It would be very hard to rest it without breaking it on the factory floor. (I know I’ve played with many from returns or just ones that got left in trucks when the customer takes the shipment out of the box/skid) From my experience. It’s 99% of the time caused by someone not securing the shipment correctly. That’s the same with just about every other damaged thing we send out someone does something stupid like stack a 10 thousand pound crate on top of a tv or ship leaking hazmat so that it pours out all over the trailer and road. Nobody ever gets fired for that kind of behavior obviously (legit only seen 4 people get fired. One just stopped showing up all together and it still took them a month to fire him, one keyed someone else’s car, another got into a fits fight. And another brought a gun to work). I work on the freight side so I can only speak for large shipments but I can’t imagine other departments do any different. And honestly every day I get closer to joining you guys on boycotting FedEx because it’s absolutely ridiculous how much people can get away with (and sometimes it’s borderline negligent).
@@galacticnovastudios I was at fedex 6 years. The way the packaged are sorted almost guarantees that they will be shocked enough to trip the little sensor
It will reset if it gets a large enough shock in the other direction. However, due to the instability of the middle position, if it gets such a shock it's much more likely to go to the other shock detected position. The only problem with these is that they only detect shocks on one axis. You need 3 if you want to detect for shocks on all 3 axis.
I’m getting an image in my head of a delivery person dropping a box with this and panicking. They try dropping the box in the other direction is undo the shock sensor, but it just puts it past the middle in the opposite side. He just drops and flips it until he manages to thread the needle and reset the indicator. This, as opposed to dropping it the first time and delivering it. This would make a great comedy sketch!
@@Glass1224 what I see is a design that, when set, the middle is semi-stable, however the middle position is never stable enough for any shock force to be at the right level of energy for it to stop there. Think of it like balancing on a hill top with no friction. Once you fall off the top it takes a certain amount of energy to reach the top but by the time you reach the top you always have too much momentum to stop there and just go to the other side.
@@Glass1224 it takes MORE shock force to undo it's side set than it does to push it into a tripped position, so yes it is extremely likely to simply flip to the other tripped position. But it does not mean it is impossible for it to happen.
Even if you add 3 for each of the axes, if the shock vector is at 45° to each of them, it'll require a 73% greater magnitude to trigger (i.e. you could have a 43G hit not trigger any of the three 25G sensors). Perhaps not a issue in practice, but you can't perfectly solve this by adding more sensors of this type.
He means without tampering. If the indicator has snapped to red from an impact, there’s no amount of movement or impact that will switch it back (and therefore no way the package could arrive with a false negative).

25 g's is enough force to break bones... If you're breaking an arm on the back of a trailer I'd like to know, so I don't use your shitey company ever again 💛
25 g's is more than enough to break a bone lmao, you can break an arm with less than 3 g's of force, fighter pilots can only manuever at 11-12 g's for very short periods of time with a pressurized suit, 25gs is enough to split apart even the most manueverable and advanced fighter jets to date.
It's not the Gs that brake bones and stuff. If you stopped a detatched bone rapidly, it could experience 100+ Gs and not break. That's for a detached dead bone. For a living organism loads and damage are even much more complicated. It's basically the Newton loads, depending on pressure points, angles and leverage that decides what breaks and what doesn't. That's why trained people can experience 20Gs for a very short moment and not break a bone. In fact the time is not even relevant for hard tissues, but soft ones could burst (or bloodflow could stop, which leads to uncounsciousness in pilots over 10G ) if the acceleration is prolonged. The G-meter (here called shockwatch) is still a good indicator if you know the correct limit and direction of loads for the thing you try to protect or damage-assess.
When I worked at UPS unloading the semi truck of boxes (before they get sorted into trucks), they would always say don’t feel bad about it breaking a box, cause if the sender was in fear of their item breaking they would do more to secure it from breaking. And fragile stickers don’t do much when you have to unload 30 semi trucks in under 5 hours.

15:20 was actually kinda cool and clever. For Cobra, at least. I'm sure he just copied someone else but still. It fits with his whole wizard and potions aesthetic thing he's going for. Credit where credit it due.
We use a variant of these but for tipping. I work in oil and gas and as part of maintenance we need to remove and send out PSV's and PRV's for cleaning/repair and calibration. Once calibrated they should never be tipped past 45 degrees or so, defiantly not to 90 degrees. So they have a little tag much like this that shows green if it hasn't been tipped and red if it has. If its red, its going back to the shop to be re done. Its neat technology, I've never seen this shock type so its cool to see, and perhaps will come across them more as some of our equipment should probably use these as well as its shipped in from all over the world.

