https://www.cnn.com/science/superwood-10-times-stronger-than-steel-spcWhat are the political implications of wood that is stronger and lighter than steel? Can it be sharpened? Can it be used to manufacture firearms? If so, metal detectors are about to become nigh useless. Will we see mass deforestation? A severe blow to the value of the steel industry? Is this going to change body armor? Vehicles? Infrastructure?
Imagine the pointy sticks you could make
>>518883011My next vampire stake would be the last one I need to get.
>up to 10 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steelnothing burger fake newsexecute all journalists
>>518882902Thanks. Now when I superwould superfuck a girl, I’ll have the image to express that
>>518882902Superwood is what Ops mom calls me
>>518883011Or AR15 receivers.
>>518882902BRING BACK WOODEN AUTOMOBILES NOW
>>518882902I'm getting some superwood as we speak.
>>518883207What... would the boomers say?
>>518882902Where's the demonstration?
>>518883243If it really is stronger than steel the automotive jew probably won't allow it because it doesn't adhere to crumple zones (they won't be able to sell a new car after every accident)
>>518883370Crumple zones are for safety
Sounds superhard to work with. Do I need to buy a fucking adamatium miter saw?
>>518883439>Crumple zones are for safetyCrumple zones are so cars dont survive accidents that they used to and to force people to buy new cars more frequently.
>>518882902just use lignum vitae
>>518883304>"What??! Wood?" the boomers say
>>518882902Took inspiration from my pp, I deserve some credit.
>>518882902>chemically engineered wood that is 90% petroleum-based expoy is stronger high carbon steel from the 17th century >more news at 11
>>518883070Well, how much heavier is steel than wood? about 5 times? even if so, it would still be twice as good with the same amount of material
>>518883493Nah, just buy some wood glue and it's probably not abrasion-proof as it's wood, so you can stick on on and sand it down to fit. Might be a good material for doors, zogpolice think they've got an easy door to break in but it's superwood. also probably armour piercing arrows for when they break through.
>>518883513This is what a jewish shill looks like. Constantly argue against objective reality and logical thinking. Next he'll say seatbelts are bad too for some cock nut reason.
>>518882902instead of trying to invent a super strong cardboard..why don't you just build with brics and concrete?! it just works
>>518882902>What are the political implications of wood that is stronger and lighter than steel?none>Can it be sharpened?yes, but the edge won't hold. it may be strong in tension/compression but will lack the required hardness>Can it be used to manufacture firearms?yes, grips and stocks>so, metal detectors are about to become nigh uselessno>Will we see mass deforestation?no>A severe blow to the value of the steel industry?no>Is this going to change body armor?no>Vehicles?no>Infrastructure?no
>>518882902WOOD SWORD BROS, WE ARE BACK!!!!
>>518883061You gotta leave those in, like a seal, and then burn them.
>>518882902HELP I'M TRAPPED IN A SECRET LAB THEY ARE RUBBING MY DICK RAW AND USING THE DEAD SKIN CELLS TO MAKE SUPERWOOD
>>518882902Lots of polymers are stronger than steel, even lots of wood is already stronger than steel, Oak is 3 times stronger than basic steel, Balsa wood is 10 times stronger. It's what we call a classic nothing burger.>>518883513Crumple zones exists so that the customer exists to buy a new car after a crash.
>>518883668>This is what a jewish shill looks likeYou're retarded.
>>518883513They increase safety by diffusing force during crashes (aka extreme deceleration) you retarded mutt. You're probably a beaner, arent you?
>>518882902i get superwood when your mom comes over.
>>518883844More than one thing can be true faggot.
>>518882902I've got superwood already.
>>518883805that doesn't sound right. have you tried hardening the steel?
>>518883992No but neither did OP, also hardness isn't same as strength
Can jet fuel melt it?
>>518883844bros...why aren't we driving plastic toy cars?https://www.youtube.com/shorts/la_6s1XnFr8
>>518882902EU brick house spammers btfo. Just in shambles right now.
>>518882902what a coincidence, that's also how my bf calls my penis
>>518884107lmao, he's brown
>>518884067by hardening i really mean heat treatment - quenching and tempering. strength and hardness increases after heat treatment.
>>518883070If you are retarded enough not to understand retarded lies then you deserve being lied toThey are actually creating a selective pressure, making people figure out how to weed out lies.>>518883628It's literally just pressed wood. Wood has a lot of empty space inside of it, they use vacuum or other techniques and then press it together.It's like pressing styrofoam between two slabs
>>518882902How do you create a type of wood? Did the genetically alter trees or something?
>>518883662shitwood already costs a left testicle so I'm not sure a $5000 superwood door is gonna be better than an actual steel one.
>>518883070>>518883628It might be "stronger than steel" in the same way carbon fibre is "stronger than steel".
>>518884067Brunel hardness is defined by deformation under concentrated compression, so it's pretty correlated to compression strength.
>>518882902sounds fake
>>518883833Cant even deny it. You pretend well enough but if all you have is illusion then you're just a joke waiting to be boo'd.
