The Glass Age, Part 2: Strong, Durable Glass
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- 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.
One of the most impressive pieces of marketing I've seen in a while
I agree. Brilliant.
I agree, I love these guys they can make almost anything fun
Techo536 I dunno I feel the dialogue was kind of awkward.
yea and the weirdest part is that those two people does NOT get along in real life.
oh yeah.. Jamey fucking hates adam.
I love the disclaimer at the end..."Please do not attempt to perform any of the demonstrations yourself." Good thing I read that...I was just about to go outside and shoot my windscreen with a bazooka-powered ball bearing.
Unfortunately I didn't read the disclaimer, now I have a hole in my windshield, dang it!
See Ben7 for reason.
I was walking on a glass bridge and I dropped my phone with made out of titanium and platinum gorilla glass and guess what
The bridge broke
Nah just joking 😂😂
+Askejm: you don't happen to own a nokia do you?
I do have a nokia 3310
People in glass houses can now throw rocks.
Haha
Now the rocks will bounce off and hit them.
😂😂
Haha nice one
genius! hahah!
this is brilliant. this is the first time i ever watched 10 minute commercial and after realizing it...i willingly clicked the sequel. (Vader voice) Impressive...most impressive.
I feel you...
I did too🤫
Sometimes the product really is just that awesome.
Same!
@Blah Blahsen Good ... it would be unfortunate if I had to ... destroy you.
They should've gone full Mythbusters and seen how fast the ball bearing had to go to get through the gorrilla glass windscreen.
+BradTheThird And then shoot it with a .44 magnum round, just for fun
+Pul5ar And blow it up in the end, for good measures.
+Ivo Glasius Using at least 1kg of c4.
+BradTheThird If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing it
+BradTheThird I still want to see the sledge hammer
Did you guys just make me watch a 20 minute infomercial?! Well played.
Dennis W lol yep. But I dont think Jamie got paid as much, Since he does not agree with us being in a Glass Age.
:D
Well me neither. If anything characterizes our age as much as stone tools used to, it's without a doubt the microprocessor, which is silicon alright, but, scientifically speaking, explicitly not glass, because microchips are crystals :)
Software is making its mark too.
Dennis W Yeah I realized it halfway through the first episode but it was just so well done because mythbusters.
Icefire 817
I think anyone could have done this. In fact I can name a few people off UA-cam that would have done a much better job and maybe even do it in real time.
Dont get me wrong though, I actually enjoyed these 2 videos.
I just now realized, after watching both parts, that this is from 2014
2019 update?!?
Yeah, I want to know if I can get a super light windshield by now myself lol been looking for ways to reduce my cars weight other than taking seats out
I feel like this was all just an advertisement
ikr
@@tyroneboundy5154 It was. I'm looking for another advertisement.
@@Postal268 did you try removing the breaks? Took off a few pounds for me.
My Nokia 3210 never broke, never got scratched, never ran out of power and never froze.
What a beast.
u picked the right guys to advertise and educate about the advances of glass thru corning amazing. great job
agreed
Nice to see the company being honest about the limits on their product.
Imagine the takes that didn't get used because Jamie was even less enthusiastic.
That is what make this video great. Adam trying so hard to shill and do his line with enthusiasm and Jamie to participate as little as possible.
In fairness, that's pretty much Jamie's schtick.
I want
That's how the video was designed, genius
Possible. Its hard to imagine him less enthusiastic.
But I would have like it more if it were Penn and Tellor. Far better dynamic. I dont like the tension feeling that Jamie is holding off punching him and wanting to storm off. Hes got this "I'm so entitled and better than everyone" aura. He adds nothing to this.
It's cool coming back to watch this in 2019. The advances that they've made in just a few years after this presentation are vast.
glassed.
Where can the latest advancements in glass be read about/seen? I'm curious about the innovation over/during the last 3 years.
Getting the OG Mythbusters to promote your company is a brilliant idea. Lucky for you they are retired from the show or they'd soon be making an episode devoted to breaking your special glass.
