The Science Behind Smart Glass 

I am relieved to know that it's opaque when unpowered. Let's imagine sitting on the pot, getting ready to dump and the power going out...

This is the mountain due cola guy?? Damnnnnn

Came here from Tom's video from 3 years ago, good to see you are still making informative videos!

I’m a stubborn mule techy tinkerer and working on building a new front door. It crossed my mind to use smart glass instead of normal because “well someone had to make it, why can’t someone be me” and found this in researching how to make it myself. This may be the first project I’m ever gonna give up before I start and it’s because your description is so clear and understandable I know this ain’t happening 😂 I appreciate you saving me time by being such an easy to comprehend video!!!

I think this could be used for greenhouses. Based on the light intensity the light that can get through can be controlled automatically.

AHHH ur voice is different than in your channel trailer!

This is the first video I’m seeing from this page and this dude explains things very smoothly and straight forward. Great video’

Remember me when this channel blows up to the millions of subscribers

This was a great video. I really enjoyed it!! Cheers.

We use smart glass in one of the escape rooms where I work - glad to know how it works now!

Subscription earned.

WOW, I always wondered how this stuff works! Great video!

It’s like one giant pixel, without color or a backlight!

I just watched the Mt. Dew video at Tom Scott's channel and I just gotta say: Damn, you changed a lot in 3 years lol Keep it up, dude, you're going places.

your way of explaining physics behind is awsome ... waiting to learn more from u

Simple and concise, The Action Lab should learn from this.

Dude wtf! You deserve like 10 milion subscribers! Yoour videos are such high quality! Keep up the awesome work dude!

I've wondered for a while if you could make a piece of glass where only half of it has this polymer. Imagine being able to use this on the top half of your windshield on your car instead of flipping down the little mirror thing.

Just discovered your channel from a Tom Scott video from 4 years ago, keep it up mate you'll make it big one day

Very simple yet sufficient explanation

So if the power shuts off all the walls in glass offices just go opaque

Interesting vid 👌Where did you buy that small sheet you used for an example? Is it a plastic glass and do you know if you can get custom sizes that are connected to the power button. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Haven't been on this channel since 2016, how things change! Is the dog still alive?

Came here for Mixed Reality Smart Glasses, but this is cool too. I bet the next video will talk about smart 🥂

Man, I love your work. I just wish it was a little longer.

I love how you can see the shadow change behind you

How To Make This Please Make Video Please

Cool, where did you buy the sheet and switch?

Thank you so much brother, this was really helpful

Great video

Thanks mate, great explaination

Man, great vids, great channel, great content. I really hope you the best m8!

Just watched tom scott’s video that featured you. *YOUR VOICE IS SO DEEP NOW*

Well made video, and exceptional quality for the size of your channel.

Wow.. you explained it well🔥👍, thankyou

Great explanation, my dude.

Really cool 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Interesting! Thanks! I wonder if it’s possible to have a pattern or semi-random texture for an aesthetic affect. In an office or home that might be preferable to a uniform opaque surface.

so i guess this explains how the smart glass with strips of transparency when opaque: the current is being run only through the areas that one would want to have transparent, and then either completely turned on to go fully opaque, or vice versa; to shift the strips of transparency [or opacity], one would program it so the areas where the current is running would shift from one end of the conductor strip to the other. correct?. so what i'm still curious about is *how does it work in smart glass that have logos "imprinted" on them?* i've seen the ability to have *a logo appear as if the glass is frosted both on all the glass except the logo* and *the other way around, and* then also *shift to total transparency or [semi-]opacity* ... I have thought of a few possibilities, but not sure if the science backs any of those hypotheses. you're obviously pretty gosh darn intelligent, maybe you can explain it to me!

Thanks dude. Good up load

Excellent vid sir. Please keep at it!

splendid video thanks!!

Awesome bro, thanks.

Keep up the good work! Love your workk

Is this thing can also be in the mirrors as smart mirror ??

Great video, thank you and welcome on my subscription list :)

best video

Good idea for Motorcycle plate

Appreciate the info and understanding. Question can this be triggered by sunlight? Like a photocell?

Thanks for the information 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

So it must be possible to make a window appear as TV. It have same base material right?

very helpful

More videos please!

I remember seeing this 20 years ago on this old house show for windows.

thanks

Cool ❤️

Can you please explain what your map in the background is showing? Why are some countries the same colour as the ocean?

Great that 99% of UV is blocked, but is that any different that ordinary glass? The (perfectly ordinary) replacement windows I installed in my house claim to block 99% of UV. You could get a UV meter (or camera!) and make a video where you test the transmissibility of UV in different types of glass.

Where do you buy these????

Where will it get to buy

i can´t wait untill it starts getting popular

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to create a reversible one-way mirror with this electrified liquid crystal technology? The vision is to be able to have a floor to ceiling glass window that can either be your view outside or reflect the interior back at you to create a sense of space. Intellectuals, please respond!!

Where can I get this to buy

can IR see thru it?

Where I can buy it?

I really like what you are doing, but one suggestion would be to add some background music. Like I said, I love your work and I think you should keep it up!

So where does one buy one of these sheets from?

good vid

I just came from Tom Scotts video on mountain Dew and coke... Damn

any way to get the same but instead of turn it opaque, turn it "mirror" from only one side like police station interrogation rooms?

Do they make these licence plate size? Asking for a friend

How long do they last?

nice

Maybe you answered this already, but when you turn the power off, how come the crystals scatter again? Why aren't they stuck like that? And do they always return to their original position? Or is it random? I hope I'm making sense...

If in the opaque mode, the glass is scattering the light, not necessarily reflecting it, wouldn't the same amount of energy come through, including heat? Although some would be reflected. I'd imagine that the windows would have a glow.

Done tharun😎

Just came across your channel, when researching Kava, great stuff, instantly Subcribed. Great to jump on board before you hit a million subs!

I took one project for the smart class unfortunately all glass working half part. Still I am not getting any solution .Rejected my clients

I wonder how much power these panes draw

interesting

Seems like a bad idea for aeroplane windows because they have to be able to be seen through in the event of a crash, but a power outage would make the windows go opaque.

Is it possible to make the glass clear when there is no electricity running through it and fogged up when electricity is running through it ???

Does any one knows, if this is on (transparent) is consuming electricity? That would be a bummer if does.

Hey bro, if you ever want a free editor let me know, love your videos

👍🏾

I came from Tom Scott’s channel the voice is a lot deeper now

Do a slow motion of this

MRI works same

from tomscott

Every thing has Advantages and drawbacks, when comes to Electrical Engineer, something wasting of energy is a big drawback. Why because the glass forms transparent on on live electricity.

This glass may make Google glass great again i think.

1:28 "anseeotropic" I think you mean "an-ISO-tropic"

imagine doing this with invisible coaks

damn that dislike ratio

Imagine if an entire building is made with smart glass, 1st of all, the electric bills would be ridiculous, 2nd. It only takes one power outage to ruin your day. 3rd. it would be harder to see when trying to escape a fire or something, thus creating a safety hazard. There are more reasons as to why not, but I ain't smart enough to think of em

Gotta get used to saying "turn on the window." Also, it's not ideal if there's a power outage during the day and all your windows decide to turn off as well huh

Oh My God is that Chase Wiley From Maderia Beach Fund?

Pls reply

Imagine using electricity so that your glass is see through

micron is a 1/1000 mm not a milion :D