I've seen ones that have a vial of blue dust next to an adhesive pad. It's supposed to indicate if a shipment was turned over on its side. If that happens, the dust spills out and sticks to the adhesive.
I work for a package delivery company. Its funny when you see a company use them The more sensitive those sensors are the cheaper they are. So customers would buy the cheapest ones. Then when you saw a box with one, you could just flick anywhere on the side of the package and it would trip the sensors. If I recall, the prices flatulate a lot between sensitivities.
We used a similar product on refrigerators to tell if they’ve been tipped, yes, you can tip her refrigerator and it won’t destroy it, but if it is tipped, and plugged in before the refrigerant completely settles then the compressor will burn out avoiding your warranty. So if the tip sensor is ever triggered, your warranty is void.
We used those in 1984 on disk packs and other fragile computer hardware that was exchange with an off-site storage facility for disaster recovery purposes. Just like the milking machine many computer pieces, like disk packs, we’re very intolerant of hard handling. Those that we used actually had a glass vial with a smaller vial of red dye in it. If the shipping contains was mishandled the internal dye filled vial broke turning the indicator red. It was a one shot deal then, too.
When I worked in a manufacturing facility I would often see variations of this device for our major incoming shipments like HVAC units, transformers and HV control cabinets. If the device shows that it's been triggered, you can make a case for compensation from the shipping company should anything be found to be damaged or reject the shipment outright due to safety concerns
They do make a variety of tamper evident ones, including ink sacs that just burst onto everything if they have a high enough g load. Cant reset a stain.
I work in shipping and use these all the time. They are a lot easier to work with than tilt watch tags because orientation is very important with tilt watch tags
In aircraft maintenance, we often receive our brand new avionics LRUs and other sensitive parts with similar Shockwatch stickers on the packaging. The ones I've encountered so far all had a glass vial in them, with a separate red dye part which breaks on impact like a miniature glowstick. This is the first time I see a mechanical one, but it makes me wonder how they would get an indication from an impact on all of the 3 axes.
@@forthegod Just stick 3 more of them, 45 degrees on each axis. I think an impact that is diagonal to all of them is extremely unlikely. It would have to land in a corner in a very odd orientation _and then_ to not to fall vertically on any other axis. For small things I would use an electronic logger instead.
I have to order parts for my work that have to kept level at all times. The packages I order all have these same style button stickers on them except it has a little ball inside of a tiny tube with a dip at the end. It the package is tilted too far one way or the other the ball will slide into the dip and won’t come back out. Super simple but so helpful.
I once worked with a company that installed black boxes on train wagons and containers. These recorders detected shocks, tilting, excessive vibration and temperature changes. Very useful for finding out who's responsible when a fragile shipment is damaged. The train company, the railway owner, the shipyard contractor, the warehouse management...
I first saw shockwatches on Mythbusters and they were used to determine if a force from a fall/an impact would be enough to injure or kill someone. Not surprising that these are used for packages!
See I’d thought there would be a catch in the middle that is putting pressure on the red bit then as soon as there’s a shock it falls out and that catch now stops it returning
Mythbusters!!!!! That show introduced a generation to these. But I'll be dammned... I occasionally ship fragile stuff like vaacum tubes for audio and stuff. Throwing one of these on the inside of a box is a great idea! I wonder how pricey they are.
There's a few different styles of shockwatch stickers. I used to use them at work, the ones I had were about 4" across and vinyl with a small dye pack in the middle
Going back 30 years or so we used to have the “Tip ‘n Tell” stickers. They had a small amount of dye and sticky paper inside them. If the box was rotated or tipped over, the dye was visible. Similar concept.
Use them if you want to ensure proper handling on fragile packages. Most places will be "gentle" with boxes labeled fragile but theres too many people that work for usps and other shipping companies that there's someone bound to be having a bad day. But with these or a tilt monitor we actually had to make sure we were properly handling it since it was easy to trace back to where it was disturbed and then that handler would get a punishment like the loss of a contract or something
There's also a tip-tell. This sees if the shipping has been upside down.its quite straightforward, a plastic hourglass with sand in the bottom. If placed upside down, theres glue in the top half, so sand in this area shows it's been rotated 180 or 360°.
Remember having these on a high-end TV purchased online/shipped, around 15 years ago. They were [thankfully] not deployed and TV was all good. Most other TVs I purchased since have been picked up in store so that's about the only time I've seen them personally.
Bro I’ve worked for UPS to unload the semi trucks the first step in the process, and we do nothing but slamming. Not intentionally, 1st off the boxes are stacked to the to ceiling of the semi truck so sometimes we have to knock down a wall to throw all the packages onto the conveyor belt to sort, after that the boxes get slightly tossed into another conveyor belt to the trucks, lastly the boxes are tossed into the truck to not walk back n fourth to waste time when putting in order. And if anything the boxes will fall off the ramp where you sort which box goes to which truck cause there’s so many. This device turned red just by shaking it. It’s coming to you on red even if your package is good just saying. 😂

