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.

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!

What about pouring molten glass into liquid nitrogen, would it make a super strong Prince Rupert's Drop?

@WingmanSR 7 жыл бұрын

The leidenfrost effect would make it cool too slowly to form a PRD, water has a higher heat capacity, and cools glass _FASTER_ than liquid N2.

You've used that crucible before, you had aluminumized glass. I'd like to see you try to pour and cast a mirror blank to make a telescope.

InfuriousFlames Gaming unfortunately glass doesn't work like that. There are ways around, but only in a glass studio. I'm afraid that the backyard will not cut it. 🙁 I would actually like to see him try in a studio though!!!

@adamklam1 7 жыл бұрын

I think its doable. u just need to mill a disposable crucible with a base in the shape of the play button so its both the crucible and the mold.-- not economical, but doable.

You should try making your own glass. Like super heating sand.

@aidenleech2086 7 жыл бұрын

you need much more than sand and it would be a process only a high-end company could make, though that would be cool

@sirboomtastic7376 7 жыл бұрын

be interesting to try though, sand does need to be melted at slightly higher temperatures but that glass melted easily enough

Sure. With enough heat and pressure, that's part of what happens when you fire ammunition or explosives into sand...it turns into a muddy glass.

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

King of Random - You can make explosive tadpoles easily. These are known as Prince Rupert's Drops. Melt glass really hot and then drip it into ice cold water. The blobs that survive look like tadpoles. Now grip the tadpole with pliers on the tail while submerging the head in a glass of water and snap the tail. The shock wave should break the glass. It helps to degas the water. When you break the tail it produces a shock wave that can break the glass holding the water. If it doesn't work the tadpole still turns into dust at the bottom of the glass.

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.
