00:00 How terrifying is the Prince Rupert's drop? You can smash it with a hammer or even eight stones,
00:05 and no matter how you strike or smash it, it won't shatter in the slightest.
00:10 Even if you shoot it with the most powerful rifle, the bullet will shatter before the drop does.
00:16 In fact, the Prince Rupert's drop is made from the most ordinary glass. After being melted at
00:23 high temperatures, it naturally drips into ice water by gravity and cools to form this
00:28 tadpole-shaped glass droplet, commonly known as the Prince Rupert's drop. Once formed,
00:34 this glass exhibits remarkable physical properties, being harder than ordinary glass. Under the immense
00:41 pressure of a hydraulic press, it remains incredibly tough, showing no signs of shattering even under
00:47 continuous force. The most astonishing thing is that it can withstand up to 20 tons of pressure
00:53 and even cause serious damage to the hydraulic press. However, everything in the world has its
00:59 weaknesses. For example, if you use pliers to clamp the tail of the Prince Rupert's drop
01:05 and apply a little force, it will completely shatter.