25 g's is enough force to break bones... If you're breaking an arm on the back of a trailer I'd like to know, so I don't use your shitey company ever again 💛
25 g's is more than enough to break a bone lmao, you can break an arm with less than 3 g's of force, fighter pilots can only manuever at 11-12 g's for very short periods of time with a pressurized suit, 25gs is enough to split apart even the most manueverable and advanced fighter jets to date.
It's not the Gs that brake bones and stuff. If you stopped a detatched bone rapidly, it could experience 100+ Gs and not break. That's for a detached dead bone. For a living organism loads and damage are even much more complicated. It's basically the Newton loads, depending on pressure points, angles and leverage that decides what breaks and what doesn't. That's why trained people can experience 20Gs for a very short moment and not break a bone. In fact the time is not even relevant for hard tissues, but soft ones could burst (or bloodflow could stop, which leads to uncounsciousness in pilots over 10G ) if the acceleration is prolonged.
The G-meter (here called shockwatch) is still a good indicator if you know the correct limit and direction of loads for the thing you try to protect or damage-assess.
@@Initial_Gopnikwhy in the video was he able to trigger it by just slamming it on the table?
When I worked at UPS unloading the semi truck of boxes (before they get sorted into trucks), they would always say don’t feel bad about it breaking a box, cause if the sender was in fear of their item breaking they would do more to secure it from breaking. And fragile stickers don’t do much when you have to unload 30 semi trucks in under 5 hours.
Never seen a human with the mouth of a shark before
You watched the video didn't you?

They need to sell little novelty versions of these, me and my friends would totally make it a long-term competition of who can keep theirs longer!!
Like a Tamagotchi in hard mode
I think they're cheap enough
Mythbusters taught me about these back in the day. Buster used to wear them!
Ive been looking for someone to say this. Mythbusters taught us a lot about the world. Between mythbusters and bill nye, they taught me more than any school did
You could attach this to your kid to find out if they're being bullied at school
Or you could act like you care and ask your kid.

15:20 was actually kinda cool and clever. For Cobra, at least. I'm sure he just copied someone else but still. It fits with his whole wizard and potions aesthetic thing he's going for. Credit where credit it due.
We use a variant of these but for tipping. I work in oil and gas and as part of maintenance we need to remove and send out PSV's and PRV's for cleaning/repair and calibration. Once calibrated they should never be tipped past 45 degrees or so, defiantly not to 90 degrees. So they have a little tag much like this that shows green if it hasn't been tipped and red if it has. If its red, its going back to the shop to be re done. Its neat technology, I've never seen this shock type so its cool to see, and perhaps will come across them more as some of our equipment should probably use these as well as its shipped in from all over the world.
“This is an air turbulence pad, this turbulence pad was attached to packaging of our new milling machine-“
Excellent use of a compliant mechanism.
The Mythbusters brought those into the mainstream about 15years ago
looks like his milling machine came with a thousand of these devices bc he never stops posting these videos 😂
He has made two (2). "Never stops"? He stopped posting about his milling machines packaging on July 24th. The craziest part isn't even how wrong you are, nor that you drew a conclusion from watching two videos, one of which was recommended to you after you watched the first. Nay, the craziest part is that, as of now, 51 people agree with you.
@@nonnegaardStraight for the jugular with this one, eh?
he made 2 videos about this and both are different one is a tilt watch the ither a shock watch
@@nonnegaardit ain’t that serious you don’t need to have a tism attack just because some made a funny comment about your favorite packaging channel
@@Vicepresidentsaturday dont care for the channel just cant really tolerate stupid all too well
if it turns red they usualy remove it before they deliver package to you
Well then it needs to be placed inside the machine packaging rather than outside
Source? I made it the fuck up
No they don't, they have serial numbers and customer gets mailed about all the details regarding them, if they try to replace it, customer will know. So on top of just civil damages, the company will be doing fraud. They are not that stupid. They are also placed inside.
@@TheDeathLove oh yeah you been there when we recieved all see through pallete full of glass panes and this shockwatch thing was ripped off
we got two of those pallets and one of them had this and 2nd one had only sticker with ripped of shockwatch
@@sgt.miningdrill2680 are you dense? Yes if it was ripped off, you can clearly file a complaint to the shipping. The customer and the sender both have the serial no. of the watches, if they have been tampered with or been replaced, one can easily track it. That is the whole point. Your failure to follow through proper steps is not a failure of the watches.
@@TheDeathLove
we had a schedule and nothing was broken or was missing
my boss would never even think about doing any of that even if it was broken
im literary getting fired because i bought more expensive gas in my company car
I've seen ones that have a vial of blue dust next to an adhesive pad. It's supposed to indicate if a shipment was turned over on its side. If that happens, the dust spills out and sticks to the adhesive.
I work for a package delivery company. Its funny when you see a company use them The more sensitive those sensors are the cheaper they are. So customers would buy the cheapest ones. Then when you saw a box with one, you could just flick anywhere on the side of the package and it would trip the sensors. If I recall, the prices flatulate a lot between sensitivities.
bro's teeth has never fell out :skull:
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
Please bro give it a try Seek God Jesus it’s not about religion but about a relationship with the Creator

