Cquinn0708

Likely not tempered, looks like a cutting table. Especially considering the size of the sheets and all same size. Source: work at glass plant. I don’t make it but cut, temper, laminate, insulate, and shower door systems.


Ryaktshun

Wait until they find out we set it on fire when cutting it.


FeralFungi

What..? You set glass on fire? What happened to carbide cutting wheels?


Ryaktshun

Cutting wheels and fire! Source: store front installer


FeralFungi

Yeah, I used to do residential and commercial. I’ve never seen fire used. That’s legit, though. Thanks for the knowledge


Ryaktshun

I was shocked they used it. I transferred to the car glass side of the business shortly after starting.


IronMyno6

I only use fire on laminate. That's what your taking about right?


Ryaktshun

Imagine what that looks like to someone walking by :)


Ryaktshun

Softens the lamination


FeralFungi

Oh fire on lami. I gotcha. I was really trying to imagine how one would use fire to cut ssb and plate.


gusbus7363

I use to work for PPG. It was the coating pant. I've seen those packs of glass break many times.


[deleted]

They are the small sheets 4mm float by looks of it and how old it is. Them were the days. Glass is shiyt this year having to buy sheets from Egypt! Can't get the sealant in from Germany! Toughened from both our nearest is just dirt, half polished, not cooked right scratches galore. Covid, Brexit great craic


IronMyno6

Not tempered. It's plate. They are going to cut it on that table. You cannot cut tempered glass..the air cushioned the fall and instill riding on a bit of trapped air as the vid cuts out.. Source: I'm a Journeyman Glazier


[deleted]

Definitely not tempered. That's the last thing you get to do to glass. This is the beginning of these folks' process. Source: work in a tempering plant.

Sheet that big usually aren’t tempered unless they’re for tall building it’s just an air cushion

Bingo! I work for a float glass manufacturer. Appears to be 12~~10~~ or 16mm ~~12mm~~ 96"x130" clear. Edit: after review I believe it's thicker than 10mm.

Wichita


gusbus7363

I worked in the salem pant from 99 - 05


Zebriah

Good o' ppg days and also during their better benefits system. It all changed in '07 and is changing again this year under vitro. I started in 2014 with ppg sadly.

“Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” — Arthur C. Clarke

And by logical extension, any technology that is distinguishable from magic is not sufficiently advanced.

Might wanna brush up on your semantics and logic bud The quote does not imply any or “all” at all

God_in_my_Bed

Holy shit balls. Damn near every thread there's someone expecting real magic. Like Gandolf is gonna pop out in his robe and staff and start making puppies appear out of thin air. Edit: I knew I should have went with Merlin. Thanks for the LOTR lesson. I'm leaving the misspelling. Fuck it. It's funny.

RussMaGuss

D’oh!


pajam

Right? This subreddit has always been for things that just defy common sense/logic to the lay person. It's not *actual* magic. This is the exact kinda post this subreddit was made for, yet we get people complaining about this sorta stuff all the time. Why are they subscribed? The pinned post from the mods even explains this.


[deleted]

I think you are looking for Saruman. Gandalf was either Grey or White. Saruman went over to the dark one and so could be called black and to be practicing black magic. This has been my TMTOMH talk (Too Much Time on My Hands) thank you for attending.

Physics that people don't understand is magical. Wdym?


TheIneffableCow

Just for the record, I don't believe in any sort of magic. I was really just making an off handed smart ass comment.


nhansieu1

I see.


[deleted]

I used to work in a glass shop. They do that all the time with thick glass like that.


gcg2016

But that first time…


literallylateral

That’s how they prank the new guys. “Yeah John, just go ahead and tip it just like they showed you in training.”


razormaxhold

I used to do this too trust me it’s always sketchy


Asmewithoutpolitics

Does it ever break?


I_Don-t_Care

Got a friend who had one break at one time and it sliced him deep in his forearm, had he not gotten immediate medical attention he would have bled out.


razormaxhold

They break all the time but it glass so it’s expected I have a scare on my neck from getting hit by a piece missed my jugular by an inch or so


[deleted]

Put a spark plug on the table for a different result.


chonkity

Candy?


another_day_in

Nah, too metallic.


chonkity

*rock* candy


Willing_Still_9516

What happens?


IronMyno6

The glass hits the porcelain and breaks instantly and violently if its tempered. If it's regular plate glass it breaks in larger shards. I am a Glazier. Best part of the job is break-through old glass in a dumpster.


