. They are defiantly a thing, often used as motor start at resonate capacitors in microwaves or other devices in conjunction with a transformer
