Im just tryna figure out what luffy's gear 5 will be like

same lmfao

Gomu gomu nooo

Here's a hint:Sun

Wow! Very informative, my friend. I must admit that Mr. Goodyear's Story was a bit sad... and that he deserves a hero's recognition for the work and dedication he did for science and technology.

[@JosephPMcFaddenSr]

Thank you for your presentations, your approach to presenting what may be complicated topics is admirable

[@Nozirev]

Only hear to theorize about luffys awakening 😭

[@Pierre-so7xu]

Im here bc I saw that someone on a forum said that luffy is most likely made of vulcanized rubber. I wanted to see if it's actually strong irl just like in the anime😭

[@001ahaa]

Nice to hear some facts about this amazing guy, My team had one Trivial Pursuit question about him and we answered something about rubber, but it's the vulcanisation which makes it so unique. I still don't understand the fundamentals of crosslinking so please, if you coul explain more about that.

[@JerreHui]

I am extremely inpire of the story, create all the effort, with such little profit, but he never give up, I am so proud of him, everytime when I drive my sport car, speed is nothing without control. He is such a great admirable human being, we should never forget about him, of contribute all the technology we have today. Great video on youtube!

[@Matt-bp5vy]

Greater channel! I'm very surprised you don't have more subscribers. Give it some time!

[@stimpyfeelinit]

thank u for ur service goodyear

[@illusionarywall582]

Thank you for the explanation I was looking at how rubber bands are made and they talked about vulcanisation but it left me with a few questions. When bonding and bridging I was immediately thinking why does it not just bond with the rubber why does it link and how many links it makes, it crazy to think how few links there actually are and how much is wasted in the process. This was very informative, thank you.

[@abdullahalbuzilfah615]

wow i loved this video, keep it up man.

[@thebumblecrag61]

Very informative, great video!

[@stevenmagdaleno9863]

That was educational. Thanks!

[@HALOO_ANTON]

Amazing i really love the explaination

[@brianmnichowicz6297]

Awesome video, very well done! Question: is the isoprene in the natural rubber latex already polymerized? If so, does it need to be further polymerized before shipping to the compounder?

[@1.4142]

Underrated channel

[@Yaseen_Al_Djz]

Very good it was good and clear!

[@brianjlayman]

Lolz.. that silicone shade at the end 😉😉. My man 👍

[@unnombrepichudo6156]

AMAZING !

[@obaghasophia9978]

Very beautiful,interesting and educational to watch❤

[@parthasarathidhabal9511]

Almost all of my entire day is spent in watching science videos. Came across ur channel, and i have to say, man u deserve hell lot of more subscribers. Ur video is really nice, and ur voiceover is nice too. You know what ur videos need ? a bit of background music. Just a bit of ambient not-in-the-face music will oomph it up! Keep up the good work man✌🏼

[@thematsciguy6254]

Thanks for the suggestion! I am a bit busy with other things in life right now so it might be a while until my next upload, but maybe I will try to add some background music once it's ready. Glad to hear you are enjoying the channel~

[@martinporta_]

Nice video!!

[@benjaminmigisha]

thanks

[@michaelcorbidge7914]

There was a small paperback book that told the comprehensive story of rubber and Charles Goodyear. It's a damn good book . Ammonia ain't mentioned here or lead or zinc oxides nor carbon black .

[@Sinister_Reaper]

Strange how he knew he needed sulfur to make strong rubber, i mean after 10 failed experiments how did he know to keep trying different amounts and temperatures and different cooking times and kept at it for over a year, after 10 tries i would've thought maybe sulfur isn't the right ingredient lets try something else

[@Lippdinos]

A great story! I just would like to know if Goodyear's family eventually gained from his dedication. Was the Goodyear company their heirloom after all?

[@heshankarunarathna5732]

Which class of compounding ingredients involve in breaking the sulphur ring?

Damn that part about Good Year is sad AF.

[@SangheiliSpecOp]

I like your voice c:

[@raulacuna4725]

Silicone and a picture of model there haha nice one

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Excellent video

[@Peaserist]

Vsauce was wrong, I CAN vulcanize my own rubber

[@1.4142]

cool

[@StockTraderClassLive]

We have so many scientists and chemists , even computer software that can analyze and predict chemical reactions yet we can’t figure out how to recycle vulcanized rubber? Sounds like we are missing something or must be the approach to solving is the issue…! Because personally I can come/think up of multiple controlled experiments that we can do to solve the vulcanization /devolcanization process.

[@FSRTJayant]

I need To know about Print rollers.

[@echopathy]

please keep teaching.

I’m high asf rn and looked this up for no reason

[@tipsboutique9739]

Hi hobiest from a third world country talking here, i wanted to know if that i can create rubber, that could be used in shoe soles (like crepe soles), by mixing synthetic latex and formic acid, without vulcanizing it, my question may be stupid, am not sure but anyway thank you in advance my friend

[@mikelong3444]

👍

[@ollie-d]

The silicone examples haha

[@zeusvalentine1848]

If I wanted to make rubber with ingredients found at a home depot. could I? They do sell sulfur products there for gardening. I did see some sort of rubberized blackish product that goes on roofs....Am I crazy to even think of doing this? Would the rubber become vulcanized with heat and sulfur?

[@johndelong5574]

Noah likely added sulfur to the tar when he coated the woven bark from which the ark was constructed.

This guy has a voice that'd kill a yak. Monotonous and drole. :( Edit: Whoa, turn it up to 1.25x speed, his voice becomes endurable!

[@thematsciguy6254]

Sadly David Attenborough didn't respond to my request for him to narrate these videos :(

[@muffinman1157]

The content is worth it. This is the fifth video I've gone through today on vulcanized and synthetic rubber history, and by far the most digestible to a novice chemist such as myself.
