What is the best way to separate copper wire from electrical motors at home?


I work in the HVAC field and recycle the old equipment. Reuse parts that are still good, etc. I take alot of items to the salvage yard but really hate to throw out the electrical motors as steel scape. Especially with the price of copper.

Anyone knowing of an easy way to get the copper from these electrical motors I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

the only ways i know of are to unwind it or to cut the stator in half and pick out the wire.
