Abstract: Milan Hájek, M.Sc., a scientist from the microwave laboratory of the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals, invented a glass furnace working on microwave energy. This invention (the first of its kind in the world) was represented at the International Conference of Glass Technology held at the Hilton Hotel in Prague in June this year. Artists from the Studio of Blown Glass in Nový Bor demonstrated the possibilities of its application. Participants at the conference had an opportunity to see, with their own eyes, the conjunction of microwave energy with the historical tradition of Czech glass production. |
