You gotta get Destin on this. Do a collab with Smarter Every Day. He'll figure it out.

I’m bad at explaining

The glass is holo in the middle so the waves strong enough to do that from impact

Dude is breathing in glass particles in the air and wonders why he keeps sneezing. 🤣

The sound waves make it crack in the back

We have inertia, mass, dynamic pressure, plus exerted energy dissipation..and the shape plays a role as well...circular objects with a certain mass will dissipate energy on the opposite pole if said energy was a specific sized impactor with enough mass in relation to circular object.

It's been a minute Demolition Ranch , glad you still up to your shenanigans

Ill save y’all the trouble, yes, yes i t can

Somebody should probably tell Matt that he's allergic to millions of microscopic glass knives that he's breathing in.

Were do you get your fire arms at

That Moment you realize there is more science to this video besides the glass. Natural selection where someone decides to do something without thinking of or knowing the consequence. (glass dust + lungs= no good for you)

Shock wave transfers across the surface and meets at the rear of the ball causing a post shock. And the sneezing if from the glass in the air. Wear a mask next time

How many rounds of .44 magnum to the center of a crystal ball? Let's go ask Mister Owl.

10:38 when you crunch down on a full unsucked lollipop

It's cracking at the back in the same way a newton's cradle works. The energy is "pushed" from the point of impact, through the sphere and gets released at the exact opposite point as the path of least resistance. Transfer of kinetic energy, simple but really cool. *edit spelling

When he shoots the .50 a chunk of glass misses him by inches and almost hits the camera. That's insane

Since the ball is layers the energy goes throught the layers and like a bag of chips escapes throught the wekest point which is the back because of the inertia through the center and from the layers

I'm going to comment about commenting a comment about commenting a comment about commenting a comment and commenting about stopping commenting while commenting about stopping commenting about stopping commenting about creating a loop about stopping commenting about creating a loop and commenting about it.

Newton’s cradle physics is what’s going on there!

When it hits it the force travels to the ball

Dude the shot was so fast i even had to slow down my screen (The thing broke the speed barrier)

That was indeed a good throw.

boom

shooooot a tree with 50 cal

Shoot it from 900 yards and I'll be impressed.

I think tiny particles of glass in the air are causing him to sneeze. Same thing happens to me when I'm around fiberglass or sand. Don't worry he's not cursed. 😂

Was it just me or did Him saying my tiny ball sounded weird

The crack comes from all of the distributed forceoving around and through the ball meeting at a point in the back where it releases the energy out into the air since there is no other direction for it to go

Bro the intro.... it’s beautiful

The only reason it busted was because he had already shot it with multiple guns

I have an idea for an additional experiment. Take a ball of glass, and dip it in bed liner a few times. See if holding the glass in place will make it more effective at stopping a .50 BMG.

think horse power and torque how much power it has and how fast it is same concept for guns just with caliber and grain

2:30 That intro😂

14:39 he sounds like 8bitryan

should have a resparator on after the 9mm, silica dust goes into your lungs but often doesn't come back out

Love you.

This is great and all but imagine in about 45 years someone comes to this spot and wonders why there is so much glass and finds this video and facepalms

Friction is how

Friction

Im no expert but i think the back of the glass ball cracking isn't becuas the ripple effect but the bullet pushing it so much that it transfers through the glass, and not around it, but hey thats just a theory A GLASS THEORY

The shock isn't going _through_ the ball, it's going _around_ it. The impact ripples through the outer layers of the glass in all directions from the point of impact, then all those shockwaves intersect on the opposite side of the sphere, where they do sort of the same thing as a shaped charge, focusing the remaining energy on basically a single point. I suspect that the depth of the rear fractures is the same as the depth the bullet reaches in front.

Re do this with the slow mo guys I think it would be epic

The reason the glass is breaking on the exact opposite side is because of transfer of kenetic energy. Glass ripples when hit with force and spreads out the energy. So when the ball gets hit on the front it ripples the energy all around the ball until it all converts in the same place again, which results in it cracking.

Wow. He is breathing glass particles. That cannot be good.

Me: Sees tiny glass ball. Also me: FUSHIGI

microscopic cuts in his lungs, 'wow im not usually allergic too dust!'.

