Michael Thurber of cdza joins Tara and Anthony as they attempt to break glass with the human voice. Will Michael's vocal cords be enough to get the job done? Watch to find out!
Experiment Tips:
- Place a straw inside the glass. When the straw starts to bounce around your voice has reached the natural frequency of the glass.
- Leaded, crystal glasses work best for this experiment because they are more delicate.
- A horn driver helps center the sound in one place.

The glass needs to contain a small flaw. The shattering starts with this small crack. The blemish can be too small to be seen by the naked eye.

please! i can shatter a mirror just by looking at it
finally someone else with that talent and skill!
Rad Domino AHHHHHHHHHH
Rad Domino SAMMMEEEEEE!!!!!😂
same
***** hello army
Can you really break glass with your voice? YUP. Look: testu.be/1grlEYT
AWSOME!!!!! you guys need some slowmo cameras!!!
That was pretty good. The ability to impact objects at a distance. Sound waves, like magic.
Now you guys can all apply to join the Kwisatz Haderach's army!
Karim Ussene Yup they need The Slow Mo guys..
i think i can beacuse i have 3kw PA system
My mother would practice singing hit the same frequency as the door bell and make the door bell ring XD
Wow XD
+Bailie Spangler not the same concept, but good try.
What do you mean by the same concept? They were using their voice to mess with physical objects, so I just wanted to tell a story about my mother using her voice to mess with physical objects.
Bailie Spangler Theres a difference between triggering electromagnetic forces by singing and breaking something by singing at the same frequency.
it wasn't an electric doorbell...
lol they spent so much money to break a glass with a speaker, when it has been done by a kid attempting it on youtube soley with his own voice.

this (sorry for bad english)
But can you break it without all that fancy equipment and just use your voice?
+Jonathan L yes if you can reach or excede the normal vibration of the object ,i hope you know that all matter is always un a constant random motion' then you can breaak it
+im that niqqa#YRN No its fake
no its not from experience and theory,as i said earlier there is brownian which states that all matter exists in a constant random motion at the molecular level ,whaat happens when you heat a tin glass like that it cracks if not break,because the increase in temp made the particles to vibrate faster than the normal rate,same applies to sound if it can make it vibrate faster than normal
only in the matrix world m!!!!1
Opera singers use that as training. Yes, its possible but also extremely difficult for commoners like us.
seriously this guy's scream at 3:00 would have broken the glass in the first place without amplification :3
"RAAAHHH!! WHY WONT YOU DIE??"
Anthony is so fucking adorable.
what a 'smashing' success!
To me, it's a failure. They were supposed to break the glass with their voice, not with a powerful amplifier. Too easy this way, and doesn't prove anything because it's OBVIOUS that such a strong vibration from a powerful amplifier with a directional speaker would make it. The whole point of the experiment should have been doing it with their voice and no electric amplification at all. Maybe they could have used the reverb of an auditorium to achieve some degree of amplification to their "natural" decibel level. ;)
Quite weak imo
Cracking joke
They didn't smash it
collectivecadenza i just "broke" your joke
Hard Science is amazing. It makes Science more accessible, and really really fun. Awesome work. ^-^
What is wrong with people? Yelling to the poor glass
Who tf cares abt it bro its litro an experiment
Just think, I'm pretty sure there is a sound high enough to possibly turn us into a pile of goo.
Pretty sure it would be a really low bass sound that would turn people into goo.
KidOnTheNet you ever listened to dubstep :/
yeah, brendon urie
Hella Awesome yes bitch
Yep. And a sound to make us shatter.
warning, many glass were harmed in the making of this video. viewer direction is advised
Lmao
+Co Quach this is glass cruelty.. we need to generate awareness. These people are heartless how can they do that! #savetheglass
*discretion
seems legit
You guys rock. Love the science behind this.
Great video! The scientists are speaking so rapidly, however, that it is difficult for my exceptional needs students to process what they are saying unless I stop the film and translate. Thanks for putting this video out. We need more.
