Breaking glass with sound

[Sephiroth0172]

Here you can see: Even Glass is flexible, just use the right frequency and every physical rules are set off...

[poisen06]

I love how the glass wobbles as if it's melting and then shatters, it's a kinda trippy effect. Kinda like fire and ice there. Amazing.

[ginseng2012]

That´s much safer than Jaime Vendera holding it in front of his mouth and doing it with his voice directly

[fsguy95]

Reminds me of my window when I put my subwoofer on full once.

[vicbong93]

Am i dead or blind!!! Where is the sound....

[benmarbot]

@vicbong93 ... u can hear if your blind.... and if you were dead you wouldn't care... so... neither?

[dredloxx13]

@Topbottle360 lol!!!

[kvbcorrie]

it will only happen if the glass fibrates on the EXACT frequentie of the sound. becouse then the glas will fibrate harder and harder so it could collapse

[whoddaya]

@kvbcorrie I'm not trying to stereotype, but are you from Netherlands? I ask because I have seen Dutch pronounce "v" as "f" and "f" as "v". Just curious. :)

[kvbcorrie]

@whoddaya and you haven't watched my channel? curious basterd hahaha

[kvbcorrie]

@whoddaya and it is: from THE Netherlands, or : from holland ! and what do you know about the Netherlands ?

[whoddaya]

@kvbcorrie I do not know much about it except for your country's participation in cricket and an acquaintance on youtube who speaks in the way I mentioned. Thus the question in the first place. :)

[kvbcorrie]

@whoddaya and you should have known us from the World Cup 2010! and yeah I'm from Holland, but i think you know it from my chanel! inspector whoddaya! haha

[whoddaya]

@whoddaya Haha! Should have done that before asking the question.

[mufferrs]

can the sound be heard with the human ear

[optionsnone]

Parabolic resonance, wavelength matching curves of the glass.

I want to see extraction of elements from a compound via parabolic resonance of atomic dimension.

For example extracting carbon from exhaust gases.

[kosovoboooy]

no sound

[N1run]

amazing how much it can accentually bend before breaking

[RichardFeral6]

Sound: Vibrations of air molecules

[Coecoo]

Is there a more convenient way to rupturing glass with frequencies other than having an huge speaker next to it?

[LiveRoomRecords]

@Coecoo you could throw it accross the room ?

[TeamPresposterous]

You tap the glass, record the sound, play it loud enough until the glass breaks.

It's called resonating frequency. Everything has one. With the correct equipment, this could even be done to a building. Nikola Tesla invented plans for such a machine.

Instead of the ignorant bastards arguing about something you barely understand, which the History or Discovery Chanel every now and then.

:CG:

[Flagen579]

All i know is that u have to create the right frequenty and hold it long enough to brake it. Pls someone correct me if i'm wrong.

[LiveRoomRecords]

the glass isnt broken through vibrations, its using very very incredibly loud frequencies. there is only one particular frequency that can do things like this, and for every single object its different. every human has a resonant frequency based on their height and mass, this frequency, if found can cause the persons ears to bleed etc. this is the same with the glass as the resonant freq has been found, it causes the glass to shatter. theoretically with this same theory, you could melt sheep!

[XgwilosX]

@LiveRoomRecords

Hmmm, unforunately you are unable to melt sheep :( The reason being.. Every part of your body has a different natural frequency. For example. Your head is between 13hz and 20z while your eyes are between 35hz and 75hz. It all depends on the person. Therefore, it is impossible to to target the entire body with a single frequency

[LiveRoomRecords]

@XgwilosX well said that man! 

[fuggify]

i love it when physics craps itself

[SurfNSunFun]

it looked really cool vibrating. :))

[keropoklekor007]

resonance... if frequency glass = frequency sound,

[ikilluforcoffe]

omg u see the distortion in the beginning?

[tjwalkerbest]

im not sure if you got "high speed" and "slow-mo" confused...

[RavetodaGrave]

@tjwalkerbest no the correct term for "slo-mo" is high speed, 

[Elron4u]

no sound?

[ruzzzler]

wasnt this the video from mythbusters? but still interesting.

[Blaze200038]

Technically, at the risk of joining a chilly flame war, any material can be broken with sound. It requires using a frequency that has resonance with the material, meaning that over prolonged exposure, it will continue to vibrate more and more strongly until it breaks, as seen at 0:06 . If you want to understand resonance, take a pendulum and hit it at the far end of its swing, just after it stops, in the way it was just going. Keep doing that, it swings farther and farther in either direction

[thegiordan099]

@Blaze200038 Yes. Exactly.

