Thanks for the ping!
Same website, right side of page. They have it for sale.
“Glass itself is a liquid”
True, but most people won’t believe it.
Take a 60 year old piece of plate glass and measure it top and bottom and you will find that it has settled over the years with the bottom being thicker.
Greeeeeat!
Something ELSE for the muslims to hate us for.
There was a show on “paint on” TV screens. I forget how, but electro-sensitive bits were added to a VERY thin film of plastic. The plastic was flexible and still showed the picture. They then spoke of imbedding it into paints and covering entire buildings, walls, etc. with it. So - add it to this spray on glass. (Or cover the building with the electro-paint and THEN cover with the glass).
Interesting questions BUMP!
Nope. That's the urban legend. Check out that link.
In other words, while some antique windowpanes are thicker at the bottom, there are no statistical studies to show that all or most antique windowpanes are thicker at the bottom than at the top. The variations in thickness of antique windowpanes has nothing to do with whether glass is a solid or a liquid; its cause lies in the glass manufacturing process employed at the time, which made the production of glass panes of constant thickness quite difficult.
Wouldn't it be interesting if this, and many other claims, turn out to be true. If a whole new world of items was coming out of the nanotechnology industry? Maybe even more than just that industry. Maybe in the energy field.
And the world leaders are trying to rake in as much dough as they can before it all hits?
Perhaps this is a byproduct of cold fusion? Same level of hype. Maybe there’ll be something to it, but ingesting it concerns me.
Maybe the next Bond mobile will go green and spray liquid glass instead of oil.
Slippery when dry.
“Glass itself is a liquid”
So is a popsicle.
Hah! I know what you’re thinking, but Mom sez yer still gonna haveta take a bath. Nice try. BTT.
Yes, it is. But, at room temperature, it's damn near frozen solid.
Please explain?
This world will have a serious GOI problem if this product actually hits the market.
/semiconductor humor
(who gets this joke?)
That’s the problem I have with the ASTM test. Apparently, they define a liquid as having flow at 100F. Water would pass as a liquid at 100F, but fail as a liquid if the test were run above 130F or below 32F. The temp chosen for determination of a liquid seems arbitrary.
