How Bulletproof glass works?

Shattering the science behind what makes the breakable unbreakable

Bullet-resistant glass works by absorbing a bullet’s kinetic (movement) energy and dissipating it across a larger area. Multiple layers of toughened glass are reinforced with alternated layers of polycarbonate – a tough but ﬂ exible transparent plastic which retains the see-through properties of glass. As a bullet strikes the ﬁ rst glass layer, the polycarbonate layer behind it forces the glass to shatter internally rather than outwards.

This process absorbs some of the bullet’s kinetic energy. The high velocity impact also ﬂ attens the bullet’s head. Imagine trying to pierce through a sheet of cotton with the top end of a pencil. It would be very difﬁ cult compared to using the sharp pointed end. The same principle applies here. The ﬂ at-headed bullet struggles to penetrate the layer of polycarbonate. As the bullet travels through each layer of glass and polycarbonate, the process is repeated until it no longer has the speed and shape to exit the ﬁnal layer.

Why do the Indian telecom operators offer their services with 28 days validity, not 30 days?😡😡

Here telecom operator are very clever, b ecause telecom operators want to earn money of 13 months instead of 12 months. Let do the calculation and find out why telecom operators are offering 28 days validity. Each month they get 2 days more, therefore in a year they get additional 24 days. There are 7 month which has 31 days so they get additional 7 days.Now in case of February ,it has only 28 days not 30. So the total number of days they get are=24+7-2=29 days. So if you recharge 12 times then more 29 days are left in a year.🤔🤔 Means for another 29 days you have to recharge from that telecom operator.😫😫 So you have to recharge 13 times in a year instead of 12 times in a year. So telecom operators provide 28 days validity only. First one telecom operator started and then another telecom operators also understood this concept and they also applied 28 days validity both in data packs and voice packs.😱😱😱

1/ The speed of light is generally rounded down to 186,000 miles per second. In exact terms it is 299,792,458 m/s (metres per second - that is equal to 186,287.49 miles per second). 2/ It takes 8 minutes 17 seconds for light to travel from the Sun's surface to the Earth. 3/ October 12th, 1999 was declared \\"The Day of Six Billion\\" based on United Nations projections. 4/ 10 percent of all human beings ever born are alive at this very moment. 5/ The Earth spins at 1,000 mph but it travels through space at an incredible 67,000 mph. 6/ Every year over one million earthquakes shake the Earth. 7/ When Krakatoa erupted in 1883, its force was so great it could be heard 4,800 kilometres away in Australia. 8/ The largest ever hailstone weighed over 1kg and fell in Bangladesh in 1986. 9/ Every second around 100 lightning bolts strike the Earth. 10/ Every year lightning kills 1000 people. 11/ In October 1999 an Iceberg the size of London broke free...

How Electronic ink works?

Used increasingly in digital products, how does this technology work? Electronic ink (or electrophoretic ink) consists of millions of microcapsules. Each one contains positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles, all suspended within a clear ﬂuid. When these microcapsules are subjected to a positive or negative electric ﬁeld, the corresponding particles rise to the top, becoming visible to the eye and colouring that microcapsule. eBook reader displays coat electronic ink onto a sheet of plastic ﬁlm, which in turn is laminated to a layer of circuitry. This circuitry forms a pattern of pixels that can be controlled by the display’s software driver, allowing images and text to be displayed in the form of a traditional page of physical paper. Electronic ink displays differ from LCDs by utilising ambient light to illuminate pixels, with the rays merely reﬂecting off their surface. This means they have very low power demand, a...
