Any ceramic can be used to break windows, basically any hard substance formed into a small point will break a window as it is focusing all the impact force to a small area. Car windows are made with toughned glass that makes it considerably harder to break than normal household annealed glass. when you overcome the breaking strength of toughned glass it shatters and crumbles into small pieces that become less dangerous in an accident the exception to this is the glass used in car windscreens which is laminated safety glass this is two sheets laminated together a layer of vynl which will allow the glass to break but remain in place.

From the question, I can only assume your rotors are warped. Replace the OEM ones with quality brand like Brembo and install ceramic pads that will reduce heat and help prevent warping.

Degradation of the ceramic in a spark plug?

Please understand I am only commenting about the ceramic in a Autolite Spark Plug. All plug manufacturers have differing ceramic technology and integrity. Mechanical integrity-no degradation would occur at all pretty much regardless of environment. To quote our ceramics engineer- " you could bury one of our plugs and dig it up 200 years later and perform mechanical testing on it, and it would pass all tests with flying colors" Dialectric Integrity- Same thing, there is simply no degradation not only over the life of the plug, actually much longer than that. Now, that being said, there are issues that can have an effect on ceramic degradation or integrity. If the spark plug gap wears to the point that it requires near maximum coil output to fire consistently, electricity likes to find the easiest path to ground. A coil firing in this manner will spend plenty of time trying to punch through the ceramic. Another issue is when you have an engine running less than optimal air fuel ratios (rich), the plug can become fouled with carbon tracks that do conduct electricity and will cause the spark plug to either not fire or misfire. Let me know if this answers your question or you are seeking something more specific.


Which is better kevlar or ceramic field hockey stick?

Nobody makes ceramic hockey sticks (and I would wonder why if they did - ceramic is not the best thing to hit other stuff with), so kevlar/carbon fibre is the only answer.

You broke a plug trying to remove it what is the best way to get it out?

Usually if you break a plug it is only the top white ceramic part. The only time this would be a problem is if your plugs are in the top of the head and down in a hole. They do make needle nose pliers long enough to reach down and get the plug. The ceramic part should have come out with the socket if using a regular spark plug socket. That would leave just the base. Take the socket and put a piece of tape on the inside of the socket on each face. Bring it out over the edge of the socket and onto the outside. This will make the socket enough smaller that it should hold on to the base of the spark plug so you can get it out.
