[CristiGiambasu11]

/watch?v=L5PQRV_9dY0

[Flashlight1996]

Hell, id still hit it.

[Silenthen1]

Those magnets are WAY bigger out of a PC hard drive.

[htomerif]

I believe the "polarizer" wasnt, but was actually a diffuser for the backlight.

[failurbanik]

i have the weridest boner i EVER HAD

[TheQhozt]

So waht you are saying is this: HDD is magic stuff that spins magic stuff with magical metal??

[DrShaym]

WHOO! YEAH! TAKE IT ALL OFF!

[DannyJProductions]

nerdgasm!

[mrgeoslugs]

dude this shit is orgasmic

[slavj]

Nothing sexier than stripping technology...

Woot!!! Shake that hard drive baby!

[hundredandfour]

I came.

[xrsilverxr]

7:37 'ive lost the magnet' - perhaps it got stuck magically with it's magical powers to one of the other metal parts chucked on the table??

[AndrianGA]

What no Bender reference?

[RoadRunnerLaser]

Drive platters also make fantastic FSMs... No... not Flying Spaghetti Monsters, Front Surface Mirrors - Essential kit in any laser lab !!

Why FSMs? Because regular silver-backed mirrors create double reflections (one from the glass front and one from the silver back) which cause interference patterns.

[cody7445]

I got a boner

[shldflght]

That camera got naked!!! :D Does anyone else feel unusually warm?

[FreeeeS]

silisetion

[FreeeeS]

not porn this is surgery :P

[DerTiger]

why did he braek et? : O

[ImaGoofyGooberYEAH]

THIS IS NOT NERD PORN ITS NERD SNUFF! OH GOD MAKE IT STOP

[TheHomelessCripple]

i remember the first time i stripped my firs hard drive. Playing with those magnets was fun

[DaDoctaBoom]

Fucking magnets, how do they work?

[mang0scang0]

And now you can find Flash memory with more storage than that... witchcraft!

[RandomCheeseBob]

... and I jizzed in my pants.

[nickoshie13]

fuck i just cummed.........

[MrWelovekfc]

Pure mothafuckin' magic.

[GR1o6180339887498948]

Not as fun as destroying a desktop but it's still very hardcore nerd porn.

[EmeraldView]

Phew!! I was afraid you might open a transistor or IC chip and let out the magic smoke!

[canaan1967]

Do you have any idea the quantity of resource depletion that goes in to maintaining your childish fascinations?

[jetfreak114]

lol you destroyed the camera ;D

[EVOLVEDUK]

Any one know the first song ?

[gjford]

Damn Thunderf00t! What don't you know?!

[100percentrekkie]

I think the true message here is that if this video is more exciting than normal porn, you must be a nerd.

Beautiful piece of machinery! =D I was never one for taking crap apart and putting it together (or breaking the hard disk), but this was definitely fascinating.

[Lallapalalable]

There was a kids museum my summer camp took us to, and I spent three hours in the "take shit apart" area. The counselors had to come and find me so we could leave

[TechnomancerMorhion]

"What is the oldest, yet modern, piece of technology you can remember? Perhaps a simple transistor radio? Do you understand how this achieves what it does? Open it and look inside. Crystal and wire, silicon and track. If you do not even understand the nature of these components you are looking at then these may as well be eye-of-newt and tongue-of-crow. It is magic to you." Science fiction isn't as fictional as commonly believed :)

[Artemisgoldfish]

Technically not a pinhole camera, since it uses a lens to focus the light.

[OccultistPriest]

Got me hard :x

[moleman124]

Nice trance Choon

Played it in a few sets myself

[LilyLilyLilyPotter]

uh...what?

[canislupusfool]

My archos broke last year and I needed a new hard drive. Then I see this video and I almost cried when you snapped that platter. I wish we could've swapped hard drives and then you could've used my broken one. Oh well, nice video anyway.

[ThatIsNotDeadWhich]

Indeed.

Consumer electronics seems to be an area where we gladly accept a gratuitous waste of raw materials and energy that would make us cringe were it applied to any other area of semi-durable consumer goods.

We would never even consider throwing away a five-year old car just because it had blown a tyre, or dumping a perfectly workable three-year old bicycle because the braking cable came loose. Yet we cheerfully toss away a working computer mainboard because of a faulty processor.

