The Glass Age, Part 2: Strong, Durable Glass

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.

[@Rinyotsu]

The question on everyone's mind, what about a windshield of two panes of gorilla glass glued with resin?

[@1Jamesinator]

+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]

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.

[@devanfarrell16]

+Rinyotsu To to add a minor detail to what he said. If it is chipped with a regular exterior windshield you can also repair it with resin. Good as new.

[@kbolduc2672]

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]

+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.)

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.

I would guess cost and how the material absorbs and distributes the energy. It's funny how they didn't have him hit the windshield with the sledgehammer. I think the videos are pretty clever marketing tools.

[@bryansage4947]

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.

They have enough integrity to only do a video if they support the science.

[@silvorz]

lostkeyys: couldn't have out it better myself! as a fan of both Mythbusters and ALL science, I'm happy to see Adam and Jamie getting behind something they trust and feel secure in doing so.

[@DreamingConcepts]

What are these puppets doing here?

[@prismglider5922]

+Daniel Bundrick Not The BEEEEES!!

[@jedics1]

I like these guys much more in this format than myth busters.

[@lirm0brirn465]

u like ads...

[@dvdsolomon]

What format? Adam rambling non stop? Jamie talking only in questions as if he's a kid in a cheap tv commercial? Or the way they look like they not caring about anything and not enthusiastic?

[@TheStarBlack]

What? Scripted to within an inch of their life?!

[@glass8718]

gueness book of world records - most intriguing commercial advertisement, i came back for part 2, well done corning, well done

[@shemp308]

I loved watching these two together. They just did well together.

[@AndreBuxey]

People need to get paid...... i enjoyed the video...

[@ESPFTW]

I know it is an advertisement, but it was more enjoyable than most

[@callowaymotorcompany]

They get paid millions of dollars doing mythbusters.

[@cookycamy101]

callowaymotorcompany Some of the few who actually deserve it

[@KJO1993]

Heres a thought; if you drove your car into a lake and you had windows made of this glass you would be forced to wait for the car to full with water until you could escape by opening the door since you cant break the glass very easily. That does happen often enough for companies to make special tools used to break out windows in an emergancy, so corning needs to develope a tool to shatter this super strong glass for the rare but possible danger.

[@imchris5000]

KJO1993 its actually a very rare situation to end up in a car underwaterthe majority of people will never experience that

[@AAAAAMMM]

There is a tool. You can buy one.

[@onagda]

KJO1993 You'd have to wait for the car to fill most of the time anyways, because you won't be able to open a door because of the pressure. You'd have to break the glass either way, and I'm sure that if this was implemented it would only be on the windshield and not on the other windows.

[@imchris5000]

onagda you cant break through a windshield anyway you can shatter it but it will still be together windshields are designed to not let things fly through them

[@ShakeyWalls]

APPRECIATED YOUR PROFESSIONALISM, YOUR ON CAMERA AT EASE IS QUITE VISIBLE.... THANKS GUYS FOR THE IN DEPTH VIEW OF GLASS ETC..... BLESS YOU GUYS....

[@francissereva9091]

I'm glad to have spent my childhood being educated by these guys!

[@oM477o]

Why didn't they also take the sledge hammer to the gorilla glass? I think it might have something to do with why it isn't in production yet. They shouldn't have demoed the sledge hammer if they were not going to do a side by side comparison

[@m4r1o148]

I think they just used the sledgehammer to show that the glass stays together after being broken.

[@stgo.s.4067]

Is just because a human will never do 2 exact hits. So, thats is not a scientist method, because science need to compare under the exact same condition to validate something. Thats why they use a robotic gun.

[@smmshtnsjikdmmsbvshujrn]

+Stgo. S. It's also a marketing ploy, they introduce the image of the totally shattered windshield prior to the introduction of their own "scientific" tests.

[@PkmnMstr10]

Someone missed that lesson on the Scientific Method in grade school...

[@shadid516]

They did not use the hammer on gorilla glass because you can test at home how strong the impact of a hammer is while no one has a compressed air cannon to test how strong it actually is. Essentially they are twisting the facts without actually twissting them, just for the sake of the commercial

[@fisherguy425]

Ive been watching myth busters so long I remember when adams hair was red

[@canofworms6730]

I've never been so happy to just sit down and watch an ad about glass. I think this sort of marketing is actually working

[@fyrlytdrivinglights6772]

What a beautifully crafted piece right through to the #.

[@endergames9793]

4:27 Mr.Stark I don't feel so good

[@IRAMightyPirate]

Can Jamie and Adam sell me everything? I would buy so many more things.

[@glynharper]

This is fantastic. I wish all adverts were like this!!

[@burtonwhitehead4345]

I've seen a Prince Rupert drop, also known as a Dutch Tear, implode once before but never in slow motion. Absolutely incredible.

[@Gamer1st1]

There’s a drawback to thinner windshield glass. Noisier car interiors. They found this out in the 90s when they were trimming every possible amount of weight from every car part.

[@MohamedHassan-ni6un]

Not if we switch to electric cars 👊🏾

[@06goatm6]

fast forward to 2019 and The Ford GT comes with a Gorilla Glass windshield from the factory. and you can buy aftermarket GG windshields for your Jeep JK Wrangler and F-150 pickups.

[@dmcgreg]

Yep. After replacing 4 on my Jeep, I've switched. The GG replacement has taken a few cringe-worthy rock shots without issue, so far so good.

[@bobbycoates5994]

i just found out savage builds is coming june 14th 2019 cant wait nice work i hope to see both of you on the show and i hope to see pop ins of the rest of the cast i no all of them have thar own thing going on

[@Lolbama2012]

Adam is so wholesome, I just wanna hug him. He's so adorable.
