Why can’t diamonds break car windows as easily as ceramic shards?
In: Physics
I thought diamond would do a good job at breaking tempered glass. Mostly its just concentrating the force, which is where broken shards of ceramic might shine as they can be incredibly sharp. But its also hardness, which we know diamond is very hard. Depending on the shape of the diamond I imagine it would be pretty effective, and especially so if it was designed for it.
Can you share where you read that it would not be as effective at breaking glass compared to ceramic? I am curious as well. Thanks!
