So this is why glass armor isn't trash in Skyrim, it's Prince Rupert Drop mail.
unless in skyrim was made in mails and not plates i would be on your side but no it is trash
Edit: it's been 5 years I didn't even remember this comment
MARCOSHAK100 t could be made of a crystalline structure similar to glass (but a bit tougher)
Don't Censor Yeah, it's made out of malachite.
Don't Censor Malachite exists in real life btw, it's named after the ancient Egyptian afterlife, the Fields of Malachite.
aluminium glass?

We should tell the Hydraulic Press Channel about this
I agree

"I have students who are testosterone charged" lol

Sundude you don't know what your talking about
I bet some of those students have a Prince Albert

Sundude it means that they inject steroids.. artificial testosterone
this guy actually speaks in a very interesting way

Many engineers speak in this manner. We do it in order to not be mistaken. Often we will imagine hearing ourselves for the first time, as if we are learning each topic we discuss as a complete stranger. We don't want to tell you anything false, and we don't want to have you assume anything and blame us for leading you to these conclusions.
reminds me of Lt Dangle from reno 911. not in a mean way, I loved that show

+Hakasauars lololol
Jimmy Recard I don't understand why I can't swim now that I am older. I out swam millions in my early days. It was the only race I've ever came in first place.
+Hakasauars you were able to swim way before you showed any sign of consciousness :)
+Hakasauars Actually it's very unlikely that the first sperm to arrive at the ovule is the one that penetrates it. They usually hang around it trying to get in, and many die in this process. It's sometimes a matter of luck instead of strength or speed.
A LOT of things are stronger than steel, *toughness* however is an entirely different matter. Not so many things are tougher then steel.

Haha, nice.
Prince Rupert's drops vs hydraulic press

YeppyNope
Except you only have to attack it once.
Not three times.
@Georgianna Markovic that's Achilles
the world always needs more student instructors like this. god bless you and good teachers everywhere
Imagine making those bullets, and somehow making them in a way where the tail brakes on impact. The devastating injuries from the impact, the burst, and the shards

Here’s your answer to if Rubert Drops would be good as a bullet, just combine the two together. Quite disappointing
4:36 "Did you catch that?" No i didn't because the video is in 480p and you were not even filming it.
Must be a 2000 baby problem huh
He was talking to his class you dipshit
@@Kevinrevenger 2000 baby problem? Certainly 2000 babies would be a problem for most.
Jesus... 480p is good. Best youtube could handle for a long time

''...see if i can move my fat fingers out of the way.''
Not Here "Did you catch that" while the camera person failed to show what was happening.
No, I didn't catch that, as I couldn't see what happened.
he sounds like one of Zach Galifainakis' Characters hahahaha
OMG he does
Zach from The Campaign movie!!
+Madhav Rale no Seth Galifianakis from his comedy special
Hahaha was gonna say that glad you did it for me and got it upvoted too
What if you were to reheat the drop with a propane torch? Would it just explode as usual, or would it heat slow enough to just melt?
you would increase the stress inside the drop (heating the outside of the glass increases the volume the outside takes up further increasing the effect that makes it so sturdy). It would probably explode, but if it's able to withstand the stress-increase survives and the drop melts it will upon melting rapidly heat up
This is what we need in our schools. Really caring and interested teachers in actually teaching.
Professor: *makes mildly funny joke once*
Everyone: I wish he was my professor
kinda cool ...but I have no idea how I even got here lol
I watched a glass Mythbusters video
I'm here from 9gag

