Abstract: A new process of microwave glass heating reflects trends of glass industrial research towards ecological and energy saving aspects. Moreover, any glass cullets or raw batch materials can be melted by this microwave method. The quality of glass is saved during this process. However, the modification of glass to get a material of improved properties (e.g. mechanical resistance, morfology, microstructure) is possible and provides the opportunity to demonstrate glass blowing at exhibitions and fairs. The mobile furnace has been applied in laboratories, glass studios, glass works, and glass schools.