Honestly 👀 I’d watch that
@@toobin8r lol who wouldn't
They actually said it wasn't "unbreakable" but clearly way stronger than normal glass tho..
Kinda want a part 3 now
IKR? . . what a marketing genius to get these two guys. . .its like I am actually asking to watch a commercial for Corning. . And I love it!!! . . cant say the same for most marketing ideas :) . . peace, Eric
yes, I voluntarily clicked this part 2 video.. well done Corning, well done..
but since it's now been almost 5 years, where's my gorilla glass windshield..?!
Available as an option on new Jeep Wranglers
These guys are just big characters. Must have been difficult to get them in the same room again, but this is magnificent. Hope there is more, Adam and Jamie and Mythbusters were the best thing that has happened to TV since.. well, sliced bread.
From what I understand they get along decently
Not sliced bread, perhaps Gomer Pyle, USMC.
Well there was the Carl Sagan science series, MASH, West Wing, Firefly, Richard Attenborough nature films...
People blow it out of proportion, they didnt hate each other, worked well as coworkers, but just werent friends because they didnt go on same wavelengths. This doesnt mean they hated each other, they did sometimes found each other mildly annoying, but more often than not gave each other good ideas.
I feel like Jamie and Adam would have had more interesting things to say about a prince Rupert's drop if they weren't reading from a script.
Nick Stone ?
@@nick_stein Why that aggression? It seemed really out of nowhere. Would you like to share what is really bothering you, why are you really angry?
@@LeonardGreenpaw I think he has mommy issues.
@@frankwoolsey9591 Males repressing emotions often stem from overly strict father figures. His father likely always told him "No one cares about your feelings" when he was crying as a child. And furthermore, I would say it is also likely that he had an absent or silent mother, so he never had a softer hand.
But this is only a possibility since he never told us his thoughts
I bet they would have had more interesting things to say about a prince Albert
The question on everyone's mind, what about a windshield of two panes of gorilla glass glued with resin?
+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.
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.
+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.
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.
+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.)
It's great to see the two of you working together and for a fine piece of marketing for Corning. The Eggman and The Walrus in top form.
Not hitting the gorilla windshield with the sledge makes me think you are trying to hide a weakness of this glass.
What I thought as well
It's more like a sledge hammer will just RIP through both kinds as easily
well yeah, the sledgehammer will obviously go right through a sheet of gorilla glass that thin
...Yea... I was a little ehhhh on that one.
They seem to have no provider for free sledgehammers. They wouldn't risk their own sledgehammer on gorilla glass.
I confidently did the ball drop test with a hammer on my new phone... I regret to announce that apparently my phone does not have Gorilla glass :[
+kylefer Aw. I hope your phone forgives you.
I hope you're joking..
+kylefer Were you using the phone at the time?
+kylefer Doh!
I learned the Iphone IS for peasants.
I didn't pay much attention to the video (I was hyper-meme'ing on Reddit (only stage 3 super geniuses are able to do this safely)), but I'm sure the walrus raised some excellent points. _tips fedora_

Holy cow! Releasing the pressure in the Prince Rupert was amazing!
Can't tell you thankful I'm that you guys managed to reunite these two for another fun and educational endeavor.
well my 1998 nokia would break the ball if i'd drop it on the nokia.

@@Baitrix1 You necroposted this. The original comment is 2 years old, it's dead.
@@Baitrix1 Well, don't. It can be annoying :)
@@Baitrix1 r/wooosh
After all these years of watching you two I still enjoyed the chemistry between you as always great watching and still learning
best ad ever, demonstrated the product in a real manner that didnt make it out to seem flawless,its also awesome as a consumer to understand what goes into the product so we dont assume it is indestructible. plus having two awesome personalities host doesnt hurt either. so dear corning please continue to use this format it works incredibly well while being super informative wich if it does not sell product you may atleast inspire people to want to research and support your own efforts.( few years late but oh well)
Why not mount 2 layers of gorilla glass? You can call it Godzilla glass!
Copyright
10 layers with plastic between each one, and would stop a bullet.
