explaining 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! 💥🧪 . Via: Hydraulicpress/YT .

Knowledge_Hub on Instagram: "Prince Rupert’s Drop is a glass teardrop formed by dropping molten glass into cold water. The outside cools fast and becomes extremely strong due to high compressive stress. Even strong impact on the head does not affect it. The thin tail holds internal tensile stress. A tiny crack at the tail and the entire structure breaks almost instantly as the stress travels through the drop. NASA studied this because the stress pattern shows how a material can be very strong wh

Earth Of Genius on Instagram: "Prince Rupert’s drop, also called Rupert’s tear, forms when molten glass falls into very cold water. Rapid cooling creates high compressive stress on the outer surface, making the head extremely strong and resistant to impacts. The interior cools more slowly, producing high tensile stress along the center, which makes the tail very fragile. When the tail is broken, the tensile stress is released instantly, sending shock waves through the glass and causing the entir

Entrepreneur | Startup Mindset | Business on Instagram: "Can Prince Rupert’s Drop survive the hydraulic press? The answer sounds impossible—until science steps in. At first glance, Prince Rupert’s Drop looks fragile. A thin glass tail, a bulbous head, nothing about it suggests strength. But this strange piece of glass is one of the most fascinating demonstrations of material science ever discovered. Formed by dripping molten glass into cold water, the outer layer cools instantly while the inside
