The Final Burn! Pulling Copper Out Of Cooked Generator Stators & Rotors Pt 4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- In today's video I finish pulling the copper out of the massive rotors and stators. I took some work but we got all the copper out,. This was a learning process, I now know what upgrades need to be done to make the process more effective & efficient.

What’s #2 bringing down south?
Get EVERYTHING!!! Leave NOTHING behind!!! That's my motto.
😂😂😂
That Stater Wrecker is one Bad Mama-Jama…
Good job Derek and Steve, keep up the great work and love your videos
Thank you!
Finally you got the cobber out. So many videos, for this cobber!
I shot it in real time so It was like 4 hours long I had to cut it up.
WOW 4 hours? That' would be a long video 😀Would have loved the video anyway!

lot of hard work pays off
Thanks
That thing made you earn it for sure
Yes it did. lol
Love the free music, I was looking at the idea of the compressor hammer doing jack shit
😂😂😂
42:08 so satisfying.
Yo, thank god you got that tool balancer
It helps so much. lol
Really been enjoying watching the stator wrecker hope you do more
Thanks, will have more soon.
Nice pistons!
👍👍👊👊
great video 2 in 24hrs great job
Thanks
I wasnt expecting another video today! Great suprise and video bro
Thanks
That big stator was def a battle. Yes I agree with what you said that faster hydraulics will make a huge difference. This prototype wreaker was a great learning process. Next generation Wreaker 2.0 will great. 💪🏻
Thanks, Got the mill running so now I will be making some of the coolest machines.
Nice man!
Going well just in time for the holidays nice job 😊😅😂
Thanks
Try putting your air hammer on the end up your puller for better impact
Thanks for the suggestion
Could try a portable band saw cut to below the copper all the way around pull the copper from both sides hi everyone from northwest Missouri Merry Christmas and a happy new year be safe ❤❤
Thanks for the suggestion, Happy holidays to you as well
You might have viewer who is familiar with the various coating on the copper coils. In the assembly factory the coils are obviously in a prefabricated state then the entire unit is press fit ? Freezing might be a solution?
Btw when your flame cutting and it’s dripping hot alloy.Hot molten alloy and water Do Not mix. Explosive. Just be aware, Maybe you know that. Keep it guys.
Yes I knew that I did not want it to damage the floor.

Thank you!

