How It's Made S22E12 · Solid State Drives, Eye Shadow, Limousines, Dead Blow Hammers

Overview

Flash-memory chips and controllers are mounted on circuit boards, enclosed and tested to create solid-state drives. Pigments and binding agents are blended and pressed into eye-shadow pans; passenger vehicles are cut, lengthened and structurally reinforced to become limousines; and hollow hammer heads are filled with loose material that absorbs rebound in dead-blow hammers.
