As you may have seen on the main channel, we actually had Linus play with this industrial grade
hard drive crusher. It made us think, what else can it crush? So Sammy put together a bin of
apparently e-waste, including a red bull can, that we're going to try crushing today.
We've got RAM. We'll try throwing in it.
You know, we can't put this in. Wait, why? It has a battery. What about it? It would explode.
Oh, what, actually? Yes, it doesn't matter if it's dead. It would probably actually fire.
I saved us the thousand dollars. And my life, maybe. I'm glad we're worried about the money,
though. No, the money. Oh my God. Another hard drive we're going to crush. And some SSDs. I guess
we can try some old CDs too. Nobody uses these anymore, anyways. There's the run crusher button,
but first we need to load it. You have these like really heavy, like rails almost. Kind of just
slide in on the rails. And then you'll take your hard drive. And it has an image telling you,
I guess, to put it in a certain way. I don't know if that actually affects it. Again, I wasn't there
for the main video, but pretty much that's it. They claim it makes a connection between the aluminum
here. And so that way it's like, without anything in there, it wouldn't ever go down and crush.
But you know, it's non-conductive stuff we're putting in anyways, so I don't know why it's
working. Nice to phone. Well, yeah. But then I'm pretty sure all we have to do is run the crusher
now. And it should crush. I was kind of hoping it like exploded. I guess that yeah, that constitutes
destroyed. It only like really bent them. It didn't actually even like break the plates on the inside.
I find interesting. I remember at my old job, when we used to have to destroy a client's data,
we would open the drives ourselves, go in and either shatter the discs or scratch them up beyond
repair with like a screwdriver or something. Batteries removed. Thank you. Thank you. Oh,
so we can crush your phone. Batteries removed. Okay. I'm still slightly scared. I don't know why.
Again, we're just going to say this. This is e-waste. We're not crushing perfectly good working
stuff. So if we're going to go smaller, we actually just take out the aluminum bars and they have this
little device. Looks like a trampoline almost. It's squishy on the top. And then we just line it up
again with those rails, run our crusher again. Like a little far back. I'm a little scared.
Oh my God, look at all that glass. So much glass. Oh my God. Oh, we shouldn't have that last. I think
we shouldn't have that last. Do you want gloves? Nah. Bro. Worksafe wants to know your location.
No, we should get gloves. Oh, wow, there's a lot of glass. Yeah, we should probably get gloves.
You notice with this gadget, it actually has the three little points that it pushes down on
whatever object and it uses the single blade. Like it did crush the hard drive, but it then
does three more. Patient, I want to. Yep. So we did take the battery out. I'm glad we're checking now.
After it's been crushed, I want to do RAM next. If I can fit. Oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. I guess we're
doing one. Can't really fit both. Go crush it. Oh, wow. Oh, wow. It actually, it'll, it can't
crush me. It can't be crushed. Press and hold reverse to reset. Oh, I don't think the reason why
it might not have had as much power to actually crush all the way through. These machines are
normally 220 or 240 volt, but this one has been rewired so it can run off just North American
outlets. So it's probably not getting enough voltage to actually do what it wants to and
crush all the way through. Luckily, we don't need this high voltage. We can just do it the old
fashion way. Maybe if I'm strong enough. I am not strong enough. Yeah, let's do a CPU next.
What CPU is this? Corduo. It's classic. There we go. There it goes. Crush, crush, crush.
That's awesome. I want them to explode though and I'm going to pop. Put a battery in there.
It's not a bad idea. Little L CPU. Took the L on this one, dude. Holy. Oh yeah,
you can actually see the die. It cracked underneath. I don't think this will fit.
Okay, we're not doing a fan today. I was handed these and it said crush one of their business
cards. I was like, this is just a 3D printed fidget. They have their little logo right there.
Don't show Sarah that we're about to crush dinosaurs. Oh my, oh my God, this is so gruesome.
Look away kids. What? This doesn't look right.
Eli. It's okay, my child. Jordan, why?
It's okay, my sweet prince. That one was a lot louder than the other ones.
I might, my jaw's literally dropping.
Oh no. Oh no. It looks more like a fidget.
Oh, it's still fidgets. Yeah. I think fidgets for...
Yeah, look. You can totally play with this. Give that to the nephew you don't like.
Can I have it? Yeah. Here you go. Thanks.
We'll do one SSD here. We'll load it in.
Oh, it looks so sad. That one crushed a lot more than the others. It went like deeper.
It's a little mustache. Can we see inside? I mean, I might be able to pry it open.
No, we gotta crush it open. Well, it's part of video.
Okay, then let's flip it the other way and we'll put it back in.
