Glass is made from melting silica or sand (Silicon Dioxide DiO2) at extremely high temperatures. SiO2 in its crystalline form is known as quartz.

The main ingredient in glass is therefore quartz (as washed sand) mixed with a little sodium oxide Na2O and calcium oxide (CaO) or quicklime. These ingredients are mixed together and placed in a furnace until they all form a melt. The melt is glass.

Other additives can be added to the mix to make specialized glasses.

How Can you tell if a car fuse is bad by looking at it?

Looking at a fuse may not necessarily tells, if it is bad. There are many different types of fuses. Some you can see through and some you cannot see through physically. The ones you are able to see through are most times made of a GLASS STRUCTURE, which enable you to actually take a close look on the inside of that glass casing to see if there is a break in its connection link.This link or Bi-metal ( the links are called BI_METAL, FUSE ELEMENT, FUSE WIRE etc...) is act as a protection in the event there is a fault or problem in its circuit, to break easily. If your fuse is one that you cannot see through, then you must use an electrical meter to detect whether it's good or bad. Preferably measure fuse when it is taken out of its circuit.
