How window glass is made

[@wilsonquail736]

I wish they showed better the actual sheets being made

[@superawesomescience911]

seems super complex. amazing they could do this same process hundreds of years ago.

[@BobbTurtle]

They couldn't. This method was invented in the 1950s. Windows used to be made by blowing glass into spheres, cutting it open and flattening it while still hot. The result looked very different than the glass windows we have today.

[@Magma_Bolt]

I didn't know that. That's super interesting, thanks for sharing! :) @@BobbTurtle

Very interesting but this hectic music is totally unnecessary.

The narrator sounds a little bit like Ryan Reynolds 😂

[@daywalker3735]

Crap he does lol

[@austin2d910]

I work at a plant and we make bulletproof resistant units for schools / governments but anyways we get full packs of sheets 144” x 108”. You have to use a 5 ton crane to move the packs

[@xx_naasson_xx]

I can imagine how heavy it gets! I work with acrylic in a sign shop which is lighter and even those sheets are heavy, esp when they're thicker sheets. How thick is bulletproof glass?

[@topastounding8194]

do you use sand and raw materials to create again glass

[@Christina_De_Melo]

Incredible!

[@vikashrai8499]

Very nice sir

[@sharmeanbritton7983]

Where do you locate

[@nyxfred]

Wow that’s insane! Just interesting knowing how things we take for granted are made.

[@lostree1981]

I have NEVER taken glass for granted. For shame...

[@abiamdanso3394]

Do they make good money?

[@RobertoGillyardo]

Is it sand

[@akshay8382]

I run 800TPD.

[@UPBEATFOREVER]

They have robot shrink wrappers😳 us movers have to manually shrink wrap sometimes! And glass made from recycling glass.

[@Joshfman]

Cool

[@mistergreeen]

It is crazy to fathom that they liquefy tin to extrude it into a sheet

[@GlassGenius]

Yes.... it's definitely not the type of bath you would want to a soak in.

[@lostree1981]

Watch Lord Gizmo's video instead. Covers all of this and much more, done properly without the horrible music.

[@King-ci8sk]

Im gonna tell you right now. I use glass from Cardinal every single day. They have defects lmfao

[@kcshikles]

The company I work for buys from Cardinal, and you are correct. I've seen a lot of odd things in their glass.
