Watching electronics getting shredded is painful and satisfying at the same time

Found this video on /r/techsupportgore! Sorry if I cause any nightmares

Fascinating yet horrifying at the same time.

pff. what a wimpy thing. it can barely handle a cellphone board.

There's one out there where you can throw whole cars in ...

[Christe4nM]

Horrifying indeed. At first at least, until the satisfaction kicked in after about 4 minutes

Is this some sort of therapy device?

Old engineers sit around it in a vegetative state throwing components in - instead of going to the park to feed the pigeons.

I noticed the blue hopper part around the outside seems to be 3D printed.

Robo-Widlarising: I prefer the personal method, associated with the proper incantation " You little bast**d" (strike).

Elf and safety would have a field day, there is nothing to stop fingers getting pulled in.

I don't see any video.

We hire a company with a van with one of them in it to dispose of our dead hard disks. Just chuck 10-15 in at a time and they come out powdered. We get to watch as well so we know they have been disposed of properly

I think there are shredding machines that shreds whole dead cows at rendering plants!

I'd love that kind of therapy

Fixed it! I made a manual link before because I thought the board doesn't embed the video, but it seems it's just in the preview.

The mouse fought most bravely of all. I was hoping the guy poking it with the round file would get the file stuck in the blades. That'd fix it.
Also, I didn't see any ceramic chip packages. What's the bet they would destroy the machine?

I wonder what the point of it is? It's so tiny, is it just someone's toy project? What's the point of a shredder that only takes objects very small in the first place?

I worked in a place that had a shredder.  We shredded electronics.  Circuit boards were the worse because we had to inspect every one of them, twice to ensure that all batteries were removed. 
Coin cells, batteries in potted ICs, on old ram boards and misc batteries soldered onto PCBs were the culprits we were looking for.
Coin cells, after being shredded, could and did start fires.

He should throw a NOKIA 3310 in there.

I know a place that has a industrial paper shredder.  It is every bit of 2 ft wide, a deep well that can hold quite a bit of paper, has a safety shield with interlock over it and can probably dispose of the bodies though the DNA would be hard to clean out.

[VK3DRB]

Its a disgusting, abusive, violent and cruel video. What's next - animal cruelty like kittens in the microwave?

Reminds me of the shredder that nearly got James Bond in Licence to Kill
