Watch the 8-minute video via Advantages of Transparent Aluminum

Did you know that transparent aluminum is already present among us?

In the film Star trek IV - The return home released in 1986

transparent aluminum appears as a novelty.

Have you ever imagined glasses with lighter, more rigid and resistant lenses

made of transparent aluminum?

Observe this experiment with aluminum first.

With a simple aluminum sheet subjected to the flames of a small torch

see what happens.

Otherwise, observe the same experiment

made with the bottom of a small aluminum can.

Note that the aluminum can does not puncture, but lets light through it.

See in the sequence another experiment with a tin made with steel plate.

And to think that everything starts from simple experiences with some nuances

until something totally unusual is achieved and the end justifies the means.

What if I told you that transparent aluminum is not aluminum or even metal?

Developed by the United States Naval Research Laboratory

transparent aluminum or ALONtm will certainly bring about a huge revolution

for the construction industry and also for the automobile industry.

Among its many qualities, its lightness, strength and rigidity stand out.

The most intriguing thing about this is that the transparent aluminum

it is not a new type of aluminum, let alone any new type of metal.

What we see is a piece of crystallized and transparent ceramic

idealized from the composition of aluminum powder, nitrogen and oxygen

molded in plates and subjected to high temperatures under vacuum pressure.

In the end after that everything is still polished.

The initial purpose was to compose armored cars and windows for American aircraft.

Currently, it is known that transparent aluminum is present

in the windows of the International Space Station

and can be used on hard hats, cell phones, windows and roofs.

Otherwise, there is a huge interest in civil construction to incorporate this material

and the auto industry already runs several experiments to offer

better quality in the armor of your vehicles.

All this, thanks to its transparency and enormous resistance

against impacts, explosions and very high temperatures.

Bring your ideas and leave your comments on the channel.

A big hug and better days!
