00:00:30.680 you 00:00:31.79000:00:31.800 [Music] 00:00:35.52900:00:35.539 hey guys backyard scrapping here well it 00:00:39.56000:00:39.570 is time to see if mlcc's are a waste of 00:00:45.38000:00:45.390 time anymore anyway 00:00:48.74000:00:48.750 these are I showed you before in a 00:00:52.39900:00:52.409 couple videos and a back and I said I 00:00:54.07900:00:54.089 was going to go ahead and do a video on 00:00:55.36900:00:55.379 mlcc's do a test what we got going on 00:01:00.59000:01:00.600 here these are all magnetic right here 00:01:03.74000:01:03.750 these are magnetic mlcc's all of them 00:01:07.07000:01:07.080 everything in that jar 00:01:08.71900:01:08.729 these little guys which came out of here 00:01:11.74000:01:11.750 dunnies which are magnetic which also 00:01:14.21000:01:14.220 came off of processors and processor 00:01:17.02900:01:17.039 type pins now this jar of mlcc's is 00:01:21.82000:01:21.830 non-magnetic and I use a neodymium 00:01:26.89900:01:26.909 magnet to separate them so people say 00:01:29.96000:01:29.970 use a regular magnet because you know 00:01:33.35000:01:33.360 it's not as powerful and you're not 00:01:35.05900:01:35.069 going to get the tin problem and all 00:01:36.71000:01:36.720 that but anyway I want to make sure 00:01:38.87000:01:38.880 they're non-magnetic so what I did is I 00:01:42.10900:01:42.119 took a strainer or a sieve and I sipped 00:01:44.35900:01:44.369 off all these little fine guys out of 00:01:48.80000:01:48.810 this jar so all of them in here are 00:01:50.95900:01:50.969 pretty decent-sized and as you can see 00:01:53.30000:01:53.310 in here these are very small let me see 00:01:55.37000:01:55.380 if I can find a coin or something real 00:01:58.73000:01:58.740 quick to throw on there and show you how 00:02:01.42900:02:01.439 small these little guys really are we've 00:02:07.45900:02:07.469 got a banged-up buffalo nickel but I 00:02:11.38000:02:11.390 don't know if you can see these are like 00:02:14.44900:02:14.459 most of them are like sand I mean 00:02:17.27000:02:17.280 they're like sugar grains this little 00:02:19.66000:02:19.670 buffalo nickel should give you a pretty 00:02:24.50000:02:24.510 good idea just how small these are so 00:02:27.11000:02:27.120 you know there's a lot of time involved 00:02:28.78900:02:28.799 with taking those out I'm picking those 00:02:32.27000:02:32.280 off the board or scraping them off the 00:02:33.97900:02:33.989 board and as you can see - I don't have 00:02:36.14000:02:36.150 the little white resistors or little 00:02:38.00000:02:38.010 blue things in there I mean I really 00:02:39.38000:02:39.390 take my time when I'm doing this but 00:02:41.75000:02:41.760 what we have here is a hundred grams 00:02:43.37000:02:43.380 we're going to go ahead and take it 00:02:45.05000:02:45.060 outside we're going to start by putting 00:02:46.75900:02:46.769 it in hydrochloric 00:02:47.65000:02:47.660 work acid probably for a week or so and 00:02:52.17000:02:52.180 then we will start the process and see 00:02:57.73000:02:57.740 if we have any palladium and any silver 00:03:01.99000:03:02.000 in these see if it's worth it because I 00:03:04.09000:03:04.100 mean there's when you look at this I 00:03:06.10000:03:06.110 mean even those even the bigger guys 00:03:08.71000:03:08.720 there's a lot of time involved in 00:03:10.63000:03:10.640 harvesting mlcc's so and the majority as 00:03:15.04000:03:15.050 you can see by this jar versus this jar 00:03:18.82000:03:18.830 the majority are magnetic so I'm hoping 00:03:23.77000:03:23.780 that the magnetics still have some 00:03:26.20000:03:26.210 silver and palladium in them and hoping 00:03:29.65000:03:29.660 that these are actually silver and 00:03:32.74000:03:32.750 palladium because that will be nice 00:03:34.33000:03:34.340 that's pretty heavy so we will get back 00:03:37.33000:03:37.340 at you when we get outside to get these 00:03:42.04000:03:42.050 started the cleanup process in the 00:03:44.02000:03:44.030 hydrochloric acid and what we're going 00:03:45.55000:03:45.560 to do is dissolve all the 10 and all the 00:03:47.46000:03:47.470 whatever you know off of them and junk 