Rupert's Drops must have been one hell of a magic trick in the 15th century. Blacksmith showing one impossibly hard stone. And then with a single touch he can destroy it instantly.
Noooo you forgot to showcase the best part about a Ruperts drop! If they're formed just right, they can be broken with just your bare finger strentgh by snapping the tail. The entire thing will shatter as if it was made of nothing but dust
@@Bambuskus505 that is not a special part, if it is indeed special then it would maintain it's toughness on the front but won't shatter even if you snap the tail, which is physically impossible.
It’s because the way the glass forms the inner glass compresses very much in on itself because the outer glass cools way before it idk if I explained it right smarter every day has a video on it it’s pretty cool
@Shehryar Ali I'm tired of replying the same thing again and again.Listen there are always going to be comments that are similar to each other because they think the same and they find it funny,And nobody starts a career out by a freaking comment,a comment is a comment.If it's a copied video it's different.If it's a same comment,they either ignore or just like it.The comment section will be filled with most popular comments and least popular comments.Dont expect every single comment to be completely different.
@Shehryar Ali Are you just getting dumber and dumber as you write on?Now talking that I'm on a fake id or what? Sometimes you can't understand the easiest way to ignore cringe copied comments is just to ignore them,but you're still giving them attention by replying.
The Ruperts drop leaving an impression in titanium tells everyone how strong the head is. Yet the tail being snapped can shatter it all. Amazing process and result.
See what I dont get is why not make a bunch of these, and then laser Lance the end off, since its a high heat melt, wouldn't it then keep the integrity of the Rupert drop. Then glue it into armor and wham heavy duty protection.
Imagine a molten glass drop floating in zero-g, forming a perfect sphere, then shock cooled from all sides at the same time. The weakest point of the glass sphere is now inside at the very center. -> indestructable glass ball
