Alright, so let me tell you about this whole thing with the Tovia Carsover EC glass and the girls’ tennis team. It all started when I noticed our school’s tennis team was always squinting under the sun. They’re good kids, really dedicated, but that glare was killing them, and it got me thinking.
I started digging around, you know, just to see what could be done. Found out about this Tovia Carsover EC glass. Apparently, it’s supposed to be some kind of miracle glass that can adjust to sunlight. Sounded too good to be true, but hey, I was curious.
Getting the Stuff
First thing I did was try to get my hands on some of this glass. It wasn’t as easy as walking into a store, I can tell you that. Had to call a few places, and finally found a supplier who was willing to sell me a sample.
- Called supplier A – No luck, they only dealt with huge orders.
- Called supplier B – Bingo! They were willing to send a sample.
- Waited – Took a week, but the sample finally arrived.
Figuring It Out
Got the glass, and now came the hard part, figuring out how it worked. It looked like regular glass, but supposedly it could change tint. I messed around with it, shone lights on it, the whole nine yards. It was pretty cool watching it go from clear to dark. Took some time, but I eventually got the hang of it.
- Tested in sunlight – Placed it outside on a sunny day.
- Checked tint changes – Watched it darken gradually.
- Played with controls – Found a way to adjust the tint manually.
Putting It Together
Once I figured out the glass, I thought, why not build something for the tennis team? I came up with this idea to make visors. Got some basic visor frames, and started working on fitting the glass in. It wasn’t easy, had to cut the glass to size, make sure it fit just right. Lots of trial and error here, let me tell you.
- Bought visor frames – Got some cheap ones from a sports store.
- Cut the glass – Carefully cut it to fit the frames.
- Assembled the visors – Fitted the glass into the frames, secured it with some adhesive.
Seeing It in Action
Finally, I had a few visors ready. Took them down to the tennis court, and let the girls try them out. At first, they were just curious, but once they put them on and started playing, you could see the difference. They weren’t squinting anymore, and they seemed way more comfortable. It was a pretty great feeling, seeing them use something I made.
- Presented to the team – Showed them the visors, explained how they worked.
- Observed their practice – Watched them play with the visors on.
- Got feedback – They loved them, said it made a huge difference.
So yeah, that’s the story of how I ended up making these light-adjusting visors for our school’s tennis team. It was a lot of work, but seeing those girls play without struggling with the sun made it all worth it. It’s funny how one little idea can turn into something pretty big. And hey, who knows what I’ll tinker with next?
