Class time!

If you're already familiar with Prince Rupert's Drops, you can skip to the second video. Of course you'll miss some cool high speed video. :confusion-shrug:

Otherwise, watch the first video first. :roll:

Side note -Prince Rupert will not get upset.

That was certainly cool, right? :D



Next

This is where you get to see a bullet disintegrate after striking the large glass end of a Prince Rupert's Drop.

Utterly fascinating, I had never heard of Prince Rupert's Drops so really enjoyed that. If only science were taught like that when I went to school, thanks for posting. :clap: :clap: :clap:
