How Strong Are Prince Rupert's Drops? Hydraulic Press Test!

You have dealt with it!

The tail of the Ruperts Drop is weak, try a large one without putting force on the tail!

@@aarni-2660 It's finnish? I thought he's Indian xD

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.

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

finally I’ve been looking for this comment

Not the answer we need, but the answer we deserve

@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.

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.

Yeah i think you're right

A human hair can do it too.

Hi

Its in the shape, a circle like that is the strongest shape in the world.

Glass is extremely hard. that’s why it’s so brittle

how? glass is well known in science to be harder than steel

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.

This.

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.

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...

Thank you for informing us! 🙌🏼

It's brittle and weak they should try a book or a anvil

@@JuanMartinez-hy6yf What do you mean?

I ain't going lie, that's a horrifying concept

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!

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.

THEY NEED TO!!!!!!

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 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

That is the most Finnish sounding pronunciation of a word ever.

@@shauxuhrwilsongrim no ur wrong its a government consperacy

Yall got me laughing

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. A family broiling day they asked for. I keep a fire extinguisher in every single room and I actually have them inspected a month earlier every year cost me a little bit extra money but it's worth it to know that I didn't kill my family by being unsafe. Are you allergic to peanuts too? I am. Dm me if you want to talk about it and maybe hang out some time you sound awesome.

@@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.

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

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

It would shatter.

You can't cut a Prince Ruperts drop, cause there's so much tension on it. That's like asking to cut a helium filled ballon only that would be a million times easier than this. As you might know, glass isn't the hardest type of material, the drop is only capable of withstanding these 68 tons of pressure because of the tension in it's molecular mesh, making it harder than diamonds. But as soon as this tension can escape, it will and it will happen with all the force it has as you could see.

They vibrate alot usually it'd probably be enough to break the tail

Get blown out of the way and then smash off whatever it crashes into

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.

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! 😁

Lol!

also this is the only hydraulic press channel that will go out of their way to damage their own press by trying to smash something, most people will stop at a certain pressure but this guy just goes until it breaks or his press breaks

The spider: 11:29

SIenderplier oi

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

@Mialisus it doesn't distribute weight on one point when it's on the ground obviously but if it were to some how balance on the drop then all the weight would be on that drop

@Mialisus 54 to 57 tons isn't how much the tank weighs per square inch it's how much the whole thing weighs all together

@@gammergames3322 he never said that

Nobody's arguing anymore it was a misunderstanding

Im here to say the same thing, imo it was tails fault

indeed but this inversely shows how strong the drop is compared to the tail
