I have notifications turn on and I haven't been get notified when your videos come out glass 2 or 3 just thought I'd let you know
Hey mat i got you a creazy idea you should buy a short barrel shotgun and have a custom rifled barrel for it and shoot bird shot to see the spread
Can you just ship the pieces out there so freaking cool looking
Maybe try saying "sphere" next time, my 12 year old inner self couldnt concentrate on the video cus everytime you said "ball" I giggled and thought to myself.." hehe balls" it's no wonder my wife calls me a 45 year old toddler!
Can I have a gun? 🙋🏽♂️
Great video Matt. Physics stepping in here. That pressure cone you see on the entry, is due to how force is distributed. When the bullet hits, it compresses all the material under it, however, that force also spreads out. Shear force on glass (sideways) causes it to fracture radially away, while pressure downward does not. So, you get a cone of compression underneath the impact, and blown out glass around it. This is a really general explanation.
Bro you are so insanely big brained.
Huh, believe it or not that was my guess, compression at the point of impact and the energy has to go somewhere. And the fracturing on the opposite side is due to the compression at the point of impact creating a chain reaction in a straight line through the material causing stress on the opposite pole causing fracturing. There is more to it than that, but that's basically what's happening.
came down to mention this and glad to see you beat me to it. said it better than I could've
You are fuckin Gigabrain
@@roberthobbs6318 would it be similar to spalling like on the inside of tanks armor when it's hit with a round
Whoever polished that ball of Obsidian is watching this in tears.
Happy tears 🥲
@Gabriel Isaac Palima yeah, sad tears, obsidian may be among the hardest things to shape into anything else
“Polished that ball”
Then they look at the $1300 they got for it and everything is okay again
As soon as I heard Matt say it was polished Obsidian I just shook my head, as there is truly no reason to have used polished Obsidian (cut to a sphere? sure! semi-polished? sure! full polish? Nah, that's for someone's study...eight semi-polished balls would have cost the same as that one)
Now I'm wondering what an archaeologist will think in a few hundred years seeing all this volcanic glass in this random spot.

it will match the crater that probably ends the ranch one day. Obvious ELE
@@jur1297 Well that hurt but you were strait forward and i appreciate it.
@@NIKOS_GEROSIDERIS If looking at pebbles can make you money then you're one lucky guy!
Nothing, because it already has been distributed around the world to places it doesn't naturally occur.
I’m a physics major not an expert but I believe when you hit the sphere Center you compressed the sphere and made that point very strong. Your other rounds cause compression waves making the sphere resonate weakening it. The slug compressed a small area and the compression wave shattered the weaker sections that have already lost internal integrity. I’m going to show my professor this video tomorrow for sure!

Fun fact about obsidian; it breaks so that the edge is only one molecule thick, which makes it extremely sharp. For this reasons, some surgeons use obsidian knives. Be careful if you touch obsidian shards…

6:20 "That actually looks really similar to the glass"
Who is going to break the news to him that obsidian is literally glass?
Actually it's volcanic rock that acts like a glass
@@beze5444 glass is literally made from highly heated rock, my guy. Literally identical, the difference is glass is made primarily from sedimentary rock so has a lot of air trapped (hence transparency) whereas obsidian is made under identical conditions, except using igneous rocks and not sedimentary. They both flow over time, they are practically, physically identical in every way.
In fact, geologically it is literally classified as a glass. It's dark, opaque look is because of it's "impurities", what with it comprising of a large amalgamation of other rock types.
@@MechanicalMooCow you should Google what is obsidian made of. I never speak facts without facts!

Obsidian is like the epic version of flint. regarding how sharp it was, the first 'advanced' cutting surgical tools thousands of years ago were made of obsidian too
Edit: the wispy, swily gray patterns is not a feature of all obsidian, this ball you had was what we call silver-sheen obsidian, much rarer than normal black obsidian
rock
The Aztecs famously had some cool ass swords made from it. Tho I think European steel blades were probably more practical
@@seankelly378 I'm no historian but from what I understand it was rather ceremonial daggers and stuff to delicately cut organs out, not for actual battle
I looked into it and they had wooden paddles with obsidian axe-heads all around, it looks savage but knowing that obsidian is very brittle, it would be useless against metal armor, steel swords had less sharpness but so much more durable it wasn't even the same league
@@mapsofbeing5937 yea in paintings they look badass but clearly no match for the Spaniards steel , and diseases pahhaha
"this ball you had was what we call silver-sheen obsidian, much rarer than normal black obsidian"

