That's basically bulletproof glass though. Lots of tempered layers sandwiched with lots of plastic flexible layers. The reason the back cracked is just like the swinging balls physics contraption. The first ball is released swinging into the line of balls, the energy travels through all of them not moving them, once it get to the last ball the energy has nowhere to go but to get dumped into the last ball and cause it to go swinging.

[@noonenoesbutme]

Doubtful. Most likely is its like a Newton's Cradle. The screen protectors were not all connected, the bullet strikes the first section, transfers it's momentum through the next sections, exerts a large force on the last section. The last section then pushes outward and smacks the backstop (with the phone). The shattering was a result of the last section and phone smashing into the backstop, the from the bullet. If they put foam as backstop to catch it, it wouldn't have broken. Or if all the peices of glass were one single peice it also wouldn't have broken

The broken phone was a physics representation of a newton's cradle, the force of the bullet was transferred to the screen protector and when cleanly in a straight line to the end where nothing was there to allow the kinetic energy to go so it tried to bounce back breaking the phone and some of the screen protectors at the end before going all the way back to the very front and going into the loose screen protectors sending them towards you like shrapnel

Theory: Remember the glass sphere how it shattered at the back? It's a similar thing. Think of a Newton's Cradle, you hit one end and it knocks the other end up but leaves the middle untouched. Instead of steel balls it's atoms but the same thing happens. The force gets to the end where there's nothing else to knock into so it's all released in the phone and last few screen protectors.

Sounds like a similar phenomenon to the Newton's cradle. The shockwaves travel in opposite directions, causing damage on the far side where they meet, coming from both directions, but leaving the middle area relatively untouched. Thet would also explain why the screen protectors would always fly forwards instead of backwards.

[@owned323]

Essentially the force of the impact and the shockwave it created moved through the screen protectors. The reason it didn't break all of them and only some of them is because of the shock wave moving throw the glass at different wave lengths as it fluctuates down the path. Once it reached the end, all of the force was expelled into the grounding object. This actually happens inside of a rifle barrel to and it is what us Bench Rest shooters refer to as, "tuning a rifle." You set the seating depth/neck tension/charge weight of a bullet so that the bullet is exiting the barrel the same time the shockwave is reaching the end of the barrel or when the barrel is "flipping". Any shot you take causes the barrel to flip and flop, the goal is to make a load that exits as soon as the barrel flips. This allows for an extremely consistent cartridge and 1/2 MOA groups at 1000 yards ;)

[@taylorg9500]

Does the larger caliber contribute to the more rapid dissapation of force and the small caliber passes through easier due to less resistance

[@mrj5256]

@@taylorg9500 Yes the smaller point of impact pushes the shockwave differently.. Similar to how snow shoes work. Larger area distributes the weight or in this case energy and it dissipates much more quickly. Also I would guess there might have been a few pockets between some that could have contributed as well.

[@828sherlock]

@@taylorg9500 さ

[@endking6832]

Very similar to what happened when he shot the giant glass ball

[@stefantaubert]

@@endking6832 It is not the shockwave - but it goes into a similar direction. The screen protectors are made of glass and a flexible plastic. The bullets are fast. If u slow it down with a highspeed-camera, u will see the following: -> in the moment a projectile hits with its front the surface of the first layer, the bullet bend it a little bit before penetrates it. In this process it looses a little bit of kinetic energy and speed. Then follows a layer of the glass - there it loose the next part of energy and so on. On every layer of elastic material its produces a little bulge and the bulge pushes all other layers backwards. U dont need a highspeed-camera to figure it out - u seen the pieces flying in the direction of the shooter :D Thats exact the function-principe of bullet proof glass. The only different to a bullet proof glass windows is, in the bullet proof glass there are layers of glass and plastic are bound together with a flexible glue. Modern tank armor works in a similar way; layers of flexible and non flexible materials are bound together and every layer absorb speed and kinetic energy in its own way and in summary stops the penetrator or deflect it.

[@robertduffuk]

The effect is called impedance mismatching, when sound (or other waves) move from a material with one speed of sound to another. Anyone else want to see a smarter everyday/demo ranch meet up? This would be a good topic.

[@jackanderson6100]

That would be a sweet collaboration. And thanks for the answer, I was curious too.

