Spancrete is manufactured with tension bars through it which do exactly this. If your not familiar, it's used in parking garages or buildings where concrete needs to span distances and hold weight. They actually create an arch (like a small rainbow) so as weight is added to the top it actually gets stronger. Biggest limiting factor is the steel bars holding it together.
While the acid experiment was unsuccessful, the explanations and demonstrations were very helpful. I now know how tempered glass works, thank you Cody!
@@Verrisin Tempered steel is actually more fragile but also harder than non tempered Steel. But steel is still a different material, thus in matter of flexibility and breakability it's on an other chart than glass.

Scott Xerri it is capable of dissolving; human flesh, human bone, ceramic, steel, other metals, GLASS, wood, stone. What you saw here was only a very dilute mixture.
After HF exposure, fluoride ions penetrates human tissue and do all manner of awful things. One splash could potentially kill you if it gets on your skin. The fumes can damage your lungs. The fluoride can displace calcium preferentially and cause your heart to stop. Sometimes it causes persistent pain for years deep inside your body. So there are both immediate hazards (similar to other acids) medium term hazards related to calcium/fluoride balance issues, and long term hazards (chronic pain for the rest of your life).
I've had decent success laser cutting through tempered glass slides. Using fast and light cuts vaporizes a very small layer without introducing too much heat into the rest of the glass.
@@harbl2479 Yeah, the material was about 1mm thick so I used the laser to get most of the way through (which took forever) then I was able to crack it along the seam. It really shoudn't have worked but we weren't complaining.

@@d32th Didn't have any polarized sheets on hand at the time but that would have been really interesting to see the stresses induced by the cutting process! I'll keep that in mind if I ever need to do something similar in the future.
There’s a substantial difference between just simply being smarter than the majority, and being so smart you can make the majority clearly understand things that they normally would not. And, Cody you are that type of smart. Man, you’re awesome!

@@jesseking4815 it still felt rushed man. There wasn't an explanation of what was going on or really anything. It was basically just him putting acid on the glass then coming back twice once to change the acid another to see it was broken. That to me feels rushed. Sure 2 weeks of filming but once he got the footage he rushed to upload the bit he had. Which I appreciate having in the first place but I was trying to give feedback and appreciate the extra work he did.
This is the main problem with tempered glass (similar to what happens with tempered steel but w/o crystalline structure), the tempering process creates an incredibly high amount of microscopic defects such as tiny cracks because of the fast cooling the material received. It greatly increases its tensile strenght but also reduces its tenacity to resist the spread of cracks by a huge amount(which is pretty low already for regular glass), apart from having a lot more of these defects and thus more places for them to spread across the whole volume of the material.
Interesting video Cody, this is how I inadvertently did this: Our car’s reverse mirror suddenly fell off the front window screen. So with two part Araldite and a couple of pieces of tape, I stuck it back on the front prestressed glass. After about 6 months; it again fell off but, this time had taken with it the glass - there was a neat square hole (the exact size of the mirror support bracket), through the screen! Otherwise the screen was perfect :) I suspected that constant thermal cycling between the glass and the Araldite (differing coefficients), had made benign minuscule cracks through the glass - that eventually joined up! If waiting isn’t a problem - this is a neat and safe way of cutting shapes into this type of glass :) Perhaps you can find a method of speeding this up?
@Beamer - Are you saying the hole went all the way through the windshield? That should not happen, because windshields are supposed to be _laminated glass,_ while side windows are tempered glass.
@@YodaWhat Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Yes your absolutely correct and yes - it was the front windshield. I assume the minuscule cracks formed penetrated through the sandwiched film + perhaps the weight of the mirror assembly with the car moving - did the rest? Being a Ford Fiesta, it also probably wasn't the most expensive of glass ;)
It's not thermal cycling. Epoxy has a much lower stiffness than the glass so the thermal mismatch is mostly accommodated by strain in the epoxy. What you saw is caused by the several % shrinkage of the epoxy when it cures. This pulls the surface of the glass into tension around the periphery of the epoxy which causes preexisting microcracks to extend slowly under the combined action of the tensile stress and corrosion of the crack tip by atmospheric moisture leading to delayed failure. This phenomenon is called stress corrosion cracking or subcritical crack propagation. It can be sped up by heat and higher humidity, but no dramatically. Failure of the glass causes a flake of glass to be detached but still attached to the epoxy. This leaves a conchoidal (scallop shaped) pit in the glass. I believe some years ago this was used to make a sort of non-see through glass by completely covering the glass with epoxy so causing these conchoidal fractures all over the glass surface.
@@johnmatthewson6733 Superb explanation. This happened about 30 years ago and has always left me pondering what the mechanism might be - it was such a neat square hole.

