Prince Rupert’s Drops are incredibly strong, but they have an Achilles heel. That’s why Prince Rupert who created them thought they’d make for excellent party tricks. Eric Meek from The Corning Museum of Glass safely shows Blown Away host Nick Uhas how this unique glass shape, made by dripping molten glass into cold water, will explode into fine glass powder when all the tension trapped inside the drop is released by snapping the tail.

A Prince Rupert’s Drop is made by dripping molten glass into cold water, which rapidly cools and solidifies the outer layer while the inner core cools more slowly. This sudden difference in cooling rates locks in extreme internal stresses. The result is a glass object with unique properties: the bulbous head is strong enough to withstand hammer blows or even some small caliber bullets. But the thin tail, if slightly cracked, triggers a chain reaction that causes the entire drop to explode into p

Meet Prince Rupert’s Drop—one of the most fascinating materials ever created! 🔬💥Formed by dripping molten glass into cold water, it solidifies into a teardrop shape. Its bulbous head can withstand extreme pressure—up to 20 tons from a hydraulic press—and can even stop bullets! 🚀💥 But here’s the catch—it has a fatal weakness. Its tail is under so much internal stress that even the slightest damage causes the entire structure to explode into tiny fragments in an instant. 💔 This phenomenon is

UNIVERSE | SCIENCE | TECHNOLOGY on Instagram: "The Unbelievable Strength of Prince Rupert’s Drop 💧🔥 Prince Rupert’s Drop looks like a fragile glass teardrop—but it hides one of the most extreme strength paradoxes in science. Formed when molten glass is dropped into cold water, the outer surface cools instantly, creating powerful compressive stress. This makes the bulbous head nearly indestructible—you can hit it with a hammer and it won’t break! But here’s the twist: the thin tail is its Achil

huzaif dar on Instagram: "A Prince Rupert’s drop is a weird little piece of glass that looks like a teardrop with a thin tail. It’s made by dripping molten glass into cold water, which causes the outside to cool and harden extremely fast while the inside cools slower. That rapid cooling traps a huge amount of tension inside the glass. Because of that trapped stress, the thick round part is incredibly strong — strong enough to survive hits from a hammer. But the long, thin tail is the weak point.

Prince Rupert’s Incredible Drop - This glass teardrop survives an iron hammer but explodes if you snap its tail! It is called a Prince Rupert's drop, made by dropping 2,732°F (1,500°C) molten glass in cold water. The extreme stress makes it indestructible at the head but incredibly fragile at the tail. #princerupertsdrop #science #physics #learnontiktok #mindblown #glass #experiment
