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

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.

Now that’s incredibly a strong drop 💧 It’s a type of glass drop created by dripping molten glass into cold water. The rapid cooling process gives it some fascinating properties: the bulbous end is extremely strong and can withstand a significant amount of force, while the tail is highly fragile. If the tail is damaged or broken, the entire drop shatters explosively due to the internal stresses within the glass. It’s a great demonstration of the principles of materials science and the effects of
