Speaking of ablation, just the other week I had an operation on my back called radiofrequency nerve ablation. They put big needles in me right up against my spine, and then put mini microwave emitters down the needle and they basically "burned" my nerves to kill them off. It works wonders for my pain because I have degenerative disc disease and those nerves are constantly being pinched for no good reason.

@DirtStacks yeah, I'm in central california, just east of the bay area. The route I had to take to get the ablation approved by my insurance was to first go through two rounds of steroid injections in my back to see if it responded well to it. It gave me maybe a week of pain relief, but the do tor said thays a good sign because it means that they are targeting the right spot, even though the pain came back rather quickly. Some people respond really well to the injections and never have to step up to the ablation, but I definitely needed it. I didn't go through my regular doctor either, I went to a place that specialized in pain medicine and anesthesiology.

Boring tech docs, material data sheets, grad student research, pedantic details of something that only a nerd would care about. A phone call would often result in direction to a webpage where you could get all the details. Now days it is more of a marketing platform. Don't show them anything that they could use to compare and choose a different product. "We give 30% more power than the competition." Never tell us what the baseline was, the direct numbers, or which competitor they are referring too. Just the puffery marketing.

Especially once a product has a defense application, the product and all associated info will be kept under wraps. Considering each violation equals up to $1 million in fines plus 10 years in prison, I definitely wouldn't want to risk it. Also, the specific example in the video of the Fiberform would almost certainly be ITAR controlled given its current application in spacecraft.

The problem with drilling phenolic resin (Bakelite, etc.) is the dust that is formed. Wearing a respirator is not enough - there has to be intense ventilation like a fumehood. People often keep the respirator on while doing something and then just remove it. *The finest dust stays suspended in air.* Some composites would also use asbestos as the reinforcing material and grinding that is so much worse. Also, pyrolysis is not a straightforward process. It's not resin and then boom, carbon. All the brown gunk between it, all those smokes and vapors, those are some NASTY things, seriously carcinogenic and corrosive. Really good video.

You are probably too young for this to concern you, but one thing about phenolic resin is that it is the first industrially produced synthetic resins. Production of Bakelite started in the naughties of the 20th century. When I started to be concerned with such stuff there were maybe 10 basic resins around and that told you most of what you needed to know to assess their suitability for a certain purpose. Phenolic (Bakelite) Melamin (Mica) UP, (unsaturated) polyester Epoxy Now entering the thermoplastics: PE, polyethyliene PP, polypropylene PA, polyamide (Nylon) PC, polycarbonate (Makrolon) PMMA, polymethylmetacrylate (Plexiglass) PU (Polyurethane) PTFE, polytetraflorethylene (Teflon) Therre were some exotics, but those about had you covered for most applications.

At the same time, why would pyrolysis specifically exclude (those) oxidizers? Does that mean high temp hydrolysis of fatty acid esters is pyrolysis? No. While pyrolysis is often performed in an inert atmosphere, that is only to prevent nonpyrolytic reactions from occuring before pyrolysis. Some compounds, however, will pyrolyze before oxidizing, in which case the inert atmosphere is unnecessary. Pyrolysis just means breaking covalent bonds by providing the molecule with so much heat energy that they break.

You know it's gonna be a good one when Joe asks if we want to go on a tangent!

Fun fact that was probably already mentioned but TEB (triethylborane) was also used to ignite the JP7 fuel used by the SR 71.

I don't know yet if you mention Starlite further in the video but you can DIY such heat shields, using various regular household products.

Phenol and formaldehyhe were used as disinfectant in healthcare (typical smell of old hospitals). Formaldehyde is used even now for working with tissue samples in pathology.

To be honest. I love the pacing of your videos, thats part of the appeal too.

The nose cone and fins on the AGM-69A Short Range Attack Missile (SRAM) were made of phenolic. The repair was a nightmare!

8:00 I think that it would probably burn different when heated by the friction from the fall of the craft, because of the changing composition of air at different layers in the atmosphere. Maybe you mention this afterwards but I wanted to point it out now that I remember. To be more specific, I think that the higher concentration of oxygen where you burned it, in contrast with the lack of it "up there" would make a big difference.
