I was seriously scared pressing the largest one after even the smaller one damaged the blast shield :D This was one of most interesting videos to film ever so hope you like it!
Do a collab with the slow to guy's
*spoiler alert* lol
You have dealt with it!
The tail of the Ruperts Drop is weak, try a large one without putting force on the tail!

Not today...old friend
At least now you can make sure that your PB&Js are super compact. Right?

Heuuuddrlaoolik plresss
The largest broke early due to the tail being pressed into the puck. REDO
Hope people vote it up, so they see it and test a big one again
Agree, I noted how it was placed and thought the tail would get some force earlier and it would not last as long as the medium. Still insane to think of the force applied on those. Would like a repeat as well.
Yup, I saw that too.
I saw it happen and went straight to the comments to see if anyone mentioned it. thank you sir.
Yeah redo this for sure
I knew they were strong but I had no idea they could leave an imprint on the steel of a hydraulic press. That is truly amazing.
@Patrick Bateman Agreed, I knew PR's drops were super sturdy, but didn't expect them to make such a uniform dent on the steel press itself lol
You can shoot them with a bullet too
I’m not surprised. They can shatter bullets.
Now let's see paul allen's hydraulic press
@@harrylane4 Bullets are actually made of softer and therefore less durable materials than steel. This is so that they can spread over an area when they hit and penetrate a target, causing them to undergo more resistance and thus deliver more impact force rather than just going straight through. It's also to reduce frictional damage on the interior of the barrel it's being fired from.
The interesting thing with Rupert's drops is if you damage the tail whatsoever, it literally explodes. I think with that large one, you can check it tilt towards the tail, and it might've placed the tail under more pressure at an angle on the tail, which caused the whole thing to explode. Had you kept the pressure only on the ball/teardrop section, I think it would've gone much higher.
I agree on this. The biggest drop moved and the middle part touched the metal part of the press. This, likely, was the cause of it shattering too quickly. I was expecting they saw this and had a do-over of the biggest Rupert's drop. Cool video... but not a complete experiment.
Yeah - It looked that way to me too. The irregular shape of the drop played a part, but it still looked like there was a frame where the wider part of the tail / base of the head might have touched.
If you melt the tail of one of these drops then congratulations you created an unbreakable object
I agree, it looks like the tail hit the edge of the anvil.
@derrickhageman1969 actually I believe that when the tail is removed it makes it weaker.

finally I’ve been looking for this comment
Not the answer we need, but the answer we deserve
I think the one at 7:55 might've gotten displaced as the press came down, causing a bit of pressure at the widest part of the stem. That could be why it broke quicker than the smaller ones. That's crazy to think of how hard the PR's drops are at the bulb, and fragile on the tail lol
ye thats why it exploded
i agree with this. it broke prematurely.
Looked like it for me too. The huge one wasn't properly placed I guess.

That was amazing! I always wonder what happens if a rupert's drop is pressed! Thank you!
I think this is my favorite video of yours!
6:53 "And the shrapnel leaves the scene about 100m per second, I think it's good to have the blast screen".
I'd agree with that assessment.
they would literally have been dead without it lol. I also agree
Glass was going 360km/hr or 223 mi/hr
I agree with using masks and breathing apparati, thanks for the experience, but be safe you two!
7:58 - I don’t think the shape was the cause of the early failure, I’m pretty sure it was because the tail got pressed against the bottom plate.
That's exactly what I was going to write. I'm pretty sure it would've held up better than the second drop.
Yep this is exactly what I was thinking. Looking at the high speed of the medium drop, you can see that the micro fractures originated in the drop and extended through the tail. With the large drop I was waiting to see the high speed but it never came. Either way, I think we need a retest.
No the head broke, if you play in slow motion you can see it shattered from head to tail
I agree
Could be the vacuum bubble that caused earlier breaking.
I just love the joy in your wife's voice whenever something blows up!
8:54 the shape was fine, the tail was compromised due to poor positioning. Tail was compromised hence shortest time of explosion.
Hi guys quick safety issue here.
My mom used to work at a glass factory and when I showed her this video she was a little worried about y’all’s safety. She said that back at her job people had to wear special suits to handle broken glass because of all the tiny particles that resemble dust that remain in the air. It apparently can get in your eyes and if you inhale them it can be very bad for your lungs! She says very awesome video but be careful when handling this type of residue!
He literally says in the video "we have to wait for the dust to settle", so, I'm pretty sure they're aware of very fine, airborne glass particles...

