Thanks. Until now, I had assumed the envelope of the drop itself was still brittle. That was amazing. Those exact words are what brought my daughter running to see what I was watching, because I never say anything like that. I also appreciated in the "for comparison" clips when you smashed the super-hard ball bearing and all that potential energy flipped into thermal energy and made it flash into sparks.
Actually, there is a way. We do understand why the prince Rupert Drop is so strong. Similar ideas are used to create the ultra thin glass that is commonly used nowadays on cellphones.
Have you explored the feasibility of producing a Prince Rupert's drop using molten glass and liquid nitrogen? I question whether the resulting structure would surpass existing examples. ❤
Shows you how differently materials behave under extreme pressures. But in the great scheme of things atmospheric pressure is just one small slice of a wide spectrum. It is a rarity in the universe.
Why is this the first time someone got this idea? You’d think it would be its own subsection of crush videos lol. Seeing what’s the strongest Rupert’s drop.
IT's really strong if you try to squish the bulb part, but jou just gotta break the tail, and it explodes like a bizarre grenade. It's so strong because it's a droplet of hot glass that was dropped in water to cool down quickly, wich gets the forces derived from contraction as it cools down trapped, but if you break the tail, it's all released.
Somebody should do a increasingly powerful gun/caliber until one actually gets through the tough shell? Could you make terrible clunky but effective body armor out of clusters of rupert drops? 😅
Невероятно крепкие капли из стекла. Интересно можно сделать такие капли из расплавленной стали ? Металл ведь твёрже стекла и стальные капли должны быть твёрже стеклянных ?
So is the reason the bottom base flies up because of Newton's 3rd law of equal and opposite reactions. The force pushing down on the base dissappears so quickly that base having just been pushing upwards so hard lifts off the ground?
You're telling me the military has to figure out a way to make a lattice work of these... An entire wall of those with the tables protected would be ridiculous and inexpensive
What i want to see is what happens when you break the tail while it is under that 20 tons of pressure. Will it still shatter or would the pressure prevent it from shattering until the pressure was removed.
2:16 I stopped the video here. (After the hydraulic press got bent (a lot)! -and the Prince Ruperts' drop came out - unscathed). -I just went 😲 WHAT !?!?? -Just What-what !!! ??? !!! Anyhoo, I'm going to watch the rest of the video now. (I just Had! to say - something) -Cheers to you all, from Iceland 🇮🇸 -K. 😳
I feel like an idiot, but this has to be AI generated. If a material like that existed it would be more valuable than printer ink. I think star trek called it transparent aluminum. It doesn't look like ai though. I guess I have to look up what prince Rupert's drop is. Maybe it can only be formed into drops, but even then, this is just unbelievable to me.
My perspective: Oh wow! The glass isn’t even shattering! It’s just getting squished very slowly. Wait… it’s not… _It’s warping the whole friggin press around it!!!_
That is absolutely off the Chart !!! Wow..., I'm speechless The pressure that took !!
Incredible.

Prince Ruperts Drops are wild. "I AM CRAZY STRONG!....just dont touch my tail".
I would have ended the video with the tail flick explosion.
Season 1 of Dragon Ball energy.
It's the achilleshiel
You can melt the tail off to eliminate the vulnerability. 😉
Same can be said about most soldiers, touch their butts and it's game over
Finally... The hydraulic press final boss
Strongest piece of glass and the only thing its useful for is a paper weight.
And a shidd ton of crazy YT videos.
Clearly not up to date on what females are playing with these days
same principle with phone screen glass different production process ..no weak spot.
Why does it have to be "useful"?
@@zoecoom it doesn't. I just was thinking that something so strong should have more applications. It would be cool just to have one.
As a carpenter, the hydraulic nailing would save my elbow. The Rupert’s drop demo was amazing!
🤔 hum ... hyrdalic press vs a hammer, must be a reason construction workers doesent carry around large hydralic presses ...
Just use pneumatic nailgun .
