Scrap Yard Salvaging - Bulk Bars - ASMR Metal Melting - Triple Melt Trash To Treasure - BigStackD
Off to the scrapyard today for something interesting. I have absolutely no idea what this is but it was friggen heavy at I think 27kgs (mostly steel unfortunately) but it had a fair bit of interesting metals inside from Copper Aluminum Brass and even a heap of Silver contacts and Gold pins. Another long one today so get comfy and relax but most importantly have a happy safe weekend and I hope to see you all next Friday👌😁.

Scrap Yard Salvaging - Bulk Bars - ASMR Metal Melting - Triple Melt Trash To Treasure - BigStackD
Another super long one today guys and gals so you'll need to sit back with two drinks instead of one. Haven't been to the scrapyard for awhile so drove down there to find something interesting. I'm not exactly sure what it is so let me know if you know . A heap of ingots from it and some other bits and pieces. A Triple melt today hence the extra long video. So sit back relax take it easy and I'll see you beautiful people next Friday. And have an awesome weekend😀👋🏻.
Love from India❤️❤️ Really like your videos alot🤗 Can you plzz do a big skull meltdown once again?
i love your vids n im getting french bulldog my self
Liar liar budgie smugglers on fire!. you had you hands on this piece of weirdness for over a year! I thought I was going nuts, Déjà vu or something. kzhead.info/sun/f6dydNl9aV9-rH0/bejne.html your video from April 22nd 2022 20 secs in.
the weather looks crappy you must have got it before we got it in Victoria because it's bloody cold here now it has to be cold for me to light my fire how many acres you on up there you need a cow or something nothing like growing your own food I can't remember the name of the person but there is somebody on KZhead the turns silver into blocks he does gold as well I know a couple of the chemicals he uses he uses bleach and sulphuric acid I think or hydrochloric acid something like that if you can get the hang of that you have all those circuit boards there you would be able to retrieve the gold off them that would be a real treasure
Love watching your videos. I like just the ambient sounds and no unnecessary music or talking. The subtitles are perfect. I don’t sleep much due to chronic pain so these videos are always a welcome when I see them in the middle of the night in the US. Are you going to do some Nordic Gold again soon?
If anyone was wondering that gel looking stuff he played around with is called seal-gard it’s designed to seal sensitive electronics dirt and moisture so that component is most likely the control center of the whole thing
Looked like a three-phase SCR/triac to me, which would be used for high-current AC mains switching and/or phase control. Probably part of a motor speed controller of some manner. The real control center of the thing was probably the big IC on the first circuit board, which was some sort of digital signal processor (DSP) from Texas Instruments.
Yup we have that on some of our welders at work. Problem is that if the gel is compromised in some way the whole system is pretty much screwed
I was working in the appliance industry when they started putting computer boards in their machines and I'd see that gel all the time on refrigerator boards because the moisture inside refrigerators would take them out. Eventually someone got the bright idea to put the boards on the back of the refrigerators and run the wires through the box.
Thank you for that information
Thank you for that information
Got my Dad into watching your videos. We are slowly working through them watching one or two a night. My Dad enjoys your motor melts best because he enjoys the tearing down process of them
Me too
That's so awesome! My dad's a piece of shit.
@@blu6646 😂😂😂😂😂 AHH man your killing me.😂
@@blu6646 Samee bro mines a deadbeat tours?
My dad found his videos after I got into scrapping and won’t stop bothering me about it
Two things I will NEVER get sick of watching: Molten copper freezing in the mold, and hot aluminum tearing like wet cardboard in the crucible. Thank you for providing wonderful shots of both today, bigD.
I think it is more like chocolate than cardboard.
@@yglitzer Both fit. It's beautiful either way, and thanks for the love, bigstackD!
Your editing skills are first rate!🤣 I loved that flash picture of Bouillon.🤣🤣
I think its ingot. His face looks lighter than bullion.
I went back and paused it 🐶
Yes the below comment is correct it is actually Ingot👍🏻
That aluminum thing with two terminals is a power resistor. Pretty harmless inside. Usually something like sand or similar. For large caps like you had, short the terminals with a piece of scrap metal to make sure theyre discharged.
I hate it when I forget about a steak I left on a shelf behind a storage bin. I do love the way you were so concerned with a sanitary way to lay that steak on the griddle by holding it with plastic,,,,,,right after bathing it in driveway runoff. Love the content - thanks for sharing!
With the name Grundfos on one component it’s safe to say part of that box design is a pump controller. Likely it did more, but Grundfos is one of the big players in fluid transfer.
Oh wow what a throw back with the $100 furnace lighting
Real ones remember 😄
He has begun travelling in a mirror dimension with that Jeep.