He should make a compilation of the best intros from 2020

Heh bet ya didn’t see this comin 💥 💥 💥🔫

Did anyone else notice that the fortune teller looks a lot like Matt?

I think glass is not a complete solid has something to do with what’s going on idk tho

Matt, it could be really neat if you got the slo mo guys out there and were able to get some really neat shots of you shooting stuff. Just sayin’

@ 14:39 Does that mean the Warren commission wasn’t lying after all?

Personal Protective Equipment recommendation, also includes masks & filters to prevent inhaling micro-shards of material such as glass.

Force is distributed throughout the ball from the impact. The forces recombine at the antipode (opposite) side of the ball and create another "impact" force weaker than the original. Same thing happens with earthquakes and the earth.

Bring back the reaper

the ripples from the impact meet at that point on the back and tries to blow a chunk out

Short answer is no, glass sucks against a heavy sniper rifle

Its not magic its kenetic energy for example a pendalum

I think I figured it out: the most of the energy is not going into the ball itself, but going around the surface. So the little bubble or breaks on the other side is the energy concentrating on the opposite end of the ball.

when the physic asks for too much so you just fucking shoot them: _e c o n u r m i_

Dude the stand for the ball is bulletproof as shit!!! Everyone spam likes on this so he can see how bullet proof the stand is

Ok so glass is what is called an amorphous solid, meaning it has SOME liquid like and SOME solid like properties. The force of the impact will have traveled through the glass like it would in water.

You Seppos so bored with firearms that you've started shit posting vids like this? 🙄

do flamethrower

a newtons cradle should explain the backside

Never know i could learn physics on a gun youtube channel XD

Come on demo ranch it’s newtons third law

The reason why cracks form on the other side is dude to the energy from the bullet hitting one side traveling through the ball and having no where to go so it breaks the end

HOW MANY BALLS YOU GOT... dangit

your eyes will puke after looking at broken glass balls

Where did you get that leather jacket ???

The glass thing could be because glass is actively a fluid and it is transfering the energy through the glass ball.

Probably Newton’s cradle effect

Next time wear a mask too. You're sniffling because you are breathing in microscopic glass particles.

the breathing may be caused by glass particles in the air scratching your sinuses

14:06 uhhhh😩

This sounds like a job for some kinda, Slow Mo Specialist

Bro biden is going to make you go broke with his gun tax haha. I love seeing all the different guns. That knife is badass too. Keep up the great content. I know it's hard shooting sheet for a living.

bro bro bro so you should go into a airsoft game

Your videos would be even more awesome with some super slow mo footage where we can see the bullet hitting the glass.

I hope you don't get that Artie Lange nose from inhaling all that glass.

its kinetic energy or whatever because when the meteor hit a chunk of the earth flew into space and that is what we know as the moon. that is why the big ball had a crack or small chunk come out of the back.

5:29 close your eyes and listen

It’s releasing all of the energy when it gets to the back

It's the same scenario with High explosive squash head tank shells in WW2... wouldn't actually penetrate but the shock would create spalling (shrapnel) inside the tank compartment from the shock wave.... Love your videos and humor... keep up the great work!

they gotta make bullet proof vests out of glass balls

5:35 what yall came for

Kinetic energy being dispersed thru the ball and cracking the other side

"I feel like I'm cursed, I can't breathe" Or it might be the glass dust you are breathing.

Isn't that a form of "spauling", sort of like what used to happen to the first tanks in WWI, after which we learned to paste the insides of tanks with ballistic cloth to retain/capture steel that popped free like shrapnel when a shell hit the tank from the outside? Or, you see it with gunshots that hit a window that don't go through. On the other side a conical bit of glass is popped free. Energy transfer to the far point in-line with the impact.

Newton's 3rd law

Wonder if SmarterEveryday could get in on this and explain the cracks

14:50 - JFK bullet confirmed. i trust the government more now

lemme save you some time: it can’t stop the bullet

Ah what a beautiful day in America

My thoughts about magic:Magic is just unsolved science

Note to self; Take crystal ball into battle. Note to self; Dont use against .50 Cal

Energy travels through because of density.

When a lvl 1 bat does more damage...