@@Eduardo_3334talk about it with the people in your church, nobody here wants to hear about it
Bro Think He's On Discord
We used a similar product on refrigerators to tell if they’ve been tipped, yes, you can tip her refrigerator and it won’t destroy it, but if it is tipped, and plugged in before the refrigerant completely settles then the compressor will burn out avoiding your warranty. So if the tip sensor is ever triggered, your warranty is void.
I work in logistics, these are a life saver when claiming damage during shipping. ❤
We used those in 1984 on disk packs and other fragile computer hardware that was exchange with an off-site storage facility for disaster recovery purposes. Just like the milking machine many computer pieces, like disk packs, we’re very intolerant of hard handling. Those that we used actually had a glass vial with a smaller vial of red dye in it. If the shipping contains was mishandled the internal dye filled vial broke turning the indicator red. It was a one shot deal then, too.
"Bro have we crashed?"
"I don't know let me check the shockwatch real quick."
"It's red, we crashed"
😂😂😂😂
Amazon workers gonna hate this dude lmao!
When I worked in a manufacturing facility I would often see variations of this device for our major incoming shipments like HVAC units, transformers and HV control cabinets. If the device shows that it's been triggered, you can make a case for compensation from the shipping company should anything be found to be damaged or reject the shipment outright due to safety concerns
bro took his veneers off
daug’s teeth took a hit
I was hoping I wasn’t the only one that noticed. Looks like he filed his teeth or something.
@@Sullivanderousnoticed too. They definitely look off
I would easily pay $10 to have one of these attached to my stuff when buying things online, if it weren't so easy to take apart
They do make a variety of tamper evident ones, including ink sacs that just burst onto everything if they have a high enough g load. Cant reset a stain.
Finally a company making good content
I work in shipping and use these all the time. They are a lot easier to work with than tilt watch tags because orientation is very important with tilt watch tags
If Curly had one on his head, Moe would have done some hard time.
In aircraft maintenance, we often receive our brand new avionics LRUs and other sensitive parts with similar Shockwatch stickers on the packaging. The ones I've encountered so far all had a glass vial in them, with a separate red dye part which breaks on impact like a miniature glowstick.
This is the first time I see a mechanical one, but it makes me wonder how they would get an indication from an impact on all of the 3 axes.
It works on two direction only up and down
They just have to stick 3 of them in different orientations.
@@DiThi it also requires alot more power to trigger from diagonal directions
@@forthegod Just stick 3 more of them, 45 degrees on each axis. I think an impact that is diagonal to all of them is extremely unlikely. It would have to land in a corner in a very odd orientation _and then_ to not to fall vertically on any other axis.
For small things I would use an electronic logger instead.
I have to order parts for my work that have to kept level at all times. The packages I order all have these same style button stickers on them except it has a little ball inside of a tiny tube with a dip at the end. It the package is tilted too far one way or the other the ball will slide into the dip and won’t come back out. Super simple but so helpful.
I once worked with a company that installed black boxes on train wagons and containers. These recorders detected shocks, tilting, excessive vibration and temperature changes. Very useful for finding out who's responsible when a fragile shipment is damaged. The train company, the railway owner, the shipyard contractor, the warehouse management...
All FedEx packages need to implement this

