Does anyone have an easy way to remove copper from an electic motor?

Question

I have some electric motors and I want to get the copper out of them and sell it for scrap

Answer 1

I worked in an electric motor shop. we baked ours in an oven (a large oven)also known as the burn out oven. You must do this to make this even close to easy. Unless you are working with form coils (large motors), or a WHOLE lot of small ones, the work involved does not match the return.

Answer 2

Pull all the wires out and burn the insulation off. Don't breath in the fumes.

Answer 3

If you have access to an outside fire-pit try that.
