@@HankBukowski Well it looks like Audi based on the symbol on the doorhandle, and since it has a long corner window at the back its either A6 or A8 (or S6 / S8), based on the touch sensor on doorhandle it's a very recent model. So .... a recent executive class sedan is useless? Even if you are dismantling it for parts, selling door with window is much more valuable and much more likely to sell. He definitely didn't expect it.
The shard can break the glass because the glass is tempered. That means its under pressure from the inside out. The shard of porcelain is so strong in a concentrated area that it nicks the glass, releasing the tension and cracking it. Even swinging a hammer sometimes doesn't break glass but flexes the glass enough to release the energy internally.
see this answered helped me. cus my friend had a junker car he was donating to pick an pull and we were drunk and he pulled out a baseball bat and started showing how he couldn't break the driver or passenger windows, the back window caved like nothing, and the windshield was already shattered from the accident, but anyway, he gave me a go at it, and I swung so hard I hurt my wrist really bad cus I was surprised the first swing didn't do it, so I really didn't hold back on the second and third, then I had to quit cus it was shockingly strong! ty for explaining why this worked.
Tempered glass is made by quickly cooling the molten glass so that the outer surface becomes harder than the inner layers. This makes it stronger than annealed glass, but the compressive stress on the surface leaves the glass’s center in tension. So once you can surpass the surface tension, the whole thing shatters…😊
The older homie used to walk around with a foot of finishing line and piece of spark plug at the end and flick it at your window 😂 that's some old school shit
Also known as a Chinese glass breaker it's a piece of porcelain with a hole drilled in it with a little string you spin around your finger and hit a window been around for many many years

@@snootdingo9365 How hard is it to try and be a smartass, but still come up short and remain a dumbass? There are window repairs. Usually they're even covered by your insurance. Do you think they replace your whole windshield for a rock chip? They repair it if it's under a certain size.

Still do. There are videos online showing thieves (often in San Francisco) who glue a fragment to the palm of a glove that way they can just shove their hand toward the window, it busts, they reach in & unlock the car all in one fluid motion.
@@tj9382 In this video at 14:25 it shows a guy doing it and explains the piece of ceramic on his glove. Yes for the smaller corner window he uses a glass breaker, but for the bigger window you can see him just break it with his hand. czcams.com/video/iWeu2dxHRDg/video.html
I did not know this; porcelain is made from a mix of kaolin and petunse. Kaolin, also known as China clay, is a soft, silicate mineral that gives porcelain its plasticity and pure white color. This is combined with feldspar and quartz - essential minerals which give porcelain its characteristic translucency and strength.
when I was a stupid teenager buddy of mine worked at a donut shop. another freind got his licence. we were driving around and freind who worked at the donut shop started lobbing day old muffins at things. he threw one at a parked pickup and it smashed the back glass. if I found my window had been smashed by a muffin I would have a wtf moment. dude is a pilot in the air force now
This is super important, my dad told me about this just incase I'm in a car that's under water. You just have to pop the hood, take the leads off the plugs, take the spark plug out (remember don't take them all out of your engine because you'll need the others later) break the plug on a nice sized rock (because it's hard to break on the bottom of a riverbed) it's hard also because like moving under water is like slow Mo n stuff. Then smash the window and get out asap because you'll be getting out of breath soon. That's why I always keep a sparkplug socket in my glove box 🎉
So when your trapped in your car under water you would just have to get out of your car, pop your hood, get the spark plug, get back in your car that’s under water break the window to get back out and then remember to not take all the spark plugs cuz you’ll need them to drive again. Lol you burnt out
A small piece of gravel will do the same, thieves used to keep a piece in there pocket if the police checked they probably wouldn't even see it and if they did they wouldnt know what it was for.
Back in 11th grade I found a piece of a spark plug in auto shop. While walking to my next class I decided to flick it at a cafeteria window and well, you know what happened. Literally an hour later the cops showed up with the k9’s and busted me for weed in my locker. Karma IS a bitch.
Just an intact spark plug held in your hand like a dagger should work. Hold it with the wire end hitting the window first. I think it's all about a bunch of impact force on a small spot.