@@johnmatthewson6733 - UA-cam's algorithm beat you to it (for me) several days ago with the glue explanation, but showed it being done with old-fashioned _hide glue._ Evidently it works much faster because it shrinks much more.
If you heat the glass the whole thing up then you will take the temper out of the glass and you could drill the glass and then possible re temper it. However a blow torch would only break the glass.
You can do a ton of things to tempered glass. Grind it. Polishing. Sand blasting and craving. Acid etching. Just don't break the surface tension. Been a glazier for over 10 years and done lots to it. The weirdest thing is that tempered will explode for no reason. Just a loud bang and a call to me with a expensive bill.

I don't think that anvil is any significant weight to lift with both arms. Yeah, they are heavy, but an average person should have no issue lifting that anvil. An average male can dead lift around 160lb - 200lb. Someone who is reasonably built (but not massive) should be lifting closer to 300lb and over. This anvil isn't impressive.
@Jack W Google it. I just did and to be honest, I was pretty spot on, well, near enough to most the Web results for average deadlift weight for untrained average male. Remember this was average male and not you specifically.
so glad you put in that explanation first! pretty sure I would not be able to follow what was going on otherwise. You know I also think that this is a great demonstration how not only is chemistry just physics but physics is (okay, mostly) chemistry
as a chemist i have a huge amount of respect for everyone working with HF. i never thought etching will working. its like cutting a rubber band unter tension. it will always snap apart because of tension. there cannot be a rubberband with tension and a whole right through it
They can though like in the middle of it will just make the band easyer to rip as bans are not brittle like glass and have no cracks to propagate and break it
Love the pause at 3:13 when he considers if he messed the explanation up. Then decides that he can salvage it. But he shouldn´t have mentioned the outside contracting since that´s not relevant.
You were OK going through the skin layers because the circumference of the holes were under a residual compressive stress. We know that ceramics are good under compression. As soon as you breached the center layer, the glass was bound to fracture as it did. The center portion of the cross section of tempered glass is under a residual tensile stress, which really means that there is a tremendous amount strain energy stored throughout the cross section. When the second compressive layer on the reverse side dissolved, there was nothing restraining the tensile stress in the center (cross sectionally) of the hole. Failure started somewhere in the center section and blasted outward. I have always wondered what this experiment would look like. Thanks Cody! 👍
Love your videos Cody, I know you’ve had a hard year but your looking like your old self and throwing out the videos. I really hope you have the best 2020 ever. You deserve it.

I worked at a glass shop that installed heavy glass doors and enclosures (3/8" to 1/2" thick tempered glass). One of the most impressive but scary sights I saw was a glass door falling off of a truck. The door jumped up in the air about 6 to 8 feet and spread glass in a 30 foot diameter. After that, even though tempered glass is still meant to be a "safety" glass, it won't kill you when it breaks but can cause some injury. That kind of leads me to my point, I watched as one of our installers sanded down the edge of one of these heavy glass doors to make it fit an opening. There does seem to be a slight amount that you can alter tempered glass without severe weakening or failure.
Great job Cody! Glad to see u still doing cool stuff. When i need a break from my own life I appreciate your vids. I can hit play and forget my problems. Thank you!
I have always been amazed at how fast tempered glass breaks. Slow mo Guys made that video and estimated that the cracks moved through the glass at around 4,750 feet per second
Thank you for doing this. It obviously takes time, energy, resources and intelligence to produce these exceptionally clearly communicated videos. BIG thanks.
Pretty much. The stresses in the glass depend on the glass staying in the form it was when it was tempered. Any change beyond a certain point and KABOOM. I'm left wondering if it would be possible to etch a very small hole all the way through, although to be honest I can't see how you'd keep the acid in a blob (scientific term) small enough.
Well not exactly. You see, the faster you cool it, the more brittle it gets. Also, after initial hardening, they heat the glass again with moderate temperatures, to regulate hardness. This way they make it as hard as it needs to be.
Could you try "drilling" a hole in a way that introduces a "wall" to the perimeter of the hole to hold back the pressure of the glass? Sort of like how they would dig wells and line the hole with stones.
This one is interesting to me. I work in a glass factory, currently laminating wind shields but spent years tempering for back lites and sun roofs. I used to get sprayed with glass cullet when they would break while quenching. And throwing away rejects / testing we broke many thousands of pieces. Can be satisfying stress relief sometimes
At my old job, we had a glass guy that offered to try and cut a hole in tempered glass. He admitted that there was a very high chance of it breaking, but we told him to try. I don't know how, but he was able to do it. We kept going to him for all our glass needs because of this. We found he had about a 30% success rate (was still cheaper to try than to just replace.) I think he enjoyed the challenge because he wouldn't charge us his labor on the times it would break, just the cost to cut a new one. It was a win/win for both of us. We had glass that needed holes in it and it would have to be replaced anyway so we were out nothing if he failed. He got returning business for large expensive glass.
I misunderstood this as Cody attempting to dissolve himself and pass through said pane of glass