[complyersnot]

well someone accused me of being a nerd once , but im definitely not

[Brained05]

You do realize that you've quite likely voided your warranty. ;-)

[bonehead1902]

I love takeing stuff apart like this and i dont have no clue what half the stuff is its just fun.

[MrPuffyable]

Very miss leading heh.

[jeolmmum]

"...someone, somewhere must understand it!"

I do. Can I haz a pin now? ;)

[ComputerGeek396]

fapfapfap lol

[BeekersSqueakers]

Oh, the monetary sacrfices you make for your viewers' amusment. I would not be able to be so dedicated.

[SteveySA]

YEA BOI!

[bluntman007]

Tiesto-Suburban Train

[0Gimmick]

i came buckets...

[TheBatchGuy]

I just jizzed in my pants... :)

[nothatsmyporkpie]

Oh dear we saw your face in this one

[StephaneScot]

tf00t and i use the same screwdrivers! lol

[narf126]

lol!

[Dozerthedj]

hell yeah trance! anytime you want a trance mix let me know!

[TheExPlOiTeDOne619]

Nice music Sir Thunderf00t :)

[TehCybernerd]

ah, very nice diversion video..

once i took apart a calculator... it turns out that it had a battery, and the 'solar cell' was really a translucent piece of plastic with some sponge behind it... cheap crap...

[lgr1991]

At 1:22 when he said "insertion force" ...

This really is nerd porn.

[pyxlated]

Awe yeah.

[TEKM0SIS]

I just jerked off to this video

[TheRealBeefStake]

Great video. :)

Though I think you will find the board probably ran on 3.7v lipo input (nominal voltage of 1 cell) with a 5 or 3.3v regulator. :P

Just me being picky hehe.

[luminaeus]

It's a good thing you explained things in terms of magic. I imagine your creationist fan base would be quite lost without it :)

[Ragecleaver]

Damnit, I was hoping for some chick with glasses, getting porked up the butt.

[AntiChristAntiFail]

The liquid crystal display display?

>:P

[Fishstickification]

I barely got my trousers off...

I love your other videos tho Thunderfoot :)

[newpa1n]

Came buckets

[v2keener]

That's lame that it broke, but at least we share the same set of mini-screwdrivers (yellow). Now I feel cool.

[BradanKAnderson]

I took apart my Cowon D2 a while ago, to fix a switch, which broke again, was pretty fun though.

I hear:

DJ Teisto - Suburban Train

[pamela42666]

Thunderf00t, I bow to your nerdly awesomeness.

[flangleelgnalf]

i cringed when he broke the hard drive ): NOOOO!!!

[brent35023]

i just came!

[flangleelgnalf]

me too!

[killersaad]

do nerds masturbate at this?

[Gguilford27]

The true men among us actually have sex with disk drives. true story.

[Scidadle]

Feels goood man

[jorge9705]

well I actually have sex with women while I think about disk drives and electrical current.

[11mrOZ]

@Gguilford27 sadly not everyones dick is that small

...just saying

[Alaron251]

Name of the song anyone?

[Alaron251]

I came, I love taking things apart.

[weedman753]

I love taking stuff apart. I need more broken junk, lol.

[iscay666]

......dats some good porn lol

[jryitoo]

nom nom nom

[rimfa123]

Wow, how low can you sink, harrasing people with porn urls. You really are wasting your life. Go and get laid please and stop masturbating over videos.

[kcholms]

Anyone managed to get a source on the music used? Would love to download.

[TAz69x]

same.; I'll pm you if I ever come across it too

[jiltist]

PM Me if you find it, too. Fucking awesome song. Now that I think of it, most of the songs TF uses for his videos are pretty cool. I wonder, if we all mass messaged his youtube account asking for the names of the songs, would he comply? I bet he would.

[fc007]

TF you're just too damn smart

[risottto]

I can't wait for hard drives to be obsolete. They are cool, to take apart, but magnetic coated spinning glass platters aren't the most secure way to archive data.

[SpartanOnFire]

Excuse me, but what the fuck are you doing?

