The Prince Rupert's Drop
Ever since my middle school science class when we were given rods of glass and allowed to melt them over a Bunsen burner, I've been obsessed with melting glass.
Glass artists from all over the world use fire to blow, shape, and sculpt glass into all kinds of cool forms.
This video below explains the really interesting and freaky thing hot glass does when it is dropped into a bucket of cool water.
This effect is called, "The Prince Rupert's Drop," although it was not discovered by Prince Rupert.