I thought for a second it was just gonna flatten it out. I was like, it works again.
We can just plug it in. I mean, the connectors are all destroyed.
It's kind of peeling on this side. No. Are there screws in it? No.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Good idea. It's still scary putting my fingers in here,
even though I know it's not supposed to crush. And it doesn't even go that far.
Like, you know, it goes to like here, but it's still, it's a weird feeling.
Time to crush. Remember how I said earlier, I didn't really know how the safety check
worked because it said it was conductive? I guess it must be just enough because
we can't get this SSD to work this in this orientation.
I guess we're not crushing it this way. Below my foot.
No, like this, like, like this, the OG crusher.
You're filing me for WorkSafe earlier? Don't step on my fingers.
I don't know how I'm actually going to get this one in there.
There is actually dedicated two and a half inch sleds,
which is these ones here, a little bit different shape.
And then they go like that. Oh, it says click to destroy.
So it's registering that it's in there. It's probably just going to push it out of the way, but we'll give it a try.
This is e-waste.
It just went down. It just fell.
The media's been destroyed. It says right here. Let's examine the damage. Sammy drank it. That's the damage that's been done.
I'm going to try to crush it in a way that kind of tries to maybe keep some shape.
There. It's flat-ish now. Oh, you can hear it.
But I mean, it's just going to push it or? Chug, chug, chug, chug. Oh, this is melting from my perspective.
Media's been destroyed.
Well, I mean, you can see where the blade hit in this area,
but I did more damage to it than this machine. Again, it's not meant to destroy pop cans.
Our final one. This one has a chance to be the most explosive.
Some of these DVDs, I believe, can be actually like coated with glass.
If I'm not mistaken, I don't think these ones. Can your mom's DVD drive take 30 at the same time?
This crusher can. Oh, oh, baby.
No, it's still not being detected. Try doing one on the short side, one on the high side,
because then we can do it in slanted. Maybe get more DVDs in to detect it.
It looks like it didn't work slanted with that many DVDs,
but we always have more, baby.
Oh God, that sounds like we're just jerry-rigging it.
Let's do it. Okay. Don't do this at home, kids. We're going to try using these little alligator clips,
because again, if it's connection-based, like it just needs to complete a circuit,
these should actually be able to complete that for us. I like how we're breaking all like safety precautions built in.
It's like, I want to crush some DVDs. Oh God. Okay. I don't know why that scared me.
I hate this so much. Incorrect media. Ah, dang it. Okay.
What if we just put a hard drive with like on in there, and then like the CD on top of it?
So then these CD breaks.
You're a goddamn genius.
Put like a small handful in there, and we'll put the hard drive in.
Yeah. Let's go. Let's go. We broke the system.
I'm so scared.
Oh, wow. No, it did. Or is that the plate?
That's the hard drive. Oh, that is the hard drive. You're right.
Yeah. That's what I expected out of the first hard drive that we crushed was this kind of shattering.
But the DVDs live, baby. Oh no, definitely not.
They've got a lot of scratching and dents.
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Mmm. Oh, yeah, look at this one. Look in here.
So these, you can see all the plates.
There was like probably, I can't, how much, how big is this drive?
16 there? So there's probably eight plates. That's super cool.
Dude, glass drives are so much cooler. I got one more of those.
Yeah. Oh yeah. Did break one. Yeah, you're right. Did break this one.
So much glass in there, right? Didn't need a hole. Oh my God.
Oh, I think there was a piece of glass.
We've crushed too many hard drives. There we go. Be careful.
There's glass on the floor. So if you kneel.
Who's kneel?
How is it? Oh yeah. There you go.
So those are all the heads that read the data.
They move back and forth like that.
Got something stuck in my data.
There you go. Now it'll work. These ones are dangerous though, because I remember breaking them
and not realizing I had a glass one. And I used to do this.
And so when I broke that work, it like shot glass at my face.
Are you alive? I do anyone up every day. Dude, we need to study me.
The specimen, Mamma Mia. That's some spicy seasonings.
Like when you get the crumbs at the bottom of a like cereal bag.
We want to see a CD properly break, right? I won't shatter it towards my face, but we'll do it the old-fashioned way.
Wow, really? The squint of power.
Really? Oh, it's just folding it. Oh, that's no fun.
Oh, wait, I missed it.
Now it's folding. I can't even recreate my accident.
Thanks for watching the extras. Make sure you go check out the full video if you haven't already.
Maybe go check out some other Floatplane extras. I don't know how well do you know your boss series is pretty good.
Nope, no free cloud. It's on our own website.
Nope, no free cloud. So what do you want me to shout at? What do you want me to throw? Bye.