@Isaac Kennedy your theory is more then likely true, but i wouldnt be certain
No!
Twice as expensive, for starters. Plus, while small dings in a normal outer glass layer can still be fixed, that may not be true of Gorilla Glass. "Doesn't break often, but when it does it costs you $2500" is not a strong selling point.
8:17
*THAT’S A LOTTA DAMAGE*
XD
p6 exe dude I was tryna see if someone else was here from 2018
Ayyy it's 2019 that's a dead meme
It’s Friday btw
New eyeballs are expensive.
Why not use two layers of gorilla glass for the windshield? Does the gorilla glass have some property that doesn't work well outside? Seems like it'd make more sense and save more weight if it was on the inside too
***** Maybe it would be too wobbly? Or lose too much sound isolation?
might smear with water/oil on the surface when using wiper blades.
not seeing out of a car isn't a great idea...
Jacob Koehler They said the gorilla glass is too strong for that.. Though there are seat belts and other safety bags, the regulations do require "your head is able to go into the window" for certain distance if accidents happen...
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.
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.
Jamie: "Good enough for me, when do I start shooting?!"
Adam gets the Grammy for script reading in a believable way. Jamie is clearly reading like a robot. lol.
JAKE W JONES That’s their appeal. The odd coupleness.
I believe you mean the Oscar. Grammy awards are for music
Cheezy Dartzzz let the man have his Grammy
I just watched an ad to watch an ad
Adception.
i have addblock and still watched an ad -.-
Stop being a bitch
I have used this method of advertising to drive sales and investment into projects before.
@@AEON. no where does it say the creation of gorilla glass is inexpensive.
That slomo shot was just beautiful.
Really, I love these videos, mostly, because I understand "the science" behind what you demonstrate, and how much effort you have to put into putting on a good show.
Trail, after trial, after trial, rife with error.
For one good demonstration.
Bravo.
You can tell Jamie did NOT want to be there.
I highly doubt that. Corning glass paid jaime a such a big check, that he can wear a new beret every single day. God bless his soul.
My guess is that he wasn't to pleased about being given all the "student" lines while Adam got all the "teacher" lines.
That's his schtick - straight man to Adam's antics.
terrible what you have to do for money .... i felt sorry for the guy, but his demeanor has always been a little dour
@@deansmith4752 Jamie is believed to be on the autism spectrum.
please do more of these videos adam and jamie i love learning this stuff from you guys
lol Jamie really does have the charisma of a rock. Thankfully he has Adam. Perfect team.
they hate each other though
@@Michael-tb9db That "don't touch me" at the end? For reals.
@@Michael-tb9db they don't hate each other, they're just not buddies.
What makes you think it's mutual? Jamie doesn't care for adam being more entertaining that he is.
I think the "Yin and Yang" character was intentional (it was quite entertaining during Mythbusters times) - it's sort of like "a good and a bad cop". =)
Great video Corning! It was smart getting Adam and Jamie to present. We use your products all the time as fill for fabric walls, custom commercial sound abatement, and we run your fiber from time to time too! Incredible company.
Sounds like the music was made with some kind of glass instrument too. Awesome, I enjoyed both parts of this infommercial.
Don't touch me. What a great working relationship ship they had.
it was a joke, Jamie was always like that, probably in the script.
He did have a tiny smirk after that
They hate each other in real life
Kaidrian Snowden they didn't really hate each other they just didn't like each other as friends and had different opinions on how to do things. That's why Mythbusters was so good
@@Naurlmak not really hate, just not friends...
i was tricked into waching a comercial
Their not selling you anything though
+Me Soy yo they are just showing some innovations by corning that we wouldn't of really have known as much about before
mctrollify got to admit, if you get the mythbusters guys to advertise for you, you win
I mean the main two guys not that one McDonald's commercial with the one guy from that group of three
Hey this is the coolest glass advertisement I've ever seen if that's the case
Martin Carter Woooosh
It’s a treat seeing these two back together.
This is awesome, Great Job Adam, Jamie, and Corning. Keep up the great work.
CHEATED where's the sledgehammer on the corning glass?