[stupidpplequalstupid]

man thunderf00t your videos really are amazing, even when you dont mention religion you always seem to make your videos so the first thing that comes to mind is "ha,take that religion"

lol"MAGIC"brillant

[Thecreater2]

I can get this joke I came up, This Porn is so boring. xD

[brainfoodlunch]

marry me

[KaelHunter]

You know for a fact that never got put back together ^_^

[captainbloodycranky]

'Magic' magic!? Now I'm afraid you've lost me! XD This was cool - like my dad and all his circuit boards and bits of stuff lying around the place. Nerd porn indeed.

[m60yaface]

Haha this could be me on any given sunday!I have taken apart nearly every thing i have ever owned! And put back together about half! lol

[lanceawatt]

Great minds like great music... Viva la trance!

[mparker18311]

Fap fap fap fap

[Quethean]

"'Magic' magic!" Hahahahaha! I love it!

[davelantor]

want to point out that, that was seriously one sexy hardware, will have wet dreams about this for weeks :P

Always wanted to open up the screen ... last time i opened a harddrive to get the magnets, i only manage to get one .. the other one was fused to the casing .. bugger .. Thank You :D

[Bazompora]

That's some advanced technology, allright.

... unlike my magic markers!

[Thedark008]

I think i just cummed.

[xkillernovax]

Sweet!

[YawnGod]

Ridiculously soft looking hands.

[firebadger101]

lol

[Macmula]

I came buckets...

okay... Seriously really interenting video! I've always wanted to find out how those screens work! Thanks

[Rice8Daddy]

That thing is ugly! I can't believe Archos made that thing... it served a good purpose.

[Korea4Me]

"That magnet is really powerful so that is why it is so hard to locate." Hmmmm, is that the Illuminati of the digital camera?

[SumoAnnoy]

Wait, stripped just for the what?

[SumoAnnoy]

I don't really see the point of this video. All you did was take something apart, which is kind of cool and all, but not really that noteworthy. Had you taken it apart and made something out of the parts... Ah well. I'll abstain from rating this video, since I'm such a fan of most of the ones you make. ;)

[lordofdrapes]

i think the main point of the video was to educate us on the use of the wonderful 'magic tape of holding'

[SumoAnnoy]

Guess that's why I didn't get much out of it. Nothing new to me, other then how brittle that hard drive was compared to others. I do like these new lithium batters that don't have the charged memory problems that the old ones do.

[Error302]

wow... i think i actually learned something.... wierd lol

[Borostiliont]

I came.

[jaysteinbourg]

i find it strange that i own a walkman that is 20 years old that still plays tapes perfectly and since 2006 i have got 3 mp3players 2 of which broke since then!

[BaconMinion]

They don't make them like they used to. For several reasons.

The first is to save money and make it cheaper, they use inferior parts and cut corners. This makes for an inferior, yet cheaper product, which ultimately has a short lifespan.

The second ties in with the first; planned obsoleteness so as to make more money when the device breaks or something new comes out a year or so later (they figure the old one won't last more than a year anyway).

[salsucks101]

its gettinh hot in here lol jk u nerds

[Cam2016]

You got really fast hands :p

[JaggerBacardi]

Was watching this with my gf and she saw the title. Walked away saying "Don't get hard now..." I love taking apart stuff to and putting then back together. Its almost relaxing.

[BlizBob]

The little nerd in me is satisfied.

[IllPropaganda]

I used this video in a mash up:

watch?v=GrtWiEZSi78

[slipknotkid7]

jeez the future gonna suck because all the smart people that know how to create shit like this are gonna die out without passing on the knowledge... lol the world is doomed

[VerdantNight]

*whoosh*

That was the sound of most of this video going right over my head while I was still somehow fascinated anyway. It's amazing what we can do now.

[WishingForSerenity]

Simply incredible that less then 20 years ago I was amazed by this giant block of metal that contained a "miraculous" 20 mb of harddisk space in my Commodore PC-20 and now look at that 20 Gb harddrive of yours!

Magic.

[Vandrandelik]

I just came...

[ollyk22]

Next seen on ebay - spares or repair :)

[devil238]

In regard to the hard drive;

"As you can see the technology is fearsome"

Later;

"This was an Archos Mini, the hard drive had crashed on it"

Heh.

[Alkarin11]

thats hot.

[Poodlesoup]

Ooh! You're a naughty little hard drive aren't you? Crashing like that with your shiny shiny surface and your nice little lithium cell.