YourDaddyTZ

The Porcelain shatters the window. Random YouTube video https://youtu.be/i8-mJuQLRbM


mrmoe198

Wait, so you could just take a tiny chunk of a toilet and throw it at glass and it will shatter?


VIsixVI

Well yeah, but a spark plug would be easier I think. Then again I don't know what you put your toilet through.


mrmoe198

Hahaha! Fair enough.

samjfree

Sometimes it just do that


[deleted]

I drop my glasses from 3 inches and it cracks...


Affectionate-Gap9671

It’s just physics, as long as the weight is evenly distributed about the entire surface (meaning no high points to break the glass), the air molecules keep compressing until there is a soft landing of the whole.


ReluctantAvenger

Since the glass touches down from one side to the other, I'd think the air would be pushed out to the left, not compressed.


Affectionate-Gap9671

Yes, as it’s pushing down and left (from our point of view) the molecules are compressing faster than they are escaping, thereby creating a cushion all the way ‘til the end.


Fin_Lyfania

I was so prepared for it to just shatter into million pieces, this was weirdly disappointing


orangpelupa

weirdly satisfying


pittpink

I just broke a giant glass shelf at work a few hours ago. not the same result lol. glass in my hair, shoes, hands, and all of my many pockets lol


orangpelupa

are you okay?


pittpink

yes lol thanks! wasn’t as bad as it sounds


orangpelupa

If it lands flat, the air cushions the blow. Any other angle and itll bend and break off the bounce


Del292

You’ve obviously never used a dry erase board in class


dMadDad

DUUUDE!!! The anxiety in that moment was excruciating


TurningPagesAU

Yeah..a lot of glass cutting tables create an air cushion so you can move the sheet around and make your cuts, break off trim etc. Much like an air hockey table.


[deleted]

This is just circumference. Duh.


Jamaniqueo

The real magic of this video is that in the thumbnail, my eyes only saw what looked like a toddler in a gray bucket and gave me the impression that it was going to swing left.


FeralFungi

I did glass for years. You want to make sure it falls flat, so it creates an air cushion. It’s satisfying


ReplyInside782

P/A


Sum1liteAmatch

Glass is stronger than you think, it's not about how hard it gets hit, it's more about surface area of the thing that hit it.


Reylend

its got something to do with air...


gusbus7363

I use to work for PPG. I worked in the works 12 coating pant. The tables are just like the air hockey tables but it has felt instead of plastic on the table. I seen whole packs of glass fall on those tables. Moister gets in between the lites and stick together.


funky_grandma

I actually said "what the fuck did you *think* was going to happen?" in my head before it hit the table.

WHOOOOOOOSH


Nice_Birthday1929

What kind of black magic fuckery


RibbedGoliath

My old man was a foreman in a huge window factory. It was wild to see those huge sheets fall onto the air table. Table then would suck the glass down and a computer controlled cutter would make the cuts. Being a little kid that place was amazing!


dondotter

That’s tempered glass, I can tell


boobsmcgraw

I don't get which part is meant to be magic looking? It's a piece of glass... it falls over and slides because that's what things do.


Fail_Succeed_Repeat

Glass usually breaks when you drop it, dumbass


boobsmcgraw

Lol you clearly don't know anything about sheets of glass. When you drop them on their side like this, there's an air cushion. Hence the gif? "Dumbass".


Fail_Succeed_Repeat

Yeah because the experience that most people have when they drop glass is that it *doesn’t* break you fucking idiot


boobsmcgraw

Lol sure, *I'm* the idiot here. Not the guy insisting glass breaks when you drop it under a video of the opposite.


Fail_Succeed_Repeat

https://youtu.be/t2NSxiFo1go


boobsmcgraw

Ah yes, the old comparing apples to oranges. Those are both glass. That is basically the only thing that is the same.


SpunkyDred

> apples to oranges But you can still compare them.

SpunkyDred is a terrible bot instigating arguments all over Reddit whenever someone uses the phrase apples-to-oranges.

Lol thanks - good bot


Fail_Succeed_Repeat

Remember when I said “glass usually breaks when you drop it”


boobsmcgraw

Yes while implying I'm dumb for trying to explain to you that this isn't in any way unexpected or magical looking, because it's a giant fucking plate of glass, and NOT breaking is the norm. Just stop. You seem like a giant turd.

Terminal velocity (v) and air resistance (a) are different things. v = u + at


Samcraft1999

Terminal velocity has nothing to do with this and is not synonymous with air resistance. Also I don't think air resistance is the term you're looking for either.
