Beautifying wood with fire Yakisugi is a traditional Japanese wood surface treatment technique, using fire.
Cavitation in a glass water bottle Cavitation in a glass water bottle being hit by a hammer. Cavitation is a phenomenon in which the static pressure of a liquid drops below the boiling pressure of the liquid, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities within the liquid. At higher pressure, these cavities collapse and can create shock waves that can damage the container. Video in slow motion at 82.000 frames per second from them "The Slow Mo Guys".
Rail welding Although in the past the rails had to have a gap between them to cope with temperature expansion/contraction, this technique is no longer applied to high-speed trains. The rails are welded together for several kilometers, and then heated to a high temperature to fully expand. Rail fasteners use very high clamping force, and so the contraction is much less. A second technique is the expansion joint, which may be different: it is no longer a mere gap, but a smooth joint where the two rails are side by side and when they grow or shrink in length they can slide next to each other.

Transparent lid in motorcycle engine In a motorcycle engine, the cylinder head is made of a thick piece of plexiglass allows to observe the explosions produced by the spark plug. The last, present in spark ignition engines (two-stroke or four-stroke), ignites the gas mixture in the combustion chamber. For this purpose, They must be able to create thousands of arcs per minute, while withstanding the heat and pressure generated by the explosion inside the cylinder. The final plexiglass will not withstand the high temperature and pressure, and the spark plug will leave his post.