[@robinspohrer3912]

I actually think the impedance mismatch could me worse because of the fact that the protectors were several glued together blocks leaned together, so the wave changes speed several times between the blocks. Atleast if I remember my university physics enough :D

[@eegplantforlife9306]

if he would of stuck them in the exactly same density than both shear and pressure waves would of had the same velocity

[@Ranstone]

I think it's more likely just newtons cradle. If it was harmonic waves, they would harmonize as the material is practically homogeneous, even if composite. Remember, glass is incredible vs sheer force and compression, and weak in plastic deformation. The front got freaking shot by a bullet, so yeah, it breaks. The center got compressed, but had the mass in the back to keep it from bending. The protectors in the rear could flex, and thus bend and break.

The weird shatterring at the end might be due to a standing wave forming. The incoming wave gets reflected and interfeers with itself forming peaks of high energy which shatters the glass in some areas and leaves some unaffected

[@skeetorkiftwon]

What about declining EROEI?

[@dsauce1257]

I think the same thing happened when he shot the glass balls

[@Astolfo-_]

I honestly think the strange shattering is due to the unequal tightness in the formation of the glass, Force transfers through solids but heats up oxegen particles when interacting with them, expanding the particles enough to crack the glass.

[@JRod0409]

I think what we're seeing is the conservation of momentum. Even though the bullet was not able to go through the first relatively thin layer, all of the energy had to go somewhere. When hitting a target, the target will move back and because they're often made of steel and have a lot of mass, the inertia (amount of force it takes to move something) is greater. In the case of very thin laminated screens however, the force travels through the stack and can't dissipate the energy quick enough and it breaks. TLDR: The difference between the glass and a normal steel target, is that the steel is heavy and can absorb more energy. The glass on the other hand can't absorb the energy and release it fast enough so it shatters. The same thing goes for a metal target made from something brittle like iron. It's tough and can take a punch, but if it's met with too much force it too can shatter just like glass.

[@federicogonzalez8033]

@@JRod0409 That would make sence if the 9mm also broke it, since the 9mm has more momentum than the .22 hornet, even though the hornet has more energy (speed wins in energy, mass has more effect on momentum). So its not the glass pushing back with momentum, its likely the shockwave caused by the extra energy of the hornet.

[@jus1053]

I think it's the same effect as a "Newton's Cradle" desk toy. The energy is transferred through the center and expressed on the end.

I think you're correct.

[@robwoodring9437]

That definitely passes the sniff test. Also, the Newton's cradle might be demonstrating both the glass ball vs bullet AND the screen protector vs bullet behaviors.

[@nuclearmedicineman6270]

@@robwoodring9437 Different mechanisms. The sphere is about wave focus. A glass sphere focuses light, it'll also focus matter waves. In the middle, the energy is spread over a wider area, not enough to crack it at any location, but nearing the back, that area diminishes fast, and there's more energy per area, enough to crack it. This one's separate pieces impacting on each other. The table isn't perfectly straight, they weren't perfectly aligned to begin with, it created small gaps between blocks of better attached panels. The damage is where those blocks impacted the next block over the gap. ..or so I think.

Its has to do with the shockwave. The front is soft, the middle becomes hard and the end is soft again. Same with the ball, the shockwave travels true the ball. In the middle of the ball/screenprotectors it cant move material, but on the other end of the object it can move material again.

[@kalin6149]

Matt it's the same physics principle from back on that glass ball. The applied force to the front traveled to the back as the force was distributed across the surface area, down the edges of the screens then culminating in the same point in the back where the phone was.

@Something sometime wow

[@mattclifford5942]

It’s the same concept with Newton’s cradle the two balls on the end move because it has nothing else to transfer the energy to

[@JJT3001]

Also the reason why some screens cracked in the middle is because they werent as close to the other screens and as such didnt transfer the energy fully but absorbed some of it

@@JJT3001 your right on that part, I'd be willing to bet that those screens had some ever so slight gap that didn't allow the transfer of energy freely as others which is why it went broke, good, broke, good etc

I think it’s having a similar affect on the screen protectors to when you shot glass and obsidian spheres. it would blow out the back from the shock wave of it being hit

[@bdwilcox]

Like sound, terminal ballistics causes a compressive wave that travels longitudinally through a medium and is reflected back on itself unlike traditional waves that travel perpendicular to the medium. I would think the areas that survived were nodes of destructive interference where reflected force negated initial impulse and areas that were destroyed were nodes of constructive interference where initial impulse was amplified by reflected force.

