Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to an awesome Copper haul today. Thanks to my mate who had this put aside for me and to get a Motor of this size for free is just mind-boggling. Well over 20 kg added to the stack today of beautiful, shiny, clean Copper so sit back relax. Enjoy the video and have yourself an absolutely awesome weekend.👋🏻😆

Did the people that owns it give it to you for free (the people at the junk yard or was it a friend?

At 23:46 You might want to have those white fibers tested for Asbestos. "Asbestos was commonly added to wire insulation and electric motors to protect against overheating and prevent fires. While the asbestos in these products was generally encased inside, users could be exposed if the products were opened, such as during repairs." Most likely, the insulation is NOT asbestos, unless the motor is a class F or class H motor.

In America, we have banned asbestos....... and it's still being made and used in hundreds of products in use today globally.

I was thinking it was fiberglass added to strengthen the resin coating on the wire like how you make a boat. Maybe something done due to the extreme weight of the motor for stability. The resin burned off but fiberglass doesn’t melt outside of a furnace so it was left behind.

I live in the US but if you go to like Las Vegas area and its like 100F degrees and like low low humidity and it dont feel to bad. Now i live in New England area and in the summer when its 90 out, the humidity will be crazy high and just sucks. you walk 10 feet and your dripping sweat and the air is just wet, morning dew never dries up. I would take the dry heat any day.

@@incredible5587 The majority of people don't know what the dew point and wet bulb temperatures are. Dew point is the temperature that when reached as a low, water will condensate. It is dependent on the air temperature and humidity. The wet bulb temperature is the temperature that results on a black bulb that is wet with the sun shining on it. It's the cooling effect temperature reached due to the evaporation of the water on the surface. Dew point gives you an indication about how the temperature and humidity feel like, the wet bulb temperature shows when it gets DEADLY if it's reaching close to your body temperature. Humidity is much more important than the temperature in summer!

What a grind you had this time! Damage to your asphalt, your poor sledgehammer, unexpected asbestos, a spy plane trying to scope out your secret base, and a rodent squatter. I always look forward to new videos on your channel. Thanks for the great content! 🙂

That was an awesome melt Big D! Those bars look epic! A good idea with the shade cloth is to put a spring on the front 2 corners. It will stop the corners tearing when its windy. Trampoline springs work great! Have a good weekend brother.

Be very cautions of that white insulation fibre in the slots. Older large motors (pre 1999 in UK, not sure of Oz rules) sometimes used asbestos, which can cause serious long-term damage to the lungs.

Absolutely. He's much kinder to field mice than I am, too. When the field near my home was dug up for a strip mall, they chased the mice into my neighborhood by the thousands. It took weeks to get them out, but not before they'd ruined ALL the electrical wiring and pooped everywhere. The house had to be gutted and rebuilt, so we sold it.

Thanks for a great melt. Get a few cold ones and enjoy the weekend. Give the boys a hug.

Thank you for your fantastic videos. Really motivates me to keep melting scrap into clean raw bars of Brass, Aluminum, Lead, Zinc, Silver, and Copper..keep it up, as we learn a lot from you...

The difference in personality between Ingot and Bullion is hilarious. Beautiful copper melt there Mr Stack!

These molds gets outstanding results by giving the bars wonderful texture. Nice job !

Yesss another copper video! My favorite, I’m sure the breakdown of the motor was laborious!

I love bigstackeD casting videos they're one of the few channels where I'm able to watch watch their hour long videos straight and when I'm doing stuff alone and I don't want to listen to music I would listen to his videos as background sound because for some reason I like it more + he gets more watch time And when I mean listen I mean sort of watch and because I have my iPad standing up so I can look at it whenever I want

This is seriously the best YT channel ever. Whenever I see something made of copper or aluminum, I always fondly remember that there is a guy out there somewhere on the opposite side of Earth in Australia who enjoys this activity and his YT videos are making him a lot of money!!! Greetings from the Czech Republic 😉

Kinda didn't miss the ice quench!!!! The ledenfrost effect is rather awesome to see, and isn't as noticeable on the ice block!!!!! Kool to see the ingot sit there for a few seconds, seemingly not doing anything, then violently boiling, in jus a few seconds!!!!

So much copper😍. I would’ve never guessed how much copper was there. That’s way more then I expected

Amazing skills backing up that short trailer. Short ones are always such a pain to back up!

It's nice to see you appear full body in a video for a change. Nice copper haul! And I love the cooling effect on the thin bar at 40:29!

Oh, and I was thinking about 20 kg initially, so I wasn't as far off as I'd thought. Maybe watching your vids all these years now has given me a better eye for estimating? 😂

Always great videos, I’ve been a fan for a long time !

