@imfromtambunan See "Time Warp" bottle smash episode. They try it with beer, and even a rubber mallet, but the CO2 in the cavitation cushions the hammer effect. But really that just means for beer, you need to hit it much harder. Water avoids bruised hands and wasted beer.
@armydude96 Yeah, some bottles are way too thick. Henry's Blonde ale breaks easy. Henry's Blue Boar has a thick bottle. You can break it eventually, but you'll get a bruise!
@guitargod909 Try hitting it with something besides your hand. I couldn't get it to work either but then I used a thick piece of wood instead and it worked. It's likely either because the bottle was very strong or I was too weak.
@Duckman1616 Don't forget to be paranoid about slicing open your hand. Don't forget to use "old" water or bottled water. Yep, some bottles are way thick and impossible to break. Once you find types that work, keep using those. Henry's Blond works, Henry's Blue Boar is too thick.
Just a note: Those pockets of "vaccuum" are actually empty. When you hit the jar, the force you apply to it causes the pressure in the fluid to decrease rapidly for an instant to a point below its vapour pressure. This causes the fluid to boil for an instant creating water vapour
@kyle3420 Actually it's even stranger. Water can support extreme *negative* pressure. When you whack the bottle, you don't just create vacuum, you instead go way past that. Water has bonding force (the source of surface tension,) and you won't get any internal boiling unless you apply a large force that opposes the liquid bond force. Make an enormous anti-pressure pulse, and any microbubble in the water will cause a "tear," and the water opens up around a vacuum pocket.
@wbeaty No its not a vacuum, I'm saying that cavitation is the formation and subsequent collapse of vapour bubbles. Surface tension doesn't really have anything to do with this phenomenon, it's the vapour pressure of the fluid that you have to consider.
@kyle3420 Yes & no. Vapor is irrelevant; this still works regardless of vapor pressure. (Try this w/vacuum pump oil or icewater.) Besides, liquids don't just boil, instead they superheat wo/bubbles. The actual pressure causing cavitation is *negative.* That's why nucleation sites are a major issue. Neg. pressures only arise with liquids, not gas, since liquid has internal bonds and must be forced apart before a fracture or bubble appears. Large internal fluid tension, not surface.
@nikedunks7 Hot water probably makes cavitation pockets more easily. But as with beer, there will be gas-cushioning, so maybe it doesn't work as well.
And cold water might be harder to cavitate at all. If this is right, then there must be a special temperature which works best!
Or, just use really cold water, shake it up a bit to create microbubbles, then wait a few minutes so all but the tiniest bubble has been cleared out. That way you have seed bubbles, but much less outgas-cushioning.
i dont get it first he says use beer bottles then he says doesnt. kinda confused can you help me out by understanding what kind of beverage and bottles you can use to break the bottom.
@armenianply don't use beer or soda. Fill beer bottles with water (bottled water works better than tap water.) Note that some bottles are easy to break, while other thicker ones are nearly impossible. Also, DANGEROUS DEMO, USE GLOVES AND SAFETY GOGGLES.
Actually I have blown the bottom of a beer bottle with BEER in it on the first try, It was a Dos XX I believe. I thought it wasn't going to work but It amazed me and my friends. and it was actually pretty easy.
@f3rnand0p it works with beer if you use the edge of a 2x4 instead of your hand. You just have to hit it lots harder. Maybe I just had a thick sturdy bottle. Some bottles are definitely far stronger than others.
I successfully did this with a Budweiser bottle, worked on the second try. It was awesome! Gave myself a nice bone bruise from hammer fisting a wine bottle, failed. Must wear goggles.
@Kissrocks1000 perhaps it's FCC rule against drinking beer on camera? (watch whole vid. It's water. Beer doesn't work.)
