Prince Rupert Drops .
Prince rupert drops.
What I was trying to accomplish was a response that addressed the three main topics in the reading
Art, Science and technology.
Prince Rupert drops are made by dropping hot glass into water.
The temperature of the glass cools so quickly that it results in the glass being ultra compressed. the resulting bubble of glass can withstand an extremely large amount of newton pressure.
but the tail of the prince Rupert drop is so delicate that when broken causes a violent explosion of glass. below is a link that shows the explosive qualities.
even though the idea of technology is not very evident. The science behind the prince Rupert drop lead to a lot of new discoveries with technology. for example, it resulted in ideas like gorilla glass. which is used in all new phone productions.
These photos combine what I believe to be a sculptural combination of all three of the topics.
art, science and technology.
We can use this to evaluate where my sculptural prince Rupert drops fall into.