00:03:50.20000:03:50.210 and then we'll rinse them really really 00:03:52.39000:03:52.400 really good and then we will actually 00:03:55.78000:03:55.790 put them in nitric acid so I have some 00:03:59.29000:03:59.300 dmg to test for palladium so we'll see 00:04:03.25000:04:03.260 what happens so we'll get back at you in 00:04:05.08000:04:05.090 just a bit okay guys we're outside we've 00:04:11.41000:04:11.420 got our hundred grams of sugar grain or 00:04:14.59000:04:14.600 sand grains eyes mlcc's I'm gonna go 00:04:18.40000:04:18.410 ahead and put them in this beaker and 00:04:20.17000:04:20.180 we're gonna go ahead and detent them 00:04:22.71000:04:22.720 probably detent them and probably take 00:04:25.42000:04:25.430 some nickel a lot of them too as well 00:04:27.61000:04:27.62000:04:29.79000:04:29.800 just put in about 200 milliliters of HCL 00:04:34.39000:04:34.400 and we are basically going to just let 00:04:36.67000:04:36.680 these guys sit for about a week so we 00:04:41.13000:04:41.140 will be back at you guys when we go to 00:04:45.46000:04:45.470 change this out to make sure that enough 00:04:50.53000:04:50.540 of our tin and junk and crap has been 00:04:53.74000:04:53.750 removed 00:04:55.00000:04:55.010 and then we'll get into the process of 00:04:58.17000:04:58.180 seeing what we have seen if we've gotten 00:05:00.73000:05:00.740 any silver or we got any palladium these 00:05:03.01000:05:03.020 boy I really hope there is I hope all 00:05:05.05000:05:05.060 the hype about them you know it's been 00:05:08.26000:05:08.270 about 50/50 I see people you know yeah 00:05:10.42000:05:10.430 they're good oh yeah they're bad but I 00:05:13.03000:05:13.040 really hope they're good know if 00:05:14.83000:05:14.840 anybody's looked at palladium lately but 00:05:16.75000:05:16.760 it's about honest $1,800 an ounce which 00:05:20.32000:05:20.330 I'm sure it'll go back down but I mean 00:05:23.64000:05:23.650 it's hard to resist doing these at 00:05:27.31000:05:27.320 $1,800 an ounce for palladium so I'm go 00:05:31.09000:05:31.100 ahead and get this covered up we're just 00:05:36.34000:05:36.350 gonna leave it sit let me see if I can 00:05:39.43000:05:39.440 actually change this out for this one I 00:05:41.65000:05:41.660 sure would rather use this one so I can 00:05:46.69000:05:46.700 see in there all righty guys like I said 00:05:54.13000:05:54.140 it's gonna be about a week so I'm gonna 00:05:56.83000:05:56.840 let them sit for a week anyway I know 00:05:58.72000:05:58.730 you can get away with a day or two but I 00:06:00.79000:06:00.800 just want to do this as best as I can do 00:06:04.72000:06:04.730 it to make sure I'm doing it because 00:06:06.46000:06:06.470 it's a test and I want to make sure if 00:06:08.74000:06:08.750 they're no good that they're no good for 00:06:10.42000:06:10.430 the right reasons or if they're good 00:06:12.61000:06:12.620 that they're good for the right reasons 00:06:14.17000:06:14.180 so we will get back to you in like I 00:06:18.28000:06:18.290 said about a week well we'll get back to 00:06:20.89000:06:20.900 you in about a second for you see in a 00:06:23.38000:06:23.390 few 00:06:25.09000:06:25.100 [Applause] 00:06:26.22000:06:26.230 okay guys we are back with our mlcc's I 00:06:33.18000:06:33.190 would venture to say that they are 00:06:36.02000:06:36.030 probably have got as much junk off of 00:06:39.27000:06:39.280 them as we're going to get off of them 00:06:41.54000:06:41.550 they actually went I've been thinking 00:06:45.21000:06:45.220 this is almost 10 days in the HCL I did 00:06:49.32000:06:49.330 change it out once I just haven't had 00:06:51.78000:06:51.790 time to mess with them because of the 00:06:53.37000:06:53.380 drawing and everything else so I've been 00:06:56.13000:06:56.140 pretty tied up with that so what we're 00:06:58.53000:06:58.540 gonna do is we're gonna there's I can 00:07:01.02000:07:01.030 see by the contamination color in here 00:07:03.44000:07:03.450 we probably have a little nickel and we 00:07:06.54000:07:06.550 probably have some copper but nickel 00:07:09.36000:07:09.370 palladium platinum any of that kind of 00:07:11.58000:07:11.590 white