You like it when I play with your magnets? Do ya?

Damnit..... I better have a cold shower now before I have a look at my 500 Gig hard drive. Yeah I like the big ones...

[Lollocide]

You must have a tiny 'personal' hard drive, my 'personal' hard drive is a tb.

Innuendo go!

[GnosticAtheist]

*fappfappfappfapp*

[llamzrt]

Win.

[BSU212]

lol such a smart ass , I love it lol.

[omiteru]

How far technology has advanced.

[PoppyTheToppy]

you just wasted about 100 dollars on that?

[dalinean]

when did they start using ceramic (glass) drives?

my collection of hdd disks are mostly aluminium alloy of some kind

[menkejo]

shut up fag

[EvanPwnsYou]

that was a great 30 seconds of waste of time

[jdevelin]

Thunderfoot, this was pretty awesome. One little nitpick, the LCD screen is translucent, not transparent. Jump starting the car was pretty cool, too.

[mikeyman211]

That did a great job at killing 8 minutes, cheers.

Are you gonna start doin this stuff more often cos it's pretty interesting.

[numbcore]

haha thunder is so smart

[JamaicanMon]

i can 2 of the songs

Tiesto - Suburban Train

perpetuous dreamer - the sound of goodbye

idk about the first one

[IdontlikeusingLOL]

nice music can you post em in the description eventually?

[stefano10c]

ehmm

[NomadSoul76]

Incidentally I'm reasonably sure that Thunderf00t makes use of brushless motors in his RC airplanes, you almost never use a 3 cell li-po battery with brushed motors. Besides almost all electric fliers use brushless systems, they cost more but they're a lot more efficient and so long as you don't crash 'em they last practically forever.

[christo930]

How can you have an ac motor in this dc powered device? There certainly isn't an inverter in there, although I suppose the voltage could be flip-flopped, but that still wouldn't be AC.

Are you sure it's not just a dc motor?

[NomadSoul76]

"How can you have an ac motor in this dc powered device? There certainly isn't an inverter in there, although I suppose the voltage could be flip-flopped, but that still wouldn't be AC."

You need to understand what is meant by ac motor. It's not driven off of a constant rate AC current. Or rather, at constant speed it kind of is, but still.. it's a brushless motor, if you understand what a brushed motor is it's kind of the reverse. Instead of mechanical commutation the motor controller...

[NomadSoul76]

the controller senses the position of the motor and energizes the appropriate winding to keep the motor moving at the desired speed.

As far as I can tell, such systems are used in all hard drives as well as optical drives. It's a very reliable system.

Similar motors are all the rage in remote control cars and planes. In fact for a while it was all the rage to take the motor out of an old cd drive and strip it down and use it in an RC plane.

[PaleBlueDotCitizen]

Enjoyed that thanks,

Can you take apart Gordon Brown's brain for your next video?

[GodWantsBlood]

Try hitler's brain.

Actually, that thing was so pumped full of amphetamines that it would probably come apart pretty easily. :P

[Thanos82]

Nice video.

[theSrex]

And now TF, bring forth a soldering iron and a pair of ipod earbuds. Cut off the buds just before the point where the cable spilts, remove some insulation and solder either wire on the inside to the little points on the HDD reading head that should be located on the brown strip leading to the drive electro's and cut off the strip you don't need. Rrun a mono audio signal into the cable. Just stick an open soda can or a piece of stiff cardboard between the arms as an amplifier. Enjoy the magic!

[ColoradoTick]

Hard drives are soo cheap if they break it does not platter.

[tyle0031]

You fucking rock!

[Idolsofwood]

I thought you were insulting him for a second. How on Earth is calling him a 'rock', in any way offensive?

My brain eventually enlightened me.

[wizkid2000]

ok how is this not a waste of 7 minutes?

And all these people who are commenting "thats hot", "aweome", "I came", "your the best thunderfoot".... have you people never seen electronics before???

[ollie501]

And you were born with a complete understanding of the laws of physics & electricity I presume? It's not a waste of 7 minutes if people LEARN something.

[23flowergirl]

I have no idea or understanding of this at all but I found it riveting. 5/5 Thank god for people like you! Nerds ARE cool :)
