Video: Old school tilt switch

Thanks to curiousinventor.com for this. One from the 'Found in the Junkbox' category....

A nice little video of an "Old School Accelerometer", aka a mercury tilt switch. Not quite the favoured, modern, smartphone way of detecting device orientation.

Apparently there is no wear in bridging the contacts, which makes for a good shelf life. But anyone know the right way to dispose of these?, asks the blogger.