The Sledgehammer, as used in the video, would not be able to be a consistent test. And is not a terribly likely incident when compared to the simulated rock.
Derek Hand Of course, but don't you just want to see Jamie pound on the glass anyway! :)
Derek Hand You don't know his girlfriend.. :D
Notice how the ball bearing bounced off Windshield B wit ha lot more force... Yeah, imagine a sledgehammer doing that and flying out of Jamie's hands... Not a good idea
water foker The sledgehammer was to remind us of what a broken windshield looks like.
Seriously, we need more of these videos, This is awesome!
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've never been so happy to just sit down and watch an ad about glass. I think this sort of marketing is actually working
They get paid and I get to see my two favorite minds. I'm Happy as little kid on Christmas :)
Took me 2 and a half minutes into part 2 to realize this was a commercial.
we want a 2019 comparison. what has changed since gorilla glass 4
Nothing
@@alexwhitton1 Not true; they modified the number.
It's harder, better, faster, stronger.
@@mrsnowbox what? Faster? Dude are you all right?
@@mrsnowbox ... and it attracts the girls better plus plants start growing faster under it.
Man I miss the hell outta you guys. I watched EVERY SINGLE EPS and loved it. To bad that the series ended.
the walrus is strong in this one
Genghis Khan lol
It's an obvious ad but knowing Adam and Jamie, they wouldn't have done anything to skew the results and they actually like the product.
As a lab researcher, we owe everything to Corning. So much advancement has been made inside Corning glassware.

i kind of wish they would do more shows like this when myth buster ends/ended not sure if it has at this point.
that is a promotional video from corning incorporated (the glass manufacturer) not a tested, discovery channel or mythbusters channel.
so if you'll pay them, they would make more videos...
really? then why do they run a popular youtube channel together?
i've actually only just found out about their channel recently, though from what i've seen they do small building kits, go to conventions, talk about stuff they like, and try out new things. though they don't test things as they do here or do small myths, that's what i was referring to.
It's just an ad in the end but science company ads always make the interesting, informative ones.
To be fair, it's a lot easier to make a modern materials science product seem cool than some random everyday stuff. It's because it's already cool.
... Kudos to the people who came up with that marketing idea. Really outstanding☺...
Of course Jamie's as trigger happy as ever XD

Legend has it that those phones are still at 50%.
And together with gorilla glass and Nokia structure they will take over the world- in a good way XD
I still want to see him use the hammer on the second one.
As a materials engineer---
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.
Fishinacup246 and who would drive with a giant crack in their windshield?
You'd have the usual UA-cam jackass trolls whining about how Jamie deliberately used less force on the second windshield, yadda yadda yammer yammer. (We've already got them blathering in the comments.) That's why they switched to controlled experiments.
Looking at UA-cam videos, almost every driver in Russia.
@@thejupitergod5687 sometimes you just have to, especially after a hail storm or a lawnmower throwing a rock out into cars... it happens, and the latter can be deadly if the rock is big enough
At 9:30 (comparative slo-mo) you can see that the ball bounces back from the gorilla glass with higher velocity - it still has more energy in it. The ball that hit the soda glass rebounds slowly because it lost more energy damaging the glass. Nice.
This is how you do commercials
Music is just great for this type of video. Wasn't bored since 1st part :D
So when I first watched this I thought nothing of it.
I now own an iPhone 11 Pro, and I’ve had it for several years without so much as a scratch.
I used to keep two phones in the same pocket, but I had to stop because the glass from my iPhone 11 was carving glass out of my iPhone 8.
I am so impressed with this. This video came out years before I actually notice any developments from such technology.
Who else misses Mythbusters??
I wonder if it would make tough see through sail yacht hull?
People need to get paid...... i enjoyed the video...
I know it is an advertisement, but it was more enjoyable than most
They get paid millions of dollars doing mythbusters.
callowaymotorcompany Some of the few who actually deserve it
*Thank Apple for contacting Corning and getting it for first iPhone and every iPhone ever since.*
Couldn't have been done by anyone better than these two. Fantastic video. Part three soon?
