      This one’s actually sorta easy for anyone to recreate. It’s not the glass that caused the flash but the pressure generated between the two spheres. You can actually burn a piece of paper of you hold it up and clap two steel balls together with your hands due to the mass being transferred into a tiny spot causing extreme but temporary heats. At those speeds and mass I can only imagine that spot was temporarily the temperature of the surface of the sun.

    The fact that the glass sparked like that just shows how much energy was in that collision. Fascinating stuff.

    • @bleachbleachBLEACHER
      @bleachbleachBLEACHER 3 месяца назад +13

      The thing is - that's something you can get with spheres in general. Because when you strike two hard spherical objects into each other, there is only the SMALLEST point of actual contact between them at the edge of the curve, and that instigates a moment of intense heat. Just look up 'burning paper with steel balls' to see the same kind of thing on a smaller scale.
      So with these glass balls - with how fast they were chucked at each other, I assume with all the force of that collision collecting at such a tiny point of contact is what resulted in the two of them not just sparking but utterly annihilating each other instead of just going Coney Joney.

      Upon further research, this seems to be more in line with triboluminescence. Light energy created when objects are mechanically crushed, ripped apart, etc. Glass is, apparently, not inherently piezoelectric but can be manipulated to be under certain conditions (like this video?). Turns out there's not a lot to find regarding the science of colliding two large solid glass spheres online.

      @@legro19 That's a completely different effect. You're spalling a small bit of steel from the ball which heats that tiny fragment up immensely, and given the small size and availability of oxygen, it turns into a spark. Glass doesn't have the mechanism to produce a spark in the same way that steel does. I mean, you're trying to contradict something that's absolutely science based, repeatedly demonstrated, and explained beyond a reasonable doubt by comparing it to how a completely different material reacts to similar forces. That's not going to work out well for you man.

Since the contact surface is very tiny and the material don't deform the kinetic energy is transformed in heat wich vaporize ( turn in plasma ) the matter at contact point.

The heat produced in that friction is enough to heat the metal chips that come off the pickaxe (and possibly the metal from the rocks), which are the sparks that are observed. It is something similar to polishing metal with a grinder. The triboluminescence phenomenon seen in this video has another cause.