stuff I'm gonna put my gloves on 00:07:14.49000:07:14.500 you do not want that stuff on you ever 00:07:17.87000:07:17.880 so let me get set back up let me get my 00:07:21.09000:07:21.100 gloves on 00:07:22.02000:07:22.030 and we're gonna go ahead and pour this 00:07:23.79000:07:23.800 off and then we're gonna rinse these a 00:07:25.62000:07:25.630 thousand times because our next step is 00:07:28.95000:07:28.960 going to be to put on a nitric acid and 00:07:30.66000:07:30.670 see if we get any silver off of them so 00:07:32.63000:07:32.640 we will get back at you in just a bit 00:07:36.89000:07:36.900 okay guys we are back I think the first 00:07:40.32000:07:40.330 thing I'm going to do is real quickly 00:07:44.51000:07:44.520 just check this make sure we don't have 00:07:49.11000:07:49.120 any I don't believe we will but any 00:07:53.07000:07:53.080 precious metal and solution 00:08:02.51000:08:02.520 we got a lot of little floaties in here 00:08:04.79000:08:04.800 that are gonna have to come off 00:08:14.57000:08:14.580 they said I don't believe we're going to 00:08:16.37000:08:16.380 have anything in there but it never 00:08:19.07000:08:19.080 hurts to check 00:08:27.25000:08:27.260 and I am seeing nothing absolutely 00:08:31.99000:08:32.000 nothing other than our little floaties 00:08:34.60000:08:34.610 that were in there when we started so 00:08:48.21000:08:48.220 once again this is gonna go in a 00:08:50.82000:08:50.830 different disposal I'm actually gonna 00:08:55.92000:08:55.930 have will actually have them in a bag 00:08:57.48000:08:57.490 over here I'm gonna put all this stuff 00:08:59.19000:08:59.200 in and I will give this from that buddy 00:09:04.19000:09:04.200 down the road who fools with other stuff 00:09:08.10000:09:08.110 that's a lot more dangerous than the 00:09:10.23000:09:10.240 stuff I fool with so you have more metal 00:09:16.68000:09:16.690 in solution I have my little X jug 00:09:21.15000:09:21.160 because I'm not going to put this in my 00:09:23.60000:09:23.610 any of this in my this is completely 00:09:33.93000:09:33.940 different stuff and we don't want to do 00:09:38.52000:09:38.530 that you can see it change from a green 00:09:41.37000:09:41.380 to a almost like a deep purple brown 00:09:47.55000:09:47.560 which usually indicates gold but there 00:09:49.95000:09:49.960 was no gold in it so now we're going to 00:09:53.34000:09:53.350 go through this and we're gonna rinse it 00:09:54.90000:09:54.910 just like we do our silver that was 00:10:00.15000:10:00.160 actually just straight HCL so when I get 00:10:05.61000:10:05.620 these rinsed and cleaned real good we 00:10:07.59000:10:07.600 are going to change them over to a 00:10:10.82000:10:10.830 little bit of diluted nitric acid and 00:10:16.32000:10:16.330 we're gonna see if we get any silver off 00:10:17.94000:10:17.950 of them so we will be back at you guys 00:10:21.57000:10:21.580 in after I get this wrenched 00:10:26.41000:10:26.420 okay everybody we are back I went it 00:10:30.51900:10:30.529 looks like there's I don't know if you 00:10:32.31900:10:32.329 can see that but it looks like there's 00:10:34.00000:10:34.010 all kind of little foils in there I do 00:10:37.48000:10:37.490 not know what they are yet I rinsed this 00:10:42.97000:10:42.980 about probably two or three times as 00:10:46.96000:10:46.970 much as I would have rinsed silver 00:10:48.85000:10:48.860 powder which is a lot I actually have 00:10:52.62900:10:52.639 well water so I could boil my well water 00:10:55.06000:10:55.070 to rinse it and then my final rinse I 00:10:57.16000:10:57.170 did with distilled water just in case 00:10:59.25900:10:59.269 and now we have about a hundred mils of 00:11:01.96000:11:01.970 distilled water in here and I've got a 00:11:05.17000:11:05.180 hundred mils of nitric acid over here 00:11:07.21000:11:07.220 the main thing we don't want to see 00:11:09.34000:11:09.350 happen is we don't want to see an 00:11:10.78000:11:10.790 instant yellow reaction because that 00:11:13.30000:11:13.310 will tell us that we had we didn't get 00:11:16.38900:11:16.399 all of the hydrochloric acid out and 00:11:18.43000:11:18.440 we're actually