    When metal heats up to a certain point, it reaches its “metal threshold frequency” it sheds away its electrons from the surface. This makes the surface bond with surrounding elements to close the electron shell, the blue color on the bars when you heated it is there rapid formation of copper oxide

    Here's something you might be interested in:
    To remove the oxide layer perfectly, you can leave it sit in warm vinegar overnight.
    It will for a blue solution and all the oxide will be in there with the waste copper. You can recycle that with 2 graphite pencil leads used as electrodes, connected to a low voltage powerbrick. The solution will go back to vinegar and all the waste copper that you would grind away will just collect on the electrode

    Cool vid. I've melted aluminum in my home foundry and it's rewarding but only if you're safe about it. The best source is recycled PC parts like heat sinks and scrap solid aluminum. Most think cans are the way to go. NOPE! You have to melt a ton of them and there will be a LOT of dross/slag. My #1 piece of advice is to make sure your mold has ZERO moisture on it. Like even a drop of water will prove disastrous. I only mention it because you play around with ice in the video and it may give people the wrong impression. If you pour molten metal into a mold with water in it, even a drop, it will explode. I don't say this to you because you know what you're doing, only to anyone else reading. I've seen too many videos of dudes in beach gear handling this stuff and it's scary. Temps high enough to melt metals is a serious thing and shorts and flip flops is begging for 3rd degree burns.

      You should let the process of natural selection take its course, because anyone wearing flip flops and short shorts(hopefully not cut off jeans😂👌) while they melt metal are great candidates for a Darwin DeEvolution Award. Trying to look cool and doing life threatening stuff while disregarding safety are things that don't hold together very well. Just let the kids know that you either look cool for the blooper reel/freak accident compilation vid, or be safe by handling scary stuff while wearing the apropiate gear and keeping all your fingers and toes, and your face from not melting away (its the money maker, so always protect the face👌)

      Chris Harris Ive worked on the same industrial site for 20 years and I get all my cables from my electrician friend and out of the scrap bin when I’m allowed to go through it , I started collecting my cables probably two years before I started melting so I have a decent stockpile but unfortunately I cannot get many more cables as often as I would like as the bosses have now stopped allowing us to take them😒but I still get a tiny bit here in theređŸ‘đŸ»

      Chris Harris - This comment is one of the most ignorant ones I've ever read on youtube. (Which is really saying something!) You assume he's a thief, but there are dozens of legitimate ways to obtain scrap cable. If you'd bothered to watch any of his other videos, you'd know he works in industry and they generate scrap of this type. He's also cut apart his old storm door and melted the aluminum... you going to accuse him of ripping that off somebody's house next? Automatically thinking the worst of somebody is indicative of your attitude & mindset. =(

      Tell Ea-nasir: Nanni sends the following message:
      When you came, you said to me as follows : "I will give Gimil-Sin (when he comes) fine quality copper ingots." You left then but you did not do what you promised me. You put ingots which were not good before my messenger (Sit-Sin) and said: "If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!"
      What do you take me for, that you treat somebody like me with such contempt? I have sent as messengers gentlemen like ourselves to collect the bag with my money (deposited with you) but you have treated me with contempt by sending them back to me empty-handed several times, and that through enemy territory. Is there anyone among the merchants who trade with Telmun who has treated me in this way? You alone treat my messenger with contempt! On account of that one (trifling) mina of silver which I owe(?) you, you feel free to speak in such a way, while I have given to the palace on your behalf 1,080 pounds of copper, and umi-abum has likewise given 1,080 pounds of copper, apart from what we both have had written on a sealed tablet to be kept in the temple of Samas.
      How have you treated me for that copper? You have withheld my money bag from me in enemy territory; it is now up to you to restore (my money) to me in full.
      Take cognizance that (from now on) I will not accept here any copper from you that is not of fine quality. I shall (from now on) select and take the ingots individually in my own yard, and I shall exercise against you my right of rejection because you have treated me with contempt.

    Some things I'd recommend. First, don't pour over concrete. Any moisture will flash boil if you spill metal and youl get bits of molten metal and hot concrete flying everywhere. Second, while I'm jealous of the graphite ingot mold, it seems like you're waiting for it to cool more than pouring, which seems to me inefficient. I'd recommend either getting more so you can pour multiple ingots at once, or maybe simply making plaster ingot molds that are cheap and affordable to re-make for bulk ingot making.
    That said, super slick setup you got. I like it.
