One man’s trash, that’s another man’s come up.

It’s my lucky day because my neighbor is throwing away a microwave! One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and with all the parts I can harvest off this abandoned appliance, I feel like I just won the lottery!

WARNING:

This project is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in severe electric shock, serious injury, death, and/or permanent damage to equipment and property. The pink high voltage insulator on the magnetron is made with beryllium oxide, and is a hazardous material. Regular inhalation of the dust can lead to lung diseases similar to those caused by asbestos. Do not break it. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

I’m super excited about these salvaged parts, because there are a ton of dangerous projects I can use these for. Like unballasted high voltage electrical arcing, or instantly fatal traveling arcs. How about improvised spot welding, or dangerously exciting metal melting, and even makeshift AC stick welders? I feel like I made out like a bandit on this project, and these salvaged components will lay the foundation for many projects to come.

THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED! (Oct 15th, 2012)

Congratulations to KNIFEL0VER, who was the winner of the fire piston.

Details of the drawing:
5,320 comments were considered in the drawing.
All comments were imported into a spreadsheet and each comment occupied 1 line.

Hey, look at this! There’s a broken canister of mutant ooze leaking down into the sewers! But don’t worry because this sticky slime is non-toxic, and it’s so easy to make, a 3 year old can do it!

WARNING:

This project should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

All you need for this project are some common household items you probably already have. A little Borax detergent booster, yellow and green food coloring, and a 5 oz bottle of some clear non-toxic school glue.

Borax can be found as a detergent booster under the name “20 mule team Borax”. It’s a natural mineral with a chemical formula Na2B4O7 • 10H2O. The IUPAC name for borax is sodium tetraborate decahydrate. Borax also is known as sodium borate, sodium tetraborate or disodium tetraborate.

If you don’t have access to Borax, I’ve heard that liquid starch can be used instead. I haven’t tried it, but let me know if you do, and how well it works? Just mix 1/2 cup liquid starch (eg. Sta-Flo) with an 8oz bottle of glue (should be the whole bottle).

Here’s how to make a forever flashlight. I used mostly old parts I found laying around in broken electronics.
