Episode notes
Bullet Collision Experiment
- Destin and David Linderman shot bullets at each other for a video.
- They used electric primers and timed the shots to collide nose-to-nose.
Metal Necking
- Metal failure involves necking, where the material narrows before breaking.
- This process is similar to how Play-Doh stretches and thins before separating.

- Every material has a stress-strain curve defining its elastic and plastic regions.
