It never ceases to astound me how fast glass breaks, it's mesmerising and mind boggling in such a beautiful way. Edit: to put it into numbers, between 6:09 and 6:13 the crack moves from about 2/3rds of the way across the frame at 12:10:12.822308.86 to the left edge at 12:10:12.822504.86, meaning it propagated across that distance (which looks to be a few cm) over the span of 296μs, or about 67-100 times faster than chemical signals racing through your neurons to process sensory information (which takes about 20-30ms). In other words, the time between the first photons carrying information about the fact that a large pane of glass is breaking hitting your retina and your brain having turned that into a single frame image, the crack will have advanced by at least 30 meters - and that is before you've started thinking about what that new information means.

I love how much Gavin still has so much joy and wonder at the tech pushing the boundaries and delivering even more amazing footage than ever before. Really makes you appreciate the art when the artist is this passionate.
Weird, i found a comment identical to yours posted by someone else, im guessing its a bot account or something which copies comments. "zuygj bnsv 2 days ago “Of around the 4 MILLION frames the camera just took, the glass crack only took 145 frames to travel across” THAT IS NUTS! "
@@Troller1991 Nobody really knows the official limits. Some may be limited to 12 hours, others to 10, and no limits at all for others. I'm starting to think that those limits are based on some factors, like resolution, fps, and what content is in the video. That'd at least explain the ambiguity of all this.
Several years is nothing.. I've had the rear spoiler and rear tail lights from my first car (which burnt down, and those were the only parts I could salvage), for over 21 years now.. I have no plans to get rid of them either.. hahah
The wild part of the last one to me is how little of the glass bounced back up you can see the kinetic energy almost entirely get transferred from the downward movement of the glass into the shattering of the glass
they probably (and should) use Gav as the beta tester for each new model they release. They know his experience in the industry and they know he will test the gear to maximum
Have you guys ever captured sonoluminescence in slow motion? I imagine it would make a great video. You could capture mantis shrimp producing them with their super fast punch.
In fairness, only realising that this would have been a good idea after smashing some glass, and then going on to smash several more pieces of glass without acting on that realisation, is basically the most Gavin thing imaginable.
ok well the glass is for a single video, more specifically a single break, where as the camera is used in almost every single video, sooooooooo not exactly a waste if he uses it
Since the scene is virtually monochromatic anyway, he should rent the latest Shimadzu (HPV-X?) at 10 megaframes/second. It will also give the full frame-size. Even the older models have been doing 1,000,000 f/s for many years.
Im starting to think that maybe Dan was the one to think "Safety First" with these based on the fact that Gav never put down a tarp or protection for the Phantom when he just dropped a plate of glass on the floor. While wearing shorts. Dude that made me so nervous
I worked in a bottling factory and most of my day was walking on glass and having bottles explode on the regular. it’s basically harmless a tarp does nothing. That’s only for a cleanup. But it’s also safety glass....It’s literally designed to fall flat and be an easy cleanup with a dust bin. You could lay on the stuff like beach sand and maybe have some discomfort
More than any other video, I think that this video made me appreciate how doing this kind of slow mo is an ultra-specialized skill. Like, how do you make sure that you film what you want when you only have a few nanoseconds of exposure?
I've rewatched the glass hitting the floor part multiple times now, and it still gives me chills, the way it slows as it hits the ground, that wave up through it, and then the instant cracking of the glass, masterpiece. And the sound design Gav did is just the icing on the cake.
"I was waiting for this camera to be invented and... It's been invented." I CANNOT describe how cool this is to watch. Definitely one of my favorite vids of yours, and I've been here quite a while.
Guys, I think with this camera this should actually just be named to “The Slow Mo Guys 2.0” as we are on a whole new level now and I’m excited to see every video even more than I already do.
Once Dan can finally get to Texas, this would be the perfect camera to shoot a "remastered" series of some of the classics and popular videos that would benefit from a higher framerate. I'm particularly fond of the underwater bangers with those spherical explosion bubbles.
WHOOOOWWHH!!!😃 Seeing that last cutting board break was amazing! I didn’t know a whole shock wave traveled from bottom to top and then back down again before cracks began. It looked like Gell-O 😄 How cool👍🙂
I would suggest a three way collaboration with Smarter Everyday and his recording of shock waves and Demolition Ranch where he shoots glass orbs with a .50 caliber rifle.
And this is done completely differently that what's happening. Sometimes slowing down the sound works, mostly it doesn't. Gav explained this in a video
Does Gavin have a camera fast enough for him to stop by Demolition Ranch now? Think we could see some cool shots of different bullet ballistics colliding with all sorts of crazy things that Matt has shot. Would love to see a slow mo collision of a .50 BMG incendiary. 🤔