Prhaps smashing glass on floor with flying fragments is hazardous, and I didn't carefully give safety instructions? Didn't wear goggles? *NO* instructions can make this safe. Part of entertainment value is depiction of risky behavior requiring skill to avoid serious injury (then, I INCLUDE SCIENCE)
YT silently sets vids to 'over-18' wo/explanation. Why?
An awesome, inexpensive demonstration of caviation's destructive effects. No need to show the boat propellers in introductory hydrodynamics labs--just pull out your bottle of out-gassed water and slam it hard!
probably this: "DANGEROUS DEMONSTRATION! If you wear a ring, you might shatter the bottle and slice your hand. And sometimes the whole bottle breaks into razor-edged shrapnel."
But with carbonated liquids, if you whack someone's beer bottle on the top, the cavitation causes a froth explosion as if you'd stuffed mentos in there.
i broke a bottle in my hands once but i crushed it...idk how i had half a bottle of everclear before that and i crushd a beer bottle just with my hands but i cut the fuck outta myself but i still wish i knew how i did it....i blacked out soon after
Some bottles are VERY sturdy. Try other beers? Henry's Blonde Ale worked well.
Also, the martial arts (and golfers') trick is to hit THROUGH the bottle, as if it wasn't there.
That way you hit it very hard, and it breaks. If you hit it softer, you get hurt, because you have to perform many re-tries instead of just one success.
WHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA!!! Great videos! I love your holograms. I tried the V thing that you had on your website, but it came out really distorted. I'm glad that you tell others what you know.
Fill it to about 1-1/2 inches from the top? If you followed these instructions, then it was probably a too-thick bottle.
Some bottles only work when you hit them hard enough to guarantee a bruise on your hand. So try LOTS of different company beer bottles. (Those Red Strip ones seemed fairly easy.) Or start out by cheating: whack them with the edge of a short 2x4 board. You'll discover the weak ones.
It's best to use bottled water. That way the microbubbles are gone.
Oh, our bottle was pretty thick i think, but that's the problem here in Sweden, all beverages that come in glass bottles uses the same sort of bottle, just because the companies reuse the bottles.
It's only imported bottles which looks different, better look for something imported :)
you seem like a cool college teacher also im only 13 and i believe i am more mature than these jackasses who in their right mind would smash a bottle, WITH INTENT TO STAB them i mean what the fuck illegal not only but dangerouse and life theatening.
Hah, no big loss there. My friend tried this one time and the bottle shattered all over the place. Luckily he was wearing gloves because he was worried that exact thing would happen.
LOL "that--- does not work...", and good for bar fights, you have half full beer someone attacks you you smack your bottle of wine/anything else, and stab them=].
Nice, except for the fact that he specifically said it doesn't work with any sources with "micro-bubbles" or carbonated substances. However wine would probably work.
@ IRAiiNx: or you could just deal with the pain *glances down at the cuts and bruises on my own hands* ... it's just a sign I've been doing something awesome, like this ;)
awesome videos!! iv subbed for a while and cant seem to see my sub box get filled with your videos. Make some vids when you get a chance, its awesome to learn somthing new!
cool! i`ve tried this trick, but never got it to work, water does something to the structure of the glass, i found out by accident washing the dishes, when for example a regular drinking glass is submerged in water you can cut it with scissors quite easily. try it!
Sometimes beer will work if you use the weak type of bottle and hit it hard with something solid (like a second beer bottle.)
To guarantee success, figure out which brand of beer has the weakest bottle. Then use water instead of beer. Then first let it sit for awhile to clear out the microbubbles. That way it works every time ...and even works with much larger bottles.
