- dzdt 1y agoYeah its not really what it looks like though. They put cylinders of soft metal in place of where you would expect the press to have hardened steel.
- aragonite 1y agoHas this been confirmed? The original channel also posted a comparison video [1] showing what seems to be the same cylinders tested against titanium and tungsten cubes (though it's difficult to be sure they are identical) There's also footage from another channel [2] showing a Prince Rupert's Drop bursting at 20 tons with significant damage to both the steel plate and the press.
