A red hot nickel ball on glass and tempered glass. The first piece took over 35 minutes and 3 reheats to break. The tempered glass door took 16 minutes to shatter. SUBSCRIBE- shorturl.at/adk02 FACEBOOK- shorturl.at/ilrH2
Hayden Jeffcoat Because the nickel ball has literally been through a lot of shit, which also means it's done a lot. Again, I'm sorry if I was offensive; I wasn't trying to be
Childrens Butts Feel So Tight I've told them that they're going to die and that there is no god to help them, thereby crushing their hope and draining their will to live. Some of them even committed suicide with the ropes I sent them alongside the hope-extinguishing letters. So don't you EVEN come in here and tell me that I'm not doing my part.
I have had enough of this "Children in Africa could have*insert text here*", not to be rude, but he does this for fun, and he uses his money for these projects. If you love Africa so much, donate $100,000 to their gov't. Jeez!
How peculiar that the tempered glass door shatters, while the standard glass pane only split in half and took longer to actually reach that state. I wonder about the quality of the glass made, if the standard withstood more than the tempered, as tempered is supposed to be able to withstand more.
There's also the fact that the large pane of glass has more unsupported mass in the center. The only thing holding the middle area of glass up is the molecular bonds to other glass molecules around it, and that mass along with the RHNB has a larger torque than the small pane had. I could see the molecular instability from the heat being enough to start making some cracks, then the weight of the glass collapses on itself.
I thought that tempered glass has compressive stress on the outside in which the RHNB disrupted by its' extreme heat, and once cooled the stresses were uneven, thus causing the door to shatter.
Tempered is not supposed to be able to withstand more or less : it is simply supposed to shatter! The way it is made causes huge internal stresses in the glass. So when you break it in one point, the energy stored in those stresses is released as it completely disintegrates into small pieces, which are a lot less likely to harm anyone, as they are both smaller and less sharp than what you get when breaking regular glass. Securit glass takes it one step beyond, by adding a plastic layer that keeps the pieces together.
It makes me wonder if heat had anytihng to do with the temepered glass door I had home. The thing just decided to shatter on a sunny day even though it was brand new.
TheSupsnow I suspect it'd be less interesting, the heat capacity of a nickel ball is much lower than water, even with it starting off hundreds of degrees hotter. And the leidenfrost effect would probably keep the LN2 away from it
Not exactly that. Tempered glass is just supposed to hold a lot of stress, but once passes its limit, it complete destroys itself without warning. No visible cracks, noises, just explosions.
+arda karapınar No it's not. The reason why very old panes of glass are thicker at the bottom is due to the way they were made, with centrifugal force on a rotating table. So they always had a thick end and a thin end. They always put the thick end down because it's better able to support the weight of the pane. Glass is not a fluid. If that were true, then there'd be no ancient, extremely sharp obsidian deposits in volcanic areas, because it would have all migrated into a puddle somewhere else and lost its sharp edges due to the flow (obsidian is a glass). No, glass while having a disordered molecular structure (like a liquid) is still a solid and does not flow to fill containers.
You people all think.. That ball has been trough a lot of stuff But the real hero here is "claw wrench" that he has there, it has touched the RHNB much,much,much times
I bet if the glass was really cold before you put the ball on it, it'd shatter pretty quickly.. sudden temperature change would mean a lot of stress on the material.
Glass: hah! You think you can stop me? RHNB:darn...I can't make a scratch... carsandwater: C'mon! Let's retreat!!! RHNB:no.....I WILL NEVER LOSE TO YOU!!!!!!!!!! *glass breaks in half* Glass: augh!.....y-you haven't seen the last of glass!!!!......
*Hears Birds* Oh my god... How long have I been in here...? Months? Years? I must... I must see the outside world once more... After one more carsandwater video.
+Demonic Darkness I'd hate to be a trespasser in his yard (not that I am anywhere, I'm not) or someone who pissed him off, and have that thing thrown at me!! That'd be an idea, for an expirement.... find your worst enemy and throw the RHNB at them, see what happens!! lol. Now I'm wondering if anyone I pissed off recently could be this guy... hmmm.
You asked a long time ago sure, but I'd say that that crack behind where he places the RHNB grew from one barely noticeable to one you can easily see in the time between cuts, due to cooling. Although cos it's still small I'd imagine it wouldnt have been as instant as the first big one, he probly didnt even notice when he cut the video!
Victor Garcia Nope, that's not how much heat it would take - that's only what temperature it melts at. I did some calculations but then Google decided it wanted to screw my comment up, but if I did it right, I think it would take approximately 650 kilojoules of energy to heat it up until it melted (if it was somehow heated with 100% efficiency). So, 650 kJ
Pamela I understand curiosity, I am a man of Science myself, well a student of microbiology currently, well a dean's lister...and to be honest I probably would do that to if I had the resources...so yea, it is pretty amazing, but it's not really scientific is it? XD
Now you know that if someone ever decides to place a hot nickel ball on your window it will take a long time to crack! Watching this will surely benefit your life!
