Water is a liquid that is essential for every single living organism. We all need to drink it to survive, but we also use it for bathing, cooking, cleaning etc. However, in the video that we have for you today, water is being used in an unorthodox way. In this video, water is actually used as a cutter! That is correct, cutting steel with water is possible and this video proves just how amazing that looks! Also, we are not talking about a small piece of steel that is half an inch thick. Here you will see the water jet cutting through an 8“ thick piece of steel!
The concept for cutting steel with water is the following. Water is used by a water jet, which sprays the water from a small nozzle at a whopping 60000 PSI! You wouldn`t want to be anywhere near that thing when it sprays the water! Anyways, this pressure is enough for the water to burst out at speeds of around 2000 mph. When travelling at this speed, water can easily cut through an 8“ thick piece of steel. Even though it sounds kind of unbelievable, the video will prove to you that water can indeed be used as a potent cutter. Press play on the video below and enjoy!
