Good job man! I've been blowing glass for 7 years now. Happiest decision I have made in my life. Add me on my Instagram pages phantomfoxglass and fire.fox6
MadSpacePig Or use a liquid that has a bigger intermolecular force, if the van der walls forces are stronger than the contact with the glass it will also form a bubble
You answer - fill the glass alllllllll the way up to the top, until the surface tension is holding the water a bit above the rim of the glass. That'll make the sides stay down towards the glass, raising the middle, allowing you to float the cork in the middle.
Adding dishsoap to the water eliminates surface tension. This way the water wouldn't stick to the rim and the convex shape is gone. The Kork stays in the middle when you place it there.
Well the answer to this problem is easy. Get a smaller cup. So the water that used to fill the first cup half-way fills this new cup to the brim and a bit more. Water still sticks, or adheres, to the glass, and when there's just a bit more water than the glass can hold the excess forms a "bulge" in the centre as the edges stick to the glass. That way cork will float to the centre as that is the highest point now. (To be honest I knew the answer already, but still thought I'd post it because why not.)
To get the cork to float in the middle you can fill the glass to the absolute top so that surface tension makes the surface of the water slightly higher than the edge.
You can make the cork float at the middle of the glass by floating it in milk which has a higher surface tension, making it form a bubble. The cork will then flow at the top/middle.
If you fill the glass up all the way to the top so the water goes slightly above the rim of the glass, the cork will float in the middle, since it's higher than the edges. I think. Maybe?
to make the cork float in the middle add water to the glass with the cork still in it until the water overfills the glass and forms a convex shape due to surface tension
Might not be the most practical solution to the floating in the middle problem but you could either coat the inside of the glass with Teflon or you could use mercury instead of water. Maybe some dishwashing fluid would do the trick, too. Or petrol?
Also, now that I think of it, it doesn't even have to be milk like I suggested earlier, it can just be water, as long as you fill the glass to the top and then surface tension will take further care of it.
To get the cork to float in the middle is to line the inner walls with water repellent substance (e.g. vaseline), that way the water will not "stick" to the walls and take a convex shape.
My hypothesis: You could get the cork to float in the middle by filling the glass past the rim. The surface tension will allow you to keep adding water past the top of the glass, and it will create a dome of water where the cork will float at the very top (if placed extremely carefully). I'm going to experiment when I get home
This is one of the things I've got on my bucket list. I want to make a replica of an ancient Roman pitcher. There's a glass studio in Minneapolis that's similar to the one you went to.
My guess is that the glass's (Is that gramatically correct?) inner walls could be hydrophobic, so the water wouldn't be higher on the edges, maging everything leveled and thus the cork could float in the middle. I don't actually know if this would work, I'm just taking a guess.
my guess on how to get the cork to float in the middle is to fill the glass all the way to the top. this way the meniscus reverses to put the highest point actually ABOVE the rim of the glass
Time to start cranking out some Prince Rupert's Drops for Destin. And, shoutout to San Jose. Get La Victoria's and some orange sauce next time you're down here.
I'm sure this has been answered, but you fill the glass until the water is just slightly above the rim, with surface tension making a sort of extremely flattened dome shape. At this point, the highest point on the water is in the center.
Easy: I discovered the answer to this one by floating balls of was covered clay in a tea candle full of water. You just have to fill it up past the rim so the same grippiness makes the water bulge out. Thus the highest point is in the middle.
Did you have to pay for the glass class? I might have to find a class here in Austin. Starting in the fall, too damn hot now. Are you really tall or was they guy short?
How tall are you? You look huge, that can be explained by your Belgium heritage since they are the second largest people. Only second to the Netherlands, which is my motherland
Either Treg is short or you are tall or that is a cool perspective trick. Also, nice shirt, I love it! And you are doing something I have always wanted to do so please don't mind me as I live vicariously through you. 😛A question for you: I have heard it said that glass, even when hardened, is still like a liquid in the sense that is _very slowly_ flows and that it flows because it doesn't crystallize. Is this true or have I been misinformed? You did a good job! Finally, you need to make the water form a concave shape, so coating the inside sides of the glass with a hydrophobic substance would cause that to happen.
I've always wanted to take a glass blowing class. My friend took a class and she loved it. She told me "When blowing glass...blow... don't inhale... unless you want your lungs burning like Satan's butthole." I guess inhaling is a bad thing.
BoJack Horseman, Coffee, Airports, Seinfeld, and more coming this fall to Technicality. Get hyped and stay tuned. Love y'all ✌
Technicality BOJACK :DDDDDD

Fill up the glass until the water makes a very slight convex bubble over the top due to surface tension. The edges are then lower then the centre.
MadSpacePig Or use a liquid that has a bigger intermolecular force, if the van der walls forces are stronger than the contact with the glass it will also form a bubble
You mean, like Mercury?
The question did include the word water, but that would work also yes.
I was thinking of coating the glass with a hydrophobic material, but your idea is better
Am I allowed to be weirdly excited about this
Waseem H I am too, don’t worry 😅
Sameeee. I wanna do this now lmao
I didn't know Wendover had a 3rd channel where he shows himself.
Add some soap to the water to break the surface tension
Fill the glass with other corks and then put it in the center
Benjamin Fraeyman this is my favorite response so far
Adam N haha thanks :)
You answer - fill the glass alllllllll the way up to the top, until the surface tension is holding the water a bit above the rim of the glass. That'll make the sides stay down towards the glass, raising the middle, allowing you to float the cork in the middle.

