One of my favorite Steemit Posts was from 9 months ago where I highlited 11 of my favorite YouTube channels for educational entertainment.
One of the channels mentioned is Smarter Every Day (you can support them on Patreon here). Since 2013, they've done a few videos on Prince Rupert's Drop which I've found fascinating. This glass causes bullets to shatter. Seriously.
Destin just released the latest video where he tested them against larger and larger caliber bullets. I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to share it here on Steemit.
First we'll start with the video from 2013:
Then they get into the history of it a bit more and fire a bullet at it at 150,000 fps:
Next, we're at 170,000 fps with a .38 Special:
On to today's video with much bigger guns (and explosions) at 223,000 frames per second:
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
If @smartereveryday has any concerns about me making SBD off their content, I'll gladly send it his way.
I'm feeling sick today and browsing YouTube, so if you see any other YouTube channels that aren't on the list I mentioned before you think I'd like, please let me know about them in the comments.
Thanks!
