One of the best presentations of a rather complex set of operations to make a variety of glass products that we all take for granted. No annoying music or distractions with only a crip explanation of all the vital steps from mining to making the most sophisticated products like fiber optics and lenses
Agreed. Was a bit perplexed they didn't mention units at 20:27 when talking about optical fiber tensile strength of "100,000 per inch" (pascals maybe?). Still a cool doc.
It was an advertisement, but still informative
that's a documentary 🙌
Extremely well done documentary. Using glass as a data storage medium is a stroke of genius and could ensure that digitized motion pictures and sound would be archived for centuries. Almost totally immune to temperature and moisture contamination, this medium would be ideal for very long time storage and retrieval of historic film and sound recordings. Thanks for posting!
Yes, yet again Star Trek got the future technology spot on. Data crystals
I know they said Hitachi developed this in the early 2000s but, as an intern at IBM in 1983, I worked with a research scientist on exactly this.
Really appreciate it and enjoyed it thoroughly well done I've learned so much from this article
What a show about float and blown glass! Bravo on this production.
Yes, the invention of the process that allow "flat" glass is a good topic. There was a time when sheel glass had to be rolled
Glass, one of the greatest inventions ever.
Wow. That was a mind blowing documentary. Thank you.
Excellent stuff ! ... 👍
Great documentary 3
I had a few float glass factories as clients that I visited regularly. Watching float glass go from sand, etc. to cut stacked sheets was fascinating. Although there no aluminum was allowed as if an aluminum can or even just a pull tab it would leave fish eyes in the final product.
I really did enjoy this video. I didn’t know that it took so much material to make glass, but I learned something new and it’s very fascinating. The way these products are made.
This was really very interesting.
Fantástico
Wonderful use of glass indeed! Awesome tech 👍
Super interesting.
Very well done and I could never figure out how to make plate glass, never thought of floating it on tin. This should be standard course material in primary and secondary education.
Silicon is the most abundant material that makes up the Earth.That's why it's so widely mined
Abrogation of lenses! Master class stuff right here! Nerds will know..:)
Nice.
My family was involved in the making of glass bottles & jars for many years. You might say we had glass in our blood. I was familiar with all but the last part of this video presentation. The glass fiber optical method I have seen before. However, the last part about data storage just blew me away. That is the new age of glass. Exciting times lay ahead. This is a great video.

We are Cardinal's customer. Someday I hope to visit their float line.
Never complaining over the prices of lens 🙏🏿
Make more
Ok 🆗🆗🆗 OK ok 👌👌👌👍👍👍❤❤❤

That's amazing. There's a lot of automation in there, how long before they don't employ any humans?
According to ‘some’ experts? Really? Which experts don’t think this?
Oh boy, who would have ever thought, a sand shortage. I guess I should start hoarding buckets of sand just in case. You wouldn’t want to be caught without sand when you really need it.
I believe that the UN wouldn’t know shit from clay
They don't know shit from Camel cigarettes. That's why you'll never send them to the store for your smokes.
What metals contaminate the sand? Fe or REE's like Sc and Y?
Obviously some ferromagnetic metals, given the magnetic sorting station in the helical slide washer/separator.
OMG! Running out of sand! What's next? Saltwater scarcity, we are SO doomed, thanks, UN.
😊
No comments on glass data fiber for digital commication
"Sand scarcity" LOL
0:42 Sand, as it is found in nature, is NOT used in concrete. That particular sand is manufactured from rock. Sand in nature, is too rounded for use in concrete.
They got to that a bit later on, when they show the industrial sand-making process and sorting for various uses such as concrete, glass, paint, toothpaste, etc.
Not true, sand mined from river beds is prized for use in concrete - there is a huge environmental impact from this in many places.
@@donaldcarey114 I thought the same thing until I watched a documentary of how sand is made.
@@donaldcarey114 Seems like an instance of what normally happens vs the occasional edge cases. It is true that wind and water weathered sand is generally not fit for use in concrete, but there are bound to be exceptions to the general rule. My guess is that most construction sand suppliers source from a rock crushing and sifting operation, though you will also find the river-bed mine, etc. operations out there occasionally.
Limestone is crushed to make silica??
Is this an A.I. generated video?
The limestone would be for the calcium carbonate ingredient, a minor component compared to the quartz sand (from sandstone, mentioned starting @ 1:25 ) containing most of the silica. This isn't an AI generated doc, though I do have a gripe with later section on fiber optics.
I amend my prior statement. The outro was suss as hell.
Gloss?
Stanley was wondering where the narrator went, now he feels safer.
So in some respect we still live in the stone age.
Saudi Arabia imports Sand for use in construction, from other Countries, namely Australia. Their Sand is much too fine and they cannot produce a Concrete strong enough for Highrise buildings... apparently....
Ai loves ai
This is the type of (cool) documentaries that i watch… but after 3 to 5 minutes i loose track of what‘s going on 🙈
A square 20 miles on a side x 10m deep hole is 50billion tonnes
What is rioting glass
Plastic packaging needed for glass jar and bottle........ funny that, thought we didn’t need petrochemical industrial 🏭
Lots of great information here, but your editor needs a few more lessons.
Desert sand is too smooth for concrete manufacturing
is this an AI voice?
Machine Learning, yes.
No. It is a fake voice though yes. It’s just a computerized voice. The term AI is a bit overused nowadays.
@@alexlabs4858 yea i mean that , i dont liek artificial voices
At 9:05 bad segue.
I did not understand, how can a fiberglass be a glass, and not break when the line is bent?? Does anyone know
Good Question...Someone must answer this
@@-sawal Thanks. I hopee so, since this video does not
@@DB-thats-me everything bends--sllightly: stone, steel, wood--everything. that is not the point. but bending a wire with a glass tube is totally different.
@@DB-thats-me thank you, wise one. i shall try live with your wisdom
@@DB-thats-me But forgot to bow before your infinite knowledge and wisdom, oh wise one. May you be bent backward soon by the unbelievers in order to prove your point by evidence
Wow my hands at 1:15 and my bff at 1:20
No cred dang
Those man hands are yours? stock video? there's no one at 1:20
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3n Hey yeah! There are hands at 1:14 and others 1:15 through 1:17. Unless the kaleidoscope looking view at 1:20 is some LSD-induced reductionist or abstract view of hands, the comment doesn't make sense.
Clearly an A-eye dramatization.
It's much easier to etch data on glass than it is to thread magnetic cores!
How does the sand not grind away the surfaces of the chutes, filters, pores, etc. that the sand is passing through? Wouldn't the apparatus be quickly damaged from the constant flow of hard particles?
I’m sure it does to a certain degree, but if those components are case hardened then they could actually be harder than the sand and therefore handle far more abuse than if they were annealed steel.
You are correct.
The jaw plates of a crusher get replaced / reconditioned as often as necessary.