You should push them to their almost breaking point and then test whether that affects the way they explode normally from the tail chipping compared to the non-compressed drops

Mr incredible theme
That medium sized Rupert's Drop could almost, in theory, hold an M1 Abrams Main battle tank on top of it. It took 67.7 tons of force to break it and a standard M1 Abrams weighs 67.6 tons. You go glass.
The Rupert's drop could handle 67.7 metric tonnes, which is more than an imperial ton, so the drop could actually handle much more than the weight of the tank
@@elisteele6481 yep the Abrams is only 61.3 metric tonnes (M1A1 S1)

Crystalline Silica in this small size is extremely dangerous to humans. Breathing it can cause Silicosis, severe lung problems and cancer.
Good point.
Crystalline silica is also heavier then air so in a non drafty area after a time all will fall to ground. They waited 15min.
The press is encased
Aw man, I was inhaling glass dust as a DIY asthma cure.
I think it might be possible to make a perfect Rupert's drop under microgravity conditions. Might be a bit of a challenge to figure out how to immediately immerse it in water without touching it or allowing it to touch the walls of a containment vessel
In a micro gravity surrounding, you wouldn't be able to pour the molten glass. I suggest that you drop it in a colder, deeper body of water so the glass can somewhat harden enough before hitting the ground/floor.
@@random_bs_goo9154 I think he means a Rupert's drop without a tail. A "perfect" Rupert's drop. In 0g you could melt glass into a perfect sphere, and then cool it quickly to make a spherical Rupert's Drop.
@@clintonleonard5187 @OP tell us which one
After watching the 67k drop, it makes me wonder if a very slow, low vibrating weight could be pressed very hard just on the droplet. I think if you reduced the vibrations from the press at least would let one of the drops easily pass 100k
Aliens were playing with a giant hydraulic press and made the big bang.
And that's how everything was compacted into the singularity. Stellar wisdom
I mean technically it’s plausible. Our whole universe was in a small, Dense state then it suddenly expanded and has kept expanding.

@@fuckman297 I feel like fiber glass armor would be a terrible idea, especially if a bullet penetrates it. If you mean Kevlar then that's a different story
That was awesome.!! Thank you for sharing this with us.
I think the 3rd one ( the largest Prince Ruperts Drop) broke early because the tail hit. When you started compression the tail started dropping down. I think the tail touched the pedestal.?
Again, great show.
Incredible, love this channel
For the big drop, it looks like the tail might have been stressed as the drop sank into the steel, causing an easier break?
very likely as the tail gets exponentially weaker
Was thinking the same thing
I believe he recognized that
I noticed that too. Hopefully, he revisits the big drop.
I scrolled down hoping someone had mentioned this. I noticed the tail being stressed before it broke and felt my heart sink as it did. That drop would have withstood so much more had he positioned it better to ensure no direct pressure was applied to the tail. Rupert's drops are incredibly strong at the head, but their tails are like an Achilles's heel. This needs to be redone and reuploaded for science... or for views.
For the big drop, the tail contacted the metal. Prince Rupert's drops has the interesting property that if the tail is nicked at all the whole drop shatters.
Yeah that's the same observation I had with the big one; it got slightly displaced from the press coming down, causing the slightest pressure on the widest part of the tail lol unfortunate but still cool results and experiment nonetheless
This is the best channel on youtube by far lol
I think part of the tail of the large drop was compromised by the edge of the bottom round metal cylinder (due to irregular shape, like you said). That’s maybe why it broke with less force applied to it.
In my opinion, you guys must collab with the slow-mo guys for recording these super fast explosions ...
Yes
THEY NEED TO!!!!!!
Thank you for the Steel nut comparison. It really brings into contrast just how *absurdly* hard the Prince Rupert's drops are.
I saw a video where people took handguns and shot the drops, most of the time the drops crushed the bullet and then exploded when the tail wiggled around too much from the impact.
@@Nyghtking Smarter Every Day made two videos about shooting drops. This is the later one: czcams.com/video/k5MORochIDw/video.html
Ether Melt IKR!
8:31 It looks to me that in this case the pressure was not applied evenly, hence longer mark left on the pad. If you mounted the drop with the tail part being horizontal, I would expect the final crushing force to be higher. Also, it kind of seems that you may have weakened the drop by applying force to the tail by the edge of the pad and we know what happens when you crush the tail.
Nice video! The exploding drops make me think of the big bang.