Unfortunately 35yrs ago we were doing this as kids. What we did was attached the porcelain piece to a long broken elastic band. Then we walked by car and snapped it and kept walking. We were bad. I blame the internet for that one. At that time the internet just started. There was maybe 6 website and one of them was how to make tennis ball bombs and do the sparkplug window thing. Yes we did do some tennis ball bombs as well. I'm still hoping my karma gets cleared up one day.
The physics of why this happens is because the sharp edges/corners of the porcelain exert all the force(F= MA) on the window into a very small area. Like shooting a nailgun
@@kacperk2201 it's porcelain, which is a ceramic. But not all ceramics are porcelain. That's part of the answer. Porcelain rods are good for sharpening knives, but not all ceramic can be used this way
When cutting glass for windows you always sand the edges with emory paper. If you dont the micro fine imperfections can cause the glass to crack/fracture. Any pressure or thermal change can set it off. Any sharp point applied to glass will do the same, especially if rapid percusive impact.
Because car windows are tempered glass, meaning the surface is under compression, the slightest chip will cause a cascading failure. This doesn't work on windshields because they are layered.
I had a biker friend that kept a little pouch of broken bits of spark plug ceramic. If anyone in a larger vehicle ever did anything particularly stupid around him on the road, especially if it put him or hos riding buddies in danger, he'd surreptitiously (or NOT so surreptitiously, if he was really pissed) fling a bit at one of their windows.
As a 30yr career cop what went on with this stuff is they would bust up plugs, sinks, commodes, etc. into small pieces then use a handful to do smash and grabs on cars and also store front windows.. It definitely works..
I operate heavy equipment and one day at lunch while I was loading a debris box with an excavator a hispanic guy told me when he was 13 he and his friends were trying to get into a street gang in L.A. and they would go to a gas station and use the restroom and steal the toilet tank lid and then shatter it and go through nicer neighborhoods with pieces of porcelain and break into every car that had anything of value they could steal and turn it in at the end of the night to a guy and he would give them a candy bar and a soda. Stereos, amps, clothing, tools, cassettes, etc. This was in 1992 or so, so he was doing it in the mid 1980's. He said that the main guy would trade with a guy who sold stuff at a flea market in San Diego and the guy in San Diego would give stuff to sell in L.A.. He and his group of hoodlums got caught and spent some time in kid jail and he actually straightened up and was working a union job as a laborer. He said anything porcelain worked as you mentioned...even broken floor tile, just took a tiny piece.
I saw a Documentary recently... And the criminals actually made gloves that have a piece of porcelain sewn into the glove so they can Smash and Grab even Faster. They Just punch the window out and grab. 😱🤦🤷
Once knew a career criminal who told me this was possible 😂 I thought he ment throw the whole sparkplug 😂😂😂 that life had to be a rough one to even learn that shit lol
Some people are saying with the newest model cars none of these things are working on the side windows not even the device you can buy that also breaks glass . It would be nice if somebody can make a vid about that to show if it's true or not .
It's truly amazing when you've seen a 6.4 245 lb person having to strike a window several times to break the window and their hand! The porcelain has alergic reation to the tempered glass!
It’s actually very strong, I should have thrown rocks at it first to prove that but if this video gets enough views I will do just that to prove it. I’ve needed to break a side glass window before and it was very difficult actually
Tempered glass is only weak on the edges you throw so much at the center of it with out breaking look at test lab videos they shoot 2 by 4s at 120 mph and test glass and etc I’ve been doing commercial glass work for almost 7 years now
A friend of mine discovered this when we were kids back in the 80’s . We discovered you can use a very small piece and gently toss it so it grazes the glass, broke it every time!! It’s amazing something so small can shatter a window.
@@High_Bread T Fries is correct tho (besides he still called it porcelain), its not about the "sharp" its about the density of alumina, this is the same reason why it is used in ballistic armour. Its function in armour is to break apart the bullet just as it can break glass. The bits inside armour aren't sharp they are flat faced.
@@derekoverhage9180 windshield is bad move, its one of the tougher windows esp with the angle Driver or passenger windows are the go to. And pro tip- you should carry window punch and seatbelt cutter in vehicle.