I was thinkin the same😂
Is the jeep new? I always thought he drove a benz
That dog timer comes from another dimension where time holds no meaning
No, it's just that doggos cause time dilation effects to occur.😂
Watching that tear-down was like a treasure hunt in itself. Was surprised you didnt do a whole segment of your video, kicking off your shoes, socks, beer, salute. No matter, it was still an awesome video! Have a great weekend!
The journey to 1000 KGS has been pretty interesting, and rather entertaining. I can only imagine what’s in store when you hit that goal. Here’s to binging your vidis, 🍻 Cheers.
My 10yr old likes watching your videos with me. He finds your disassembly process highly entertaining and I like it because he can talk and ask as many questions as he wants throughout the video without interrupting anyone. 😊 Cheers!
At 28:44 . One of my old dads favourite sayings was "In god we trust... all others strictly cash" . I love the vids with a good teardown of old machinery or electrical stuff. Great work mate.👍
I always feel so satisfied to see those metal melt and flow.
I absolutely love the sound of the rain hitting the roof while you was working. I caught the flash picture of Ingot. ❤😊 Thank you for your videos. They help more than you know. Keep on being awesome 👍😎💯
7:26 wondered who else caught that!
the aluminium pours are my favorite. It is simply beautiful.
I loooove those long doggo seconds....
That one looked fun to take apart. The insides were not what I was expecting.
Love all your videos! I learned so much from you. Love the dogs, too! So cute. Your new home is beautiful!
this was the most satisfying video you've made so far. loved the disassembly, the rain, and the birdsong, very relaxing
👊🏻😁
Please never apologize for the "extra long break down." For some of us, that's the best part! My "gun-to-the-head" bet, based on the MASSIVE copper coil, plus TWO cooling fans and that big aluminum radiator, as well as what looked like a couple of hefty capacitors, is you broke down a high-powered transformer or control module, either subordinate to some other industrial process, or a stand-alone rig. You're also either lucky or careful and smart you didn't get hurt. Who knows how long that device had been waiting? Old capacitors have been known to bite. My other guess is you already know how to check for charge with something other than a wet finger.
Birds love to sing after it rains. I think it's just their way of saying "Hey, storm's over and I'm still here!" Not surprised you had an entire chorus going once the rain had stopped 😂 Love when you disassemble a big thing like this, probably my favorite kind of video of yours 👍
It’s 4am EST in Detroit right now and I have insomnia tonight and couldn’t have been more happy to see the notification for this upload. Hello and Good Morning Bigstackd and doggies from the 313 🤓
insomnia knows no boundaries hello to you down there i'm going through the same thing up here in upper peninsula of michigan hello from the 906
drive down to Lafayette and grab a coney
@@martywollner4128 i like american coney island best :@) have a great day sorry i missed this comment until today
That's just how birds are, they always make all kinds of racket after a good rain.
Man, some serious design and engineering went into whatever that thing was!
Excited so see what's in store for the 1 tone celebration video. I feel like I remember watching these back in the .45 tone time frame and they've really gotten quite excellent. Happy to see you've almost reached your goal.
SO LUCKY THOSE GIANT CAPS DID NOT BLOW YOUR HANDS OFF! Those things were the size of fosters cans. I really like your content. please dont die!
Capacitors? Do you think they still have a charge?
I thought the same thing, be careful of those caps. no way to know if they have charge until you discharge them (intentionally or not💀)
@@dave_in_florida that big (freakin massive) they could, indefinitely. from severely painful to instantly fatal. just touch both posts and you got wings and a harp. thats what the "kill you inside" sticker was warning about, at least in part
@@save-scum even a partial charge would scramble your eggs pretty good.
Why fosters?😢 VB, Carlton Draft, Great Northern and even XXXX Gold are better beers
I really like that you are pulling "junk" from the salvage yard and spending the time and energy to separate it into valuable parts and then rubbish. Makes me want to do this when I retire for real in a few years.
Thanks for being kind to that scarab beetle. That family of beetles is one of my favorite insects
It's a Thermodactyl Biristor. It came out of a Rockwell B-Series Retro-Encabulator. It is essentially Tri-Directional coupler, but the advantage is that it's forward compatible with the latest series turbo encabulators.
Sounds like something chief O'Brian would be working on inside Deep Space Nine.
Scotty, translation please
Is that the one for the sprung-driven cam axis simul-casting bi-rotary anti-fraggle pins in a tri-motionary configuration to suppress the techno-drivel verbiage of the predecessary encabulators, with the notoriously confounding, at-one-time-ubiquitous limitations manifested by the close proximity of the quadratronic trexlinators when juxtaposed with the primary encabulatory node (i.e. poor-quality encabulation, loud whirring, etc.).
Those are made of pre-famulated amulite! Good luck melting that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
21kgs to go..! Mad, can't wait to see what you cast to cross the threshold :-D
Or what he does with it.
BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤, have a nice and great week end!!! Thank you for your videos!!! THANK YOUUU
Very nice 3-phase pump controller. The control board is a Texas Instruments TMS320 24Cx microprocessor with digital signal processing functions, RAM, ROM and some communications I/O. The secondary board also has a smaller microcontroller and the relays and mega 1500uF electrolytic capacitors are expensive - $50 a pop. Great choice to recycle! Not that old either.
If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that's a variable frequency drive unit for controlling a motor. Edit: I saw the brand Grundfos. They manufacture pumps (I have several in the boiler room of my house for our heating system), so a VFD sounds likely.
My guess is a container for surplus screws! Looked like a couple hundred of them.😜
Feckin' Sparky here, and yeah, with caps that big, it pretty much can only be a VFD. Gonna guess the tan-colored module right next to the caps is the IGBT.
Now that you mention it, I think you're right. I just had one replaced on one of the buildings I manage, and it wasn't a small job. The one we put in was about 700 lbs, so this one was pretty small. But VFD is probably likely.
The rain in the background of the teardown just Made my day
Hi BigstackD you are my Australian Idol respect from Czech Republic
I'm from the U.S. But does anyone else wait excitedly when he shows the temperature? When i see 110°F....oh lord no. 58° F and rain, good day to watch a film and snuggle with the pups.
That melted heatsink was divine, always reminds me of terminator 2! I'm glad you don't get criticism for taking every tiny little bit of brassy or coppery goodness like some of us round here 😂 That was lovely to watch, perfect hospital viewing to distract me while Benny is sleeping 👍 I must have missed what you did with the slanted ingot?
He made one end big enough to stamp 🙂🧡
Thanks I did not get that so it helps
@@medicbabe2ID oh, yes, thanks, obvious now you say it, my mind went to some form of elaborate ingot stacking system 😂
I thought it was going to be one of the most expensive doorstops ever 😂
@@JFed-9 a solid copper door stopper
You could always add dilute nitric acid to the silver contacts. The silver in them would go into solution as silver nitrate and and be taken out by adding metallic copper. The copper would replace the silver nitrate in solution and precipitate out and you'd have your silver. The only problem is this method doesn't easily recover the copper used. You'd have to do the same sort of thing again with a more active metal (e.g. Aluminium) which would form aluminium nitrate in solution and give you your copper metal back. There may be other ways, but that's the simplest I can think of.
that disassembling part with the rain in background
Man you gotta check the connecting pins on those circuit boards. 99% of the time the connection pins on those cuircut boards are made of 24 carrot gold. I dismantled a massive control panel to be scrapped and we got almost a 1/4 lb of gold from the pins.
For half a year I've been wondering how many buckets BigStack has in his shed? Probably all of them! And now you're sorting into washbowls! 😂😂😂 Great, something new in every video! Greetings from Austria the land without kangaroos!
Hey D. Looks like that's a 3-phase inverter you pulled apart (since you were wondering what the box was) :)
I was thinking the same thing but wasn't sure
My guess is a variable frequency drive unit
@@techtastisch7569 VSD. due that board with the gel
BigStack beetle-saver… 😉🤙🏼
Love that rain and asphalt flavoring...
Always a treat to watch on Friday's!
Nice melt this week D! Although, I didn't see the explanation for the wedge shaped copper bar ;) Have a good weekend mate.
Yes you did - you just didn't realize it. He needed the thick end of the wedge to stamp the CU logo into the bar.
@@rockman531 well there you go! Thanks man
@@rockman531 Thank you so much, I was about to ask too
Cheers for the super thank Tony your a champ. Safe riding matey . How far have you gone so far?
@@bigstackD At the time of my original comment I had been home for 3 days. Total distance travelled 8,900 km. Been editing videos ever since!
Yeah! That's it! Start with the copper! Brighten up that cold Greater Perthylvanian autumn morn with a little propane fired sunshine! Ain't no redder sunrise!
Awesome melt nice brass bar and copper and aluminum bar's thanks for sharing bigstackd
Coffee, check. Joint, check. Breakfast, check. Bigstackd on Friday morning, check! ❤
How does the scrap yard work? Do you pay by weight, by item, by materiel etc?
Scrap yard melts are awesome. It’s entertaining just watching the stuff getting pulled apart before the melting starts
Loved the "Level Complete"! Got a chuckle out of me.
Sewer lift pump controller/actuator
Fun fact- I believe the beetle that you saved was a female dung beetle (a general guess, feel free to specify if you know!). Super important for the environment, thanks for saving the little lady :)
I think you are right, the male has some horns, i think it is called rhinoceros beetle
@@lihueblanco4683 Rhinoceros beetles and dung beetles are different beetles
@@fieryvale ohh okay, i will have to learn more about thanks
I thought Dung Beetles only lived in Africa.
