our 2013 CES coverage is powered by Ford go further I'm Erin Baker from TechnoBuffalo and let's be honest you've probably been there before - I know I have you've been there you'd break your screen on your phone and you're like oh no what am I going to do with this cracked screen warnings got a solution with the Gorilla Glass 3 and they're showing it off here at Capcom at CES 2013 in Las Vegas let's take a look at a demo so here we have the alternative alumina silicate glass you see there there's a scratch visible on the sample we have a 130 grand ball and we're going to hit this with a 10 degree incline I'm going to go ahead and see what happens with example see that sample that has that characteristic cracking associated with the scratch is very strengthening we could take Gorilla Glass 3 put in the same exact setup go ahead and like rule a glass 3 run no fracture scratch is still present with Gorilla Glass 3 we have increased the retained strength so what we're going to do is we're going to ratchet this up three times more energy on impacts and just to show you the amount of energy what we've done is we've taken a piece of aluminum put it in the sink holder and we're just going to demonstrate what happens to a piece of aluminum that's the same thickness as the glass when we impact with the ball of this angle just give you an idea of the dentist again aluminum sheet we can take that same setup with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 go ahead and knock that one see the rebound still no failure in the glass sample and we can take this sample even further by unloading it bringing it over here to this industry standard ring on ring test where we can load this sample all the way up to a hundred pounds of force without breaking it still intact that's the value we brought with last week thanks to Ford for powering our CES coverage you