[shirye]

glass

[op684]

so, can you break a stone into pieces by tuning into its resonance and amplyfing it?

[acs272]

@op684 Only if you could make an extremely thin piece of resonant stone

[IdleBigots]

@acs272

Explains avalanches. It's the same principle, so it doesn't have to be a thin piece of stone.

[acs272]

@IdleBigots Sounds unlikely to me

[IdleBigots]

@acs272

I didn't mean break a giant rock with your voice...your vocal cords are not strong enough to make a sound that powerful without being greatly, greatly amplified. But I'm sure you've heard of an avalanche being caused by echos in a canyon or something.

[swedishgamer]

they tested this on Mythbusters you can break a glass with your voice !

[frikken20]

can you do this with something like brick?

[FearDotKill]

how come the camera lens not broke???

[acs272]

@FearDotKill We used a long-lens on the camera so it was a few metres away. It looks like it goes through the camera, because of the depth of field and focussing.

[IdleBigots]

@FearDotKill Every material has it's breaking point compared with some frequency of sound wave. The camera lens is thicker,is supported by the camera itself, and isn't made of crystal, which can easily be shattered when hit with it's antitheses pitch.

[NapalmCandy]

@IdleBigots Not exactly a rubber material will not break with any frecuency, but can enter on resonance.

[IdleBigots]

@NapalmCandy

Rubber is man-made, thus it doesn't count.

[tehbossasian]

some 2pac playing in the backround

[redmastif01]

nice

[seemecrap]

this could be a really good music video

[Tipzyyy]

@TrevorCox lol what do you think sound is? vibration is sound, good job tho like the vid

[strosse]

seen a guy do it with his voice

[CrashingCrockery]

Bitchin'! "Was it live, or was it Ella Fitzgerald?"

[Infrantage2]

That's so cool!

[messuh14]

Thats really sweet :) I wish I could do that with my own voice ;D

[KillaRacist1000]

yall are stupid, its the vibration, then the freaqueny of the noise that breaks it

[7amsays]

@KillaRacist1000 You're a dumb fuck. The frequency is what produces the vibration to shatter the glass. Moron.

[FeelTehBa55]

@KillaRacist1000 Yeah.. cuz sound isn't technically vibration or anything right? -_-

[G4m3Kitty]

@KillaRacist1000 Technically it's called resonance, but you've basically got it, I think.

[ActiveStorage]

is it possible to break a building or a bones in a human body with the same method?

[alzlon]

yes, you can theoretically destroy stuff with nothing but sound, but not realistically. during WWII the Germans tried to use large tuba things to destroy targets but they were just so large and unwieldy that you could easily destroy it before it could shoot at you, and i don't think they really work overly well.

[ActiveStorage]

thanks. what are those german experimental things again? would like to find more about it on the internet

[MoronMantra]

think it might have something to do with what is called "The Bell". do a video search (torrents) for Secret Weps of WW2

[Heyeyez]

Whoa!

[Mikita12131323213]

Err... when did i say it touched it? i said the Vibration from the sound that is breaking it, not the sound itself.

[L33tMonk3ys]

sound is vibration...

[Mikita12131323213]

It's just the Vibration breaking the glass...

[TrevorCox]

@Mikita12131323213 Yes, but the vibration is through the air, the loudspeaker is close to but not touching the glass

[verystrangegeorge]

@Mikita12131323213

Sound is a vibration

[Diphallia]

nah, they didn't get any in their mouth when they tried.

[Diphallia]

but it IS possible to do that with your voice.

It's been proved!

[TrevorCox]

Only if you like glass in your mouth

[saladfury99]

@TrevorCox no it CAN happen

[WantOxide]

yep thats true!

[XgwilosX]

@Diphallia

Actually, breaking a wine glass is done by using a specific frequency. If you can find the natural frequency (resonance) of the wine glass by repeatedly trying different frequencies (they must be high frequencies) you are able to cause rapid vibrations to occur in the wineglass. Eventually, the wineglass will shatter.. as seen in the video. Im not exacly sure, what the highest frequency someone has been able to sing at, but if someone can match it...it will smash for sure! :)

[Diphallia]

@XgwilosX yeah, they did that on mythbusters actually.
