TechRax is a YouTube channel[4] focused on making videos about the destruction of phones and other technological devices.

[5] The channel was founded by Taras Maksimuk (Ukrainian: Тара́с Ма́ксимук; born August 5, 1993) on September 20, 2009.

[6] The first destruction video he did is titled "iPhone 5 Hammer Smash Drop Test -Episode #1-".

[13] He subsequently melted crayons and dipped an iPhone 6s into them, which then resulted in a major fire.

[13] A common video format on the channel involves drop tests of iPhones and other brands of phones, occasionally after encasing them in a substance to see if they would survive the fall.