I started out with a wastebasket below. But then I found that it was simple to clean up the few splinters of colored glass in the wet blotch. The gravel tends to grab them so they don't bounce at all. My footage without the wastebasket looked better, so I used that.
if you wrap the top of your hand around the lip of the bottle, its ALOT easier to explode the bottom out (view my profile if u wanna see, i have a video)
It's way easy to shatter the bottom if you hit the top of the bottle with the edge of a short piece of wood (like a 1x4,) No pain. Works every time. And you can strike the bottle quite gently.
Try watching the water in bright light against a dark background. When the wood hits the top, you'll probably see the cavitation bubbles.
Hilarious these guys trying to argue here. What they say on TimeWarp:
'The break is actually happening because the water is separated from the bottom and drawn back to it at a really really high velocity'. Go ahead and check it out, in the link wbeaty posted below (the actual sentence at 2.18-2.25). The explanation they have is just as given here by wbeaty.
What fascinates me is that perhaps someone besides myself penetrated this misconception. I REALLY want to hear the story behind their discovery.
The false belief is universal and hotly defended; that the bottle is shatted by "air pressure pulses" from hand-strikes. Nobody discovers the silver flash of cavitation. It takes abnormal tactics to disregard apparently solid knowledge and instead just watch and listen.
But more probably they just lifted the correct explanation from my video.
Its air pressure that cracks the bottle open. They explained it on the discovery channel. Thats why it doesn't work on full bottles. Nice work idiots. When trying to figure out something complicated its usually the simplest answer
Yes, their explanation is correct: cavitation, and it's the same as mine, go watch their vid: youtube com/watch?v=cOeNxkksruo They say "Warped at 10000 frames/sec we can actually se the vacuum form on the bottom" and "The liquid rushing to fill the bottom, and just blasts out the bottom"
Hmmm, I bet they based their show on my video. Let's ask them.
> wbeaty fight till you are blue in the face, you are wrong.
It's not fighting, it's me pointing out stuff, and you ignoring it. With fingers in your ears, all discussion is pointless. So my comments are aimed at the audience. Not you.
If you hit the bottle so that the top is sealed by your fist, the "bubbles" appear, and the bottom shatters. Is there high pressure above? No: if you hit the bottle without covering the top at all... same results: bubbles appear, and the bottom shatters.
Covering the top has nothing to do with the sudden burst of pressure created by the air being forced into the liquid, EXPANDING TO SEPARATE itself creating the momentary burst of pressure between the water, air and the bottom of the bottle.
Guess what?
The water is momentarily sealing the air that gets trapped from the open cavity at the top so the top of the bottle being sealed or not is irrelevant. You're just creating a small, momentary pressure cavity.
To start fights, the Troll's typical ploy is to angrily adopt a fixed belief, then use hostile namecalling to "defend" it. They cannot be swayed, because their only real goal is insult and one-upmanship.
It's not a new problem. From the year 1806:
Misery of Social Life #15, "To be obliged frequently to meet in company a man who opposes every remark for the purpose of starting an argument, in which he is always more vociferous than convincing." J. Beresford
Turns out I was right, the "water hammer" theory is both incorrect and stupid. It is in fact a result of air compression/expansion as proven on the show "Time Warp".
The air travels down into the liquid momentarily, expands to separate from the liquid and causes a momentary increase in downward pressure thus bursting the bottom out.
Check out the Time Warp episode showing what actually occurs.
it's the sudden compression of air with a bit temperature imbalance.
doesn't get my gusset creamy. why do you do this to me Tube :D

