P2 Recycling Drills Hard Drives for Generators and Platters

hey, i got a Q, ever try air tesla turbines in a series? output of one to input of the other?

ty ..good info and funny too ..how many times did he say ouch!! hehe

i think the sound was recycled too Oo
had to turn my speakers to max just to hear what he was saying.!

got it, right tool for the job and all hard drives are different.

It is an old scsi HD from the 90's. Check EBAY SCSI they are cheap. Magnet has a 50 pound pull.

Holy freaking crap. What brand/model of hard drive did you take apart in this video?! I've been through my fair share of hdds, and I've NEVER seen that many platters, OR that big of magnets in the alignment coil assembly @_@

Thank you for the information:-)

You can actually undo torx screws with an allen key (hex key). Make sure it's EXACTLY the right size (really tight fit) or you'll end up mashing the torx head. Also it has to be the flat-ended type. Don't try the ball-ended type of hex key.

I use allens for undoing torx screws all the time for things which need a longer or narrower shaft than my torx bit set has. That shouldn't be a problem with hard drives though.

If there's a post in the middle of the screwhead it's a "security torx".

hi can i buy a set of disc's like one one in the video thanks and do you have paypal for payment as i live in the UK thanks

Torx

What he says, the quality of hard-drives, i think they was just the same. What HDD should we stay away from, manufacture,
models and so on, and what kinds of proplems are linket to them !!!

I mean the HDD equivalent for pits, but i forget the term.

roidroid:

What "pits" are you talking about??
HDD are Magnetic and use magnetic pick ups

The pits you refer to are on CD or DVDs for Optical sensors. (I.R. laser, Phototransistor, reflection/refraction system)

Yes they are a pain in the a^& but if you have them, and the time. These magnets are also flat North South so they work perfect for DIY generators. You do not waste one side as in normal Neod Magnets.

Just too much work taking those drives apart.
You can by does powerful magnets fairly cheap.
Can be used in home made wind generators.
