| Summary | "Experimental Glass Blowing for Boys" by Carleton John Lynde is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This instructional book is geared towards young readers, particularly boys, guiding them through a variety of hands-on experiments involving glass blowing techniques. The work explores the properties of glass and its manipulation in an educational context. The book presents a series of experiments that demonstrate the processes of heating, bending, cutting, and shaping glass tubing. Each experiment provides detailed instructions and encourages practical engagement, allowing boys to create items such as balloons, submarines, siphons, and even simple air guns from glass. The text emphasizes the scientific principles underpinning these techniques, explaining concepts like atmospheric pressure, buoyancy, and the nature of materials. The blend of hands-on activities and scientific inquiry fosters curiosity and learning about both physics and artistry in glasswork. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