lol, we are not running out of sand.
What's your source of that info?
@@BariumCobaltNitrog3nI think it’s called common sense.
@@Biggestfoot10209 How much sand is there on Earth and how long will it last? How much gets used every year? Let's see how much common sense you have.
I know right I got a shitload of sand in my yard they can come get me and make some glass😂😂😂😂
@@Biggestfoot10209 If it's so abundant why do we bother with glass recycling? You understand all the sand in deserts doesn't have the neccesary properties sandstone mined from quarries does? It's an abundant, but ULTIMATELY STILL A FINITE RESOURCE. It can not be reproduced or reclaimed once it's run its lifecycle and ends up in a landfill
_The robo voice is annoying. There are scientific mistakes in the explanations. And the explanations are very surface-level shallow.
Nice images, though._
Is this channel just messing with its viewers? Fiber optics are not made the way it showed.
How is it made? Clearly this wasn't right, or at least not complete. I also wanted to see rolled glass for stained glass is made. I've seen it done, but I wanted to see more.
Glass is a very viscus liquid
Here’s a crazy idea… why don’t we just get it out of the deserts? Plenty of sand there 😀
We are running out of sand suitable for concrete.
Lots of applications. And many manufacturing techniques. Like: Automotive glass. Tempered glass. Curved glass. How are those made? Even beveled glass. Lead crystal. And even polycarbonate eyeglasses! Or stained glass. We realize their's many kinds of glass.
Finally:
Is it close to metallurgy? Mix it, use powders. Heat it. Temper & aneal? Sorry.. .
Form, pour it, cast it etc. Really quite remarkable isn't it?
Polycarbonate is NOT glass, it is plastic.
It is stupid crushing sandstone to make sand, when sand is all around (including from dredging harbours, despite less contaminates to get rid of.
We are running out of sand suitable for concrete.
@@teebosaurusyou2-un2nz in 1000 years?
i wonder if they realize glass is not the only packaging material that is fully recyclable. Aluminum is also 100% recyclable indefinitely as well. if you are going to make a documentary, get your facts right.
Aluminium usually has to be coated in plastic if used to store food or drink, which complicates things.
I was looking for this comment before I made the same one. Aluminum and steel are 100% recyclable.
@@michaelandersen7535since plastic melts at a different temperature than aluminum, it either becomes slag or vaporizes as the temperature continues to rise to the melting point of aluminum.
Yeah i recycle all my aluminum and steel bottles
The moons mass is approximately 1/80th that of earth and aluminum is approximately 8.23% of earths crust which doesn’t include the mantle The math is to take 8.23% of 5.973x10^24kg and that will give you the answer.75% of all aluminum ever produced on earth is still in existence, the rest is lost through smelting and erosion in one form or another or just lost .
Enjoyable. However, narration sounds AI generated, which detracts greatly from presentation.

Gees... as if things in the World arnt bad enough, the scientists tell us we are running out of sand

The video part was good, but the commentary, in several parts, was 'misguided' to say the least. It really needed someone with more knowledge of the subject to edit the commentary! (P.s. most of the world operates in celcius including most of the sensors visible in the documentary, so why change for the chat?)
I worked for nearly 30 years in the Float Glass industry. The terms used (for the industry I am familiar with) were correct. Although there was little explanation about where the terms came from or why they were used.
What was misguided in it?
As a Ceramic Engineer, I found the explanation of the process fairly accurate. I would quibble with the inclusion of Aluminum in glass manufacturing though. Should have stated Alumina (Aluminum Oxide). Other than that, well presented.
good informative video but I will NEVER subscribe to Lord Gizmo because I HATE your logo in the middle of the screen.
_I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth_
Global warming and now a sand shortage..goodness what are we to do
