How do the adhesive shock sensors labels with the red dye work?
How do the adhesive shock sensors labels at www.shockwatch.com work? They say something about a red dye, surface tension, g force ,blah blah blah. What does it mean in layman’s terms?

Watch mythbusters. They use them a lot. But really, the red dye is differentially “shaken down” into the scale by the force put on the label. Just like you can shake the mercury back down in an old style thermometer after taking someone’s temperature, these devices measure approximate force by being forced into a different area. Hope that helps.
