The Science Behind Smart Glass
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- In the past, I've seen smart glass and I have always wondered how a material can go from opaque to clear with just the touch of a button. In this video, we learned the science behind smart glass and how polymer dispersed liquid crystals allow this to be possible.
Thank you so much for watching this video! If you would like to suggest a video idea please leave it in the comments, and if you enjoyed please like and subscribe! It was my pleasure to add a bit of science to your day!

I am relieved to know that it's opaque when unpowered. Let's imagine sitting on the pot, getting ready to dump and the power going out...
It will be dark anyways hahahaha
@@viktorvelkovski1510 the power can go out, even if its daytime
The new japanese bathroom where they used this
Doubt any material with opposite property will be used as toilet wall
Where Will it get
This is the mountain due cola guy?? Damnnnnn
Ikr just found the original Tom Scott video, it's amazing
@@zoomane same
Same

I know right. I just came here from the Tom Scott video. Funny how Tom looks pretty much the same as four years ago.
Came here from Tom's video from 3 years ago, good to see you are still making informative videos!
I’m a stubborn mule techy tinkerer and working on building a new front door. It crossed my mind to use smart glass instead of normal because “well someone had to make it, why can’t someone be me” and found this in researching how to make it myself.
This may be the first project I’m ever gonna give up before I start and it’s because your description is so clear and understandable I know this ain’t happening 😂
I appreciate you saving me time by being such an easy to comprehend video!!!
Good luck
This is the first video I’m seeing from this page and this dude explains things very smoothly and straight forward. Great video’
Remember me when this channel blows up to the millions of subscribers
Me too.
I think this could be used for greenhouses.
Based on the light intensity the light that can get through can be controlled automatically.
AHHH ur voice is different than in your channel trailer!
This was a great video. I really enjoyed it!! Cheers.
Simple and concise, The Action Lab should learn from this.
I just watched the Mt. Dew video at Tom Scott's channel and I just gotta say: Damn, you changed a lot in 3 years lol
Keep it up, dude, you're going places.
Ahahaha me too
Subscription earned.
We use smart glass in one of the escape rooms where I work - glad to know how it works now!
your way of explaining physics behind is awsome ... waiting to learn more from u
It’s like one giant pixel, without color or a backlight!
WOW, I always wondered how this stuff works! Great video!
Very simple yet sufficient explanation
So if the power shuts off all the walls in glass offices just go opaque
Dude wtf! You deserve like 10 milion subscribers! Yoour videos are such high quality! Keep up the awesome work dude!
Just discovered your channel from a Tom Scott video from 4 years ago, keep it up mate you'll make it big one day
I've wondered for a while if you could make a piece of glass where only half of it has this polymer. Imagine being able to use this on the top half of your windshield on your car instead of flipping down the little mirror thing.
I’ve been wondering this as well you should let me know if you ever figure out how this can be done.
There are two versions - one is built into the glass and the other is a sheet (similar to standard window tint) - using the second option - it's 100% possible.
@@iCantLogOut oh snap! I don't think that existed when I first saw this. Is there a product name for it?
Haven't been on this channel since 2016, how things change! Is the dog still alive?
That Guy Magnum!
I found him from Tom's video today . I didn't check the date so I was a bit surprised he's grown up now.
@@sorestedhebytheTumtumtree haha must have been a bit of a shock!
Came here for Mixed Reality Smart Glasses, but this is cool too. I bet the next video will talk about smart 🥂
Interesting vid 👌Where did you buy that small sheet you used for an example? Is it a plastic glass and do you know if you can get custom sizes that are connected to the power button. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Thank you so much brother, this was really helpful
Just watched tom scott’s video that featured you.
*YOUR VOICE IS SO DEEP NOW*
Man, I love your work. I just wish it was a little longer.
so i guess this explains how the smart glass with strips of transparency when opaque: the current is being run only through the areas that one would want to have transparent, and then either completely turned on to go fully opaque, or vice versa; to shift the strips of transparency [or opacity], one would program it so the areas where the current is running would shift from one end of the conductor strip to the other. correct?. so what i'm still curious about is *how does it work in smart glass that have logos "imprinted" on them?* i've seen the ability to have *a logo appear as if the glass is frosted both on all the glass except the logo* and *the other way around, and* then also *shift to total transparency or [semi-]opacity* ... I have thought of a few possibilities, but not sure if the science backs any of those hypotheses. you're obviously pretty gosh darn intelligent, maybe you can explain it to me!
Thanks mate, great explaination
Well made video, and exceptional quality for the size of your channel.
I love how you can see the shadow change behind you
Man, great vids, great channel, great content. I really hope you the best m8!
Great video
Cool, where did you buy the sheet and switch?
Thanks dude. Good up load
Wow.. you explained it well🔥👍, thankyou
Great explanation, my dude.
Is this thing can also be in the mirrors as smart mirror ??
Excellent vid sir. Please keep at it!
How To Make This Please Make Video Please
splendid video thanks!!
Keep up the good work! Love your workk
Awesome bro, thanks.
Interesting! Thanks! I wonder if it’s possible to have a pattern or semi-random texture for an aesthetic affect. In an office or home that might be preferable to a uniform opaque surface.
