Earlier in June, a crash test was made on a gold Apple Watch in California. The video features an 18-carat yellow gold Apple Watch worth $10,000 placed in between two neodymium magnets.
The two magnets each have a 650-pound (295 kilograms) of "equal holding force." Filmed by YouTube aficionado Taras Maksimuk, he explains that if the neodymium magnets "collide together, pretty much it can crush bones, it can do significant damage."
In the beginning of the video, Maksimuk tries to prove the authenticity of the Apple Watch by going through its various features. The YouTube enthusiast also shows the back of the Apple Watch, to highlight the specs.
Before he goes on to actually demonstrate the process, he explains that the Apple Watch will be placed in between the two magnets, which will then be moved closer together until the magnet eventually smashes the watch on its own through force.
Maksimuk uses two wooden sticks to push the magnets closer to the middle, to where the watch is. In an instant, the magnet on the left spins for a second before it collides with the other magnet, therefore smashing the Apple Watch.
After multiple slow motion replays, Taras attempts to "pry" the magnets open to see how the Apple Watch turned out.
While the screen is clearly smashed and "nearly falling apart," the Apple Watch seems to still be working after being able to successfully charge the device.
GMA Network claims that Maksimuk does these experiments as a hobby - mainly to find out the durability of the latest gadgets released in the market. Maksimuk began making videos similar to the one below when he was a freshman in high school.
Taras Maksimuk gained a huge reputation and became popular on multiple social media websites after continuously publishing these crash test videos.
In fact, the video gained more than two million views in almost two weeks. Watch the magnetic crash test below:
