Howdy Folks,
A few months ago I got an email from Christian that went into great detail about how to dissolve hard drives in Hydrochloric Acid.
I for one think shredding hard drives and then recycling the materials is a much better way to go, but in any event, if you’re interested messing around with acid, here’s how you go about doing it.
Disclaimer: I don’t recommend doing this and I hope that by posting this, and by showing the potential dander, nobody will give it a try. As you’ll read, you need to Personal Protective Gear and you will be producing extremely hazardous Hydrogen gas. Not to mention dealing with a highly corrosive chemical.
Side Note: FYI… Shredding hard drives doesn’t required Personal Protective Gear, doesn’t great Hydrogen Gas, and doesn’t involve the handling of corrosive chemicals.
But on with the show…
Very Exciting Indeed!
Again, I highly don’t recommend doing this unless you have extensive experience doing this sort of thing. After all, I don’t know who Christian really is so he may be an experienced chemist or a complete psychopath.
In Part II of this experiment, Christian fills us in on how to dispose of what remains after the hard drive is dissolved.
Talk to you then… Your friend,
Mike
Head Shredding Guy