[@cerberus1166]

i think its all frequencies of vibration. glass handles thermal shock decently well, but tempered glass especially handles vibrations very poorly. it also extremely poorly handles PSI. it uses shapes to be strong, and flat panels are very weak. glass is also unpredictable because of its poor handling of vibration. certain glass especially heavy panels could snap if dropped wrong on even thick carpeted floor. it doesnt even need an object harder than it is to hit it.

[@aubreycruz3873]

It looks like whatever the material that keeps the glass together after breaking has some elasticity and is sending shock waves pretty cool

[@conanlucas6183]

The kinetic energy from the bullet was carried through the screens, when the screens were at their most rigid (front, middle and end) the force shattered the screens, the force was so great due to the bullet being so small and travelling so fast like pushing a pin through paper, so ultimately when the kinetic force reached the solid phone it was still strong enough to break it

[@Rattenomics]

So you think it has anything to do with the wave of energy going through the glass. I agree with you that it is definitely the most rigid spots that took the damage. But I think it might have something to do with how the energy wave went through the glass and the frequency might have something to do with why some are broken and some arnt. I think a better test would be to put tape around them and then shoot them so it is a constant of how rigid the glass is. But it still really cool!

[@romadur290]

@@Rattenomics I think it may happend because of small bubles of air. When there is a small space between protectors, they break because they hit each other. If they were perfectly together, without any spaces between, they did not break. Just my opinion

[@Dentair]

Definitely want more videos like this, where is the stability test of a stack of telephone glasses from .50 BMG?)))) It is clearly shown how the wave spreads and the interference of the waves also manifests itself through a physical shock.

[@OGPurePhoenix]

"shock wave" you nailed it buddy. The projectile stopped at say 10 protectors. The next few didn't vibrate or shake enough to crack. Then a couple more broke as the sound barrier caught up with the projectile and created additional force after impact. However, just because the projectile has stopped & the sound barrier returned to normal, it doesn't mean all the kinetic force stooped too. What you saw is very normal for hard hitting, fast and light rounds. They don't penetrate far but they "send" an intense shock wave a few inches past where the projectile stops. When talking about flexible glass, it means the "aftershock" can just contort the glass in the 30th to 50th screen protector... And contort it enough to shatter it. Its the same reason why You die from being hit by a high powered rifle WHILE wearing body armour. The BA may stop the round but there's still a lot of kinetic energy going a couple inches deep into your body and making your organs into MUSH

[@Freedomfab]

It’s the same concept as Newton's Cradle. The energy travels through the middle without affecting them. The few that broke probably had gaps. 👌

[@matthewkirk]

I came here to say something similar to this.

[@mrlitbottoms6968]

the ones tha didn't break appeared to be connected fairly well, if i had to guess, what cracked them was a pressure wave and the reason some didn't break is because of interference, since there seems to be a semi regular distance between each group of cracked screens

[@backwoodsfishing5882]

Remember when you shot the glass and obsidian spheres? The explosion on the back portion because of the shockwave in the front.

[@PerciusLive]

This is a little different than how the sphere worked. The sphere was based on the shockwaves converging after transfering around the sphere where this one seems like the frequency of the screen protectors was what caused the transfer of energy from the impact to the phone.

"If I had to guess, the back screens received the highest impulse against them as they bear the force of the bullet and front screens. The middle, untouched sections didn't receive the initial impact trauma and didn't have the push of that many objects against them", from Matt, my physic prof friend.

[@ledocteur7701]

yeah, that what I'm guessing too, the random ones in the middle are probably broken because of the repeated impact from the different test, it created a bunch of microfractures and they eventually broke, the ones that survived are probably a lot weaker than if they were brand new.

[@notamouse5630]

It spalled like it was a thick piece of tank armor hit with HESH.

[@austinstone893]

Kinda like the newtons cradle and how the transfer of energy skips whatever ones you dont directly force initially?

[@Blobber.t]

Wouldn’t it also relate to how frustums and the way a bullet impacts. The bullet hits the first screen then the pressure of impact is pushed down the screen protectors in a frustum shape?

[@timothygarrett9372]

I also wonder if maybe the screen protectors that shattered in the middle, shattered due to small air pockets in between. Not having full surface contact leaves room for physics to do what physics does.
