  • In this video I finally make a scrap microwave video. I do it for ‪@brycewiborg8095‬ because he asked about microwaves and also because I have no life. Luckily this one was copper and a good sized transformer, too! If you like short videos about cool stuff, check out Bryce's channel.
    The microwave is a Danby Designer and it yielded a nice bit of copper, brass, aluminum, copper wire, and magnets!

    The transformer is useful for many other projects unless someone comes up with the brilliant idea to shred the wires covered with enamel in which case it becomes useless for anything but copper scraps.
    What never seizes to peeve me to no avail is the US lingo calling steel plates for tin and calling actual tin (the basic element Sn) for solder.

      @@shigatsuningen Yes, I have saved a few for people who wanted to make wood burners and spot welders, but nobody ever came and got them. I live in a remote area in northern Canada with 700-800 people, so we don't have too many people who are looking for projects like that.
      As for the tin thing, I think it is from the old days when food cans were coated with tin. Growing up, everyone called them tin cans, even though they were steel.

    Hey Chris,nice info to know. I've never broken down the math on microwaves, i might do 5-15 a year so it's not a big deal so much for me, but i love that you and Scrapitall do. I have done the math on some of the scrapping i do, but it's judt more or less my 2 nd job. Anyway, great video , can't wait for the one. Take care!

      I like seeing the math so I can prioritize if I'm short on time, but I know it's all dependent on each person and their yard.

      They do buy insulated wire. I only strip the heavy gauge wire.
      We can sell aluminum with steel screws, or rivets as breakage.
      More than steel price, and less than aluminum.
