I like that the majority of the video is her being amazed at her powers of destruction.

My son admitted to me, years later, that he had tried to do this with my Klipsch speakers and some Irish crystal. Thankfully, it failed.

If you want to try this but don't have the vocal control, there's an easy shortcut- just clamp your glassware to a stand while it's in the1/

Pitch control is easier with larger targets. Try pitching the glass at a fireplace or other large object; it'll break quite easily.

Have you tried tree pushing? If you get it right you can knock down a tree with the addictive effect of waves

don't knock down trees. and don't get addicted to waves. that's how you become one of those beach bum surfers..

If you push a tree with the muscles in your arm in the right pulse pattern you can topple a tree. The pulse or waves compound, see video ⬆️

The Mythbusters had a good episode about this. And yes, it is quite possible, but you need a clear and tightly controlled voice.

In this case I would have thought her holding the glass stem would have absorbed any building harmonics.

If you put a straw in it, you'll have an easier time finding the right pitch. The correct pitch will wiggle the straw

4 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

All you need is the right resonance frequency and it's not that hard to measure it... Physics girl measured it before doing that.

4 years ago | Likes 39 Dislikes 0

The hard part is singing it. Finding and keeping that frequency at a decent enough amplitude to transfer sufficient energy into the glass.

4 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 1

True, but actually it's not that hard when you train a bit for the known "bandwith". Like 10 minutes and anyone can break a glass.

4 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 3

Got any resources? As a man with decent lungs, I'd love to learn this as a party trick.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

All you need is a computer, microphone and speakers to figure out the right resonance frequency of that glass you're trying to brake.

It's called harmonic resonance, and they teach you about it in school.

How do you know which note to use? Does it matter?

4 years ago | Likes 52 Dislikes 1

Also what material? Can any glass work or does it have to be super thin?

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I assume the headphones were playing the right note and she was trying to match it

4 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

hmm... cool to learn

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yes, it matters. The trick is to reach a note that causes resonance, which you will know you've reached when the glass vibrates a lot.

4 years ago | Likes 36 Dislikes 0

Wouldn't holding the glass with your hand dampen the vibration? A solid hard holder would help, no?

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I would assume that the intensity of the resonant vibration is great enough that the dampening from a hand is irrelevant.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The vibrating part is the glass "bowl" or cylinder. The stem has very little effect on it when held.

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

The note where you hold the glass sideways so there's already a lot of pressure on the breaking point

The glass has a resonant pitch. I’m sure even glasses my the same maker have slight variations. You have to find the note and hold it.

It's called harmonic resonance. Every thing has it. That's how the myth of the brown note came up.

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Unfortunately, every different type of cell in your body has a different harmonic resonance, so no.

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

you use the same note the glass plays when you tap it, but it has to be insanely precise

4 years ago | Likes 98 Dislikes 0

is it tho? I feel like precision is never a problem. It's the octave range that is cuz everyone has their octave limit, some more or less

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Thanks.

4 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Talking 1/8 or even 1/16ths of a tone precise. Pianos move in 1/2 tone increments.

4 years ago | Likes 39 Dislikes 2

way more precise than that, like maybe within 1/100 of the note

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 6

At a 16th of a tone you change the frequency by about 1.5-2 hz per change, more than precise enough for glass

4 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 2

I'm pretty sure glass would be shattering all over the place if you could be that inprecise.

I tried to find a source on that piano claim but now I know exactly how much pianos weigh and how to move them.

A tone in music is an A to a B and so forth, so a A to A# is a half tone