The sledge hammer bouncing off the window is something I have seen in person. A friend of mine explained it as an intended feature of safety glass. It's designed to take straight-on blunt collisions. But, if you chip it with some like the chipped edges of a ceramic spark plug, the jagged edge is able to slip into the "lattice" of the safety glass and cause a chain reaction that causes it to break away. Protect in most collisions, but give way when you need to pull someone out of a burning wreck.
So honored to have been a fan of slow mo guys to see this day when we get to finally watch the speed of glass shattering. I remember seeing the original video with the pyrex years ago and always wondering since.
Hahaha! Jeez Gav ... whenever someone told you that you can break a car window with a spark plug what they meant was that you can break a car window with _the ceramic_ from a spark plug. LOL You don't throw the whole hoofin' spark plug through the window! The plug is just a source of ceramic is all. Do this one again please ... take a spark plug, smash the ceramic on it, tie a little piece of the ceramic onto a string and then swing that little piece at toughened glass - when one of the sharp corners/sharp edges of the ceramic catches the glass just right the glass should shatter completely without caving in. It'll shatter but it'll hold it's shape & won't move and it'll barely make a sound - you'll hear the crack but you won't hear glass falling down. It's kinda cool when you get it right.
The Internet: "Did you know they shot a 20hr battle scene for lord of the rings and tossed out countless frames to compress it to a few minutes in the movie" Gav: "Hold My Beer!"
Will you by chance revisit the colored glass break video? I feel like it would be satisfying to see super slow like that, and if you can determine a method to test that circle theory from last time that would be great!
The first shots in that video are 28,500 frames per second, and the lightning looks awesome. He then steps it up to 100,000 frames per second. So much, much slower than this.
Go to the video and see for yourself? It's like asking someone how much the bananas cost while you're in the store and just a few meters from them. The idiocy is astounding.
For those who are wondering what it happening: 1. Tempered Glass is constructed in such a way that the skin is put under tension as the glass cools. This tension gives the piece incredible strength against shattering when a distributed force is applied (like the sledgehammer) by deforming like a sheet flapping in the wind. The energy ripples across the glass, but the piece maintains it integrity. 2. BUT, if you SCRATCH the glass, that tension is released and the piece shatters under the strain.This shattering renders the glass into tiny little cubes. While these little bits are still sharp, you don't get the needle like, ultra thin, fines of glass that could shred skin. It's odd, but both of these properties are the desired outcome of tempered glass. You don't want the glass to break just by someone putting their elbow, fist, or head through the glass, but when it does break, you want it forming shapes much safer than normal glass. (Trust me, I've worked with art glass for slumping and fusing. It's VERY EASY to cut oneself without knowing it, only to look down at all the blood on the table.) Prince Rupert Drops demonstrate what goes into tempered glass.
I always wonder how it's possible to have a crack in a car windscreen given that it's tempered glass. My car had a crack just appear one day from the side to about a fifth of the way across, but why didn't it shatter?
@@Milamberinx I don't think the windshield is tempered glass. It's a laminate where two layers of glass sandwich a plastic polymer sheet. In the event something tries to smash through the windshield, the plastic holds everything together. My guess it's because of those flying rocks that love to chip the windshield is why tempered glass isn't used there. Can you imagine driving down the highway, and suddenly you're sitting in a pile of your windshield because a rock hit it? Here's the glass that's used for windshields: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_glass
Thank you so much for calling out Destin! I can't wait to see how you all of you guys use this new camera! Keep it real, and unbelievably slow all the more guys!
@@John-Doe-Yo it's significantly stronger than normal glass, somewhere around 5x stronger. It also doesn't just break the way normal glass does either. When breaking a car window (or any tempered glass), you want to use something with a _very_ small surface area, like a pointed metal tip, rather than a giant sledgehammer or rock. That's why the spark plug worked so well, but the sledgehammer didn't. It's not so much about brute force as it is about pinpoint accuracy. Mythbusters actually did an episode on breaking out of a sinking car and addressed this in part of it. That's also why car safety gadgets have window breakers that are just tiny metal spikes. If the car window had been regular glass, it would have shattered when he hit it with the sledgehammer, but no car window is made of regular glass.
I'm guessing Gavin is just borrowing the camera for this shoot, the thing probably costs half a million dollars and they will probably only use it occasionally. Leasing makes more sense.
Sometimes when i see some slow motion videos, i say "ok they cant go any slower, even if they go there is no meaning, we saw everything" but when i watch the slower video i realize that im so wrong. there is so many things going on that we cant even imagine how fast it is