Presented by Corning or by Mythbusters?
+Giannis Dravis A vicious swarm of technologically enhanced bees.
+Giannis Dravis You could always look at the title of the UA-cam channel.
That said, I find it hard to believe that Adam and Jamie are by any means poor and in need of money, to the point where they would jeopardize their scientific reputations by doing a "bullshit" video. They have enough integrity to only do a video if they support the science.
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.
What are these puppets doing here?
+Daniel Bundrick Not The BEEEEES!!
I like these guys much more in this format than myth busters.
u like ads...
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?
What? Scripted to within an inch of their life?!
Your experiments are truly amazing, I am so confused as to why a day made of glass 1 and 2 haven't become every day life yet!
gueness book of world records - most intriguing commercial advertisement, i came back for part 2, well done corning, well done
why not make both layers of the windshield out of gorilla glass?
2017 Ford ft windshield is gorilla glass
It absorbs the shock more effectively
Like they said in the first video, the downside of the gorilla glass is that if it does break it shatters the entire piece.
BlackHat but if you see in shooting test, the glass is still broken but stays mostly intact
Andrew Mayo The only thing that broke in the shooting test was the normal glass. If the gorilla glass was to break it would all shatter. I think the normal glass is a lot stronger once broken then the broken gorilla glass.
Adam is a freaking man-child, I love him!!!
do you ever watch his UA-cam channel, " Tested " ?. . . really cool channel . . peace, Eric
This comment, though 5 years after the video was made, will probably never be passed on to Jamie and Adam. Hats off to both of you two for doing this video back then when there were comments online claiming you two have issues working together. You both performed professionally. Now to the glass. .. That tech was 5 years ago. Where is it now? There is "ALON", also called Transparent Aluminum. Somewhere I read NASA is thinking about using it for the next ship's viewing windows. Is Corning offering an alternative?
These guys are so fantastic. Thank you.
That moment when you realize you learned about the prince Ruperts drop from Smartereveryday. :)
I like that this is very scientifically done and also honest. When you hear ads, you rarely hear about the weakness of the product, but here it was talked about also with its strength.
I'm making a decree that every ad should follow this standard from now on.
Holy hell, another commercial I got sucked into simply because these guys are doing it. WTF? I now know more about glass than I ever thought I would.. lol
Adam is so wholesome, I just wanna hug him. He's so adorable.
Wish I could watch more videos like this, really cool :)
This is the only way I will buy products. They have to do the commercial and do a scientific explanation of why I should buy it.
Ive been watching myth busters so long I remember when adams hair was red
I'm glad to have spent my childhood being educated by these guys!
For being a marketing video it's remarkably restrained and scientific. These guys are good presenters as well.
8:19 flextape wil fix that in no time!
you actually can't if you have shattered glass in your eyes
@@RudyBoy with the power of flextape anything is possible
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.
KJO1993 its actually a very rare situation to end up in a car underwaterthe majority of people will never experience that
There is a tool. You can buy one.
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.
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
How did I not see this video all these years? Amazing!
Many smartphones still don't have gorilla glass and their screens break/crack at least once.
It's really cool to know why my screen doesn't break so easily anymore I've been worried about the screen scratching and breaking without a screen protector but now I've got a lot more confidence in it
$20 says the entire back screen would have popped if they hit it with a sledge hammer instead of the bearing
of course it would....
Can Jamie and Adam sell me everything? I would buy so many more things.
Wow! Perfectly presented. Interesting and very educative.. and done 5yrs ago.
Jaime's enthusiasm is incredible.
I saw the mythbusters and thought they would explain how glass has become so strong; the manufacturing techniques and physical properties. But no, it's an infomercial for gorilla glass.
That drop of glass (?) looked amazing when it was nipped in the tail.
I loved watching these two together. They just did well together.
Finally and add that I enjoyed watching, even better, this makes me want to know more about Corning!
The best ad of the century (Although without Jamie and Adam it might not be the same and might not be interesting as it is)
Congrats Corning you corner it 👍👍