@@Waaagh40KRed That is incorrect. They live just about everywhere.
Beautiful video. I am always impressed by what you find at the scrap to tear down.
My Father would have Appreciated the whole "Waist Not, Want Not" Attitude...Great Stuff!
Sensacional 👏👏👏👏👏👍🇦🇺🇧🇷🍻
Quick question: The items you pick up at the scrap yard, do they let you have them free, or do you have to pay for them? Great video!!! Edit: Another question: After seeing that you're left with several different metals to melt, do you have a set order on how to melt them (like the harder to melt to the easiest to melt), or does having an order not make any difference?
Yea also interested in this question
Unless he knows someone, my guess is he pays scrap metal rate.
I hear these sound relaxing, alongside the rain. Thank you for all these melting videos, really nice and relaxing to watch. Also great to see useful comments explaining things about the gear found in the scrap yard
Another awesome video yes those were gold plated pins thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
979KGS Down, 21KGS to go!!!! 👍👍👍 20 plus KGS to go, man! Let's see if we can get this done by next week!!! 👍👍👍
Wow! I’m in awe of the beautiful landscape! I hope it never gets old to you! I love your videos. My favorite part is when you take things apart to gather the metals…and I just adore the love and affection you give your dogs. You are a man that appreciates life’s simple pleasures. And of course watching you pour that red hot copper isn’t bad either! Well, take care…
As a electrician in the U.K. we have lots of scrap cable and and panel boxes love watching you scrap and melt .
I love all the little details. Every time I watch your videos I cant wait to get back to stripping down the items I collect and then back to my furnace. I live in a small space so i have to use an electric furnace. I cant do the bigger stuff like you. Thank you for your videos
Great vid and I'm LOVING the rain sound in the background!
Only 17 minutes in and this is one of my favorite disassemblies ever!
Heavy rain and BSD dismantling stuff. Perfect for relaxing.
Thanks for starting the weekend off.
Excellent snack today!😊. I’ve been waiting for this melt and made sure nobody in my house bothered me while i watch it. Thanks D…you’ve made my Fridays even better with your videos. 😊😊
As a meat cutter that steak in the rain hurt my soul love your content dude inspiration every week
Sorry about the meat wash buddy but it was like nine days out of date and when I opened it up it was very funky and smelt off but after a quick wash it seemed fine and was definitely one of the best steaks I’ve had👊🏻😁
i love how the segment of bullion and ingot said it was 1 minute, but it was like 4 minutes, had to rewind it because i wanted to watch it again, but it absolutely feels like 1 minute
41:14 No!! That’s exactly what we didn’t want!! Great Save!!
Ah man, spring steel crush washers brings back really good memories
Another great melt! Looking forward to the BIG 1000 K! Thumbs up! Jim
I like how your jeep goes from right hand drive to left lol.
It's 2023 and we still need to explain how cameras work
One of your best dissemblies yet. Loved watching this with the sound of rain on your rooftop.
Normally I don't correct spelling except to annoy people who are being annoying, but I'm making an exception here because "dissembly" means putting on a false appearance, concealing facts using pretense... and I don't think you meant to call BigStackD a liar haha. It's "disassemblies"
I just love watching how you tear things apart to get everything you can out of things. the melting is just a bonus.
Two minutes 18 seconds... Your vehicle magically switches from right hand drive to left hand drive. 😂
The sound of the fan and the crucible is very relaxing. 👌🏻
Okay but 7:25 did not have to scare me like that nor make me laugh as hard as it did 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
staying up all night was beneficial this time! great to see another video from you man
I love that the puppy timer says 1 minute but actually takes 3 minutes! Love the doggie time!
AHHHHHHHHH BEST channel EVER. time with the boys is my favorite thing, bullion and ingot are just the best. and watching you do your craft D, is an awesome relaxing amazing thing you chare with us. TY so much CREATING and sharing the best content, on the best channel EVER!
Such beautiful aluminum!!!
You are so close to the 1 ton!! And what a ride it was. Best corner of the internet.
So relaxing! This is my 3rd time trying to watch this and I keep falling asleep!
Okay I saw a little of image to fight club in your vid. The color the copper get from the drain was beautiful. I am going to bed it is late so much to talk about! Have a great week! 😴
Great video once again thank you
You've got some beautiful country to look at!
Lil beetle was like hey yo u got some poo I can roll up n a ball n run down here n bury so I can let some eggs on it later on
Love your vids mate! Keep up the amazing work 😊❤
really addicted to your videos❤❤
this is the highlight of my days nowadays.
yeah, those big capacitors are very valuable
God I love these vids, nothing better to relax to
You can send that rain up here to Canada. We could really use it. Love your videos, well balanced and very entertaining.
We need it in Pennsylvania as well, the grass is so crispy, and we're constantly on fire watch.
Mmmh sweet sweet ground chop.
