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.

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 Incredible Drop - This glass teardrop survives an iron hammer but explodes if you snap its tail! It is called a Prince Rupert's drop, made by dropping 2,732°F (1,500°C) molten glass in cold water. The extreme stress makes it indestructible at the head but incredibly fragile at the tail. #princerupertsdrop #science #physics #learnontiktok #mindblown #glass #experiment

explainer Area on Instagram: "Prince Rupert’s Drop is incredibly strong due to internal stresses created when molten glass is rapidly cooled in water. The outer layer solidifies first, trapping immense compressive stress. Under a hydraulic press, the drop’s thick bulb can withstand over 400,000 psi, but if the tail is slightly damaged, the entire drop explodes instantly! 💥🧪 .

🧪 on Instagram: "Prince Rupert’s Drop: A glass paradox. Born from rapid cooling, its surface is compressed, making it harder than most glass. It can survive bullets—but touch its delicate tail, and it explodes into powder in milliseconds. This teaches us about toughened glass, fracture mechanics, and why some strengths come with a hidden weakness."

wisdomhubs on Instagram: "The Prince Rupert's Drop is a tiny glass structure with remarkable properties. It forms when molten glass is rapidly cooled in water, locking the outer layer under compression while the interior remains under extreme tension. Its rounded head can endure enormous force, even tens of thousands of pounds. Yet the slightest damage to its thin tail causes the entire drop to shatter instantly. #wisdomhubs Want access to the most interesting content?"