I agree, slow mo of the glass coming apart would be interesting. I wonder if in the right light you would be able to see the compressive energy going through the ball.
Yes please
How bout a non newtonian fluid bro. Soft and chewy on the outside but hard as steel when pressure is applied 😊
This I want to see!
Really cool video.
Fun facts:
- Obsidian /is/ glass. So yeah, you're right that it's semi-transparent.
- The backside effects are from shockwave lensing, and our planet does the same thing for large meteor impacts. Also how shaped charges work.
- No cracking in the middle behind where the bullet hit, because that bit has nowhere to go. Shockwave passes straight through it.
- Glass means it doesn't have internal crystal structure like most rocks - that's why the shockwave can go straight through.
- That obsidian blade is about a thousand times sharper than a steel scalpel or razor.
- Also three times sharper than even a diamond scalpel blade.
- Dangerous sharp. I once sliced my thumb open quite badly with a quarter-inch-long spike of normal glass - it was stuck in the sole of my sandal, and my hand slipped a bit while I was trying to pull it out. Lot of blood, had to go to the doctor. Do not recommend. I was honestly really relieved when you put gloves on.
- Largest diamond in the world is just under 12 inches wide, so yeah that actually does exist. Give the researchers half a million dollars and they'll probably make another one for you, though that might be complicated since they made the first one in what's currently a warzone (Kyiv).
- I could have predicted most of the results in this video, but I have no idea what a 12" diamond ball would do. Could explode, could shatter, could just completely ignore whatever you hit it with. And hell yeah I'd love to see you try it.
"that actually looks really similar to glass"
Obsidian: bitch I am glass
Underrated
Thank you.
Yes
Heard that conversation here, too, Doc. 🤣👍
Just way way way sharper
Just to explain the weird shearing... When a bullet hits the sphere dead-on, it's compressing the sphere. The sphere has enough strength to resist the compression, rejecting the force of the bullet. That's why the bullet doesn't really penetrate. And because that force has been stopped from going forwards, it has to go somewhere else, so it crashes outwards and sideways, shearing off the pieces.
also its amplified by the crystalline structure
It’s called conchoidal fracture. Happens on material with no planar crystal structure. Plastic, glass, Resins, and most silicate minerals break that way.
Yeah, I really love this content but I'm tired of hearing "weeeeeeird" over simple physics you can figure out from playing with a beer bottle, drunk.
sreesyam mohan glass has no crystalline structure, it’s amorphous
@@connorgoldsberry2700 you make the videos then
I always love the skits at the beginning of every episode
10:55 I’m no physics expert but the center of the sphere has the highest density of mass and the shockwave of the impact has less mass on the surrounding surfaces just 4 inches from the impact site alone is the difference in something like tissue paper vs the center impact point being cardboard paper. Bad analogy but hope that clears it up a bit. Center dense snow withhold the shockwave sides are fragile and that’s why often time you get those razor sharp sheers
Him: it’s very similar to glass.
The obsidian: literally volcanic glass

Yeah I but Matt does not look at his comment’s
@@Ricky-wy6dl Plot twist :he does look at the comments but doesn’t heart them
Tell him what?
Is a glass bro
About the weird crack in the back. I recently saw a video on I-beam testing, when you apply a load, it actually rotates inside, pull neutral & press, so the bullet is like a load on a brick (I-beam), the center is compressed the sides are fine & the back is pulled away. Additionally, since it's a kinetic hit, it can act as a marble swing set, where a ball hits a set of balls & the end ball only moves (compression to decompression like a water wave splash). This is how I currently understand it from random videos off the internet.
8:48 SUPER SHARP! "CONTINUES RUBBING FINGER ON IT" 😂
"Wow that was real similar to the glass" "is it more rock or glass?" Because it's volcanic glass
America fuck yeah
It's essentially impure glass. Both are sillicon oxides. Obsidian just contains some impurities (different other metal oxides like aluminum, sodium and potassium oxides, maybe even some boron oxides).
A .357 magnum is slightly larger than a 9mm. A 9mm is basically a .354 caliber. Also, the Native Americans used obsidian for arrowheads because it can get razor sharp. Also, the reason that the back end gets damaged is because of energy transfer. If you have seen a Newton’s cradle, it is basically the same concept. The energy passes through the obsidian and to the back side. The reason the bullet is intact in the center of the impact is because the obsidian absorbs most of the energy, taking it away from the bullet, leaving it intact. It is the same reason meteors don’t get completely destroyed on impact.
Nobody gone talk about how hard the cameraman flinched when he shot the 9 😂😂 i started dying laughing
I was looking for a comment saying this 😂🤣😂🤣
Plot twist, camera man is Mayer
@@zivby1750 same 🤣

Not sure if it's at all close to the same thing but diamond saw blades? The giant balls are pretty interesting. Be neat to see a Side by side some days of a bunch of different minerals or maybe get ingots of different metals.
Obsidian...a volvanic rock. This is actually extremely interesting from a scientific viewpoint. They have recently discovered a planet made of obsidian that sucks in more light than if reflects. Good stuff.
Oh boy, imagine the damage you could cause just by shooting the surface
Neat. Wish I could have been born later to explore space. I seriously doubt maned space exploration will be a thing while I'm alive.
@@smithsmith1956 It may never be a thing, unfortunately, at last not outside our galaxy. Such travel would probably require a massive space ship where life can sustain itself for generations. There's so many factors that come into play.
Nuke it, I wanna see how bad the fractures are. That, or throw a fatass asteroid at it. Would be dope
An object that absorbs more light than it is reflecting? That’s not fancy at all… Literally any object which absorbs at least >50% of the incoming light fits that definition. Earth absorbes around 70% of the incoming light so what’s the big deal?
Obsidian still isn’t as tough as Kentucky Ballistics 💪

