Can the TKOR foundry melt glass? Join The King of Random and Veritasium melting glass in a metal foundry. This Random Happens features a collaboration melting dr pepper soda bottles. The glass bottle is set in a hot fire and cast in a mold made from dirt. Here’s a hot twist on some cool tricks on how to melt glass using a foundry. In this foundry experiment, Grant Thompson takes glass and bottles to the foundry to see what happens. What do you think will happen?
This melting glass project is also great for those wanting to know how to do other cool things with a foundry: foundry project, melting with foundry, glass melting, how to melt glass, glass recycling, melting glass at home, recycling glass, how to melt glass bottles at home, how to recycle glass at home, melting metal, DIY foundry, homemade foundry melting, glass casting, science projects and more!
If you’re looking to try something new or for an activity such as: DIY foundry project, melting glass, melting fidget spinners experiment, cool science experiments, fun weekend project, metal experiment, STEM project, STEM research, or just a fun project with the family, watch the video to learn more.

i think a smaller crucible with broken up glass will get a better flow,plus make sure its clean of other materials.i really like how you had two propane tanks heating it up,unfortunately i think it might have created an excess because there wasnt enough glass to keep hold of the tempature to keep it liquid because of the extra space in the oversized crucible.

hey Grant!!! maybe you should see how long it takes to BOIL glass!) maybe you could also try and put molten glass into a vacuum chamber!!

you could try to use the solar scorcher to cast the glass into something

You should melt down some glass and then try casting some molten metal on top of it (or vice versa if the glass is less dense) before either solidifies. I'm pretty sure this is how they used to make highly accurate flat surfaces.

I need a link to the video on how to make the that. We were just talking about if only we had a way to separate solder from number 2 copper yesterday and I think this is the perfect solution if we can regulate the temperature

Grant, have you ever measured the temperature of your backyard foundry? I wonder how hot glass blowers need to have their foundries.

DropTube You can actually melt Soda Glass in a camp fire. So, not much depending on the glass.

Glass blower here, our crucible keeps glass at 2,400 degrees Fahrenheit, if I recall correctly.

@Expertspecter 7 жыл бұрын

That makes sense. Higher grade glasd takes a lot more heat. if you wanna do something fun, put about an inch of lighter fluid into a beer bottle and put it into a campfire. Base in the red and top outside the fire. lol

We used a normal Bunsen burner to draw out glass tube to make a pipette in our chemistry lessons, so I knew that a gas fuelled kiln would be able to melt glass. I was a bit disappointed that Veritassium didn’t figure the whole thing out beforehand. Someone with an engineering degree should be able to look up the melting point of glass, the expected temperature that a kiln would achieve and come prepared. But maybe he just wanted to keep it random!

I came across this video to better understand how glass could be molten. I found some molten glass (or at least it looks like glass) on a 40-50 cm dark patch on the ground during a walk on the woods nearby and wondered how it could have melted in such a small fire.

Could that be something caused by a lightning strike?
