How to make gold from HDD hard disks drive old computer Original gold extraction.

Start by finding old or broken computers and separating the hard disk from these old computers.
for personal computer you may get Most only one hard drive. But if it's a computer server or corporate computer super computer Mainframes have a large number of hard drives.
Separate the IC chips from the circuit board.
For extracting gold from drive hard disks today we are going to do IC chips using gold extraction method. traditional past Which is not often seen nowadays. Some steps. I still don't understand the principle and reason. Is it a gold smelting method?
Burn IC chips to ashes.To make it easier to gold smelting.
You may pound or grind it. Then mixed with borax at a ratio of 1 to 1.
This type of furnace uses old oil for heating. It's used engine oil.
All metals are fused together. We will get metal that is mixed with gold. to take to the next step
I see workers who specialize in the work. Use cement mixed with water to re-smelt the gold alloy. I'm still wondering what this procedure is for. Or just reduce the size of the metal to a smaller size. To make it easier for nitric acid to handle these metals. and left only gold
The metal will be melted. and was poured into the water to get a smaller size as needed
Use nitric acid mixed with water 1 to 2. Boil to get rid of these metals. and will only be left with gold as an interesting step
Please understand that this is a unsafe operation. and should not be followed as a work for experts and have long experience

😱😱👉 ♻️ 💰 So What is Old IT Hardware Worth?
There are three ways that a retired device can find value in a new life: resale of the whole device, resale of its parts, or resale of the material once it has been shredded. The path that any given device takes depends on its condition, how modern its components are, storage and RAM capacity, and other factors.

If a device is truly end-of-life, it will be destroyed in bulk with similar devices, and the separated recyclable materials will be sold as scrap for manufacturing. That would include any precious metals in the device – but those will make up only a miniscule fraction of the original weight.

Scrap commodities are traded by weight, and an 8-lb laptop or 25-lb monitor may only contain a few grams of precious metals at most. The majority of a device’s weight comes from less valuable material like plastic and glass.

A scrapped, shredded laptop might end up being worth about $10 per pound of material, maybe more if it is an older device and contains more gold. Newer-generation devices typically contain less gold as advancements in technology and efforts to reduce production costs have pushed tech manufacturers to design thinner, lighter, less resource-intensive units.
Electronic wastes (e-wastes) refer to abandoned electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). E-waste contains significant concentration of gold which is 10 times more than its concentration in gold ores. It approximately contains 10–10, 000 g of gold/ton, whereas the gold ore contains barely 0.5–13.5 g of gold/ton. In this chapter, insights on the importance of precious metal recovery (PMR) from e-waste are emphasized. Also, an overview of various technologies available to recover precious metals from e-waste

Using cement is a very old refining technique called cuppelation. When the chips were initially smelted lead was added into the mix. Lead has an affinity for precious metals so when it melted it collected all of the gold and silver present into its alloy. The cement is used as a cupel. When the lead alloy reaches a certain temperature it oxidizes to letharge along with all of the other base metals. The cement cannot absorb the molten metal, but it can absorb the metal oxides drawing them out of the rest of the metal. Do this long enough and the only metal left behind will be the precious metals. I really enjoyed this video. I love watching using traditional old technology used to process our modern technology. Thank you making this one 👍

....the things we do for money, very humbling and very impressive at the same time. All the best to you lads

[tmargosian]

Remember your safety....always wear flip flops when smelting. Very important!

[kenosabi]

While dangerous its quite impressive to see humans working with whatever material they have. Dude in the video has probably been doing this kind of work for decades. (I'm guessing cause bros hands were RUGGED) .

Props to all the humans out there just making it work.

[Smiggers]

And here I was just burning cds when I should have burned the whole computer!

[saltedsir]

Most people here just hating on a man for doing what he can with the resources he has, ya'll stay hating out here

[juan]

What is unsetteling is the fact that these guys work with molten metal in sandals

[VenturiLife]

Plot twist. There was $220M USD of Bitcoin on those hard drives.

[TexasScratchMan]

Wow thats amazing. Ive seen plenty of videos of people using actual forging equiptment, but never have seen someone do it the original way! Hats off to these guys. That 1 day of work is worth more than what most make in a week!

Imagine one of those HD has lost btc coins let's say 10, 000 btc lol

5:10 This is a procedure called, "cupelling." The plaster dish is called a cupel. The alloy is heated to a temp where the metal melts, then to about 1750 degrees F, at which point, metal oxides form, and rise to the surface, and are shed off the edges, absorbed by the cupel. As more and more of the metals oxidize, the oxides are absorbed, and the button shrinks. Finally, all the common metals are oxidized, and only the noble metals (gold, palladium, silver, etc) remain. All copper, lead, tin, iron have been oxidized and their oxides absorbed into the plaster cupel.

These guys made it look so easy, I think I'm gonna try this in my backyard today..

[saturn_dev]

First step - cook the chips then add some fish and serve hot...mmm :)

[thegreendank]

I see they have the proper safety shoes on along with proper ventilation for the melted plastic fumes.

[davidgunther]

Roasting the plastic chip packages might make a lot of poisonous fumes, especially if the plastic is fire retardant.
There is a lot of dissolved copper they're pouring off in that blue water from the nitric acid.

This seems like very traditional gold mining techniques applied to a new type of ore.
More recent electronic waste has much more silver in it from all the silver solder.

[technico]

Techinique is not the safest, yet it is to the point. Thank you for sharing.👏👏👏 👍

[penskib]

I like the safety flip-flops they look very lightweight.

[The-sound-of-silence]

Thanks for the video.
I've around 30 HDDs, I think I'll give it a shot.

[deepconscious]

One thing is for certain : These guys will die rich very young.
And so was their story.
