  • @augabachoo
    @augabachoo 7 років тому +109

    As a person who works at a warehouse, I can tell you it wouldn’t work unless the jump was exact edges of the box which narrows the square inches down to the edges of the box and not his foot. The top of the box can only hold as much weight as what seals it shut can hold, whether tape, staples or glue. And if you turn that point on its side, the weak points only compound the problem as now you have two instead of one weak points. On top of that you now have flexible rather than rigid walls which deform the shape of the box from its ideal shape.
    Love your show!

    • @Keltix1991

      @Vincent Bouma being dense either means dumb or someone who doesnt think before they do something, and a neutron star is the most physically dense thing in the universe known to man so i actually roasted you with science but pop off i guess.

    @GLITCH_-.- 7 років тому +759

    Hi. I'm a professional box maker. (kill me)
    You made a big, massive mistake: NOBODY makes boxes that are this big, used for moving stuff, made of E flutes. (E has only a waveheight of 1.0-1.9 mm = Thickness, super flimsy and DEFINITELY not 0.45cm) They're either made of B, C or BC or maybe EB. (BC and EB is double walled stuff made of two different waves. Very common) In this case, just judging by the looks of it, I would say it is a C flute, with a grading of 1.30 to 1.50 and a waveheight of about 4mm.
    This material grading is what we use in Europe to specify the strength of the material, different from ECT but directly correlated. The ECT is independent of the kind if box-form used. (In this case it is a FEFCO 201)
    The first digit describes the "number of walls/"wavy things" and the last two are some arbitrary quality indicators. (Higher = better) Details can be found in lists provided by the manufacturer of the corrugated board. I found this one, it's in German, but the last column is ECT (Kantenstauchwiderstand) in kN/m. www.horn-verpackung.de/wellpapp-qualitaten
    Meaning that this box probably has a ECT of 4.5 to 6.5kN/m. (1.30 to 1.50)
    A way bigger mistake however is that mistook the ECT rating for PSI. This is false. It actually means per linear inch: "This is measured in pounds per lineal inch of load bearing edge (lb/in), but usually reported as an ECT value (for example, 44 ECT)." www.theboxery.com/ect.asp
    So... 4.5kN/m = 25.6lb/in and 6.5kN/m = 37.1lb/in. And that means to get PSI you need to include the waveheight and the thickness of the two top layers. A C-flute has a height of 3.1-4.0 mm and the two top layers add about 0.1mm so lets simply use 4mm. (C flute is usually more at the top end of this scale) 4 mm = 0.15748 in, using 1 ft as the foot length (why not) we get a area of 1.88976 in². (Lets forget the second foot since you always start with only one)
    Lets be generous and use the material grade 1.50 with 37.1 lb/in (PLI) to calculate the PSI. I think it is: 37.1 lb/in * 1.88976 in² = 70.110096 psi .... But I am tired, need to sleep. Since you have to remake the entire video anyway you could also try to find a better conversion from PLI to PSI. :P

    • @GLITCH_-.-
      @GLITCH_-.- 7 років тому +77

      To clarify: I'm too tired to get the conversion right. And I'm used to metric units. I'm not sure if the last conversion is done correctly. I think you have to figure that out yourself.

      @hambr33zy 7 років тому +13

      Adalia Rodriguez
      Oh, I know. I am just suggesting that they may need to recalculate for the center and also take into account the added force from jumping and landing in the box rather than just stepping on it. We can’t really know for sure right now. Was this video slightly pointless but fun? Yes. Do we all need a part two? Even more yes.

    • @MsMouse-on2od
      @MsMouse-on2od 7 років тому +6

      At the same time it really depends on what type of tape we are using and over what area that tape is used. If the tape is laid down so excess lies on the sides of the box that are flat it will be stronger in the middle than a piece of tape that is lying to just the edges of the bottom side of the box. If they used something weak like painters tape and had either of these situations, yes the box would be very weak. But if they used a stronger tape like duct tape or packing tape they would have a better chance of the boxes not breaking. This is also assuming the boxes are empty and that the stuff inside the boxes is not cushioning the jump or step that the character takes onto them.

    • @hi-ougidemonfang
      @hi-ougidemonfang 7 років тому

      Also... the moment when you stand on the edge is less on the edge you’re standing on, when you’re standing on the center that moment is greater, but it’s about equal on all four edges.... but then this is becoming an engineering problem and I already have Engineering homework that I should be doing... so I should tackle those instead of a more simple cardboard box problem.

    • @hi-ougidemonfang
      @hi-ougidemonfang 7 років тому

      But I was really wanting him to look at it from the center of the box instead... not positive it’s weaker, but it could be. However adding in the Moments complicates things too. It could be it was already taken into account in the edge rating, and the factor of safety actually is high enough that all portions of the box could take that force and more... ugh.
