How to Break Glass with Your Voice - Hard Science

Показать описание

Michael Thurber of cdza joins Tara and Anthony as they attempt to break glass with the human voice. Will Michael's vocal cords be enough to get the job done? Watch to find out!

Experiment Tips:
- Place a straw inside the glass. When the straw starts to bounce around your voice has reached the natural frequency of the glass.
- Leaded, crystal glasses work best for this experiment because they are more delicate.
- A horn driver helps center the sound in one place.

List of Materials Used

How To Breakdown

Best Glasses To Use
The glass needs to contain a small flaw. The shattering starts with this small crack. The blemish can be too small to be seen by the naked eye.

Join Anthony Carboni and Tara Long as they turn the world around them into a giant science experiment. New videos every Wednesday!

lol they spent so much money to break a glass with a speaker, when it has been done by a kid attempting it on youtube soley with his own voice.

My mother would practice singing hit the same frequency as the door bell and make the door bell ring XD

But can you break it without all that fancy equipment and just use your voice?

Just think, I'm pretty sure there is a sound high enough to possibly turn us into a pile of goo.

Anthony is so fucking adorable.

seriously this guy's scream at 3:00 would have broken the glass in the first place without amplification :3

2:43 "so we can make sure that the pitch is over a 100 decibels"

Hard Science is amazing. It makes Science more accessible, and really really fun. Awesome work. ^-^

Shoulda captured it in high speed, I would have liked to see it break on it's own from sound, at massive frames per second.

The glass didn't break at first because pure crystal wine glasses are the ones you can break with nothing but voice. This is why they had to use amplifiers.

Mythbusters did it with only their voice, no amplifiers or equipment.

Great indian classical singers were routinely singing raagas to make clouds rain and ragas to light lamps
Raag megh malhar for bringing rain
Raag Deepak to make an unlit lamp burst into fire