Daniel Cho im singing this right know. BULLSHIT!
HardcoreJesus100 h
Vladimir Poopin lol laying on my Gfs bed makes me look like a douche bag? Right.
Windshield glass is laminated with a piece of plastic between two pieces of glass so that when it breaks the plastic holds it together so it doesn't shatter and form sharp pieces. The other windows in your vehicle are tempered safety glass though which when it breaks it forms more square, small pieces.
so not to be confused with prince albert drops
OMG XD !
You! yes you! get out of the class!!!
and let's definitely not get them mixed up with fresh prince drops
Yea but steel's heavier than feathers
Ng Yu Bin heevia than feeethez lmaoo
@Ellotherem8now that I'm reading my comment it makes no sense, I will delete it.
@Nicky Dee I don gettit
But do they compare to Prince Albert's Can's???
sgvpotter XDD Oh how many kids are not gonna get this?
Roll up the prince
can prince Rupert drops save an iPhone from a 100 ft. fall?
+Wavvy Lol
gizmoslip reffrence?🙌
it's a drop, can you put an iPhone inside a drop?
+Evi1M4chine No it isn't.
+Evi1M4chine gorilla glass isn't cold fast . . . completely different method
Is this the same method to make Prince Alberts?
i had the same association it just sounds like a wankstain
I watch one of these videos and now they are taking over my reccomended videos stream FML... i did my time at school!
How bored Prince Rupert must have been...
We used to make these as kids and called them glass tadpoles. If you hold the tadpole by the tail with pliers and snap it in a glass of water you can sometimes shatter the glass that the water is in.
That's really cool!
Gives a new meanining for " glass jaw " " Dude has a prince rupert jaw "
sranjesuper but this would also mean it would be strong as hell unless u get it at the perfect spot
l2noob4ul - Probably the heel.
sranjesuper The glass jaw on a prince rupert is the tail. You snip that with a pair of wirecutters, the tension built up in the drop is released explosively.
lol get kicked in the shin and ur jaw shatters
l2noob4ul *shin
Question: How big can you make a rupert drop?
probably not any bigger than an inch, Im no expert but I'm guessing that if the surface area is too large then there would be too much pressure on the thin layer of hardened glass on the outside and it would break or explode. like I said, I'm no expert so do be surprised if it completely wrong.
not as big as yo moma
^ mature..
but to answer the question, as big as you want, it's just the bigger you make it, the larger the explosion and the larger the weakness.
@@kitsilanocat Fo show it cant be bigga than yo mama tho! Skeet skeet skeet! :D
Your mommas big from what I've read. Keep it going guys
In 1975 a coworker who was retiring showed us this with 3 inch rods and a barrel of water . Heated about 15 inch of a rod into a drop in the tempering oven . Was about 6 1/2 inch in diameter with a curlicues stem of 24 inches.
Used a 4lb hammer and couldn't break! Then he disintegrated it by snipping the tail with a pair of pliers. Just a cloud of dust in 1 second. Amazing
Great explanation !!
I love your channel
This guy sounds like Sheldon Cooper if he were raised in the country.
But- Sheldon was raised in Texas-
+Hughes Enterprises ha ha ha yep!!! I was thinking the same thing!!!
Hughes Enterprises But is missing the accent ;)
Nah, he's not talking too fast, or rapidly inhaling air in every single pause of every single sentence, and he doesn't carry himself like a grasshopper, and his face doesn't look like you completely shaved a cat's face then hung it by its scalp GOD I FUCKING HATE JIM PARSONS.
Sheldon was raised in the country
This drop harder than my mixtape
Why wasn't there even one teacher during my youth as good as this one.
I hate to correct a professor, but the front windscreen in a car is laminated soft glass and not tempered. It's extremely important that the windscreen stays intact during an accident. However, the side windows and the rear window is tempered to allow for the escape of the driver and the passengers. It's this tempered glass that forms tiny cubes, laminated glass cracks into much larger pieces, but is held intact by the lamination.
he's like a 60 year old sheldon
Joshua Chhakchhuak that's what I thought too
He was my highschool chemistry teacher lol
Sheldon is a physicist not a chemistry teacher xD
lol, the guy in the video was my chemistry teacher. His name is Mr. Long teaches at Rogers High School in Rogers, Arkansas
RisingNinjaMC wow! XDXD! Minecraft! mUch Wow!
But jet fuel cant melt prince ruberts drops!
+Otto Oh wow, that was funny, so original, lets ignore the other people who said the same thing earlier~
This is my highschool chemistry teacher! I just randomly found this video while surfing through TH-cam lol