When you realize that Gavin is teaching us how to steal a car.
Gavin doesn't even know how to drive. He is just teaching us vandalism
Next video: slow mo car jack
Just how to break car door windows
Steal luggage
you wouldn't steal a car
Guess who's back, back again
Gavin's back, tell a friend

Seems like a slingshot would be just the thing for this.
CONTENT.
I think you’ll need a time lapse camera for Dan’s tunnel😂
7:58 most satisfying sound in the universe. Like a huge anvil falling perfectly on steel.
And this is done completely differently that what's happening. Sometimes slowing down the sound works, mostly it doesn't. Gav explained this in a video
Now change the playback to .25 and listen to it
Does Gavin have a camera fast enough for him to stop by Demolition Ranch now? Think we could see some cool shots of different bullet ballistics colliding with all sorts of crazy things that Matt has shot. Would love to see a slow mo collision of a .50 BMG incendiary. 🤔
Imagine a dragons breath shell at 800,000 fps
this is what i didnt know i needed. i also dont know how i missed this video and am so late
@@user-fx8bk3fo8u Me too lmao
Yeah he should shoot dry ice with a 50 cal
Or his buddy that's got the Tanks
That's a sweet new webcam you got there Gav!
Still one of the funniest things I've ever seen 🤣
This is like the comment your mom makes on your channel that you don't want anyone to see
The sledge hammer bouncing off the window is something I have seen in person. A friend of mine explained it as an intended feature of safety glass. It's designed to take straight-on blunt collisions. But, if you chip it with some like the chipped edges of a ceramic spark plug, the jagged edge is able to slip into the "lattice" of the safety glass and cause a chain reaction that causes it to break away. Protect in most collisions, but give way when you need to pull someone out of a burning wreck.
So honored to have been a fan of slow mo guys to see this day when we get to finally watch the speed of glass shattering. I remember seeing the original video with the pyrex years ago and always wondering since.
They also did this video, which was really cool to watch as a long piece of glass broke in a line.
ruclips.net/video/GIMVge5TYz4/видео.html
Speed of light was cool too
the way that the last cutting board stays stood up for so long before starting to crack is so eerie and i can’t explain why
when in actuality, it stood up for a fraction of a second.
As someone who makes tempered glass, these videos always floor me on how explosive and quick the glass really is.
Hahaha! Jeez Gav ... whenever someone told you that you can break a car window with a spark plug what they meant was that you can break a car window with _the ceramic_ from a spark plug. LOL You don't throw the whole hoofin' spark plug through the window! The plug is just a source of ceramic is all. Do this one again please ... take a spark plug, smash the ceramic on it, tie a little piece of the ceramic onto a string and then swing that little piece at toughened glass - when one of the sharp corners/sharp edges of the ceramic catches the glass just right the glass should shatter completely without caving in. It'll shatter but it'll hold it's shape & won't move and it'll barely make a sound - you'll hear the crack but you won't hear glass falling down. It's kinda cool when you get it right.
The Internet: "Did you know they shot a 20hr battle scene for lord of the rings and tossed out countless frames to compress it to a few minutes in the movie"

