Today, we're using a nostalgic item—a video tape—in our rubber band challenge! We'll be wrapping rubber bands around the tape to test how much pressure it can withstand. Watch closely to see how the tape’s internal reels and cassette housing deform, and don’t miss the dramatic breaking point!
Video tapes used to be a popular way to watch and store movies or home videos. But this time, we’re focusing on its durability under the force of rubber bands. How will it change, and will it eventually burst? Watch to find out!