making off the reagent 00:11:20.07900:11:20.089 and we don't want to do that we want 00:11:22.56900:11:22.579 this to just dissolve any silver that is 00:11:26.11000:11:26.120 in here if there is any so we're going 00:11:28.09000:11:28.100 to put a little bit in see what happens 00:11:31.35000:11:31.360 we're not getting yellow we're getting a 00:11:33.97000:11:33.980 blue so 00:11:40.41000:11:40.420 okay let me turn my back fan on I'm 00:11:43.01900:11:43.029 happy with that 00:11:43.92000:11:43.930 I didn't see I didn't see a reaction 00:11:48.56900:11:48.579 that was gonna indicate that we didn't 00:11:52.65000:11:52.660 get all our hydrochloric acid out 00:12:00.57000:12:00.580 or this in that blue I'm imagining is 00:12:06.26900:12:06.279 copper I don't know like I said this is 00:12:08.13000:12:08.140 the first time for me guys so what we're 00:12:10.76900:12:10.779 going to do is dissolve this off see 00:12:16.68000:12:16.690 what's left we'll rinse it then we'll 00:12:18.90000:12:18.910 check our we'll filter it and we'll 00:12:21.09000:12:21.100 check our solution for silver if we have 00:12:23.55000:12:23.560 a decent silver content in here then we 00:12:26.61000:12:26.620 know there's probably going to be some 00:12:28.01900:12:28.029 palladium so I'm going to just let this 00:12:30.93000:12:30.940 thing do its thing just like I said 00:12:35.51900:12:35.529 before there's my little bag that I'm 00:12:37.17000:12:37.180 using for this these gloves will go on 00:12:39.30000:12:39.310 that bag and not reuse these gloves 00:12:43.31000:12:43.320 we're appearing to get a pretty good 00:12:46.31900:12:46.329 reaction so and it doesn't look like 00:12:50.10000:12:50.110 it's all copper so let me go ahead and 00:12:55.05000:12:55.060 put a little bit more of this and we'll 00:12:56.63900:12:56.649 let it react down 00:13:04.34000:13:04.350 put us a lid on it and just let it do 00:13:08.42000:13:08.430 its thing and we will get back at you 00:13:12.29000:13:12.300 guys in a little bit 00:13:19.38000:13:19.390 okay guys as you can hear the rain is 00:13:22.24000:13:22.250 pouring down this slowed up a little bit 00:13:26.17000:13:26.180 it's been about 15 or 20 minutes so I 00:13:28.30000:13:28.310 just went ahead and added I don't know 00:13:30.49000:13:30.500 maybe 10 or 20 more mils of nitric acid 00:13:33.48000:13:33.490 it seems to be doing fine the reaction 00:13:38.35000:13:38.360 or the color that I'm getting actually 00:13:41.05000:13:41.060 looks like the same color that I get 00:13:42.97000:13:42.980 when I'm doing high-end silver contacts 00:13:45.79000:13:45.800 so that may be a good sign I have no 00:13:49.06000:13:49.070 idea yet but anyhow I just figured I'd 00:13:53.53000:13:53.540 give you a quick shot of that to let you 00:13:55.42000:13:55.430 see it it's that aqua green color 00:13:57.28000:13:57.290 instead of a strong blue or a you know 00:14:01.30000:14:01.310 or a strong green it's right there in 00:14:03.28000:14:03.290 that nice aqua color so a lot of times 00:14:05.98000:14:05.990 when we're doing those big block you 00:14:07.78000:14:07.790 know the big off of busbars silver 00:14:10.21000:14:10.220 contacts this is the color that we end 00:14:12.19000:14:12.200 up with or that starts out so hopefully 00:14:15.16000:14:15.170 that's an indication of some nice silver 00:14:19.17000:14:19.180 we're gonna let it go till we don't get 00:14:23.05000:14:23.060 a reaction anymore when we add nitric 00:14:25.12000:14:25.130 acid then we will filter that stuff off 00:14:27.91000:14:27.920 and test it for silver so we'll be back 00:14:31.48000:14:31.490 at you all in a bit okay guys we are 00:14:35.62000:14:35.630 back again I actually put a little more 00:14:39.91000:14:39.920 acid in here and we're getting a little 00:14:41.65000:14:41.660 more nitric and we are getting a little 00:14:43.09000:14:43.100 bit more of a reaction but I am seeing 00:14:46.24000:14:46.250 something that I don't like and it looks 00:14:48.72000:14:48.730 to me like we are getting a bunch of 00:14:53.65000:14:53.660 silver chloride in here so I don't know 00:14:56.41000:14:56.420 if the ceramics hold 