  • Ever crack your cell phone screen? How about your car windshield? Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman explain why those days may soon be behind us. Watch as they conduct mind-bending demonstrations of strong, durable glass. This is the Glass Age, where materials science is constantly pushing boundaries and creating new possibilities for glass-enabled technology and design. See how glass is shaping the future at www.TheGlassAge.com. Presented by Corning.

    • @1Jamesinator
      @1Jamesinator Před 8 lety +33

      +Rinyotsu If Gorilla glass breaks (which it would from a direct impact like that), it would completely shatter due to the tension forces in the glass. This means your vision becomes completely obscured.

    • @Rinyotsu
      @Rinyotsu Před 8 lety +11

      Well, then it's a good thing most windshields have a slant to them making any impacts more of a glancing blow rather than a direct impact. That being said, with a direct impact, regardless of the glass, your vision is going to be impaired and the windshield should be replaced prior to future driving in that car.
      I'd be interested in hearing any results you may have on the shattering conditions of a panel of gorilla laminated versus a panel of traditional laminated glass.

      @kbolduc2672 Před 8 lety +2

      a couple of issues one is why use two pieces when you can just use one and have the same strength as glass in cars now. another point I learned from working in the glass industry is laminted glass is really hard to work with just making a curved laminated piece with out air pockets is very hard.

    • @jmarkellos
      @jmarkellos Před 8 lety +5

      +kurtis bolduc Laminated glass in cars isn't so much about strength. The use is a "safe failure" design so that when it does break the driver isn't pelted with shards of glass. When you use one sheet of glass when it breaks it may break like laminated but, it may also shatter into billions of shards becoming projectiles to the driver. So instead of focusing on making strong glass, the focus is glass that can break safely. As glass tech gets better who can say for sure if this will remain the case but for now even the gorilla glass in this video is laminated glass (yes with regular glass on the outside.)

    • @bryansage4947
      @bryansage4947 Před 9 lety +25

      My guess is, it is not used on the outside due to the increased "surface tension" The reason it works so well on the inside is that there should be no scratches on the inside that would compromise that glasses tension. The outside would be prone to constant attacks on it tension, rocks, debris ect ect. Since the inside (gorrila) has increased engineered tension. Those scratches and dings would be more significant inside. Since the outside has less tension, it can handle those issues better.

      It would actually fail a lot worse, making a tighter web of fracture lines that would be nearly impossible to see out of. While both panels would still be bound to the laminate layer (no major glass projectiles), with the tempered glass, drivers wouldn't be able to see and would likely crash after such a break.

    I suspect the big problem with this wonder product is the same reason why we don't use tempered glass for windshields. Regular laminate glass does not shatter; it cracks. Which means you don't lose forward visibility from a rock strike. Tempered glass also shatters in relatively large pieces, while the Prince Rupert glass explodes into much smaller and possibly more dangerous fragments.
    It's an impressive demonstration, but I hesitate to call it a safety solution until we see what the failure mode of gorrila glass truly is. Although since this is several years old, it's possible the answer is already out there.