>>518884373>just pressed wood.It's some crazy kinda pressure like diamonds, if you know what I mean
>>518882902>>trusting science after 2020
>>518882902this isn't about raw strength (like absolute tensile strength, where steel still outperforms it, but it is about the strength-to-weight ratio
>>518882902Why exactly 10? Why not 11?low effort.
>>518882902>wooden guns>wooden battleships
>>518882902I am gonna name my dick superwood from now on.
>>518882902I had that name copyrighted for my cock, I'll see them in court.
>>518882902Superwood is when I eat a plate of beets and look at pictures of your mom.
>>518883011if you think about it bullets are also just very short pointy sticks.
>>518882902big deal , that's me every morning.
>>518884860They aren't all pointy
CANADIANS already possess that technology
>>518884752>Why exactly 10? Why not 11?You really think we don't know where you're going with this?REPORTED !
>>518882902Bones are four times stronger than concrete. This means nothing.
>>518884699Incorrect. Steel can bench 1.5 its body weight, while superwood can bench 2.3 its body weight. An increase or decrease in body weight will not change this.
>>518884373you telling me these dudes were the first in history to think about pressing wood?
>>518882902I create this from pure will 100 times a day
>>518882902It's just plastic
>>518885033link me so i can fill up that shit with garbage
>>518882902>CNN science Stopped reading there. I don't need your faggot, tranny, bluehaired freaks telling me their (((expert))) opinions.
>wood stronger than spiderwebs
>>518883061Formica, go figure
>>518884385>in the same way carbon fibre is "stronger than steel".Exactly the same way. It is just a better plywood board.
>>518883805>Balsa wood is 10 times strongerhave you lost your fucking mind?balsa is like the styrofoam of wood.
>>518883370they pressure wood after softening the cell walls i suppose, thus creating a more dense material. whether this really has better characteristics than steel is doubtful. if you read his comment on furniture, this man hasn't got the faintest.>“People always complain that furniture breaks down over time, and that’s often because it sags or breaks down at the joints, which are currently made of metal because wood isn’t strong enough,” said Lau. Superwood could be used to replace these parts, he said, as well as screws, nails and other metal fasteners.
>>518885122It isn't. It's actual wood. They use a chemical procedure to strengthen it. Read the article before posting
>>518885849if I wanted to learn something useful, I wouldn't go on /pol/
>>518885945Without getting too deep into the technical woods, so to speak, they are essentially impregnating wood with dragon semen.
>>518885259https://www.adl.org/report-incident
>>518883439Crumple zones are for profits. When they were easily and cheaply replaced they were called bumpers.
>>518885945what if you wanted to learn about who was behind every politician, illegal immigration, and international conflict
Does jet fuel melt superwood?
>>518883714Favella architecture disgusts me beyond belief, is this a primal fear?
>>518886198He already knows. He works for them. He's here to make the board less entertaining.
>>518882902Can it withstand jet fuel?
>>518882902yeah my penis
>>518883439wouldn't need crumple zones if the frame was made of superwood!!
>>518882902>Can it be used to manufacture firearms?Yes, big bada-boom
GRAB THE WOOD DUDE GRAB THE WOOD!
>>518882902It's always 10 times stronger but brittle as fuck somehow and gives you super cancer.
>“Superwood” has just launched as a commercial product, manufactured by InventWood, a company co-founded by material scientist Liangbing Hu.>Over a decade ago, Hu set out on a quest to reinvent one of the oldest building materials known to humankind. While working at the University of Maryland’s Center for Materials Innovation, Hu, who’s now a professor at Yale, found innovative ways to re-engineer wood. He even made it transparent by removing part of one of its key components, lignin, which gives wood its color and some of its strength.>His real goal, however, was to make wood stronger, using cellulose, the main component of plant fiber and “the most abundant biopolymer on the planet,” according to Hu.>The breakthrough came in 2017, when Hu first strengthened regular wood by chemically treating it to enhance its natural cellulose, making it a better construction material.
>>518886319hm, you are most certainly correct>>518885945IN YOU GO.
>>518883061just need to go for the head
>>518886249yes, it is disgusting
>>518886112Have you watched crash tests between pre crumple-zone and post crumple zone cars? You must be a liberal. Must.
>>518883439To a extent, modern cars are totaled after a minor collision in a parking lot. Some one backs in to my car it's cheaper to scrap it.
So it's just compressed wood?
>>518882902>>518883011Imagine how much jetfuel it'll take to burn through wooden beams
>>518885945I learn something every now and then. But you can't admit that of course, you're just here for the lulz
>>518886112nice pic. the volgas were unironically cool cars. we changed compression and ran them on dirt cheap fuel. sofa on wheels, large as the living room one.
>>518883833>ad hominemjust proving the other anon right
>>518883786>HELP I'M TRAPPED IN A SECRET LAB THEY ARE RUBBING MY DICK RAW AND USING THE DEAD SKIN CELLS TO MAKE SUPERWOODkek
>>518882902this isnt remotely new. iirc the patent for this is from the 60s. nothing new has been invented in over 50 years
>>518886483qrd?
