More footage showing just how strong a Prince Rupert's drop is... As a reminder: a Prince Rupert's drop is a teardrop-shaped object made by dripping molten glass into cold water, causing it to cool rapidly and trap internal stresses. The outer layer cools first, creating compressive stress, while the slower-cooling inner core generates tensile stress. This stress distribution makes the bulbous head extremely strong, capable of withstanding substantial force, but the tail is highly fragile. If th

Do you know there’s a piece of glass that can stop a bullet but breaks with a single touch? It’s called a Prince Rupert’s Drop! When hot glass falls into cold water, it cools so fast that the outside becomes super hard — stronger than steel! You can even shoot it, and the bullet will break instead! But here’s the crazy part — if you just flick its tiny tail, the whole thing explodes into dust in a second. How can something this strong also be so fragile? | Epixology