Mythbusters did it with only their voice, no amplifiers or equipment.
2:04, favorite part of the video!
2:43 "so we can make sure that the pitch is over a 100 decibels"
Anthony's laugh @ 3:28 = Mario 64 lava death lolllll
2:06 "Ahh!!!, Why won't you die?!?!?!" 😂
Christina Truong LOL
Who came here from absolutely nothing? Like seriously, why is this in my recommended?
Cause someone else, who recently viewed a video that you viewed, also looked at this one. So youtube is like, hey he likes the same first video as person B, so show him the next video that person B looked at recently. It's diabolical Matrix shit, and it gets way more sophisticated than that...
The glass didn't break at first because pure crystal wine glasses are the ones you can break with nothing but voice. This is why they had to use amplifiers.
There was a lil kid who was able to shatter the glass by himself. Lol he must have a voice of an angel XD
Yay for CDZA!
Donald Trump: I'll reward $10,000,000 whoever break a security glass with their voice.
I love you THIS much👊
thaankk you sirrrrrrr
I MEAN MAM SORRY
You guys should do this again, but film it with one of those phantom high speed cameras...
4 minutes and 17 seconds of my life I can't get bek
YOU NEED MORE SUBS! IM RECOMMENDING U GUYS TO EVERYONE I KNOW!
my mistake hearing this from headphone, RIPS my ear drum, but the vision of Tara compensates me.
I was looking for a terribly produced video with low quality but I found a well produced video with OK quality.
no this video was wack. they cheated
and they were talking major bullshiy because you dont need to have 100 fucking decibels to break glass. your voicr just need to resonate with the glass
the end is what true joy looks like
They SMASHED this challenge!
I love their reactions! Such great hosts. Also want to know what the music in the background during the glass shattering was.
+Joseph DiPierno same here
Great indian classical singers were routinely singing raagas to make clouds rain and ragas to light lamps
Raag megh malhar for bringing rain
Raag Deepak to make an unlit lamp burst into fire
Shoulda captured it in high speed, I would have liked to see it break on it's own from sound, at massive frames per second.
Awesome Micheal is on this
Would this work with noise too? White noise is all frequencies at the same time and roughly the same level with constant variation. If you had a handful of glasses on a table, could you break all of them at one time with white noise projected at 100db?
RIP headphone users
I have tinnitus now.
Reading the comments before watching the video, thank you for probably saving my hearing.
lol
You are four years older. Hows your life like
Yeah but I'm still alive
Guys... this was done by Mythbusters years ago, thanks for the effort though
Saying Mythbusters did it is like saying South Park did it. They've been around for a long time. At this point, they've done so much they're desperate to find new material. So when someone does it for a scratch of the same budget, it's fun.
GeekFurious Except Mythbusters did it without all this fancy equipment. Just the human voice.
Yup
Great topic!
Richard Hammond did it more elegantly in Engineering Connections. But nice to see it done in a different way. I really like Hard Science.
"It's unbreakable. It's Bruce Willis."
Wow.
Can you please tell me how to find the kind of glasses that will break? I bought a box at Walmart and then found out they are not actually Chrystal. So it can get expensive trying to buy ones that won’t break. Please help me find some, thank you.
Just watched a 10 year old effortless break glass. Yet 3 grown adults struggle
Two awesome channels working together. Awesome!
i love the color-correction *-*
so much fun! I think you should have called in the Mythbusters on this one.
0:12 I love how the music just drops out when Michael is introduced.. :D
RIP headphones
+SuperLoyx I had a feeling this would be loud, So I turned it right down lolol
+Anon Ymous in the arms of the angel fly away from here
SuperLoyx ikr and he sounded like mario at the end
This was amazing xD
My ears! Haha. I shouldn't have plugged in with headphones! This is awesome!
I would totally want to see them try it at windows!
now kids, when it comes to videos like this, YOU WILL DIE FROM WEARING HEADPHONES.
your videos are awsome
That scream at 3:00 so happy.