It would be interesting to do hydraulic press strength comparisons between a piece of regular glass shaped like a Prince Rupert Drop, and an actual one. Maybe regular glass is just as hard/strong? I doubt it, but it would be a fun demonstration comparison.
Regular glass does not compare to the Price Rupert's Drop. The reason the drop is so hard is because of immense pressure from the inside, while the drop is hot the air inside of it is hot as well, once it starts to cool down it creates a vacuum on the inside which drags all the sides inwards.
@@MEMEBEAN6960 Vacuum has nothing to do with it. It's all about internal stresses in the glass created during the cooling process.
@@MrHanowski vacuum is kind of right. glass shinks when it cools down, and the outside shrinks first before the inside does. then the inside pulls on the outside, making the outside extremely compressive and the inside extremely tensile
Thanks for taking the time to make this video and satisfying my curiosity!

This is actually incredibly dangerous without proper safety measures, even though neither of them were hit by the shards directly. You're likely to have lung problems later in life; even though they let the dust settle, there are still tons of microparticles in the air. The only way to safely sand or explode glass, is suspended in water. And if it's not in water, then run a misting spray of water in the room afterwards, for a decently long period of time. This is to weigh down the silicate particles in the air, and ensure that they are on the ground, rather than in your lungs. Best practice is to have a HEPA compliant air filtration system always running in rooms where this kind of crap happens, and change the filters after every aerosol-prone endeavor.
Sad these comments go unnoticed because they're the most important
@@paladinkhan
Yes because im sure tons of people have access to a hydraulic press
Also. It takes quite a bit of inhaling the dust for it to cause lungs problem bud. Quite a bit. A few experiments like these won’t cause lung problems. If you were to do it continuously for a couple months maybe. For a couple years? Yes. But not doing the experiment only a few times.
@@cadenbrown7407 Silicate powder is dangerous in the lungs in any amount. Doing it every day will absolutely cause immediate problems,but even one exposure can lead to issues not unlike asbestos exposure; years later, it's gonna crop up as a bad source of lung damage, and damage to any other parts of the body that any amount of it that may have made it past the lungs and into the blood. The people behind this channel have shown a repeated lack of care for finer safety details such as this, so I fully expect that the things they've exposed themselves to will likely bite back in a few years' time.
@@kmemz Lol. You are a moron. Silicosis typically takes 10 or more years of exposure to develop. It's highly unlikely that these people will have any lung issues due to this one small exposure. It's not like asbestos, as you claimed. One small exposure is not known to be harmful. Quit making things up.

The big drop shattered quickly because if you watch the video in slow motion you can see the tail was receiving pressure before the main part of the drop putting extreme lateral pressure on it causing it to shatter prematurely.
I was gonna say the same thing.
This is correct. I was calling it before it exploded
Indeed! I was a bit disappointed because I was really curious about what pressure the large drop could withstand. Still, these videos are strangely addictive! 😁
I have always found these glass pieces fascinating! But I am curious about the indent. I wonder how much comes from the explosion or is it solely due to the downward pressure.
As someone who accidentally dented a 40 ton press before, I think I can safely say it’s from the downward pressure
At 5:44 the slowmotion is hilarious we can hear the machine sound like a bell 🤣