You probably can, idk how the electrodes work, but I would assume they either have micro wires running inside the film, or either they use a conductive coating, I would guess it is some sort of silver oxide. In that case you could make it any shape you want
@@victornpb I believe this uses indium tin oxide sheet electrodes on either side of the polymer sheet. indium tin oxide is preferred for applications such as these because it is transparent. It is also used in touch screens of smart phones.
You can also just add tint/frosting to smart-glass like normal 👍
There are buses/trains where people on the outside see the entire side of the vehicle looking like a single painted on image (including the windows) and they cannot see the passengers; however the passengers can see out the windows from inside with the translucent image only barely visible! On some passenger trains in Asia (in Japan iirc) they've additionally made the windows with smart-glass on lines that travel really close to high-rise apartment buildings. When the train is passing the apartments the windows are turned opaque for the privacy of the tenants! Its a pretty cool practical usage 💯
Really cool 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hi, i am from India and was thinking if i am able to start manufacturing this in India and make a decent living. Can you suggest something pls.
Thanks for the information 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Can you please explain what your map in the background is showing? Why are some countries the same colour as the ocean?
So it must be possible to make a window appear as TV. It have same base material right?
best video
Great that 99% of UV is blocked, but is that any different that ordinary glass? The (perfectly ordinary) replacement windows I installed in my house claim to block 99% of UV. You could get a UV meter (or camera!) and make a video where you test the transmissibility of UV in different types of glass.
regular glass blocks UVB light (the cancer causing one). UVA still comes through (that's the wrinkles causing one).
Good idea for Motorcycle plate
very helpful
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to create a reversible one-way mirror with this electrified liquid crystal technology? The vision is to be able to have a floor to ceiling glass window that can either be your view outside or reflect the interior back at you to create a sense of space. Intellectuals, please respond!!
thanks
any way to get the same but instead of turn it opaque, turn it "mirror" from only one side like police station interrogation rooms?
Great video, thank you and welcome on my subscription list :)
Appreciate the info and understanding. Question can this be triggered by sunlight? Like a photocell?
More videos please!
I really like what you are doing, but one suggestion would be to add some background music.
Like I said, I love your work and I think you should keep it up!
I remember seeing this 20 years ago on this old house show for windows.
Where do you buy these????
Where can I get this to buy
i can´t wait untill it starts getting popular
Where will it get to buy
I took one project for the smart class unfortunately all glass working half part. Still I am not getting any solution .Rejected my clients
Cool ❤️
Where I can buy it?
So where does one buy one of these sheets from?
Maybe you answered this already, but when you turn the power off, how come the crystals scatter again? Why aren't they stuck like that? And do they always return to their original position? Or is it random? I hope I'm making sense...
they are suspended in liquid so brownian motion can shuffle the crystals in random orientations. This is the same principle a calculator lcd works it is just lacking the polarizers, your window is just a giant pixel.
Do they make these licence plate size? Asking for a friend
Is it possible to make the glass clear when there is no electricity running through it and fogged up when electricity is running through it ???
Just came across your channel, when researching Kava, great stuff, instantly Subcribed. Great to jump on board before you hit a million subs!
Done tharun😎
I just came from Tom Scotts video on mountain Dew and coke... Damn
nice
How long do they last?
can IR see thru it?
👍🏾
Hey bro, if you ever want a free editor let me know, love your videos
good vid
Does any one knows, if this is on (transparent) is consuming electricity? That would be a bummer if does.
It does, but it’s very little
If in the opaque mode, the glass is scattering the light, not necessarily reflecting it, wouldn't the same amount of energy come through, including heat? Although some would be reflected. I'd imagine that the windows would have a glow.
Well some of the light is reflected back the way the light source came from, so it doesn’t go through
@@ScienceC Thanks. That makes sense.
I wonder how much power these panes draw
Seems like a bad idea for aeroplane windows because they have to be able to be seen through in the event of a crash, but a power outage would make the windows go opaque.
interesting
I came from Tom Scott’s channel the voice is a lot deeper now
Do a slow motion of this
from tomscott
Imagine if an entire building is made with smart glass, 1st of all, the electric bills would be ridiculous, 2nd. It only takes one power outage to ruin your day. 3rd. it would be harder to see when trying to escape a fire or something, thus creating a safety hazard. There are more reasons as to why not, but I ain't smart enough to think of em
When glass is powered off is when its private. As it's powered on is when it becomes see through. Meaning you actually only use power the time spent looking through it.
Every thing has Advantages and drawbacks, when comes to Electrical Engineer, something wasting of energy is a big drawback. Why because the glass forms transparent on on live electricity.
This glass may make Google glass great again i think.
1:28 "anseeotropic" I think you mean "an-ISO-tropic"
damn that dislike ratio
MRI works same
imagine doing this with invisible coaks
Gotta get used to saying "turn on the window." Also, it's not ideal if there's a power outage during the day and all your windows decide to turn off as well huh
No it is. In it's off state it is not clear. Therefore if the power goes out the "window" would just be like a wall
yeah that's what I said, that it's going to block the sunlight too
Imagine using electricity so that your glass is see through
Oh My God is that Chase Wiley From Maderia Beach Fund?
