Tempered Glass Tests



"Breaking stuff for the sake of curiosity makes me happy."

Yup...

I had a camper in Provo this past week offer up a 4'x8' sheet of tempered glass for us to break. Seems like he had three of the sheets unused in his living room, there from a previous owner. The camper decided better of the breaking, though, but did promise to film, post, and share the video if he ever got around to breaking the sheet himself at a later date.

In this video Jason Patric our host throws a baseball, hits a golf ball, and finally shoots a metal bb at the glass to finally break the sheet. At 3:40 then the video explains why the tempered glass is so strong. In the end the host takes a tiny hammer to the edge of the sheet.
