Best Way to DESTROY an iPod

Thermite doesn't work unless you have really fine rust and really fine aluminum powder. I tried. And the ignition temperature is about 5000Â°C. You'd destroy the iPod before the thermite even ignited.

Its his choice, really.

Take some wet hide from a slaughtered cow that would be used for leather. Wrap the iPod in it, as it dries the leather will shrink and crush the iPod.

take a potato gun, load it up with a mixture of some vodka, rubbing Alcohol, and gas (use parents permission of course), put the very flammable mixture in the barrel, place the iPod inside. Light the touch hole and aim at a brick wall.

Loving the potato gun thing, but you'd need a high speed camera to enjoy it fully.

And a sabot, or else the ipod will just get really toasty and maybe make it a few feet from the barrel. Just get a potato, cut it into fourths (so that it looks like a circle cut into fourths when looking down the barrel), and shove the ipod into the potato before you put it down the barrel. Then the potato will cause the pressure build up to get the ipod out the tube, and fall away when no longer needed.

My brother had a spud gun made of PVC pipe. He had a sparkplug in the back of it and would spray hairspray in it and use the sparkplug to ignite it. He could shoot an iPod, granted that it was insulated or maybe placed between two potatoes.

Not that I condone the blatant destruction of brand new, shiny, multi-touch devices, but I think you should do it in a Rube Goldberg fashion... something with pullies that will tear it in half. That would totally make up for the destruction of any brand new, shiny, multi-touch device.

...sorta like gamer2's idea but the opposite, and less cruel (leather is murder, loljkz, but seriously).

He's destroying the Nano, not the Touch.

He isn't killing the Touch, he is killing another ipod to make up for the sin of getting the ipod Touch.

@CTFan: So, do you want it?

Oh... I must've skipped over that part. Disregard any occurrence of the term "multi-touch" in my previous post.

Since this is technically, a modding forum, have you considered modding it? Say, idk, hacking it up and shoving it into an NES controllers and put NES ROMs (all of which that you legally purchased) on it! :twisted

Okay, I'm trading for vskid's already dead iPod, so for all of you who still feel the need to complain, you now have absolutely no reason to!

A controlled explosion of some sort would be nice, but I dunno if I can get my hands on thermite in time for Christmas eve. The potato gun idea sounds pretty damn sweet, but I doubt my mom'll let me build one just to blow something up like this. Seeing as the harddrive is missing out of this one, it's got some space in it; how about shoving it full of gunpowder, dousing it with rubbing alcohol, throwing the match, and booking it? Then the smashing would ensue, of course!

OMG I GOT IT!

Attach it to a model rocket then tie around the model rocket as many firecrackers as you can and let it fly (with some short fuse for the firecrackers)

then go OOOOOOO! PRITTY!
