This Weapon Punches Through Tanks Using Math and Molten Metal

Tanks are built to survive explosions—but they’re no match for a weapon that uses geometry to create a hypersonic jet of molten metal. From the invention of the shaped charge to why cardboard and wooden slats can save lives in battle, this video uncovers the strange physics behind RPGs and anti-tank rockets. You’ll learn how Soviet engineers outsmarted the Bazooka, how a WWII grenade led to the most widely used anti-tank weapon in the world, and why modern war is still shaped by a century-old arms race between armor and firepower. And yes—this is also how some nuclear bombs work.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