@@ProjectShopFl stater wrecker + granulator = Destruction!
@@shannonjanes2434 😂😂😂 👍
man you got the cooper guillotine dialed tf in ! 🔥
It's gonna get way better.
I use a 4 foot Torch to take those apart with propane, and it's cheaper to uses
Thanks for the suggestion
that machine is killing it on getting that copper out i dont know about burning it but if it works ok,thanks for the great videos your putting out and i see the millis running to thanks for shareing
Thanks for watching 👊👍
I know that back in 2011 the state of Texas passed a law that said the scrap yards could nolonger buy burnt copper and they could not buy cut up A/C units anymore and that was to help cut down on the stealing of copper and A/C units.
I think it's the same here in Florida. lol
The mad scientists hard at work 👍
😂😂😂 👍
love it
Thanks!
If you cut some slits in that copper ring that you guys have left then you won't be pulling the whole ring at once. Keep up the great work 🤙🏾
Thanks for the suggestion
Yes that's what I was thinking 6 relief cuts in the copper ring around the clock face if you get me, it's all very fascinating though
And not to mention you should grind off the back of the jaws and grind the jaws thinner as well ! So you can get in the tighter spots to pull out the windings !
Thanks for the suggestion
In the refrigerator compressors have copper in them to have cut them open
Thanks for the suggestion
Even after splitting them the epoxy they pour over the copper is going to give you problems.
Wonder if a plasma cutter has enough beans to heat the surrounding steel.
Possibly , I've been wanting a plasma cutter might be a good excuse to get one. lol
Dude that is awesome. But it was binding on top where you have it held. I think it mashes it down just enough. To keep it from pulling out. Otherwise you got it all at once.
I was not squeezing it as hard as you think.
Hard work. Like the press. Have you considered a removable fence to go down in front of the material and maybe a safety chain around the press frame and your puller jaws. That thing could be deadly.
Thanks for the suggestion
You really need to weld a turn buckle on the handles of the stator wrecker puller to get a better hold on the copper to pull it it out for sure !! That will
Probably cut down on your processing time no doubt !!
Thanks for the suggestion
The numatic cylinder needs a blunt end so it pushes , not a chisel.
Thanks for the suggestion
Before I have cut those AC pressers apart before there is copper inside of them and aluminum
Thanks for the suggestion
Grind off the back of the puller jaws as if they were a hammer claw
Thanks for the suggestion
When pulling you may need to switch sides back and forth to keep it from binding
yes
Thanks for the suggestion
@@ProjectShopFl you are welcome
Very cool 😎 reafirms my belief that motors are decently worth the time. I would love to get my hands on a couple bis ass motors the most I have gotten was 7 lbs out of an ac comp..... bravo
Thanks! 👊
Love the content brotha!! So relaxing to watch you strip copper and having fun while doing it! Just wondering if you ever posted the ticket from all the recovery you had? Enjoy the new year!
It was multiple tickets I think I posted one.
add about a foot of chain to the clevis with a sharpened trailer hook on the end so you can hook on to the coils as another option to the tool!!!
Thanks for the suggestion
Wonder if a liquid nitrogen bath would break the glue bond 😅
I like that idea. lol
@ProjectShopFl you know what would work well dipping lighting ballast in liquid nitrogen after the steal is removed the black gunk would shatter off?
Take your cooked copper and soak it in vinegar. It'll clean right up.
Thanks for the suggestion
Are you keeping tabs on how much comes off these big ones? Just wonder how much is in them. The copper is huge from the center part.
Nevermind just watch a little more and you talking and got the answer.
I should have kept better track they were all missing the ends.
You need like a bobcat hydraulic pump and system
Thanks for the suggestion
I don’t know anything about this stuff other than watching you videos. I feel that you need to swing that hammer with the pointed end more when the copper does not come out. We went through the entire video and i don’t remember seeing the hammer. “When in doubt beat it out”. Steve uses that wimpy air gun. Swing the hammer
When I am done with the machine I will not need the hammer or the air gun.
I just took in 1100 lbs in chucky cheese tokens in Tampa and got $85
😂😂😂 Wow!
hey ithink i know what you need logging TONGS THAY GOT A POINT AND THAY WILL PULL LIKE THETING YOUGOT
Thanks for the suggestion
Did your yard accept that burnt copper as number two?
Yes!
there's too many easy ways to clean burnt copper to be concerned with them not buying it, few bucks at the dollar store on some white vinegar does wonders
Thanks for the suggestion
😮❤❤
👍👍👍
For wire should I be paying the same or less than the scrap yard if less how much less
Depends on your situation. I always try and match local market prices but I also sell to the same place as the scrap yards. If you can get away with paying less go for it, but you don't want to have your customers getting pissed you under paid so its tricky. Good luck
Hey i have seen the perfect machine for you on you tube for dismanteling your generator it is interesting job on UA-cam i dont now how to share the video sorry about that
Email it to me Projectshopfl@gmail.com
So for copper that's burnt and/or has glue or whatever on it how do they work out the price compared to "pure" copper coming out of cable? do they have a set lower price?
It's considered number two copper, which is copper with either solder or glue on it.
Yes it's called #2 copper. You have Bare Bright then #1 copper then #2 copper. Some places even have a #3 all have different prices.
Yeah I know bunin sux , but sometimes u gotta... u can loose up to 30% of your weight from burning as well... which makes it suck even more!!! Hahahah
I won't be burning I the future
what y'all got going on with that small block?
Thats Steve's hot rod engine.
Please don't burn more of them :)
I wonder if a meat hook at the end of the hydraulic ram could get the stubborn copper to move when the beak can't get in there?
I don't plan on burning any more
What is this copper considered number one or number two? What is the difference?
#2 copper
A deeper throat a.😂😂😂
😂😂😂
1st
👍👊
Hey Dude, why is 6063 aluminum worth more than 1100 aluminum? Isn’t all aluminum aluminum ? Thanks, I am totally hooked on your videos, keep em coming.
There are different alloys some some are worth more.
is it bad that I put your videos on in the back ground
No I appreciate it 👊👍
I do that too sometimes. It gives Derek the views.
Anyone know the song at the beginning?
"R&B vibes" from Mixkit.co
First
👊 👍
i bet you're glad to be rid of those.
Yes , but now I need more. lol
I'm real curious about what the scrap yard says about that burnt copper. Hope you didn't waste your time, for nothing. I know all yards are different.
#2 copper all day
most of your profit is going on time and labor
Thanks for the info
you know or knew it or your going to know it you own it get what I mean your ball your game your field@@ProjectShopFl
@@ProjectShopFl😂😂
Tim from Canada watching your videos and you are having problems with your.. jaws of life they’re trying to pull out your copper plugs.. if your jaws or bigger, and a little longer, you might be able to get some more power but you were using a small pair of jaws to do a big work invest in a bigger pair of jaws for your work you were not getting the power you need because you were using a small pair of jaws on your motor mounts. He seems to be buying an off a lot of scrap maybe invest some of that money into new tools you sell and buy and buy and sell. Try to buy some tools that is going to help you and your work your next big paycheque go somewhere see if they have the equipment you need, when you are using for equipment to do your work, you were losing time and money? On these jobs if you invest a little bit of money in your work for whatever work you do said a little bit of money aside each time you go to the scrapyard five or 10% of your take home you do this five or six times if you get some good money, then you can invest in some good tools
Thanks for the suggestion
No SUBTITLES 😭
Sorry
Can't see what your doing clean your table it is easier to follow wats going on thanks.