Matt or maybe he got hit with a piece of obsidian
Lol
I was looking In the comments for someone who saw it to
I thought maybe they got hit
This is like ballistic flint knapping. Really interesting!
The point of pressure becomes the most dense point when the bullet hits so is stays together and the sides break off. As for the back the force from the bullet pushes through and makes a crack on the back of the ball. Hope that helps with your questions😁👍

Because when the energy is focus in one spot it's absorbed and then it's spread out around the impact zone
Its like watching the slow motion of a gold ball being struck. The equator expands quite a bit more in relation to the point where it is struck. The glass ball reacts in a similar way, the point of impact doesnt stretch as much as the equator wants to, so the waves cause more cracks and fissures where as the point of impact less damaged relatively, since the point of impact has less of the force felt closer to the equators. In short when shot the glass ball wants to react like a golf ball, there is pressure trying to stretch at the equator while the point of impact has been less affected by stretch.

@ Bryson Mcconnell - Pretty bold and ironic calling someone gay when your name is fucking “Bryson”
“Wait, wait….only shoes!” Classic Humor GOLD! This is the difference between a mineral semi-liquid and a mineral crystal solid. It will behave similarly to the glass but it will not demonstrate reverse transference….the impact energy wave will only travel along the direction of the crystal. I can break in rounded patterns but they will be in the opposite direction as the glass. Both types of glass are formed through heat. As far as the sharpness. Western Native Americans. Used Obsidian for arrowheads and for shaving the face and head. It remains razor sharp and can be resharpened by chipping the edges.
Obsidian is just another form of glass formed when lava cools extremely rapidly.

Obsidian is a volcanic glass. And as with the clear glass ball, the cool way it breaks has to do with how is formed. Natural glasses are formed into its shaped in a nearly liquid form at high temps. Super cool

Matt - As a vet surgeon, you'll appreciate this: obsidian slivers are 10-100x as sharp as the sharpest scalpels, and they are used medically some places where that sharpness is necessary.
Obsidian is used by some surgeons for scalpel blades, as well-crafted obsidian blades have a cutting edge many times sharper than high-quality steel surgical scalpels, the cutting edge of the blade being only about 3 nanometers thick.

Obsidian is a crystalline material like glass and steal. When you hit it with a round the energy is transferred from the round, through the ball and back to the round/smallest pieces of mass. Same phenomenon as "Ruperts drop" occurs.
Since Obsidian is very hard and brittle, the round compresses the front without breaking the crystalline structure. Then the shockwave cracks the now weakened points of the crystalline structures that have micro cracks(the sides) because there is a difference in density(same reason the area the bullet hits is dust, the compression causes an extreme number of fractures). Then that shockwave travels back to the round and any small(relatively speaking) pieces. The same thing happens to the back. The energy transphers through the ball to the back, finds the weakest point and cracks it. From there the energy MUST travel to the smallest objects. Since the area's in the back that are cracked from the original shockwave they are much smaller(have less mass) then the big ball so the energy shatters them.
If anyone is curious why it cracks so weird.
it’s likely tension from its cooling process.
Also the obvious vibration causing a ripple effect at different frequencies all the way around.
Glass is a really weird substance and one of the easiest to see these processes from.
Guy pretending to be a fortune teller gets his future predicted by a real fortune teller. Sounds like a sick anime plot
Its a good joke but guns are better than anime
Reminds me of mob psycho

ok since u didn't say something then i would say *UR OPINION DOESN'T MATTER*
@@gachaanimations3035 why not both? 90% of the guys I served with loved anime and practically had guns around us every day.
150+ years from now, historians and treasure hunters are going to think some epic war took place on Matt's property.
Omg yes 😂😂
Or police brutality against an innocent young man who accidentally shot at the cops.

I wanna make blades with all those obsidian shards. They’re perfect💯
After the shot gun shot, when y'all are doing the close up, it's noticable that it did fracture the back. You can see the fracture lines, they are the circular foggy areas inside.
That lump where it's struck is normal btw, its to do with compression and shock waves. Shock waves are the reason for the fracturing in the back and sides. Its also part why the brakes are wavey not straight lines. It is "physics magic" lol.

Matt needs a slow mo camera. Imagine the replays 🤯

And the videos will start being 30 minutes long I’ve watched channels that do that
Needs to collaborate with taofledermaus
yesss
This guy has so many cool guns 👌🏽
It's always hilarious to see the difference between the BMG and everything else. There's just a huge gap in destructive power