@@jonnyM_007 For real. Even those passenger windows are tough as hell. Had to break one before I don't think there's any way I coulda kicked it out. Unless I had cleats on.
we used a small bit of the white spark plug back in the 80s/90s to get entry to a car we were 'borrowing'. That tricks as old as spark plugs and safety glass.
From a retired thief: this definitely works. We would tie some in the corner of a plastic bag and whip it around like a mid evil slingshot. That was back in '98, before the Tube.
no it wont.thats not porcelain, that's ceramic.i have throw peice of a toilet at a car window and it won't break it.a porcelain doll will not go through a window. diamonds work too.a diamond is #1 hardness:ceramic#2
Also good fun is to shatter glass with the oil dipstick. It has to be flat and not have any of the little twists some makes use. If you get a good whip at the glass is blows out in a stunning way.
The smallest piece will spiderweb a car window and you don't have to throw it hard. We was told by our old heads back in the late 80's early 90's. It works great
When i was a kid i use to use this trick to get radios its very quiet especially if the window is tinted also a flathead in the side of the window works but alot louder
@@drkoko9604 ive been told that it 100% works for years, especially on a cold or icy window. But the jump makes me suspicious, even though he showed there eas noone in the backseat.

“Ah… look at that..” (shit, it does work)
F@*k.. now all the kids watching will try this out, just to see if it will work..
I just smile at the window like Austin powers and it shatters 💀
"Yeap" in my Hank Hill voice
I bet this guy had a fight with the next door neighbour and decided to make an educational video. 😂
😂
😂
That “ ah look at that” was him dying inside
In the end you better say "let's get out of here, until owner appeared"
It's truly amazing when you've seen a 6.4
245 lb person having to strike a window several times to break the window and their hand! The porcelain has alergic reation to the tempered glass!
Next this guy will debunk whether water actually hydrates you
No it doesn’t unless it contains electrolytes
@@stringbender3 exactly! Most people dont realize this. Theyre like why would i buy this brand of water, it has salt in it.
Only radiator water out your car like only porcelain from spark plugs 😂🙈
So then explain how it works? Why porcelain?
@@theoriginalmonstermaker very sharp edge focused on one point on the glass with force , that's all
Anything tempered will break tempered glass. With a slight tap
It’s actually very strong, I should have thrown rocks at it first to prove that but if this video gets enough views I will do just that to prove it. I’ve needed to break a side glass window before and it was very difficult actually
Tempered glass is only weak on the edges you throw so much at the center of it with out breaking look at test lab videos they shoot 2 by 4s at 120 mph and test glass and etc I’ve been doing commercial glass work for almost 7 years now
@@tylerosborne4338 🤦🏾♂️ no
@@tylerosborne4338 I can use anything tempered to LIGHTLY tap the glass ANYWHERE and it will break.
@@FiloYappins not florida glass 😂 idk what your talking about I’ve broken plenty of pieces hitting them on the corners not in the middle
A friend of mine discovered this when we were kids back in the 80’s . We discovered you can use a very small piece and gently toss it so it grazes the glass, broke it every time!! It’s amazing something so small can shatter a window.
Bro probably found some random car in a parking lot XD
Reason porcelain breaks windows is cause when broken they have very very little jagged edges, it becomes like a spiked ball basically
Sparkplugs have a particular type of ceramic (not porcelain) , its called alumina. Same thing is used in ceramic ballistic armour.
@@eugenemurray2708 u right , forgot the real name for it
No. It's because porcelain is harder than glass
@@tfries1607 yea but u can say that about a rock too. If u lightly lob a piece of spark plug the window will break
@@High_Bread T Fries is correct tho (besides he still called it porcelain), its not about the "sharp" its about the density of alumina, this is the same reason why it is used in ballistic armour. Its function in armour is to break apart the bullet just as it can break glass. The bits inside armour aren't sharp they are flat faced.
Remember to keep a spare spark plug and hammer on you at all times in case you end up in the water
Male end of the seatbelt works just fine and it's always with you.