That is the absolute coolest way to f up an hydraulic press!😂
Chinesium! That metal is straight up butter soft
1:47 Prince Rupert's Drop: *nokia, meme edition*
Hydraulic press: *slowly folds in*
That blows me away.I was not expecting that. 😮😱
Turned that bottom piece into the worlds most awkward spoon.
That made me laugh!
Legends know this has been uploaded multiple times on this channel
Indeed
Longer than I’ve been subscribed.
Did he ran out of item to press or what?
Because it uses slow mo footage from @SmarterEveryDay without crediting him?
It’s premium content watching people trying to destroy them.
If only there was a way to make window glass this strong.
There’s gotta be a way. This has been known since 1625. SOME day this will be used for something.
Yeah like some body armor@@liggerstuxin1
Actually, there is a way. We do understand why the prince Rupert Drop is so strong. Similar ideas are used to create the ultra thin glass that is commonly used nowadays on cellphones.
@ crazy. So now we can put our cell phone glass underneath this hydraulic press and it can withstand 20 tons. That’s awesome.
Above a certain height all windows are tempered glass. Same essential principle. It's expensive to produce or we would use it everywhere
The definition of a glass canon.
This is so crazy, glass stronger than metal😮
Glass has impressive compressive strength but lacks in tensile strength so much that you can't notice the compressive strength
If only there was a way to make a bulletproof vest out of those! Incredible!
20 tons! That was insane!!
Yeah 20 tons before the press broke 😂 the drop survived
I could not believe the Prince Rupert drop is so damn strong.
Until you touch the tail
Have you explored the feasibility of producing a Prince Rupert's drop using molten glass and liquid nitrogen? I question whether the resulting structure would surpass existing examples. ❤
At first I thought I saw glass deforming. It was the glass making the metal look like soft foam.
If the titanium were smooth, it would have taken more. The rough surface of the titanium plates scratched the drop, causing the fracture.
Don’t just couldn’t believe my eyes! Thank you for sharing
This was brilliant! I smashing success!!
That has to be about the most awesome hydraulic press clip I've seen.
THis is the most impressive thing I've seen on this channel. That's just comically strong/
Just showing how much potential can still be achieved from regular glass.
Chuck Norris in his early years
Chuck Norris only shed one tear in his life. Prince Rupert drops shatter in its presence.
Really? I thought he cried the Prince Rubert Drops.
Made a Rupert drops in the space, will made it without tail. This material will be indestructible
Unbelievable!!!
!!!
Crazy right science is amazing
The Ruperts drop is hard to wrap my head around?!! Yet break the tail and it shatters?! Amazing!!

Awesome video thank you
Rupert's drop is our reality's bug
IT's really strong if you try to squish the bulb part, but jou just gotta break the tail, and it explodes like a bizarre grenade. It's so strong because it's a droplet of hot glass that was dropped in water to cool down quickly, wich gets the forces derived from contraction as it cools down trapped, but if you break the tail, it's all released.
That is insane and amazing... Wow!!!
Wait what, this is bullet proof?
Damn. That's tougher than titanium and tungsten.
The vibrations are usually enough to break the tail, though, which breaks the whole thing.
Thats impressiv 😮
Genuinely wondrous.
すんげぇーーー！！！
Magnificent !
How come i never heard of a Rupert drop..? That's insane how it destroyed that bullet.
Somebody should do a increasingly powerful gun/caliber until one actually gets through the tough shell? Could you make terrible clunky but effective body armor out of clusters of rupert drops? 😅
WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!?! That's insane!!!!!
Good video!
I'm always sure to wear my new Prince Rupert's vest when I'm traveling through sketchy areas now.
You finally found something that resist your press
You might say the drop really left an impression on the hydraulic press
This is wonderful. What can we learn from this
That glass still gave those titanium plates a run for the money.
Out of this world experiments!😮
Невероятно крепкие капли из стекла. Интересно можно сделать такие капли из расплавленной стали ?
Металл ведь твёрже стекла и стальные капли должны быть твёрже стеклянных ?
