Bouncing Bullets off Water in Ultra Slow Motion - The Slow Mo Guys

  • Bullets can skip off the surface of water in one millisecond. Gav and Dan have always been of the opinion that a millisecond is slightly too short so they whip out the slow mo camera and make it last 5 seconds. I wonder if any of the comments will be about how in America it's twenty two and not two two...

      I've been following the channel ever since I first saw the red water baloon a decade ago and I have to say...my now 14 year old son watched this video with me and enjoyed it just as much as I did. I think their way of presentation hasn't changed since then, aside from that Hollywood production series they did once...which was also nice because we got many videos in a short timeframe, but they weren't as interesting as the "i shoot or explode something in a quarry and you film it" or "i throw something at you or you drop onto something and i film it" video which they are best at in my opinion. =)

  • @ElectroBOOM
    @ElectroBOOM ปีที่แล้ว +4486

    WOW! I think the tank didn't break because when bullet hit the glass, it curved creating a vacuum behind it, and with the help of atmospheric pressure from the other side, pushed the glass back in place not allowing it to curve too much to break! COOL! We should use water in bullet proof glass!

    • @Huebeiro
      @Huebeiro ปีที่แล้ว +103

      Yes! I think that is it! If you pay attention there is a white film on the glass the moment the bullet hit like a pocket of "air"... Similar to when those pistol shrimps create negative pressure underwater! Also, hi Mehdi!

    • @nullbeyondo
      @nullbeyondo ปีที่แล้ว +56

      Wtf, I was literally too thinking about atmospheric pressure behind the glass! The faster the bullet, the more pressure because the air particles has less time to escape, but also the water is much thicker so the bullet needs to be faster. It's multi-variable function that's all not in favor for the bullet so a super-forecful one is needed to bypass the "threshold" where it breaks, or like Dan suggested, just shoot at a less steep angle.

    • @TwinShards
      @TwinShards ปีที่แล้ว +52

      We both have different answer and wonder which one is right... I think it didn't break because the water absorbed the impact and vibration right after the bullet hit so all the energy was transfert through the water right away instead of spreading through the glass entirely.
      edit: come to think of it i think the answer is a mix of both 😂

      I was wondering, and scrolling through comments, to see if anyone else noticed that deflection of the bullet (the one fired prior to the first tracer round) flight path before it even contacted the water. I was surprised that Dan and Gav did not discuss it, though they offered brief passing comment on one of the tracers (can't take time to review video right now to provide timestamp) exhibiting the tilt. For some reason, deflection of the standard lead bullet was more obvious to my eyes.

    @letemfall91 ปีที่แล้ว +199

    I think the glass didn't break mainly because the water in the tank actually held it together. I noticed a small moment of cavitation between the water and glass which should be a temporary vacuum created by the glass moving faster than the water could flow. This would mean atmospheric pressure on the outside of the glass and vacuum on the inside creating a "split-second Rupert's drop" scenario.
    I would love to see a video exploring how much impact it would take to overcome this

    • @scr_films
      @scr_films ปีที่แล้ว +26

      I was about to comment this, it's also what I've thought, the water strengthens the glass because the glass can't expand due to the vacuum it created. The glass is pulling the water but it can't because of the weight and surface area of the water.

      Also Aquarium glass is held together with silicone, which holds some elasticity and gives the glass some leeway to absorb an impact without breaking, I would assume. You can clearly see the glass bending a bit and also being pushed back, while the silicone stretches out on the sides and some miniscule amount of water escapes.

    • @Killerean
      @Killerean ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes I think so. The water is stationary and will require a plenty of force to get moving while it shares a common surface with the glass. So much force that indeed there is visible cavitation on the affected surface where the glass tries to rip itself away from the water.

    This is a really good demo of why impact craters are always circular. Despite the low glancing angle, note how the bulk of the water is displaced more or less spherically. Strange things happen when something hits something else very fast!

    • @chefdano3474
      @chefdano3474 ปีที่แล้ว

      This is what i was wondering about in this video! You could see the water that was displaced by the bullet moving through it was a thin small line splashing up the sides and doesn't really affect the water under the surface much. It's the same type of water displacement you'd expect from a speeding boat with a very pointy bow. But then you see after it leaves there's this invisible impact force blasting a sphere into the depths of the water and I'm sitting thinking "where did that energy come from?!"
      With normal water displacement you expect that the water pushed aside from the bullet will com crashing back into itself to fill the gap, and that would generate an upward splashing effect, like the kind you see when you drop a large rock into water.
      We also know the bullet hit with a lot of speed, and the faster the speed of the object, the higher the impact force it makes. With the amount of energy absorption we see from the water (the mentioned 30% speed loss in the video) I expected to see some sort of impact force in front of the bullets trajectory. as the water recoiled from absorbing that energy.
      But instead we see this perfectly circular blast that originated from the back of the trail, and it happens well after the bullet has already left the water?!
      I have so many questions! Why is the impact perfectly spherical? Why does it form at the entry point? Why does it take so long for it to happen? WHY?! This is so weird and interesting!

    Those tanks are put together with silicone. When the 9mil hit the glass the silicone squished out and actually squirted material all along the glass edge. I'm even wondering if some of the material squirted out was actually water being pushed out through the silicone. I'm also curious if the reason the glass didn't break is because the water was helping to stabilize the glass and diminish vibrations which don't exits under non-water conditions. If you were to quantify the amount energy that hit the glass and translate that to a tank without water I would almost guarantee that the glass would break simply because the water wasn't there to absorb energy and prevent vibration. Absolutely fascinating and definitely more science needs to be applied in this experiment. Excellent video.

    Something I noticed: The moment the trace bullet hits the surface of the water at 6:20, it looks like that, for a split of a moment, the water actually moves faster than the bullet itself. As if the impulse on the surface of contact on the water is funnelled to just a few water molecules, making them move faster. Might be worth investigating!

    Dan is the best slow motion sharpshooter on earth. We need more epic shots from him like the last one!

    An amazing demonatration of how strong aquariums are. They have to be built to withstand constant water pressure for years without cracking or leaking

    That first 9mm tank shot is just *chef's kiss*.
    I bet the presence of the water next to the glass absorbed the shock wave, within the glass surface, enough to prevent it from shattering.