Damn mans got the shark boy and lava girl teeth
I first saw shockwatches on Mythbusters and they were used to determine if a force from a fall/an impact would be enough to injure or kill someone. Not surprising that these are used for packages!
Why he got the chika teeth
chicklet?
See I’d thought there would be a catch in the middle that is putting pressure on the red bit then as soon as there’s a shock it falls out and that catch now stops it returning
Mythbusters!!!!! That show introduced a generation to these.
But I'll be dammned... I occasionally ship fragile stuff like vaacum tubes for audio and stuff. Throwing one of these on the inside of a box is a great idea! I wonder how pricey they are.
There's a few different styles of shockwatch stickers. I used to use them at work, the ones I had were about 4" across and vinyl with a small dye pack in the middle
Going back 30 years or so we used to have the “Tip ‘n Tell” stickers. They had a small amount of dye and sticky paper inside them. If the box was rotated or tipped over, the dye was visible. Similar concept.
Pretty sure they still exist. They have a sticker for everything now.
I thought daniel radcliffe was narrating for a second, lol
Daniel has a Dentist.
Use them if you want to ensure proper handling on fragile packages. Most places will be "gentle" with boxes labeled fragile but theres too many people that work for usps and other shipping companies that there's someone bound to be having a bad day. But with these or a tilt monitor we actually had to make sure we were properly handling it since it was easy to trace back to where it was disturbed and then that handler would get a punishment like the loss of a contract or something
They've got ones to show if the package was tilted beyond a certain point in transit, too
They should put these to all electronics ordered online
Wo sind die Dutschke die sich wundern das er englisch redet 🫠
They make one called a “tip-n-tell” too. I used to work in a warehouse that stocked these.
I really thought it was an actual watch for a second.
I love simple things, never knew these existed... I want them just to play around with in my free time
Einfach internationale moves. Stark!!!
I've been watching videos on the game Fallout, thus I came here thinking this was some sort of radiation detector.😅
Habe gerade den Kanal gefunden

Same
There's also a tip-tell. This sees if the shipping has been upside down.its quite straightforward, a plastic hourglass with sand in the bottom. If placed upside down, theres glue in the top half, so sand in this area shows it's been rotated 180 or 360°.
Remember having these on a high-end TV purchased online/shipped, around 15 years ago. They were [thankfully] not deployed and TV was all good. Most other TVs I purchased since have been picked up in store so that's about the only time I've seen them personally.
That only works for two directional hits. Packages need two of these shock watches, one positioned for horizontal and vertical impacts.
do you think this guy just flossed too much
Milled between the teeth for that extra clean feeling.
Sand blasted
They used these on a show called "Deadliest Warrior" to test the distance at which explosives were lethal.
Bro I’ve worked for UPS to unload the semi trucks the first step in the process, and we do nothing but slamming. Not intentionally, 1st off the boxes are stacked to the to ceiling of the semi truck so sometimes we have to knock down a wall to throw all the packages onto the conveyor belt to sort, after that the boxes get slightly tossed into another conveyor belt to the trucks, lastly the boxes are tossed into the truck to not walk back n fourth to waste time when putting in order. And if anything the boxes will fall off the ramp where you sort which box goes to which truck cause there’s so many. This device turned red just by shaking it. It’s coming to you on red even if your package is good just saying. 😂
Yes when I worked for digital equipment corporation and we shipped large computers, they always have these boxes.
Ich wusste gar nicht dass sie einen englischen Kanal haben😂
Ich auch nicht 😂
Dudes still got his baby teeth
I used to work for a company, where we made batteries for International Space Station. Everything we received/sent had to have a bunch of shockwatches (diff & bigger than these).
We'd play a game hitting/throwing them & first person to trip the shockwatch lost.
Delivery guy always carries spares 😂
We used to go out of our way to make them turn red in the warehouse when I worked at fedex
"But then that's it. It never gets back to the original state."

I see these everyday at work I don't know wat for thanks for the info
You can actually shock a shock watch in the opposite direction with considerable force and it will theoretically revert.
Now they need a multistage version that records the maximum G force it was subjected to
Yeah but they're quite cheap so people just stick a range of different strength ones on the box instead.
