    Residual Stress in Glass - Mystery of Prince Rupert's Drop at 130,000 fps

    Mystery of Prince Rupert's Drop at 130,000 fps : Ri Channel

    Fellow geeks on the forum may find this interesting. As demonstrated, the very high residual stress within the bulbous end of the drop allows it to withstand a blow from a hammer. However, a slight touch on the drop’s tail will cause the whole structure to explode.