That's incredible
Completely explained by physics......and Demons 😮😊
When your hammer and anvil get their faces smashed in by a little blob of glass... 😮😮😮
They need to make phone screens with this glass. If dropped from a plane your phone would be totaled but your screen is just fine.
@smartereveryday was the opening slow-mo from your video?
So is the reason the bottom base flies up because of Newton's 3rd law of equal and opposite reactions. The force pushing down on the base dissappears so quickly that base having just been pushing upwards so hard lifts off the ground?
I shall name thee, Achilles.
the color of the metal looks like lead, is this is fake?
That Ruperts Drop broke faster than the speed of light
These should be called "The Chuck Norris tears"
It makes you think if a Ruperts drop west would have armor capabilities.
This chan is growing in me an addiction for see things get destroyed >.>
That G-Shock didn't deserve that lol
Spoiler: The press was made of caesium all along the softest metal in the world and you got pranked haha.
❤🔥
👏👏👏👏👏 놀랍군
That's absolutely crazy. I know it was strong but not THAT strong.
You would think the rupert's drop would break internally around those air bubbles and other imperfections. What is that stuff?
You're telling me the military has to figure out a way to make a lattice work of these... An entire wall of those with the tables protected would be ridiculous and inexpensive
Explode a Rupert's drop under water with an underwater camera in slow-mo!
G-shock❌
G-smoosh✅
joke to say that a drop of glass can hold 11 tons
What i want to see is what happens when you break the tail while it is under that 20 tons of pressure.
Will it still shatter or would the pressure prevent it from shattering until the pressure was removed.
Eggslpodzon probly
Unbelievable that glass can push the steel out of the way.
Prince.
Prince Ruperts Drops.
What happens with 20 tons on and you touch the tail? Explosion?
I'm In the only one that wants to see a chandelier made entirely of Rupert's drops
Would a marble be strong like this, but without a tail, if it was dropped into a bucket of water after rolling into a ball?
Another wonder of Nature
Wow! Didn't think the metal would deform..
2:16
I stopped the video here.
(After the hydraulic press got bent (a lot)! -and the Prince Ruperts' drop came out - unscathed). -I just went 😲 WHAT !?!??
-Just What-what !!! ??? !!!
Anyhoo, I'm going to watch the rest of the video now.
(I just Had! to say - something) -Cheers to you all, from Iceland 🇮🇸
-K. 😳
3:47 How spoons are made:
Isn't this like a Prince Rupert or something? Just sounds really familiar or similar?
20,000 pounds is not 20 tons. It is 10 tons.
Not sure, but that may be kg, which would make it 20 long tons.
The Dark Souls boss of glass. Impenetrable. Will wreck your weapons. Looks like crystal. Weak spot is the tail
Is this real 😮 amazing
Holy moly!!! Silica glass???? What about Liquidmetal bulk metallic glass???? It's a titanium alloy in a glass state.
با دندان آن را خورد میکنم به راحتی😊
Imagine metallic glass shaped like this
What on earth does the structural matrix of the Rupert's drop look like?!
When will you try a diamond? Diamond vs graphene 😮
Too brittle.
Definition of Glass Cannon.
I feel like an idiot, but this has to be AI generated. If a material like that existed it would be more valuable than printer ink. I think star trek called it transparent aluminum. It doesn't look like ai though. I guess I have to look up what prince Rupert's drop is. Maybe it can only be formed into drops, but even then, this is just unbelievable to me.
Is 10k lb or kg?
So is it possible to make those without the tail?
No
It would seem not, people have been trying for over 500yrs, and you can assume the military from every country on earth had looked (are looking) it
I saw someone removing the tail without shattering it, but I don't know what kind of effect this has on stability.
Yes@@maynarddrivesfast804
Wow 👌
Wow! Knew it was strong but damn!
Então se fizéssemos uma nave dessa forma conseguiríamos atravessar a velocidade da luz?
I wish there would be a way to make my smartphone glass that hard!
My perspective: Oh wow! The glass isn’t even shattering! It’s just getting squished very slowly. Wait… it’s not… _It’s warping the whole friggin press around it!!!_
