How do they get peanuts out of their shells?

Been watching "How it's made" for years, and they never cover this one topic. I assume they use water to float the shells after they crack them - but what does the machine/technique/method/device look like that does that cracking without cracking the nuts?

Apparently, it's pretty easy. There are a number of websites about building your own. No water needed....