I don't think that anvil is any significant weight to lift with both arms. Yeah, they are heavy, but an average person should have no issue lifting that anvil. An average male can dead lift around 160lb - 200lb. Someone who is reasonably built (but not massive) should be lifting closer to 300lb and over. This anvil isn't impressive.
@Jack W Google it. I just did and to be honest, I was pretty spot on, well, near enough to most the Web results for average deadlift weight for untrained average male. Remember this was average male and not you specifically.
That looks like the harbor freight 55 lb anvil to me
so glad you put in that explanation first! pretty sure I would not be able to follow what was going on otherwise. You know I also think that this is a great demonstration how not only is chemistry just physics but physics is (okay, mostly) chemistry
as a chemist i have a huge amount of respect for everyone working with HF.
i never thought etching will working. its like cutting a rubber band unter tension. it will always snap apart because of tension. there cannot be a rubberband with tension and a whole right through it
The rubber bands I've seen usually come pre fitted with a hole through them ;)
They can though like in the middle of it will just make the band easyer to rip as bans are not brittle like glass and have no cracks to propagate and break it
Are you german?
@@abdelrahmananbar6286 is who German
Cody's demonstration of tempered glass in such a concise, hands-on, understandable way is why I watch this channel.
Love the pause at 3:13 when he considers if he messed the explanation up. Then decides that he can salvage it.
But he shouldn´t have mentioned the outside contracting since that´s not relevant.
YES. Old Cody back explaining science in a way that's easily understood and demonstrated.
Remember the old times when Cody was running around with just dynamite?
@Angelo That was the joke ;)
You were OK going through the skin layers because the circumference of the holes were under a residual compressive stress. We know that ceramics are good under compression. As soon as you breached the center layer, the glass was bound to fracture as it did. The center portion of the cross section of tempered glass is under a residual tensile stress, which really means that there is a tremendous amount strain energy stored throughout the cross section. When the second compressive layer on the reverse side dissolved, there was nothing restraining the tensile stress in the center (cross sectionally) of the hole. Failure started somewhere in the center section and blasted outward. I have always wondered what this experiment would look like. Thanks Cody! 👍
2:12 "I'm gonna tight dizz nuts." Ha! Gott'em
Lulz nice one!
Welven!
Love your videos Cody, I know you’ve had a hard year but your looking like your old self and throwing out the videos. I really hope you have the best 2020 ever. You deserve it.
Now the same with a Prince Rupert‘s drop.
Fantastic video Cody! This is the best explanation of, and demonstration of, tempering I have ever seen. Fantastic! I hope some physics teachers out there find and use this video!
Finally, the Chad Cody is here.
Keep making videos Cody been looking for new content and finally saw this one been following you for about four years now and greatly enjoy seeing yours to this day.
I once had a window that was always angry and never nice to me, they must have used bad-tempered glass.......... :P
Yes
I can only imagine the pane you had to endure ;)
i had a window like that too. it pretended to like me, but i could see right through it.
Ugh what a pane
Cease function
I've never seen a explanation this easy to follow! So fascinating, Cody great work!
"Glass is glass, and glass breaks..."
Jerry Rig Everything 😉😉😉
Said the wise bald man
If kids or teens had the privilege of having you as a science teacher so many would excel excel because of it. You are a great speaker and so down to earth. I love your channel bro. I've acquired a new passion for science
Next you should try disolving a Prince Rupert's drop in HF.
I worked at a glass shop that installed heavy glass doors and enclosures (3/8" to 1/2" thick tempered glass). One of the most impressive but scary sights I saw was a glass door falling off of a truck. The door jumped up in the air about 6 to 8 feet and spread glass in a 30 foot diameter. After that, even though tempered glass is still meant to be a "safety" glass, it won't kill you when it breaks but can cause some injury. That kind of leads me to my point, I watched as one of our installers sanded down the edge of one of these heavy glass doors to make it fit an opening. There does seem to be a slight amount that you can alter tempered glass without severe weakening or failure.
I feel like Cody's planning a bank heist
Sorry I can’t like it’s at 69
Great job Cody! Glad to see u still doing cool stuff. When i need a break from my own life I appreciate your vids. I can hit play and forget my problems. Thank you!
It's time for the acid...
And now I dissolve through glass
This was a fascinating experiment and explanation!
So basically St Rupert's Drops are just beads of extremely tempered glass.
