I Melted KILOS of Aluminum

I Melted KILOS of Aluminum

Wow that was a lot of work for something that could have been solved with a utility knife and 10 minutes of time

[GATKBC]

This seems like a needlessly complicated way to get rid of a couple blocks of ice.

Взять нож и просто снять оплётку с жилы - нет.
Потратить кучу времени, электроэнергии, воды, загадить всё вокруг мелким мусором а потом жечь его вместе с металлом - ТО ЧТО НУЖНО!

Wonder how long you'll be finding aluminum splinters on your patio after that spill

[Dread-Bear]

😂That has to be the most complex process I've ever seen for removing the aluminium from that type of cable.. use a Stanley knife, it takes seconds, I've literally stripped miles of that stuff by hand

[anotherblock]

probably would have been easier and smarter to just use a razor blade to strip it probably would have been cleaner maybe even faster

[Panda_Gibs]

A fun addition to your setup may be an eddy current generator. Basically a drum covered in magnets that spins. If you run your scrap shreds over it, the plastic should drop from gravity and the aluminum will get a bit of a flicking action that can send it down a secondary chute into a separate container. Much less water waste, and less need for the drying step!

I feel like the algorithm has abandoned you but I can't get enough of this kinda stuff. I live in apartment so I live vicariously through you.

Зачем нужны 3 Шредера, если они не разделили металл от изоляции? Проще ножом срезать было, алюминий был бы гораздо чище

[kovacskovacs]

Should have manually stripped the outer rubber insulation. Electric stripper for the smaller wires inside. Much faster.

[drewbrown]

So just out of curiosity... does 37lbs of aluminum pay for all of the energy and time that goes into recovering it?... asking for a friend 😆😉

[garywebb]

I appreciate your hard work, I pored aluminum back in my younger days. My question is have they ever asked you for a test sample to determine what alloy you’ve melted down?

[danglebits]

A tip: if your wires won't go through the the wire stripper, instead of shredding them (and of course making more mess for yourself) cut the plastic casing off with a Stanley blade and THEN shred your metal once everything is stripped from the outside and the core. Honestly this way saves you alot of time and sifting.

Изначально создать себе кучу сложностей, что бы потом пытаться с ними справиться...

[LPdeltaT]

Can you share info on your smelting setup?

[CrashKingz]

New to the channel! The blue/purple flames coming off the wire coating was neat to see!

[ianroberts]

Another great video Ben well done mate

[gabrielaisea]

Me encanta el proceso de ver fundir aluminio para ver las esculturas de hormigueros, y por eso llegue a tu canal, pero cuando le agregaste sal rosada del himalaya a la olla me iba a orinar de la risa ajjajajajajaja

[TobeyMontona]

Glad i saw that dope amazing air hose siphon trick. Nice

[baptisteramiro]

I see we like to do it BigStackDCasting style over here ! Not with all this fancy equippment but with the big ice blocks and the thumbs up at any point in the video ! Nice !
