Ep 4. Coins, Speakers, and Race Cars

In this episode of Made by Destruction, the team takes on three very different challenges. First up are coins, and the team explores how they are made and how they can be destroyed. They visit a mint where collectors’ coins are made and watch as the metal is melted down and formed into coins. They then take some old coins and drop them into liquid nitrogen, freeze them, and smash them with a hammer to see what happens. The team also explores the fascinating world of rare coin collecting and valuation.

Next, the team turns its attention to speakers. Speakers are everywhere, from cars to home theaters, and the experts on the show break down how they are made and what it takes to destroy them. They visit a facility where car speakers are tested to see how much sound they can handle before breaking. They also show how a speaker works and what happens when they play music at different frequencies and volumes. Finally, they take a speaker and expose it to extreme heat, showing the viewer what happens and the science behind it.

Lastly, the team tackles race cars. They visit a track where they meet a driver who explains what it takes to race and how the cars are made. They then take a car and strip it down to its individual parts, exposing all the engineering that goes into making it race-worthy. They also explore the safety features and explain why race cars are built differently than regular cars. Finally, they put the car to the ultimate test, crushing it with a hydraulic press to see what happens.

Overall, this episode of Made by Destruction provides a fascinating look into the world of coins, speakers, and race cars. The team explores the science behind these everyday objects and shows how they can be destroyed. Whether you are a collector, audiophile, or race car enthusiast, this episode is sure to provide insight into the mechanics and engineering that makes these objects tick. With its entertaining and informative content, Made by Destruction is a must-watch for anyone interested in science and technology.