+Grant McQueen You are gay
+Giovanni Orsi this comment made no sense
+PoPe He's one of my friends just being dumb
I was asking "what is it?" Then I started a video and it just started to explain it, couldn't be anymore perfectly time.
"glass bag"
That's pretty dank. Wish I had one.
I would love to see these made in space. I wonder if, when made in microgravity, if the tail could be completely included into the center of the drop.
my chemistry teacher loves this channel so much.
Fascinating!, immediately upon the demonstration of breaking the tail, the surface tension of water is what it reminded me of.
what happends if you make a huge one? like the size of a car?
dar even sledgehammer to the thicker side, and makes a bigger explosion when you break the tail
+R34P3R813 a golf ball sized one could withstand it.
people are shooting those things and it survives
dar even j
you can make it as a glass bomb to blind people at least
What happens if you do this experiment in space, where you can place a molten glass sphere in water without it forming a tail?
Sure wouldn't it just not separate from the rod???
Rupert's balls! the first thing that came to my mind :-p
SerpentSword _ Nothing says you have to use a rod, you can just use a chunk. Heat it from two sides so the Bernoulli principle keeps it in place and KABLAMO - prince rupert's balls!
I guess the real problem is how to cool it from all sides at the same time, so it doesn't explode as soon as it touches water.
You'd have an indestructible glass ball
ofcourse and then it will came on to his face and then his face turn be justin B face
His voice is so easy on the ears. I would be interested in his class if he was my tutor. Sounds like Sheldon
I like how there is a perfect vacuum bubble inside each one.
Who else came here from 'Smarter every day' to find more information on it?
I'm A Human me haha
Me
yep
Not me for surr
Me
What if you made ammunition out of this? Would it explode inside your target?
It would explode inside the gun- Prince Rupert drops break whenever a link in the chain of atoms are broken because of the release of energy.
That is called a segmented hollow point.
***** Tail first lol, if you hit a bone it will just shatter xD
Prince Rupert did indeed discover these drops. He had his own laboratory in Windsor Castle where he lived. He performed experiments with gun powder and other items. He also found a new type of gun powder and a cannon.
I don't know a dang thing about Prince Rupert's glass, but I do know I like the sound it makes when it gets dropped in the water.
Bulletproof vests should made out of Prince Rupert drops.
Now you can tank 30000 shots
propane torch CAN melt glass rods
Vibudh Sharma its not glass, its rupert drop
If you search there is a fellow that shoots the drops on the nose and shatters the bullets leaving the drop generally undamaged. 120k frame videos show slow motion of the effects when a high enough powered bullet does destroy it. Insanely interesting.
"Sometimes, the drop survives."
amen.
so much strength when you beat on it (Lenny)
Titoepf X science is great for all of its sexual innuendos x3
Jet fuel can't melt Prince Rupert's drops! Wake up america.
Eli Kelley then how do u make them
cooler 45
The joke.
Your head.
If a lot of jet fuel is atomized it could
I wish I had such a teacher back in my days... Props to you, professor!
Really cool! But - it's in fact harder to crush it with the hammer on a table, compared to for example an anvil. The table is most likely a relatively soft surface. If you take a steel ball the same size (for example from a ball bearing), place it on the table and hit it with the hammer - it will just sink down into the table the same way those drops did.
But it's still amazing as normal glass will just shatter instantly at contact with the hammer - regardless how soft the surface underneeth it is.
was really disappointed not to see DJ prince Rupert drop a beat
I had no clue. That was actually pretty cool. Has any one tried to crush w/ hydraulic press?
Warped Perception has
The youtube channel "Smarter Every Day" recently shot some larger drops with a rifle. The slow motion footage revealed how the drop actually survives the initial impact, deflecting or shattering the bullet, up until the shockwave from the impact travels through the glass reaching and shattering the tail. The whole drop then shatters as a wave of sorts shoots from the tail end to the drop end, with an odd noticeable spiral pattern in the way the glass breaks. One of the drops he tested actually survived the rifle shot entirely.
how did I get here. I was chillin watching pranks and now find myself 6 minutes into this video. Crazy thing is I'm enjoying it. haha.
