We all know that the family lawnmower is a pretty powerful machine. That’s why people keep their own limbs away from its blades and many people prefer to book a lawn mowing professional instead.
But if you have ever wondered exactly what would happen if your mower ran over a computer keyboard, computer mouse, graphics card, remote controller or a water bottle, we’ve found the video for you!
Lawnmower Drop-n-Shred
This video entitled “Lawnmower Drop-n-Shred” was published last week by David Kronstein, an electronics engineer from Canada. In slow-mo, you can watch how David’s mower destroyed water bottles and each of the gadgets mentioned – overlaid by classical music, just in case you needed the brutal experience to be dressed up as classy.
Lawnmower Shreds a CD Player
Last week’s video was not David’s first about lawnmowers. In 2008, he published this video of an old-style CD player being dropped onto a lawnmower blade:
Lawnmower Shreds a Treadmill Display
And in the same year, he published this video of an old treadmill display being dropped into a lawnmower blade repeatedly until the display was completely destroyed by the blade that was spinning at full speed at about 3500rpm.