I just keep two hammers in the back but shit im gonna do this
@@derekoverhage9180 windshield is bad move, its one of the tougher windows esp with the angle
Driver or passenger windows are the go to. And pro tip- you should carry window punch and seatbelt cutter in vehicle.
@@jonnyM_007 For real. Even those passenger windows are tough as hell. Had to break one before I don't think there's any way I coulda kicked it out. Unless I had cleats on.
@@troycarothers8254 Lmao no, Too small, plus you have to fight the tension of the belt trying to retract.
Spring loaded pin punch does the same. Lots o fun when I worked at the junk yard.
They called this a ninja rock in the 80s-90s.
He sounded like he really wasn’t expecting that window to shatter lol
I wasn't expecting it either. I thought you needed the tungsten core or something magic like that.
Bullshit
I wasn’t either 😂
He sounded like his neighbor would be disappointed in what he did.
@@user-bg2oi4bz3pniiiiiiice
If you take the porcelain off properly in a round piece, you just tie a string thru it and give it a quick whip at the glass...and it's reusable lol
we used a small bit of the white spark plug back in the 80s/90s to get entry to a car we were 'borrowing'. That tricks as old as spark plugs and safety glass.
That's a traffic man's best friend😅 old timers used to keep this in their pockets for errant vehicles and people who drove too fast in the work zone
Dude just second guessed his choice to doubt weather it would work or not.
From a retired thief: this definitely works. We would tie some in the corner of a plastic bag and whip it around like a mid evil slingshot. That was back in '98, before the Tube.
Of course it works buddy just proves it lol how is this still a thing, at this point everyone should know this lol
Was doing this at 13 back in 1992
We did it by hand or slingshot but i got alot of car speakers in my younger day
@@MrTattoojosh we did it in bag so we could make one and it would last all night. Licks on licks on licks
*medieval. You have the literal wealth of concentrated human knowledge at your fingertips, act like it.
Fact: not just porcelain from spark plugs works…all porcelain will do the trick. Because porcelain is porcelain.
no it wont.thats not porcelain, that's ceramic.i have throw peice of a toilet at a car window and it won't break it.a porcelain doll will not go through a window. diamonds work too.a diamond is #1 hardness:ceramic#2
yeah, but what other porcelain to you have in your car?
@@ktothetothe "looks around, rips veneer out" 😂
my teeth are porcelain how will it break tempered glass
@@YoungDeso that's a bit extreme. just have someone throw your head at the window.
Also good fun is to shatter glass with the oil dipstick. It has to be flat and not have any of the little twists some makes use. If you get a good whip at the glass is blows out in a stunning way.
That hard breathing at the end my man now knows he fd up .
White pebble stones work as well, automatic hole punch is usually the favorite
The smallest piece will spiderweb a car window and you don't have to throw it hard. We was told by our old heads back in the late 80's early 90's. It works great
"We was told"
@@fjb4932 I plead the fifth on what we did with that information 😂
When i was a kid i use to use this trick to get radios its very quiet especially if the window is tinted also a flathead in the side of the window works but alot louder
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to call safelite"
It’s real. Friends father owned a junk yard and when we were kids we used to do this to all the windows. He was pissed 😂
That's impossible, how can that thing break windows , this gotta be a prank , no way , but I will research just in case
@@drkoko9604 ive been told that it 100% works for years, especially on a cold or icy window. But the jump makes me suspicious, even though he showed there eas noone in the backseat.
@@Gottiline_Ace its fake slow thevideo down you can see the shadow of the rock he threw in the windows right before impact
@@npm89 spark plug ceramic busts tempered glass. That is a scientific fact. So why would he fake it? People have been using that method for years to burglarize vehicles.
That little porcelain peice and I were besties back in my breaking into car days. You're a youngster bud
Quietly too . I used to know dudes back in the day that carried a little ring of porcelain from a spark plug on a necklace. It was at the height of car stereo days in the 90’s .
"Mom! I owe you a window! Put it on my bill!"
Owner of the car seeing this video: 👁️👄👁️

@@Avery_themommy it’s a junkyard you can tell by the car being dirty af