3:35 r/dontputyourdickinthat
you’re not wrong
Ohgodthat'sarealthing
Of course that's a real thing.
This video blew my mind.
(Yes, I literally watched through the whole video, just to see if you would make that pun)
Well the answer to this problem is easy. Get a smaller cup.
So the water that used to fill the first cup half-way fills this new cup to the brim and a bit more. Water still sticks, or adheres, to the glass, and when there's just a bit more water than the glass can hold the excess forms a "bulge" in the centre as the edges stick to the glass. That way cork will float to the centre as that is the highest point now.
(To be honest I knew the answer already, but still thought I'd post it because why not.)
With soap or detergent. They have surfactants that lower water’s surface tension, so the water won’t climb at the sides of the glass.
To get the cork to float in the middle you can fill the glass to the absolute top so that surface tension makes the surface of the water slightly higher than the edge.
You can make the cork float at the middle of the glass by floating it in milk which has a higher surface tension, making it form a bubble. The cork will then flow at the top/middle.
As for making the cork float in the center, i would think that having a dome shape at the bottom of the glass would help
This is an amazing video. Mike makes amazing content and this video really embodies both of your content.
If you fill the glass up all the way to the top so the water goes slightly above the rim of the glass, the cork will float in the middle, since it's higher than the edges. I think. Maybe?
Coat the glass inside with wax or grease, which is hydrophobic. This then makes the meniscus turn down, and the cork floats in the centre.
How did I go from watching videos on skateboarding, to this? Somehow... I actually enjoy it 😂

Could you potentially put a punt in the bottom of the glass like a bottle? That might make it float in the center.
To get the cork to float in the middle is to line the inner walls with water repellent substance (e.g. vaseline), that way the water will not "stick" to the walls and take a convex shape.
awesome work! Nice glass. Fill your glass with oil, to make the cork float in the middle. (perhaps?)
My hypothesis: You could get the cork to float in the middle by filling the glass past the rim. The surface tension will allow you to keep adding water past the top of the glass, and it will create a dome of water where the cork will float at the very top (if placed extremely carefully). I'm going to experiment when I get home
To make the cork float on the center you would need a liquid that forms a convex meniscus, like mercury.
This is one of the things I've got on my bucket list. I want to make a replica of an ancient Roman pitcher. There's a glass studio in Minneapolis that's similar to the one you went to.
Add a lil bump on the bottom of the glass, like a kinda dimple on the bottom
Coat the glass with a hydrophobic substance or choose a liquid with more cohesion instead of adhesion.
My guess is that the glass's (Is that gramatically correct?) inner walls could be hydrophobic, so the water wouldn't be higher on the edges, maging everything leveled and thus the cork could float in the middle. I don't actually know if this would work, I'm just taking a guess.
I'm really impressed for your first try! Good job! :)
Awesome video presence. Keep it up bud
fill the cup to the brim, causing the water to form a convex surface, then place the cork?

I’d buy that cup, bowl, flower, and chewed up leaf in a heartbeat

Freeze the water and place it in the center duh
lancaster was *boppin*
*_B O P P I N_*
I like the new thumbnails as well
to make the cork float in the middle, fill the cup all the way up, till you have a positive a convex meniscus.
Coat the inside of the glass cup with a hydrophobic coating. That way the surface tension will cause the water to assume a convex shape
Maybe coating the cup in a hydrophobic coating so that it doesn't stick to the edges?
Easy: I discovered the answer to this one by floating balls of was covered clay in a tea candle full of water. You just have to fill it up past the rim so the same grippiness makes the water bulge out. Thus the highest point is in the middle.
FREAKING AMAZING. ALMOST AS AMAZING AS YOUR HAT.
Awesome video!! 😃
Did you have to pay for the glass class? I might have to find a class here in Austin. Starting in the fall, too damn hot now. Are you really tall or was they guy short?
Your CV must be amazing!
Add a drop of detergent to the glass. It'll break the water's surface tension, preventing it from climbing the side of the glass.
Did you really just make a Shrek reference at 5:57? haha ily
This blew me away
Amazing!
Make hydrophobic cup?
speaking of Lancaster, i know people who used to deal weed there
Impressive, most impressive.
How tall are you? You look huge, that can be explained by your Belgium heritage since they are the second largest people. Only second to the Netherlands, which is my motherland
2000°F and 500 lbs at 3:09. Fahrenheit and pounds... Could you also write the metric units? D:
Glassblowing is a beautiful art that all types of people can enjoy 👌
Pipe making is my personal favourite

Wow, Tom was right, you will take over his job someday...

When did Coral become a youtuber?
Belgium :D

@Technicality Fill the glass with Mercury
Also, siked you made this, loved how your glass turned out 😂👌
Dump out the water. But cork in middle. Done.
Never thought I would see a glory hole on this channel.
My parents even like your videos!
Stir the water first...?
Getting the liquid spinning will create a lower centre and higher sides.
Firssssst also i love Mike Boyd so I'm glad you did this video
Your relatable
I'd buy a spoon pipe from you if you made one
Just put some soap in there to break up the water tension on the meniscus
aaaaah ..... sooooooo sooo oh sooo sooo many lewd jokes in my head right now.
holding them all
its soooo hard being a grown up sometime XD
yeah.. i like watching your videos.. kinda different 😁
Oooo early squadd wassup guysss
Pour oil in it
Ya know music is just wiggly air 😂😂😂🔊
Hello
IllidanS4 hi
hey guys i have been traveling through YURP
F for the glass
To answer your question... Look at wine bottles
other liquid
Dude we spending money on fortnite and this kid is literally doing glass blowing
carl
Add soap yeet
Must be me but when I hear glory hole I think of something different ;)
i mean you could hold the cork still ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
F
First
slow down man
