You presented this as if silver on glass is the only way to make a mirror. And half of it was on mining silver. Downvoted:
Alternative Methods
Aluminizing: This process involves depositing aluminum onto a glass surface, which is often preferred for its durability. Aluminized mirrors tend to last longer than silvered mirrors, making this method popular in various applications, including telescopes.
Other Metals: Besides silver and aluminum, other metals such as gold and copper can also be used to create reflective coatings. These materials can be applied in various ways, depending on the desired properties of the mirror.
Plastic Mirrors: Reflective coatings can also be applied to plastic surfaces, allowing for the creation of mirrors that are lighter and less fragile than glass.
Mylar and Other Films: Mylar sheets or similar reflective films can be adhered to surfaces to create mirrors. This method is often used in artistic applications or for temporary installations.
Good job 👌👌✅
no no
Interesting. Just at 0:56: In 400 years they mined 30000 tonnes, but they mine 1000 tonnes a year, which would result in 30000 tonnes in 30 years not 400. What am I missing?
Bad math in Mexico, they must have taken the Maga system.
Technology, perhaps
I know right, he is full of crap.
If mirrors didn't exist or cameras,i wouldn't know what i look like.That's deep.
you can see your own reflection in water
@@astonix2455 I thought about that.But it's still not as good as a mirror or a picture.
Lol.
Re-agent, not regent. You seem to be mixing tunnel mining with open cast mining.
AI generated baloney. Many errors, pics don't reflect dialog, pass it by.
Dumb comment
You need some real education young chap
Good job
I have never heard using silver on mirrors (for general use other than specialized optical uses) since coating with aluminum was invented. An aluminum mirror, while having slightly less reflectivity than new silver mirror, is superior as aluminum does not tarnish. It can even be coated, naked, on the front of glass & is stable (but fragile mechanically).
And you get seven years bad luck if you break one.
The "new" way is sooooooo boring! Lets see how they use to do it hundreds of years ago!!! Without technology.... Am I right?
This jumps between opencast mining and deep underground mining without explanation.
Both metals for mirrors, aluminum are very common since it is cheap, and the expensive way with silver
How did our ancestors create mirrors? Did they have this complicated process and machinary?
After gold and silver is extracted, what's sent to the factory?
The two largest silver mines in Mexico are predominantly open pit operations. This video has many errors.
So this is why Vampires don't have a reflection in mirrors.
Mirror first invented in india....😂so pitty on your people.
Did you use AI to generate Andrew Tates voice?
This is not completely true.
can you elaborate?
@@nullmojo7483 aluminum is more commonly used because silver is far more expensive.
You're not true 😂
@@ryanridley554 aluminum.
Aluminum is more common because is is far less expensive, both material-wise and process. Aluminum is nearly as reflective at ~90%. So, most mirrors bought and broken are Aluminum plated and not silver. You wouldn't plate a 2mm piece of glass with silver and you wouldn't plate a 10mm piece of glass in aluminum.
I can see myself reflecting on this one, a while.
Hello from England.. How do they make the Mirror finish on Plastic?
Polish it and then spray metallic paint and then polish it again than buff it wax
The liquide tin formula please?
No mask in the tunnels?
Kilometers....NOT....ki- LO - meters! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Great video, thank you.
I did not think it was so complicated to make mirrors, so I don't understand, why are mirrors so cheap ?
Just like any modern products, they’re mass produced so it’s down to raw (materials etc) costs instead most of the time.
People don’t really appreciate how far we have came.
Also there are cheaper alternatives? Silver seems to be a real high quality one to be used.
Hello I like your content ❤
