VIDEO: The glass highway
They say a photo (or in this case, a video) is worth a thousand words, so I will keep this short.
In this frustrating economic environment, sometimes it's easy for me to get bogged down by falling ABI numbers and gloomy construction forecasts. Then I see videos like this, and I'm reminded that the future of the glass industry is bright: very bright.
Our industry, and those working in concert with it, continue to make product advancements that stretch the limits of glass applications, and the imagination. I continually see products and projects featuring glass in new and innovative ways, and that makes the glass industry an exciting place to be.
Will we live in a world where our highways are made of glass solar panels like those in this video? Will glaziers installing BIPV today be installing solar highways tomorrow? Who knows? But it's interesting to think about.

Solar sidewalks makes added sense. The capital botheration I see is aliment of the bottle roadway. Tiny clay particles and dust, forth with billions of caster strokes, will bullwork grooves into the bottle and brightness it to a mirror finish. Eventually, it will be beat away. And the vibrations, both absolute and sonic will fatigue any ambit lath or wiring. Sidewalks on the added duke are hardly anytime replaced or crave aliment for decades if ever.frases de amor & jogos de motos

They're alive on acute means of abacus arrangement to the bottle so that it about becomes a non-slip surface. Appealing amazing. From what I've apparent (during a brace visits to PennState, area they're accomplishing some of the research), it seems appealing do-able. We'll see how it turns out! Hopefully they can accomplish it happen.play games online & gold miner

I have been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before. Hair growth period

their own way, versus 33 percent who think men should foot the bill. But 59 percent of men think they should cover the tab, at least until a relationship is established.
