How to Break Glass with Your Voice - Hard Science
Ғылым және технология
Watch outtakes here! testu.be/1grk4GC
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.

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.

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.

no its not from experience and theory,as i said earlier there is brownian which states that all matter exists in a constant random motion at the molecular level ,whaat happens when you heat a tin glass like that it cracks if not break,because the increase in temp made the particles to vibrate faster than the normal rate,same applies to sound if it can make it vibrate faster than normal

To me, it's a failure. They were supposed to break the glass with their voice, not with a powerful amplifier. Too easy this way, and doesn't prove anything because it's OBVIOUS that such a strong vibration from a powerful amplifier with a directional speaker would make it. The whole point of the experiment should have been doing it with their voice and no electric amplification at all. Maybe they could have used the reverb of an auditorium to achieve some degree of amplification to their "natural" decibel level. ;)

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.

There was a lil kid who was able to shatter the glass by himself. Lol he must have a voice of an angel XD
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.

my mistake hearing this from headphone, RIPS my ear drum, but the vision of Tara compensates me.
Would this work with noise too? White noise is all frequencies at the same time and roughly the same level with constant variation. If you had a handful of glasses on a table, could you break all of them at one time with white noise projected at 100db?
YOU NEED MORE SUBS! IM RECOMMENDING U GUYS TO EVERYONE I KNOW!
Great topic!
Can you please tell me how to find the kind of glasses that will break? I bought a box at Walmart and then found out they are not actually Chrystal. So it can get expensive trying to buy ones that won’t break. Please help me find some, thank you.
the end is what true joy looks like

Direct the sound waves directly into the glass takes a few minute 2 boards hot melt the glass base to the "L" BOARDS WHICH can also be hot melted together.
Richard Hammond did it more elegantly in Engineering Connections. But nice to see it done in a different way. I really like Hard Science.
I have questian does it work if I did it with a high light voice or a high dark voice?
"It's unbreakable. It's Bruce Willis." Wow.
0:12 I love how the music just drops out when Michael is introduced.. :D
so much fun! I think you should have called in the Mythbusters on this one.
What's the software on the computer?

I'm amazing at this i don't need special equipment or my voice to break a glass, I just do it with my hand and floor in fact I'm so good at it I do it by mistake and that takes skill.
Whats the song at the beggining when they ask him if its possible
My friend broke a pint glass with Run DMC - Jump Around. The trumpet at the start was too much for it.
My ears! Haha. I shouldn't have plugged in with headphones! This is awesome! I would totally want to see them try it at windows!
Honestly any sound loud enough and direct like that would break it. It's just vibrations through the atmosphere. yes the resonance of the glass itself helps, but how much?
I shattered a glass by checking if it would resonate with my kitchen floor. It worked really good !
All I can ever think about when I see these is that Alexander Pope quote: "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring"
Why the repost?

Just watched a 10 year old effortless break glass. Yet 3 grown adults struggle
How do you guys not have 7 million subscribers
Can't believe these guys broke a glass with just that. I watched a documentary wherein a male with very high vocal range and a soprano coloratura from the philippine madrigal singers tried to use their voices to break a glass..They tried singing directly through the glass, used amplifiers to make the sound louder and a device that directly puts the sound to the glass. They tried evreything but didn't work tho.
does this mean that you can't actually break a glass without using all that equipement (speakers, microphones etc)??

Not like that, but if you could produce ENOUGH sound you could.. But that would take a lot.. idk if it's within our technological reach or not. Probably if we REALLY wanted to build it.
Why did they stop making videos
I've never seen someone so exited about breaking glass
this is so cool, if only i had the equipment hahaha
You have to match to resonant frequency of the glass and sing it loudly enough to basically vibrate the glass to death
can whistle tones break glass?
2:12 absolutely no chance that frequency is coming outta the tweeter. Crossover is usually well over 2kHz. Put that thing in front of the woofer and you stand a much better chance.
That scream at 3:00 so happy.
Love this channel! Science is indeed fun =P
I watched this with the volume down just in case. Didn't want all the glass in my house to start shattering.
This looks interesting
Well done guys that was good check out Mythbusters they managed to do that to and did it with an unamplified voice

What is the resonant frequency of the human eyes. It would be cool to just blow someone’s eyes with my voice
It is not only a matter of "db", it is a matter of "hrz". Find the tune the glass vibrate, "sing" in the same tune, and ye won't need so much power of amplification to brake it.
Anthony, that's an awesome shirt. Where did you get it! hahaha
You don't need that much decibel to break it. You need only the right frequency to obtain the resonant condition.
I wanna do this so bad, I could probably make a sonic cannon with this info