This video has changed my life
hmmmm... lets make a sword
Lock the tail in the hilt.
ACTUAL springbreak titties glass bullets '-'
testosterone charged xD
There, I watched it. Now get the hell out of my recommendations.
Hank Hill approves because you used Propane! Congratulations to you!
If you dropped it in liquid nitrogen and not water would it be harder from cooling faster?
Saberéase Era Probably would break more, but if you managed to have one survive, perhaps.
Short answer, no.
Long answer, the glass gets as hard as it does because the inner glass takes longer to cool.
So, if it were put in liquid nitrogen instead it would cool faster and most likely explode. However if it did survive it would still not be stronger, it would be much weaker and would most likely shatter from slight shocks like just being picked up.
No it
Would shatter
I don't even know how I got here. Or why I watched all 10 minutues and 46 seconds of this. Cheers TH-cam.
I cry prince Rupert drops....I'm that awesome.
I feel like this guy might have part of the inspiration for the TV show "Breaking Bad". Only because he sounds so confident in what he's talking about and is very easy to understand what he's explaining. Haha awesome video! I love Prince Rupert's Drops. Question: Could you potentially make jewel (fit for rings or pendants) from a Prince Rupert's Drop?
3:00 pretty sure ziplock bags are made from plastic.
1:35 What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone!
Now i'm at a payphone
Something about the way he says cools (cool , cooled, cools) just makes me feel good
very impressive. I'll ask my daughter about that... we didn't learn that in my science class.
Jet fuel definitely can't melt ruperts drops
Matthew Askari yes it can
loved this vid! great explanation!
Brilliant channel, Americans do this type of "kitchen" science better than any other country.
I know you say you cant do it with a bunsen burner, but it is possible. I do it with two bunsen burners angled at 45 degrees to one another and while time consuming, it does work.
Would letting the drop fall into liquid nitrogen make them even stronger?
That's not how that works. If anything it would become weaker because the temperature change would be too rapid. Would more likely shatter before it even gets reborn as a Rupert drop
Jon Doe r/wooooosh
@@nedzzi711 elaborate. Where was the joke in this? "Whoosh" don't really seem appropriate for this scenario. Might wanna try else where buddy.
Jon Doe just funny how you’re trying to explain wha’s happening
So cant you make these without a tail? That seems to be their only weak spot. Without theyll be unbeatable.
Im thinking maybe form a round drop first and bring the water to it later instead of bringing the drop to the water
it is worth noting that the flare from heating the glass can damage your eyesight. lamp workers / glassworkers use eyewear that protects against this
Wonderful presentation, I would bet that this man is an EXCELLENT teacher!
But can it melt steel beams?
thats pretty cool as shit
actually shit is rather hot. almost a hundred degrees. so it's as cool a a shit that sat around for awhile.
my shit is pretty critical meltdown kinda hot only after eating taco bell.
Hanna Jalon i seen a few videos of that in super high speed like 100k fps its amazing plain n simple :D
Hanna Jalon
o.o what if you double end it... each end is a rupert drop, so there is no "tail" xD then it can never be broken! (probably would never work i know)
Interesting little tricks to try with the Life's Engine. Pretty cool.
I want TH-cam to recommend me more stuff like this
Jet fuel cant melt ruperts drop beams
+Ryan Christensen no u
+Zani Man Yea... so funny.. even funnier than when the other guy said it a week before you, you know... the comment above yours?
what happen if you dropped a melted spherically shaped glass mass into cold water like this? you get no tails right? is the sphere stronger than steel then?
I'm no specialist at all, so don't take my word for granted. The best would be to get an answer from FlinnScientific . In any case, my initial guess is that you cannot create Prince Rupert drops which are spherical. The tail acts a keystone in architecture: without it, the cooling glass does not compress internal forces onto anything and therefore aren't any more solid than normal glass.
a youtuber named carsandwater done a similar experiment with a marble made of glass heated it up to a melting point and put it in water the marble shattered but his eperiment might deem invalid if you take into acount that the marble was deformed int the moving process
this was amazing, one of the neatest science based videos i've seen.
And Lennys mix tape is hotter than fire.
