MARCOSHAK100 t could be made of a crystalline structure similar to glass (but a bit tougher)

Don't Censor Yeah, it's made out of malachite.

Don't Censor Malachite exists in real life btw, it's named after the ancient Egyptian afterlife, the Fields of Malachite.

+Jimmy Recard 2:06 Throw back Thursday. When I was a little sperm

+Hakasauars lololol

Jimmy Recard I don't understand why I can't swim now that I am older. I out swam millions in my early days. It was the only race I've ever came in first place.

+Hakasauars you were able to swim way before you showed any sign of consciousness :)

+Hakasauars Actually it's very unlikely that the first sperm to arrive at the ovule is the one that penetrates it. They usually hang around it trying to get in, and many die in this process. It's sometimes a matter of luck instead of strength or speed.

Alien Weirdo That's rude dude

Haha, nice.

Ddddddrop the bass!

+Arturo Perez Ddddrop the glass!

ha ha ha ha haaa..........no

+MadMike3308 I'm sorry I'll show myself out

you would increase the stress inside the drop (heating the outside of the glass increases the volume the outside takes up further increasing the effect that makes it so sturdy). It would probably explode, but if it's able to withstand the stress-increase survives and the drop melts it will upon melting rapidly heat up

***** what you talking about? :^)))

Roll up the prince

But- Sheldon was raised in Texas-

+Hughes Enterprises ha ha ha yep!!! I was thinking the same thing!!!

Hughes Enterprises But is missing the accent ;)

Nah, he's not talking too fast, or rapidly inhaling air in every single pause of every single sentence, and he doesn't carry himself like a grasshopper, and his face doesn't look like you completely shaved a cat's face then hung it by its scalp GOD I FUCKING HATE JIM PARSONS.

Sheldon was raised in the country

probably not any bigger than an inch, Im no expert but I'm guessing that if the surface area is too large then there would be too much pressure on the thin layer of hardened glass on the outside and it would break or explode. like I said, I'm no expert so do be surprised if it completely wrong.

not as big as yo moma

^ mature.. but to answer the question, as big as you want, it's just the bigger you make it, the larger the explosion and the larger the weakness.

@@kitsilanocat Fo show it cant be bigga than yo mama tho! Skeet skeet skeet! :D

Your mommas big from what I've read. Keep it going guys

That's pretty dank. Wish I had one.

It would explode inside the gun- Prince Rupert drops break whenever a link in the chain of atoms are broken because of the release of energy.

That is called a segmented hollow point.

***** Tail first lol, if you hit a bone it will just shatter xD

well if you look like a douchbag like your picture thats a no

+Vladimir Poopin looks dont mean anything its ur personality

Daniel Cho im singing this right know. BULLSHIT!

HardcoreJesus100 h

Vladimir Poopin lol laying on my Gfs bed makes me look like a douche bag? Right.

sranjesuper but this would also mean it would be strong as hell unless u get it at the perfect spot

l2noob4ul - Probably the heel.

sranjesuper The glass jaw on a prince rupert is the tail. You snip that with a pair of wirecutters, the tension built up in the drop is released explosively.

lol get kicked in the shin and ur jaw shatters

l2noob4ul *shin

dar even sledgehammer to the thicker side, and makes a bigger explosion when you break the tail

+R34P3R813 a golf ball sized one could withstand it.

people are shooting those things and it survives

dar even j

you can make it as a glass bomb to blind people at least

+Ryan Christensen no u

+Zani Man Yea... so funny.. even funnier than when the other guy said it a week before you, you know... the comment above yours?

Lock the tail in the hilt.

ACTUAL springbreak titties glass bullets '-'

+Grant McQueen You are gay

+Giovanni Orsi this comment made no sense

+PoPe He's one of my friends just being dumb

Vibudh Sharma its not glass, its rupert drop

Sure wouldn't it just not separate from the rod???

Rupert's balls! the first thing that came to my mind :-p

SerpentSword _ Nothing says you have to use a rod, you can just use a chunk. Heat it from two sides so the Bernoulli principle keeps it in place and KABLAMO - prince rupert's balls! I guess the real problem is how to cool it from all sides at the same time, so it doesn't explode as soon as it touches water.