>>518886483green water like that can be a sign of bacteria
>>518882902>Wood stronger than steelBlessed are the sons and daughters of Jurai
>>518886696>>518886112The old cars were indeed more-easily repairable. You’d just have to hose out the former occupants first.
>>518887559that reminds me, why aren't we geneticly engineering trees into sentient space ships yet?
>>518882902OMG Donald! is that Superwood or are you just happy to see me?
>>518882902Nigga I invent that shit every morning when I wake up
>>518888140She's still picking splinters out of her tongue
>>518882902>stronger and lighter than steel?And 10 times more expensive and/or longer to make lmao
>>518882902Would
>>518888090Or Cabbits as pets(and mechsuits). Lots of people would want one.
ITT faggots who think material science is like their anime> Hurrr let's just make cars out of Tungsten Carbide and Depleted Uranium because it has the highest power level
>>518887780The solid steel steering column and lack of seatbeat use/laws killed the most. Collapsing steering column or drive-by-wire systems, airbags, modern seatbelts, modern windshields, and old style bumpers make restored classic cars safer than your crumple zone bullshit.
>>518889239> Drive by wire is saferOnly if you trust them to not use a Jeet to write the code
>>518882902>SuperwoodIt's compressed wood pulp and epoxy isn't it
>>518882902I've had superwood for longer than 4 hours. Do I need to see a doctor?
>>518882902wait until i show u the superwood in my pants
>>518885815>sags or breaks down at the joints, which are currently made of metal because wood isn’t strong enough,”The fuck is he talking about. Wood joinery is much stronger than metal hardware. The screws and fastners are the weak point.
>>518882902They talkin' 'bout my dick.
>>518882902Saved. Baddies reaction folder.
>>518883207I prefer hand guns. what do you think my gun setup that I take to the range twice a week?
>>518882902I've had superwood in my pants ever since those greta swimming pics dropped.
>>518889756>..superwood could be used to replace these parts..lmao. the chutzpah of a chinese salesman
>>518882902journo articles like this are all the sameif you read the paper there's like one specific test they did where it was then 8.9 times as resilient to some freak impact nobody IRL cares aboutmeanwhile in reality whatever they do to the wood, it still fucking burns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CglNRNrMFGM&t=3sit's been around for a while, just suck the ligma out of it. basically humanity found out they can shape materials into forms on the micro levels to give it macro properties, turns out that isn't so easy or cheap at all, but here and there a paper emerges. Just like this one. Yeah nice now try to build a plane with it. Or coat a building. Thought so lmao.tl;dr: you'll never hear of that shite again
>>518884376>how do you create woodThis is my go to pic for that
>>518882902its not stronger than steelit is comparable to steel but more expensive to make
>>518889922Kek
>>518883311here :*unzips dick*
>>518888979Superwould
>>518882902Yeah I got some SUPER WOOD right here between my legs Real hardwood
>>518882902>If so, metal detectors are about to become nigh useless.Just use wood detectors, moron.
>superwood
>>518882902Aye, we be back in business Mateys!
>>518893060That's a moon rock
>>518893347no, that's wood
>>518882902>10x stronger>1000x more expensive Yeah, fuck no.
>>518883207Anon pleaseMy dick can only get so hard
>>518882902May we see it?>No
>>518885815Wow. As a woodworker that hurts.
>>518886696Car crashes are so infrequent that vomiting money into the development of crumple zones is a complete waste of money.
>>518894102>6 car crashes every minute in the US alone Do me a favor and crash into a tree in a 1965 Chevy.
>>518882902>super wood>10x stronger than steelI can reach 100x stronger during my goon sessions
>>518894414Are you going to argue against my point or are you going to continue sucking dick?
>>518882902>strong as steelbut what about plasticity?
>>518883513>Crumple zones are so cars dont survive accidents that they used to and to force people to buy new cars more frequently.Force of an impact is divided over the timespan of said impact, if that crumplezone made it take 40ms instead of 5ms to transfer the energy of your 1,5 ton car hitting a wall at a 100km per hour, it has now made that impact 1/8th (40/5) of what it was if it didn't crumple. Old cars were like tanks, true, you could hose out the remains of the previous crew and replace it in a day.
>>518882902>>518888090>So we hear you've been talking shit about the princess
>>518882902American housing memes on suicide watch
>>518885102>Incorrect. Steel can bench 1.5 its body weight, while superwood can bench 2.3 its body weight. An increase or decrease in body weight will not change this.Achually, an ant can bench press more than a human given it's bodyweight, but scale it up to human size it loses to humans because it would die
>>518895771Actually nigger tongue my anus
>>518894048one wonders where the hapless wood crusher chink might have grown up. nothing but metal chairs, held together by screws. lol. it's a grift though.
>>518882902it's called Elizabeth Dębicki
>>518895134exactly. he ruins the valuable properties of wood by squishing the cells flat with an insane amount of energy wasted on the process. i mean, the result could be useful for terrace planks or house fronts in wood. if impact resistance is key point. still, the cost involved is humbug.
>>518882902>its pcv