00:15:02.94900:15:02.959 you know the acid or what but I rinse 00:15:05.87000:15:05.880 this you know I mean 25 times probably 00:15:09.65000:15:09.660 so anyway I'm just gonna let it go let 00:15:13.49000:15:13.500 it settle add a little more acid to it 00:15:17.18000:15:17.190 see if we get any more reaction and just 00:15:20.18000:15:20.190 go from there 00:15:21.01900:15:21.029 so we'll get back at you in a little bit 00:15:26.41000:15:26.420 alrighty everybody we're still having a 00:15:28.63900:15:28.649 reaction in here and it has been I don't 00:15:32.15000:15:32.160 know maybe about thirty minutes to 45 00:15:33.76900:15:33.779 minutes since I put the last dose of 00:15:35.75000:15:35.760 nitric in and what I'm seeing here is 00:15:39.19000:15:39.200 now you got to remember I've never 00:15:41.18000:15:41.190 messed with mlcc's I tried one time a 00:15:43.94000:15:43.950 little bit and didn't get very far but 00:15:47.48000:15:47.490 I'm not seeing any mlcc's left in here 00:15:50.21000:15:50.220 all I'm seeing is a white powder which 00:15:54.05000:15:54.060 could be any kind of a chloride it could 00:15:56.21000:15:56.220 be tin chloride could be lead chloride 00:15:57.82900:15:57.839 could be silver chloride I have no idea 00:15:59.87000:15:59.880 because once again like I said this 00:16:01.91000:16:01.920 ml/cc thing is all new to me but it 00:16:07.31000:16:07.320 looks like we're still having a reaction 00:16:10.00900:16:10.019 in there we're still getting some small 00:16:12.76900:16:12.779 reaction so I'm gonna let it go but it 00:16:15.05000:16:15.060 looks like everything has dissolved I 00:16:17.26900:16:17.279 mean other than the crap that's you know 00:16:20.44900:16:20.459 a little bit floating around stuff on 00:16:22.10000:16:22.110 top there it looks like all the solids 00:16:25.22000:16:25.230 have pretty much dissolved so like I 00:16:30.38000:16:30.390 said I'm just gonna let this go I don't 00:16:32.18000:16:32.190 know if you can see that reaction how 00:16:33.88900:16:33.899 it's doing it seems like when it settles 00:16:35.81000:16:35.820 back down when the powder actually 00:16:37.85000:16:37.860 settles it gets more active again but 00:16:40.63900:16:40.649 anyway like I said I'm gonna let it go 00:16:42.41000:16:42.420 we're gonna see what happens I don't 00:16:46.97000:16:46.980 know exactly how we're going to deal 00:16:48.53000:16:48.540 with this yet but I'll figure it out 00:16:50.56900:16:50.579 along the way and I'll get back at you 00:16:55.12000:16:55.130 in a bit 00:16:58.73000:16:58.740 okay guys I just stirred this up and I 00:17:02.57000:17:02.580 added a little bit of a little bit more 00:17:05.63000:17:05.640 nitric to it it looks like silver 00:17:08.75000:17:08.760 chloride like it's like everything has 00:17:11.18000:17:11.190 turned the silver chloride but it does 00:17:14.21000:17:14.220 settle out and separate pretty quick as 00:17:16.76000:17:16.770 you can see here we are I know you can 00:17:22.04000:17:22.050 see that we're still getting a reaction 00:17:23.44900:17:23.459 I added about 10 more mils of nitric 00:17:25.97000:17:25.980 acid so we're gonna let this play out I 00:17:29.39000:17:29.400 mean I just you know this is all new to 00:17:32.27000:17:32.280 me so we're gonna go ahead and let it go 00:17:35.69000:17:35.700 I never thought that everything would 00:17:38.51000:17:38.520 dissolve and turn into a powder that it 00:17:41.39000:17:41.400 did but you can see what kind of a 00:17:43.40000:17:43.410 reaction we'll have in here so I'm gonna 00:17:46.79000:17:46.800 let it go probably throughout the night 00:17:51.56000:17:51.570 I'll come out a little while and turn 00:17:53.42000:17:53.430 the demo off and just leave it sit and 00:17:56.02000:17:56.030 we'll get back to you out you know gonna 00:17:59.72000:17:59.730 be a couple days for me I gotta go to 00:18:01.22000:18:01.230 work 00:18:01.69000:18:01.700 we'll get back to you soon as I got a 00:18:04.91000:18:04.920 clue what's going on so we'll see you 00:18:07.94000:18:07.950 all later 00:18:14.76000:18:14.77000:18:25.03900:18:25.04900:18:26.55000:18:26.56000:18:37.49000:18:37.500