You'd have an indestructible glass ball

ofcourse and then it will came on to his face and then his face turn be justin B face

lmao in a glass bag im dead

inside of a bbag

"Iv done this inside this *BAG*"

its the way he explains everything. zack with a soft southern accent wearing a vest @ 5:30 talking about if youre fearful of injuring your finger while snapping the little tail you can use pliers so you wouldnt injure your finger or poke it.

Saberéase Era Probably would break more, but if you managed to have one survive, perhaps.

Short answer, no. Long answer, the glass gets as hard as it does because the inner glass takes longer to cool. So, if it were put in liquid nitrogen instead it would cool faster and most likely explode. However if it did survive it would still not be stronger, it would be much weaker and would most likely shatter from slight shocks like just being picked up.

No it Would shatter

Lun Hing Was thinking the same bro...

Lun Hing worth the drop though

Seems like the youtube algorithm decided to work its magic again

Matthew Askari yes it can

no not indestructible just really really durable

Nope, any scratch on the surface causes it to shatter. They're super-durable against blunt impacts, but, the first sharp thing destroys it.

***** I have no idea, but I love the fact that you thought about that! There's probably a whole host of cool things we could do in total vaccum and/or near weightlessness!

You probably just couldn't make one in space since there is no oxygen in space required for the fuel of the torch. So considering that, let's say you use another heat source, like a laser. The gravity on earth is what causes the droplet to be pulled from the rod while the glass is molten, so the completely even pressure that would be applied to the molten glass in space would not allow for the drop to form. You'd have to have something pulling on it for the drop to form. Apart from that, you have to consider the way the glass would react if heated in space, since there is no oxygen. Would it even get "molten"? I could be completely wrong though, just my opinion lol.

I'm pretty sure molting doesn't have anything to do with oxygen and you wouldn't have to use a rod, just let a small chunk of glass float there and heat it with a laser or something (not really sure weather or not the torch would work). Then when it molts push a ball of water its way and see what happens.

Warped Perception has

The youtube channel "Smarter Every Day" recently shot some larger drops with a rifle. The slow motion footage revealed how the drop actually survives the initial impact, deflecting or shattering the bullet, up until the shockwave from the impact travels through the glass reaching and shattering the tail. The whole drop then shatters as a wave of sorts shoots from the tail end to the drop end, with an odd noticeable spiral pattern in the way the glass breaks. One of the drops he tested actually survived the rifle shot entirely.

actually shit is rather hot. almost a hundred degrees. so it's as cool a a shit that sat around for awhile.

my shit is pretty critical meltdown kinda hot only after eating taco bell.

Hanna Jalon i seen a few videos of that in super high speed like 100k fps its amazing plain n simple :D

Hanna Jalon o.o what if you double end it... each end is a rupert drop, so there is no "tail" xD then it can never be broken! (probably would never work i know)

Geometry Dash Nightmare I don't hear one

Alex Nguyen he has a Bernie sanders accent

What? He doesn't sound anything like Bernie. Bernie has a Brooklyn accent, this guy has a southern accent.

bernie is a filthy communist

That's not how that works. If anything it would become weaker because the temperature change would be too rapid. Would more likely shatter before it even gets reborn as a Rupert drop

Jon Doe r/wooooosh

@@nedzzi711 elaborate. Where was the joke in this? "Whoosh" don't really seem appropriate for this scenario. Might wanna try else where buddy.

Jon Doe just funny how you’re trying to explain wha’s happening

Uriah Siner Rupert fuel cant melt jet fuel

How?

lol

Lars Gödtel thanks for the science fact cx that makes this so much finnier, considering this is a public school educational corporation XD

you are not a chemist

JncGwen Proof?

that flame is so tiny that distinguishing it's layers to melt it faster for a demonstration is really silly

The second the tail got soft the thing would shatter. Because the tail would get soft before any other part.

Jet fuel can't melt steel prince Rupert's drops?

Cause he looks like Bernie Sanders.

I'm no specialist at all, so don't take my word for granted. The best would be to get an answer from FlinnScientific . In any case, my initial guess is that you cannot create Prince Rupert drops which are spherical. The tail acts a keystone in architecture: without it, the cooling glass does not compress internal forces onto anything and therefore aren't any more solid than normal glass.

a youtuber named carsandwater done a similar experiment with a marble made of glass heated it up to a melting point and put it in water the marble shattered but his eperiment might deem invalid if you take into acount that the marble was deformed int the moving process

was more like an instant replay
