3:48 The first AK round was destroyed by the drop (in a glancing blow). The drop broke from the tail, not the point of impact, so I’m calling that a win for the drop.
@markgearing 4 жыл бұрын
The monster under your bed - Yeah... no. Pause the video at 3:50 and 3:51. All that shrapnel is (jacketed) round, not glass. Whatever your definition of ‘destroyed’ is, the round is destroyed. The second point is a bit more technical. You’re right, the drop doesn’t survive the encounter, but you can see in the slo-mo that the disintegration travels from the tail of the drop to the head. A Prince Rupert’s drop is easy to destroy by clipping the tail, an infant could do it with two fingers, it’s the head of the drop that’s resistant to damage. The head of the drop is intact well after the round is metal confetti. Drop wins. RIP drop.
@ddontpanic4261 Жыл бұрын
A really interesting thing I saw was that on the third drop(the second time he used the ak) the head of the drop breaks, but once it gets close to the tail, the tail breaks too and they both meet near the end of the now shattered drop. I thought that was interesting.

You can see the shock wave actually went even faster - fast enough to reflect off back of the drop and back. The propagation speed is basically the speed of sound in the glass, note it is much higher than speed of sound in air which we know a bullet is faster than, but not as fast as speed of sound in glass I expect.

Hi Destin. As a sound engineer, I'd like to point out to the audience something they may not realise - the slow motion sounds are artificial (for the most part, with real sounds mixed in and reverberation added). But I'm wondering how the sound design was actually done in this case? It's really effective! Much more realistic-sounding than Hollywood sound effects, which are based upon what they think the audience is used to hearing. Perhaps it might be an interesting video to do! Cheers, Jim.
@ashellinthepit 7 жыл бұрын
Hi there, I'm the sound designer/composer for SED. All the SFX are edited to picture from scratch using a mix of original recordings & library sounds & a *ton* of reverb & delay. I do edit at least partially to expectation & simply use my intuition/taste to decide what sounds to use to represent the slow-motion footage. PRDs wound up being a lot of glass shattering (obviously) sand, gravel, and wind among a few other things. For the lifesavers we used electric zaps and recordings of tumbling rocks. I also find it important to have a static bed drone behind all slow-motion shots to give a feeling of time suspension.

3:47 I think what happened here is actually that the inertia of the drop broke it much nearer to the tail, off camera, from bullet transferring the energy to the drop, rather than the fracturing happening at the point of impact. You can see that the fracture propagation starts off camera in the tail and goes up TO the bulb and at the final point of impact.
@FetalNevada 4 жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing. I've been trying to think of a way to isolate the variables so we can see if a bullet could actually penetrate the drop portion, but I feel like anything you do to isolate the tail effectively negates it being a Prince Rupert's Drop in the first place.

I am not sure if it is actually a shrapnel. I imagine that the shockwave traveled to the end where the drop is the weakest so it broke there and caused the rest to break. You can see the Drop starting to break from tail (while already breaking) at 5:07. In that example there is clearly no shrapnel hitting the tail. It just starts breaking there because of the shockwave.

Thank-you for your enthusiasm and just good ol' clean-cut fun. By the way, those were some great shots. I'da been out there all day trying to hit those drops.

Okay wait! When smashing hard candy causes sparks... does that mean, you can get gasoline (or any other highly combustible material) on fire by just hitting candy? Can you make a video, trying that out?
@Raisonbran648 7 жыл бұрын
That's a good question. That has me wondering about sparks in general. Like can a spark be invisible but ignite things, or is it's energy equal to it's brightness? Are the candy sparks hot or is it like static electricity? I wonder if anyone has tried to measure the energy released by the candy sparks.
@RealCadde 7 жыл бұрын
I doubt it's going to ignite gasoline. Believe it or not, the spark is simply not strong enough to light the fuel in the best of conditions. Not even most static electricity will light gasoline. Heck, not even a tesla coil would light gasoline right away. You would have to get a really good channel of electric discharge to light it. In a combustion engine, if there's a lack of compression, even the spark plug won't ignite the air/fuel mixture.

Amir Nowgaonkar I'm guessing no, I'm by no means an expert but wherever there's a fracture in a Prince Rupert's Drop the glass tends to break in a cascading pattern if not always. So drilling it will probably yield the same results.