I’m guessing around 75 lbs of copper.. I used to watch your channel all the time about a year ago and then I got into crochet.. Went down that rabbit hole.. Now I’m back for my favorite metal ASMR guy!! I missed all of your shenanigans!!

Can we just be amazed by the way bigstack backed up that trailer 😮

I like that you listen to classical music while you drive to pick up your treasures 😊

I must say, I love copper way too much, and I literally have a collection building up because it is the best metal ever.

I love the copper pours… they are so clean. Such a pretty metal. 😊

Love how the copper goes from burnt colour to copper colour as it freezes 🤜👍🏻

watching crystalline metals turn into melted puddles never gets old. thank you my good man.

Excellent copper bars ... can't wait to see the steel turned in and weight! Cheers! 🍺

On last week's video I commented you needed something to shade your melting area, this week you installed a shade sail 😄 Next you need a ramp so you can roll your heavy stuff on a buggy or something.

I just realized the timers on the dogs are about double what they claim to be. Not complaining btw, love your dogs

So much Forbidden Orange Juice. Its so relaxing watch it melt and get poured

Definitely some of the nicest bars yet! Awesome!

As the son of a fireman, I appreciate your fire safety.

A Colorado Avalanche fan down under! Hell yea! Loved your channel before, and always knew you were a man of fine taste, but this confirms it! Cheers and thanks for the great videos!

I did the same thing. At some Canadian legions they hang a shovel over the table that the old vets gather around. My chair faces the bar.

I used to rebuild generators and stators for military aircraft. Wish I knew some of these shortcuts of disassembly you show. The cutting wheel method in particular. We recycled the copper and aluminum. We had to insert new copper magnet wires and braze them. I imagine the ones you show frequently are built via machines.

The old timey phone call! Nice touch

that was cool seeing how you put the shade up

Been looking forward to this video since the last Friday morning one ended.

Very good video mate! Love how you always incorporate a bit of your life outside of metal melting, into these videos. Please keep doing that. Also you should try get a hold of a locomotive traction motor one day haha, that'll bring in some serious copper

Another marvelous video. Thank you again for another weekend. See you next week.

Hey Big D, happy Aussie Day mate. We hope you survived the heat. That was one monster of a motor.

Coolio shade. Awesome breakdown and killer pour. Nicely done, sir.

Genius on the tension

Great score! Thanks for sharing! :)

Awesome video again, had to watch it in parts. See ya next week and stay hydrated. 😊🍺

You can make almost a copper brick floor in your treasure room😮

While the Australian summer is full of clear skies and imposing sun... here in my region it is rainy and humid, but at least the temperature is mild.

Great video fantastic camera work as always and I love them puppies glad u put sun screen On better safe then sorry best video's ever right here ❤

Watching liquid metal never gets old =)

BigStack, it cracks me up every time you answer your phone. Hilarious 😂.

Great post mate, camera work is superb....

Man, I was WAY off. Love seeing I got and Bullion. I still can't believe it takes so many days to film. Thanks for dat. Have a great day!!

The color of motlon copper is so amazing! I could stare at it for hours!

I like these massive meltdown videos. So much copper is retrieved from it that would have otherwise been wasted. EDIT: And aluminum.

Super cool video. I love watching you work. A cool idea that I'd love to see you try as a project would be to create life-size sculptures of your doggos. Nordic gold would be cool, but even aluminum bronze would be awesome or even just straight copper

Not to sound like a crazy person but I like the bars cooled in water rather than ice, I think You should do both start off with an ice block then move on to the water. The boiling water is mesmerizing to watch.

Happy Australia day for all who celebrate it🇦🇺 hope your weather is nicer than we've got it today🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌧

i love when u remove the box really "carefully"😂😂

Clever thinking as well, the sun stopper thing

11.11 is when he starts to take the motor apart ( incase you came to the comments looking for the timestamp)

Happy Australia Day, mate! Hope you and your fam had a good one.

WOW... The roar of the furnace was lulling me to sleep. Then you turned it off, and it was strange, almost like an alarm clock

Can't wait to see your scrapyard run.

Love the thinner bars! you should make a deck of cards out of copper!

Another great meltdown watching from west Virginia usa those are beautiful bars

85kgs of copper, brilliant vid. Keep up the good and hard work in the Aussy sun.

54 kg. thank god for the respirator. that stuff looked nasty. Oh and, The melterphone. LOVE IT reminds me of the old grand teft auto. you should: next time you get a big melt like this, make small 200-500g bars. high finish, stamps and sell BigStackD Bars on as merc. i would LOVE to buy a polished bigstackdbar
