The Science Behind Smart Glass
Ғылым және технология
In the past, I've seen smart glass and I have always wondered how a material can go from opaque to clear with just the touch of a button. In this video, we learned the science behind smart glass and how polymer dispersed liquid crystals allow this to be possible.
Thank you so much for watching this video! If you would like to suggest a video idea please leave it in the comments, and if you enjoyed please like and subscribe! It was my pleasure to add a bit of science to your day!

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...

I know right. I just came here from the Tom Scott video. Funny how Tom looks pretty much the same as four years ago.
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.
your way of explaining physics behind is awsome ... waiting to learn more from u
Well made video, and exceptional quality for the size of your channel.
Man, I love your work. I just wish it was a little longer.
Just discovered your channel from a Tom Scott video from 4 years ago, keep it up mate you'll make it big one day
Keep up the good work! Love your workk
Excellent vid sir. Please keep at it!
Thank you so much brother, this was really helpful
Wow.. you explained it well🔥👍, thankyou
Dude wtf! You deserve like 10 milion subscribers! Yoour videos are such high quality! Keep up the awesome work dude!

We use smart glass in one of the escape rooms where I work - glad to know how it works now!
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
Great video, thank you and welcome on my subscription list :)

Cool, where did you buy the sheet and switch?
It’s like one giant pixel, without color or a backlight!
Appreciate the info and understanding. Question can this be triggered by sunlight? Like a photocell?
Cool ❤️
Came here for Mixed Reality Smart Glasses, but this is cool too. I bet the next video will talk about smart 🥂
So if the power shuts off all the walls in glass offices just go opaque
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.

You probably can, idk how the electrodes work, but I would assume they either have micro wires running inside the film, or either they use a conductive coating, I would guess it is some sort of silver oxide. In that case you could make it any shape you want

@@victornpb I believe this uses indium tin oxide sheet electrodes on either side of the polymer sheet. indium tin oxide is preferred for applications such as these because it is transparent. It is also used in touch screens of smart phones.

You can also just add tint/frosting to smart-glass like normal 👍 There are buses/trains where people on the outside see the entire side of the vehicle looking like a single painted on image (including the windows) and they cannot see the passengers; however the passengers can see out the windows from inside with the translucent image only barely visible! On some passenger trains in Asia (in Japan iirc) they've additionally made the windows with smart-glass on lines that travel really close to high-rise apartment buildings. When the train is passing the apartments the windows are turned opaque for the privacy of the tenants! Its a pretty cool practical usage 💯
good vid
Just watched tom scott’s video that featured you. *YOUR VOICE IS SO DEEP NOW*

I love how you can see the shadow change behind you
Can you please explain what your map in the background is showing? Why are some countries the same colour as the ocean?
So where does one buy one of these sheets from?
Haven't been on this channel since 2016, how things change! Is the dog still alive?

How long do they last?
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.

There are two versions - one is built into the glass and the other is a sheet (similar to standard window tint) - using the second option - it's 100% possible.

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

they are suspended in liquid so brownian motion can shuffle the crystals in random orientations. This is the same principle a calculator lcd works it is just lacking the polarizers, your window is just a giant pixel.
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!!
can IR see thru it?
Good idea for Motorcycle plate
i can´t wait untill it starts getting popular
I wonder how much power these panes draw
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.

How To Make This Please Make Video Please
Hey bro, if you ever want a free editor let me know, love your videos
Do they make these licence plate size? Asking for a friend
any way to get the same but instead of turn it opaque, turn it "mirror" from only one side like police station interrogation rooms?
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.

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.

regular glass blocks UVB light (the cancer causing one). UVA still comes through (that's the wrinkles causing one).

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.

This glass may make Google glass great again i think.
1:28 "anseeotropic" I think you mean "an-ISO-tropic"
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.
MRI works same
imagine doing this with invisible coaks
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

No it is. In it's off state it is not clear. Therefore if the power goes out the "window" would just be like a wall

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

When glass is powered off is when its private. As it's powered on is when it becomes see through. Meaning you actually only use power the time spent looking through it.
damn that dislike ratio
Imagine using electricity so that your glass is see through
