Why do fans have only 3 blades and not more then it?
However, for domestic ceiling fans, three blades turn out to be optimal for air delivery and cooling comfort. ...

How glass is made
The first archeological evidence of glass manufacture comes from areas of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. In those times the only glass product that were made were created either by glazing premade objects, or beads that were formed accidentally in other of other metalwork's processes. By the late Bronze Age the process of glassmaking evolved into more organized profession, with works pouring molten glass into premade containers
sand (which consists of silica, soda ash and lime) is heated to extreme temperatures, and then is allowed to cool down and be shaped into almost any form by either blowing or pouring in pre-designed molds. This extremely easy process can also be enriched with additives, which can provide glass with every color or opacity imaginable, improve quality, durability and other properties.
