[MINDMAP] how to break glass



  • Use another Bottle --- use one bottle to hit another one, both will break.

  • Burn/Heat --- Use high temperature to melt it. Glasses' melting point is 600 ÂșC. It is feasible to melt it at home. Here is a YouTube video teaching us how to melt a glass at home.


  • Use a BB Gun --- Instead of real bullet, this guns use some small plastic beads. But it hurts when shoot out from the gun.
  • Use acid --- Hydrofluoric acid (HF) have the ability to dissolve glass. This acid is so strong almost can dissolve everything. So it need to be put in special plastic bottles. (Line to more intro)

  • Use Laser --- Laser cutting machine can cut glasses. The radio on the right side is an example of laser cut the glass. →→

  • Pressure --- Add pressure always can break the glass. For example, use a yoyo to hit. Drive over the glass. Punch it, drop it from high level, throw it to the wall or use water guns (water pressure). 


  • Opera voice --- This Video is a test about using human voice to break the glass. The result shows it is possible to break the glass with opera voice.  

[MINDMAP] How to save the Earth


We live in the one and only Earth, but these years more and more natural disaster comes out. Rising global temperatures, Earthquake, Drouth are warning people to save our mother earth!

4 Main point of how to save the earth is 3Rs(reduce, reuse,recycle), save energy, save water and eat vegetable. 


3R's --- 3R's including Reduce Reuse and Recycle. Reduce means to bring down the number. We can use both side of papers to reduce papers. Reduce food waste is another way to save the earth. Reuse including clothes, paper bags. They can be used for several times. To use again in another form is recycle. A lot of things can be recycle. Newspapers, boxes, cans, plastic bottles all can be recycled. 3R's can help to save resources. It is a way to save the earth.

Save water --- Water is a limited resources but it is also a necessity good. Even though the earth is covered by water, there is only 1% of water can be use by human. Other are all salt water. We can save water by use a cup when brushing teeth, take a shorter shower and soon. 


Save energy --- Energy here is more about electricity and gas. Use walk instead of taking cars or bus. Use compact fluorescent bulbs. Turn Down water heater when you are not using. Use stair instead of elevator. Turn computer off when not in use. These are all method we can do to save energy.

Eat vegetable --- Also means save animals. Because meat makes less efficient land, soil, water. It does not means everyone need to be a vegetarian. What we can do is have a "no meat day" every week to protect our environment. Meanwhile plant more trees to help the earth.

There is a video on YouTube talking about how to save our world which i think is really interesting.