All I can ever think about when I see these is that Alexander Pope quote:
"A little learning is a dangerous thing;
drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring"
2:05 The struggle when you're playing video games and the boss you despised is still alive
can you break bulletproof glass like that
no
psh
Not like that, but if you could produce ENOUGH sound you could.. But that would take a lot.. idk if it's within our technological reach or not. Probably if we REALLY wanted to build it.
I've never seen someone so exited about breaking glass
Can't believe these guys broke a glass with just that. I watched a documentary wherein a male with very high vocal range and a soprano coloratura from the philippine madrigal singers tried to use their voices to break a glass..They tried singing directly through the glass, used amplifiers to make the sound louder and a device that directly puts the sound to the glass. They tried evreything but didn't work tho.
I'm amazing at this i don't need special equipment or my voice to break a glass, I just do it with my hand and floor in fact I'm so good at it I do it by mistake and that takes skill.
Awesome!!!
fantastic!
this is so cool, if only i had the equipment hahaha
I have questian does it work if I did it with a high light voice or a high dark voice?
I believe my neighbour's singing can
Science is always fun!!
Anthony, that's an awesome shirt. Where did you get it! hahaha
How do you guys not have 7 million subscribers
You don't need that much decibel to break it. You need only the right frequency to obtain the resonant condition.
Where's the slowmoguys when you want them to record this!
Exactly, they should do a collab
It is not only a matter of "db", it is a matter of "hrz". Find the tune the glass vibrate, "sing" in the same tune, and ye won't need so much power of amplification to brake it.
You guys are hilarious :D
I have a question, can a conch shell break a glass if I tried hard?
Direct the sound waves directly into the glass
takes a few minute
2 boards hot melt the glass base to the "L" BOARDS WHICH can also be hot melted together.
Female Singers Be Like: Ohhhhhhhhh "Glass Brakes"
Me: "uses hammer" =3 I broke it
Lol
+Epic Emo O_O HOW DID YOU DO THAT XD
Male singers can do it too
Most enthusiastic hug I've ever seen 3:52
I shattered a glass by checking if it would resonate with my kitchen floor. It worked really good !
Female advanced self defence:
In case of emergency, scream at glass object to weaponize it.
its funny because my physics class just finished going over the physics of this today
does this mean that you can't actually break a glass without using all that equipement (speakers, microphones etc)??
good job
WOW‼️ This is interesting you guys are cool! 👩🏻🔬👨🏽🔬
Apparently they don't get that when we say "break the glass with your voice" we mean just by singing at it, not by bringing your Caltech equipment to help you along. Otherwise you might as well just use a hammer.
2:03 AAAAGGGGHHH!! WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!
Matthew TheMaster me when I see gay people
The Real Damon Jackson excuse me that's really offensive to gay people
At 2:56 if u double tap the right then back(if u want) its perfectly synchronized
Honestly any sound loud enough and direct like that would break it. It's just vibrations through the atmosphere. yes the resonance of the glass itself helps, but how much?
Why the repost?
My friend broke a pint glass with Run DMC - Jump Around. The trumpet at the start was too much for it.
it's weird looking at glass break by itself. lol. BTW I KNOW IT'S BY SOUND AND VIBRATION
Its A sign Of Ugliness xD
I watched this with the volume down just in case. Didn't want all the glass in my house to start shattering.
You can break glass with your voice, meanwhile ear rape memes can destroy my ears easily.
2:55 Michael is so happy xD
2:04 when you’re fighting a video game enemy that refuses to let you win
Slow motion of this would be nice!!!
Whats the song at the beggining when they ask him if its possible
You have to match to resonant frequency of the glass and sing it loudly enough to basically vibrate the glass to death
On Mythbusters they did it without an amp...
I played this so loud that my window shattered
This looks interesting
Things you will need for this experiment :
-A glass
-Your voice
.
I shouldn't have played this video in front of my grandpa's old glasses collection... XD
What happened? Did they actually break?
Nah, not really =) but kinda unbearable for his ears...
