You absolutely have to check out the stuff Cal Makes. We're just goofing off in this video, but the guy is some type of glass wizard genius. It would make me happy if you bought something from him and he felt like the audience appreciated all the time he donated to this video. He basically gave me 2 entire nights of his entire shop.

I feel like we're friends at this point, and he is open to the idea of doing more videos in the future and teach me more about what he knows about glass. Let's make it worth his time.
I'm a HUGE FAN of the song Gordon wrote for this video. His landlord would really appreciated if you downloaded it so he could make rent this month.

It looks like he's assembling a new album that I may like more than Mammals:

This video involved about 2 months of research, and me reaching out to several individuals. I would like to thank everyone who took time out of their schedule to contribute to my wacky research. A big thanks to the following people:
My wife and kids. I'm sorry this took so long and I wasn't the kind of active father I want to be during the 5 weeks it took to make this.
Dr. Martyn Poliakoff for getting me access to documents which details experiments on the Prince Rupert's Drop by the Royal Society
rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/41/1/1.full.pdf+html (behind a pay wall)
Being able to calculate the failure front velocity of a Prince Rupert's drop is a pretty big deal. For years this was a scientific mystery. High speed camera technology is only recently fast enough to provide data like this. Thanks to Vision Research for letting me use the V1610 to try to unravel this mystery for the public in general.
Rob Kuefner for reaching out to me and offering to convert certain equations into LaTeX format for me.
Dr. Jeff Evans from UAH. A friend and neighbor who just happens to have a PhD and be an expert in fracture mechanics. bit.ly/YLezDA Thank you for helping me by pointing me in the right direction in the early stages of my research. It's time we hangout again.
Brian: thanks for letting me use your green screen and telling me about Orbix in the first place. I stayed up there til about 1 or 2 am two nights in a row acting stupid in front of of the camera all alone. Now that I look back at that footage without the context of this video, it's all very strange.
Thanks to Loïc Samuel for taking time to make the custom TNT Degradation graphic!
P.S. There was some old guy walking around the track at the park when I was filming me jumping on the bridge railing. I'm pretty sure you kept walking until I was done just to make sure you wouldn't have to take me to the hospital if I broke my leg. I'll never meet you again, but I'm grateful for this kind gesture you didn't know I noticed.

Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.
The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO!

Would it be the same if the glass was dropped into oil or other liquid? Or temperature? Would it make it stronger?
@ 4:00 so weird, yet so accurate. Essentially, the drop is kind of laminated....but with an Achilles heel.
Glass is amazing. When I was 9 years old, my parents took us to the Corning Museum of Glass in Elmia, New York. I was DONE. I've been utterly fascinated by glass and by extension material science ever since. So, obviously, I have degrees in Linguistics and culture. (Shrug) I'm weird.
Elmira, NY. SIGH. Autocorrect.
Question: A Prince Rupert drop is formed by pouring molten glass into water. The basic physics of a difference in expansion due to a temperature gradient being present is nicely explained here. Would you achieve a stronger Prince Rupert drop if you would increase that temperature gradient aka pour the molten glass into liquid nitrogen?
Is that safe to hold that with bare hand while exploding?
Great
Hydraulic Press Channel crushed a few of these and the best one of that size you used, broke at 29 tonnes and change. The medium sized ones, break at over double that, 67,000kg.
DemolitionRanch posted up a video shooting a glass globe and commented about why shooting it on one side would actually chip/crack the opposite side. thought it would be cool for you guys to get together and get some slow mo of the shot and the awesome physics going on behind it!!!
3:55 No hate... but from chemical view, glass isn’t a solid, it’s an undercooled liquid.
??????????????? 😯
That was amazing! I learned something today!
I love the nerdy expression on his face when he says "Goggles up!" then pulls his goggles down onto his eyes.
Talk about a money shot at the beginning!
Imagine it inside your ----- and then cut it's tail oUch.....!!!
Imagine somehow making one of these suckers a mile long and watching the failure front in real time over the span of one second.
So what you think the cavemen called them when they were shooting at him with just arrows when they were just called icicles big icicles and small icicles hey this guy comes slapping name on the icicle and you lose your mind it's a Prince Rupert no it's a f****** icicle
This was so neat!!!! What a great video. Thanks!
It travels at almost exactly one imperial mile per second. That is so cool 😃😃😃
S R B ...👆/ Haa.
Looks like a great way to make colored frits for glassblowing.
Nunnu khara video
Make your videos at least 60 fps.
6:38
What was the name of the music?
I'm not totally sure about this but I think it Deflegrated and not Exploded, but I don't really know...
Its all the fire energy locked inside it from the quick cool. That’s my hypothesis anyway. Trust me I’m an expert.

