Glass Facts of Curiosity
Contrary to popular belief, glass Is NOT A liquid; It Is an amorphous solid. Do you know what glass was made out of long ago? It’s the same ingredients that glass is made out of TODAY: It’s fundamentally SAND with seven other components, namely:
- SODA ASH.. acts as a flux joining the other elements.
- LIMESTONE… is one and the same as seashells.
- DOLOMITE
- SALT CAKE
- CARBOCITE
- CULLET… is recycled glass.
- ROUGE… gives glass it’s green tint.
At production molten glass is heated to 2900 degrees fahrenheit over molten tin in a furnace that is 160 feet long. When glass cracks the crack travels at a speed of three thousand miles an hour; to record this event a camera must shoot at a millionth of a second.
Glass takes one million years to decompose; aside from this it never wears out and can be recycled forever.
The first glass factory in AMERICA was built by DUTCH settlers At JAMESTOWN, VIRGINIA in 1608 (it was not successful). The first fully automated glass bottle-making machine was used in TOLEDO,OHIO in 1903.
Can you guess what the oldest item in your house might be? Here’s a hint: you probably used it at dinner and it can be found in your refrigerator. It’s the bottles, jars, & cups. Glass has been used and reused for hundreds, even thousands of years. Over three thousand years ago, the egyptians (who are the present-day COPTIC CHRISTIANS) began making and using glass for all kinds of items from jewelry to drinking cups.
The most effective glass for soundproofing purposes is LAMINATED glass (which is what a windshield is). However, better yet is LEXAN, a glass-like material that performs even greater. LEXAN is an exceedingly tough resin substance and is SIXTY(!) times stronger than glass.
In BOSTON’S HANCOCK TOWER there are 10,344 lites of tempered glass (tempered glass is five times stronger than non-tempered). Each lite measures 48 x 132 inches and the combined weight is 758 ton or 1,516,000 pounds (the take-off weight of a fully loaded 747 jet is 650 ton)!
KING CHARLES VI of FRANCE (1368-1422) had recurrant hallucinations that he was made of glass and had to carry pieces of iron In his clothing as a protective shield for his body so that he would not break! This condition came to be known as GLASS DELUSION.