@@emberhydra7621 thank you for the unnecessary input, do you have anything else to say?
the big one broke quickly because the tail was down and cracked first.
I want to second this point. The drops are very fragile if you apply lateral pressure to the tail. It may withstand over 30 tons in the press but you could shatter it in a similar fashion using your bare hands if you just snap the tip of the tail off.
@@philsangster677 I wouldn't recommend doing that tho because you would get small glass shards everywhere
Thanks for commenting that so I don't have too
Yes the tail got caught on the edge. They should redo this and position it properly
I was wondering if that was the case, watched the slow mo shot a few times trying to catch where the break starts but its so fast. Doesn't look like there was enough room to allow for the depression in the steel without the base of the tail making contact
Haven't sifted through comments yet so apologies if its already been said.. but to me it looked like the tail end of the larger drop moved down during compression and eventually was being pressed, and that was what set it off so prematurely. I feel quite confident in this statement/observation.
"In the name of science! ...or views!" 🤣 This was freaking incredible.
It would be interesting to see if you could pinpoint a size in which you begin to see diminishing strength.

You guys should wear a respirator while crushing these! Also maybe some sort of vacuum system to help suck the glass particles from the air. Amazing experiment!
You should check out their fire extinguishers and give them a citation post dated for the expiration date on the inspection card. Just in case they start thinking about ignoring fire suppression system inspection and just looking at the gauge on the side and making sure the trigger hasn't rusted solid yet by themselves and burning themselves and their families alive while carrying around an unsafe fire extinguisher that doesn't work because it's been 366 days since a serious professional looked at the thing and said "gauge is good trigger hasn't rusted off" as evidenced by the inspection tag last initialed a year and one family broiling day ago.

Hi:
Two thoughts: 1) film this in the dark, I bet there is a big flash (triboluminescence) and 2) put some sausage in the path of the debris, like if you had a finger there (ouch !).
Cheers, Mark * * *
Mark Beeunas I think there’s a visible flash when the 67 tons explodes the second drop. At the very top of the drop.
i rlly wanna see both of these things happen
Good comment
I doubt it. Glass is not quartz, there are impurities that ruin its piezoelectricity, after all, quartz is crystalline while glass is amorphous, and that right there is the problem. And triboluminescence is just visible electrical discharges and without the electrical potential generated by piezoelectricity, there is no triboluminescence. But it should be even worse for Prince Rupert's drops, because of the rapid cooling in their formation, it should be even more amorphous than regular glass, in other words even on the tiniest scales there should be no chance for any crystals to form.
Fucking interesting
I feel like the big one broke so easy because the tail part was smashed first.
Yep. Same for the medium one if you look carefully. The dent in the steel made the bolr come close, so it touched the tail, close to the drop.
That is exactly what happened.
What is truly amazing is that this is very close to a point load. I would say the actual contact surface on side is less than 2 mm^2

And it also demonstrated the principle behind the Rupert's Drop perfectly with the huge one... because of its size, the tail actually came to rest on the lower block and thus was experiencing enough stress to fail, and as we all know, when you nick a Rupert's Drop's tail, the whole thing explodes.
yes, becasue all the energy that the galss shell transfered to the liquid glass inside get released instantly.

Really interesting - thansk!
Maybe you could make a stronger drop by cooling the glass in concentrated NaOH or KOH-- try to do a bit of chemical toughening as it cools like they do with gorilla glass.
Hey that's great idea!
It looks like the strengthening is mainly by replacing Na with K in the glass, so if it works at all there has to be lots of K in solution to try to do some ion exchange before it cools too much. I think it will cool too fast to do very much, since ion exchange in glass is slow, but maybe it can prevent cracks initiating at the surface.
The process with gorilla glass is done at a lower temperature, about 600 degrees Celsius cooler. Guessing it is molten NaOH and KOH salt, or extremely concentrated, which is very dangerous to splash around, and is prone to explode.
@@sealpiercing8476 The strength from the drop does not come from chemicals reacting with each other. It's the way the glass cools the drop from the outside to the inside, making pressure while not being able to release it. The more it tries the stronger it gets. Hence the reason for it's super high fracture toughness.
pretty sure king of random did this and it wasnt stronger