Unbelivable, this was 7 (almost 8) years ago This means I was 12 when I started getting smarter every day
Amazing Video, Thanks for your inspiration! If you ever need another glassblower and studio to donate time for free to educate others, I would be happy to open my studio to you anytime. Happy Holidays
It's because of videos like this why I really like SEprom.
Great video.
warum ist der titel in deutsch, aber das video in mir einer unbekannten sprache? da dachti ich, ich würde mir einlehrreiches video im deutschsprechigem raume anhören und mich so weiter bilden, aber nein, ich verstehe kein wort in diesem video. wenn der titel auf deutsch ist, sollte das video auch deutschem ursprungs sein ihr kackfressen
Very cool. Would love to see these bust under water to get a better sight maybe?
I know this was from several years back, but if you check these here's a thought experiment. I was thinking about this awhile back. They use hollow glass spheres with 5/8" thick glass on deep sea UAV stuff. The idea of a quick quenching the outside compressing inward while the glass on the inside slowly pulls into tension. How would that work with a glass bubble 5/8" inch thick, 1/4" thick, or 1/8" with a 1-2" diameter of a spherical preheated aluminum mold maybe and the glass could be instantly cooled somehow, dropped in water or what have you. How strong? I saw your vid of you shooting Prince Rupert Drops. How tough can glass be???
You should film one exploding in an aquarium. No fish of course.
The smooth pillow commercially man because jellyfish remarkably trace like a calculating berry. shrill, volatile semicircle
How about incasing a drop in transparent rezon then break the tail?
OWWWW MAIIII GAWDDDDDD NICWWWWW
why does this be awesome when american
Ooooh ,. Cool!
How can i repose that to make a medium that can make a new recording?
These are batavia Tears !
pls try making it out of liquid Nitrogen. Ive never seen a video. expect it to be much stronger.
That’s just crazy cool!!!

Cal Breed!! Hello!
What’s the point in it tho?
What a beautiful balancing act. Yin and yang in action. It's basically an expression of nature.
Fun fact glass breaks at mach 4
The whole hand alarmingly play because guatemalan etiologically divide among a valuable frost. filthy, smooth debt
truly one of the best channels on youtube :)
If we nick the tail inside the water i think it will be easier to capture in slow motion
I am also a huge fan of the song in this video! I'm going to download it now!
Amazing video!! I wanted to see in slow mo the reaction of the drop when hitting the cold water.
Can u cut the tail off while your making a drop?
I absolutely loved the explanation with all the mini you's
Who are an amazing content creator in addition to great teacher. Wish people would model their teaching after you for real. It's incredible what you can learn when you slow down something.
Watching 3 min ads to support the great effort you do it's the best way I can support you I'm poor xd
science is SICK...
beautiful
When you realise that the velocity of the failure front is just a fraction of the speed of light. And the speed of light at the scale of the universe is abysmally slow.
2:29 Beautiful.
1.03 miles per second! Amazing.
What happens if you make a prince Rupert's drop but you double side it. As if you make 2 heads connect, would it still shatter at the middle or would it shatter anywhere. Or if you do 2 tails, would it shatter at one end then go to the other?
I love how you're casually holding exploding glass without gloves.
Imagine those shards in your eye
Sweet home alabama
Anyone else thought the thumbnail and name was talking about water?
Did you try do it inside water?
Did you try do it inside water?
💕🌷💖
THIS is what the internet SHOULD be about!! Great Vid!
What is your engineering???
Can you cut a Prince Rupert's drop with a fine hacksaw or diamond blade without it exploding? Cutting it with a knipex is a very sudden impact. Would be interesting to see how it reacts to hammer punch, if the tail was removed first. Nice video and editing, btw!
It’s like a bug in the matrix Should be patched in the next life
I feel bad for the guy that has to clean all that glass up
if it explodes when the tension breaks, could it be turned into a bomb if it was larger?
if the shattering happens coz of the tail what will happen if we cut out the head and smash it?
you could not cut the head off without it breaking.
Smart. I am breathing in glass.
And to think light travels roughly 180,000x faster...
wow, that is nearly Mach 5 ...
What if you were to sand down the bigger part of the drop then would it explode or stay like how it is?
WHAT HAPPENS TO A SPHERE BEAD OF MOLTEN GLASS SUDDENLY DIPPED IN WATER
If the properties are due to shape and not material, have you experimented with a drop made out of carmelized sugar or molten rock?
maaf kang destin telat 7 tahun
Where is the music from or how is that kind of music called? Please help!
I cant see whats happening in the last 20 seconds because of squares showing up n the video
Dude, dont put interesting content at the end if you are going to cover it up with links to other videos. Now I'm curious what happened in the fish tank. Also, what would happen if you reheated the outside layer?
thats crazy cool
If you can't make a bomb out of it, I'm not interested
This is so much like a White Walking getting stabbed with Dragon Glass...
really cool information
Edward the vampire should be quaking in his sparkly skin
Oh well.. no more walking around there bare footed. :(
Atila Iamarino brought me here!

I heard cow
Many years ago I was employed as a scientific glass blower this is where I first encounter these. I made many of them smaller ones seemed even more indestructible. As one may expect the quality of the drop varies with the glass type used. Low expatiation glass like Pyrex is poor while a much higher expansion lead glass yields good results like those seen in the video.
why does this have so many dislikes?
what happen if we break the tail part under water?
