Snapped wheel bolts are best removed by welding on a nut. The heat of the welding also helps.
Shirley heating a seized bolt is the opposite of what you want, as it will expand.

Your thinking is sound, but the reality is that no two materials expand at the same rate, so heating anything will help to break the adhesion.

Heat or cold both work the same way - the two materials respond slightly differently so helps to break the corrosion bond.

Induction heaters are great bits of kit for this.

I absolutely agree. They're quite expensive so I've always shied away from buying one but I've been fortunate to have borrowed one twice now and it was an absolute game changer. Can't imagine having to apply an oxy-acetylene torch to an engine bay to remove a broken stud these days. I'd be fearful about what else I might be BBQing.

They would not work with snapped wheel bolts as the coil would stop you getting it anywhere near the bolt/head.

Pretty hefty laminated glass, 20mm isn't unusual. As you can see it has to be able to resist solid water being shipped over the bow, which applies a lot of pressure. However if there's stty weather forecast like that metal shutters will be fitted over them which have small slits in to allow the bridge crew to still see a little, but when when it's like that visibility is generally so bad the radar is doing the heavy lifting.