I love how mature Gavin has gotten, I remember when I watched him 7 years ago and he was like a little kid still lol
Still a kid at heart and mind even if his hair is turning gray.
It’s crazy. They’ve gone from genie balloon to their own RUclips show to celebrity cameos
Will you by chance revisit the colored glass break video?
I feel like it would be satisfying to see super slow like that, and if you can determine a method to test that circle theory from last time that would be great!
You should get Dan on video chat while you film. Just put your phone camera sticking out of your pocket so he can see what's going on and react to it.
Where's dan?
@@dinothunder5233 I’m pretty sure Dan lives in England, while Gav is in the states, and due to Covid they can’t travel to meet up easily.
@@dinothunder5233 tunneling to Texas. At this rate he might get there within the decade.
Eh something tells me there's more going on here than just travel restrictions...
@@Nik.No.K based on what exactly?
You’ll have to give Dan a slow-mo hug once he digs his way there.
Dan has been fired from Slo mo guys, how do you think Gav could afford the PHANTOM
If he did at these speeds it would literally last a week
How fast was your video filming lightning?
Literally, how could that be much slower. Probably because it’s on so much of a larger scale with lightning and they’re so much farther away I guess.
Sidenote: what the heck is your channel bro, did a corporate slave forget to switch accounts?
They once filmed the speed of light too
The first shots in that video are 28,500 frames per second, and the lightning looks awesome. He then steps it up to 100,000 frames per second. So much, much slower than this.
Go to the video and see for yourself? It's like asking someone how much the bananas cost while you're in the store and just a few meters from them. The idiocy is astounding.
I would love to see him capture lightning again, but now with this phantom
I feel like a GOD putting the youtube playback speed at 0.25x
The sounds at 0.25x make it seem like the matrix got hurt.
It was like a jump scare lol
Hello good sir, how's life in the year 3021?
The frame rate is just gonna be really low it doesn’t actually slow down the video it’s just an illusion
Imagine if he slowed the video down in editing and then you slowed it down more on yt
For those who are wondering what it happening:
1. Tempered Glass is constructed in such a way that the skin is put under tension as the glass cools. This tension gives the piece incredible strength against shattering when a distributed force is applied (like the sledgehammer) by deforming like a sheet flapping in the wind. The energy ripples across the glass, but the piece maintains it integrity.
2. BUT, if you SCRATCH the glass, that tension is released and the piece shatters under the strain.This shattering renders the glass into tiny little cubes. While these little bits are still sharp, you don't get the needle like, ultra thin, fines of glass that could shred skin.
It's odd, but both of these properties are the desired outcome of tempered glass. You don't want the glass to break just by someone putting their elbow, fist, or head through the glass, but when it does break, you want it forming shapes much safer than normal glass. (Trust me, I've worked with art glass for slumping and fusing. It's VERY EASY to cut oneself without knowing it, only to look down at all the blood on the table.)
Prince Rupert Drops demonstrate what goes into tempered glass.
Ty for the explanation! This is REALLY fascinating but mainly cool 😲😄
I always wonder how it's possible to have a crack in a car windscreen given that it's tempered glass. My car had a crack just appear one day from the side to about a fifth of the way across, but why didn't it shatter?
@@Milamberinx I don't think the windshield is tempered glass. It's a laminate where two layers of glass sandwich a plastic polymer sheet. In the event something tries to smash through the windshield, the plastic holds everything together. My guess it's because of those flying rocks that love to chip the windshield is why tempered glass isn't used there. Can you imagine driving down the highway, and suddenly you're sitting in a pile of your windshield because a rock hit it?
Here's the glass that's used for windshields: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_glass

That wiggle before the tempered glass shatters was unreal
Makes glass look like the liquid it is.
I assure you, it was very real.
Absolutely incredible

Gavin: **tries to break window with sledgehammer**
Also Gavin: **forgets physics of tempered glass**
What are the physics of tempered glass?
@@John-Doe-Yo it's significantly stronger than normal glass, somewhere around 5x stronger. It also doesn't just break the way normal glass does either. When breaking a car window (or any tempered glass), you want to use something with a _very_ small surface area, like a pointed metal tip, rather than a giant sledgehammer or rock. That's why the spark plug worked so well, but the sledgehammer didn't. It's not so much about brute force as it is about pinpoint accuracy. Mythbusters actually did an episode on breaking out of a sinking car and addressed this in part of it. That's also why car safety gadgets have window breakers that are just tiny metal spikes. If the car window had been regular glass, it would have shattered when he hit it with the sledgehammer, but no car window is made of regular glass.
@@Amarianee thank you for explaining the physics of tempered glass

I'm guessing Gavin is just borrowing the camera for this shoot, the thing probably costs half a million dollars and they will probably only use it occasionally. Leasing makes more sense.
@@danieljensen2626 with Gav's relationship with Phantom, they probably just gave him one, and wrote the cost off as a marketing expense.

Don’t worry, Friday’s almost here.
That was yesterday! Now you gotta go around the wheel again
Who knows maybe gav is waiting for taco Tuesday well
I'm amazed how perfectly level that last pane landed on the floor
Sometimes when i see some slow motion videos, i say "ok they cant go any slower, even if they go there is no meaning, we saw everything" but when i watch the slower video i realize that im so wrong. there is so many things going on that we cant even imagine how fast it is
This camera would make revisiting some of the older stuff potentially pretty interesting as well!
7:22 this fact right here shows how epically FAST the crack travels. 145 frames out of 4 million!