Yep :) tempered glass is extremely fragile on the corners, one tap and it will shatter :)
I love this kind of random topic video! Thank you Cody!
I have always been amazed at how fast tempered glass breaks. Slow mo Guys made that video and estimated that the cracks moved through the glass at around 4,750 feet per second
That sounds about right. That is approaching the speed of sound through glass.
Generally all cracks propagate in the speed of sound in that material
@@St0RM33 They'd propagate faster if they could but the speed of sound slows them down.
I miss videos like these from you, Cody. Nothing comfier than this stuff. Great video.
I'm curious how far you could get into a Prince Rupert's Drop with HF before it explodes
Awesome idea! Really glad you're still coming up with new ones, man.
*gouges the glass*
"I introduce tiny micro-cracks"
That was a really great explanation of how tempered glass works. Thanks so much for being an amazing teacher.
Should've put a camera while dissolving to catch the explosion :D
Thank you for doing this. It obviously takes time, energy, resources and intelligence to produce these exceptionally clearly communicated videos. BIG thanks.
Take a shot for every time he said glass, then you'll probably be able to figure out the next video he's going to upload
Very good visualization for the tension tempered glass is under. Great video brother
dumb question but how come the acid didnt dissolve the plastic cap ?
Bottle caps are "HDPE". It's resistant to hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids but not to (strong) nitric acid or some organic oils (eg cedar).
Cody I love your vids, you always make my day and educate my in the process,keep it up!
So I guess tempered glass is built kind of like a giant Rupert's drop.
Not kind of. Rupert's drops are tempered glass
Just semi spherical version making them stonger as sphears well dont have any corners or weak points
Pretty much. The stresses in the glass depend on the glass staying in the form it was when it was tempered. Any change beyond a certain point and KABOOM.
I'm left wondering if it would be possible to etch a very small hole all the way through, although to be honest I can't see how you'd keep the acid in a blob (scientific term) small enough.
Well not exactly. You see, the faster you cool it, the more brittle it gets. Also, after initial hardening, they heat the glass again with moderate temperatures, to regulate hardness. This way they make it as hard as it needs to be.
@@AnthonyHandcock Acid is an isotropic etchant. You want an anisotropic etchant, like plasma etch.
This was the BEST tempering explanation I've seen, congrats Cody!
"well, i guess it's time for the acid."
This opened up my understanding of materials. Great video.
Could you try "drilling" a hole in a way that introduces a "wall" to the perimeter of the hole to hold back the pressure of the glass? Sort of like how they would dig wells and line the hole with stones.
The problem is the glass pulling outwards away from the original hole, not pushing in, also how would that even be possible?
This one is interesting to me. I work in a glass factory, currently laminating wind shields but spent years tempering for back lites and sun roofs.
I used to get sprayed with glass cullet when they would break while quenching. And throwing away rejects / testing we broke many thousands of pieces. Can be satisfying stress relief sometimes
Im gonna scratch my piece of glass : "thrill"
Your science videos are always interesting and oddly mesmerizing. Keep them up, dude!
But the real question here is:
Does it scratch at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7?
the principle of a steel rod under tension in a ceramic is the same as concrete beams with pretensioned reinforcing, nice demonstration cody :)
Can you dissolve through the Cybertruck’s glass?
Holy shit. You explained something better than Applied Science. Be proud!
2:13 hah got eem!
Love all of your videos. At 4:06 I got a glimpse of Cody's Lab 50 years from now. Will stay subscribed to find out for sure.
That bottle of HF is more than I want to be within a mile of at any time
This was a very interesting video to watch thanks cody now I understand glass alot better. I'm gonna share this with my friends.
2:13 😂😂😂😂
"Deez nuts"
Ha! Got'im!
One of your best vids in a while. Keep it up.
- Cody, what are you going to tighten again?
- DEEZ NUTS
At my old job, we had a glass guy that offered to try and cut a hole in tempered glass. He admitted that there was a very high chance of it breaking, but we told him to try. I don't know how, but he was able to do it. We kept going to him for all our glass needs because of this. We found he had about a 30% success rate (was still cheaper to try than to just replace.) I think he enjoyed the challenge because he wouldn't charge us his labor on the times it would break, just the cost to cut a new one.
It was a win/win for both of us. We had glass that needed holes in it and it would have to be replaced anyway so we were out nothing if he failed. He got returning business for large expensive glass.