do you have to do all these steps or could you just fill a bottle with cold water and do the same thing?

i broke a beer bottle with beer in it. it has to be just right
aaweber 2 years ago
cool! i`ve tried this trick, but never got it to work, water does something to the structure of the glass, i found out by accident washing the dishes, when for example a regular drinking glass is submerged in water you can cut it with scissors quite easily. try it!

Sometimes beer will work if you use the weak type of bottle and hit it hard with something solid (like a second beer bottle.)
To guarantee success, figure out which brand of beer has the weakest bottle. Then use water instead of beer. Then first let it sit for awhile to clear out the microbubbles. That way it works every time ...and even works with much larger bottles.

Probably not a great idea to do this in your driveway where you could run over the glass. :)

Ha! After years, you're the first to notice that.
I started out with a wastebasket below. But then I found that it was simple to clean up the few splinters of colored glass in the wet blotch. The gravel tends to grab them so they don't bounce at all. My footage without the wastebasket looked better, so I used that.

Guys you gotta hit the top of the bottle.
ariskk88 2 years ago
if you wrap the top of your hand around the lip of the bottle, its ALOT easier to explode the bottom out (view my profile if u wanna see, i have a video)
g0dofxbox360 2 years ago
> its ALOT easier to explode
It's way easy to shatter the bottom if you hit the top of the bottle with the edge of a short piece of wood (like a 1x4,) No pain. Works every time. And you can strike the bottle quite gently.
Try watching the water in bright light against a dark background. When the wood hits the top, you'll probably see the cavitation bubbles.

omfg u made me laugh like hell when y try to break the large bottle
iluvpie1223 3 years ago 2

Hilarious these guys trying to argue here. What they say on TimeWarp:
'The break is actually happening because the water is separated from the bottom and drawn back to it at a really really high velocity'. Go ahead and check it out, in the link wbeaty posted below (the actual sentence at 2.18-2.25). The explanation they have is just as given here by wbeaty.
Thanks for a nice demonstration.

What fascinates me is that perhaps someone besides myself penetrated this misconception. I REALLY want to hear the story behind their discovery.
The false belief is universal and hotly defended; that the bottle is shatted by "air pressure pulses" from hand-strikes. Nobody discovers the silver flash of cavitation. It takes abnormal tactics to disregard apparently solid knowledge and instead just watch and listen.
But more probably they just lifted the correct explanation from my video.
wbeaty 3 years ago
Its air pressure that cracks the bottle open. They explained it on the discovery channel. Thats why it doesn't work on full bottles. Nice work idiots. When trying to figure out something complicated its usually the simplest answer
NahanTrebuh 3 years ago
> hey explained it on the discovery channel.
Yes, their explanation is correct: cavitation, and it's the same as mine, go watch their vid: youtube com/watch?v=cOeNxkksruo They say "Warped at 10000 frames/sec we can actually se the vacuum form on the bottom" and "The liquid rushing to fill the bottom, and just blasts out the bottom"
Hmmm, I bet they based their show on my video. Let's ask them.

wbeaty fight till you are blue in the face, you are wrong.
It's in fact air pressure breaking the bottle, NOT the liquid

> wbeaty fight till you are blue in the face, you are wrong.
It's not fighting, it's me pointing out stuff, and you ignoring it. With fingers in your ears, all discussion is pointless. So my comments are aimed at the audience. Not you.
If you hit the bottle so that the top is sealed by your fist, the "bubbles" appear, and the bottom shatters. Is there high pressure above? No: if you hit the bottle without covering the top at all... same results: bubbles appear, and the bottom shatters.
wbeaty 3 years ago
Then make a video and prove it.
Covering the top has nothing to do with the sudden burst of pressure created by the air being forced into the liquid, EXPANDING TO SEPARATE itself creating the momentary burst of pressure between the water, air and the bottom of the bottle.
Guess what?
The water is momentarily sealing the air that gets trapped from the open cavity at the top so the top of the bottle being sealed or not is irrelevant. You're just creating a small, momentary pressure cavity.

To start fights, the Troll's typical ploy is to angrily adopt a fixed belief, then use hostile namecalling to "defend" it. They cannot be swayed, because their only real goal is insult and one-upmanship.
It's not a new problem. From the year 1806:
Misery of Social Life #15, "To be obliged frequently to meet in company a man who opposes every remark for the purpose of starting an argument, in which he is always more vociferous than convincing." J. Beresford

Turns out I was right, the "water hammer" theory is both incorrect and stupid. It is in fact a result of air compression/expansion as proven on the show "Time Warp".
The air travels down into the liquid momentarily, expands to separate from the liquid and causes a momentary increase in downward pressure thus bursting the bottom out.
Check out the Time Warp episode showing what actually occurs.

> Turns out I was right, the "water hammer" theory is
Go listen to the time warp episode. They explain it correctly:
"I'M PRETTY SURE THOSE AREN'T BUBBLES"
"IT"S A CAVITATION, IT'S JUST LIKE A BUBBLE, BUT IT'S A BUBBLE OF VACUUM"
"WARPED AT 10000FPS WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE VACUUM FORM ON THE BOTTOM."
"THE LIQUID RUSHING TO FILL THE VACUUM, AND JUST BLASTS OUT THE BOTTOM"
