[@mattbeck9526]

So, since wood exudes volatiles when it's heated, then heating it under vacuum would actually cause the volatiles to escape even sooner because there is no pressure helping to hold it together. What if we tried it the other way around? What if we INCREASED the pressure and tried melting the wood? Could we melt wood in supercritical carbon dioxide? That would probably dissolve the volatiles and we would get recrystallized organic compounds when the pressure was released. What if we tried something inert, like high pressure argon? What would that do?

[@kingflynxi9420]

You might be on to something

[@unintentionallydramatic]

👀💦 You might be cooking with this.

[@BlinkOnWheels]

Sounds interesting

[@paprikalp7989]

The volatiles are a degradation product which means you would still get burnt wood with volatiles that would escape when you released pressure eventually

[@ColonelSandersLite]

@@paprikalp7989 This is exactly correct. In fact, heating wood in carbon dioxide is how we have been making charcoal for millennia. Edit - OH, this just made me realize something. A whole lot of americans are kind of obsessed with BBQ. We can have charcoal in both natural chunk style *and* briquette style. Those briquettes? They're probably actually melted together in the process of manufacture. That would explain why they don't fall apart if they get damp or something.

[@pirobot668beta]

My step-dad showed me how to set dowels using a drill. Pretty much what y'all were doing, but step-dad insisted it was 'resins' in the wood that melted together. All I knew was it was quick; the dowel spins in the hole, then suddenly 'grabs'.

The scientists in Switzerland didn't win the award just for getting lucky, but more so the detailed description of what is happening. It is not exceedingly rare that observations are made by non-scientists first, but they don't realize the significance or they lack the tools and knowledge to study and properly describe it. Then later scientists stumble over the same observation and then study and describe it properly. It's always interesting when that happens though, I wonder how many important observations have already been made but never published and described.

[@tristanwegner]

The main difference between just messing around and science is proper documentation

[@thisdude9363]

​@@zagreus5773A lot of accumulated human knowledge was just observations without scientific study and description. Example, in the 1800s, preserving fruits for winter using layers of sugar and chopped raisins in a sealed jar was common.

Cool effect that I didn't know about!

Steam bending wood does have a very long history, but, as far as I know, can't be used to fuse two pieces of wood together, only to mildly change the shape of a single piece of wood of limited thickness.

The greener bamboo is more tolerant with being bent, I soak the more seasoned bamboo in water to then avoid burning it with the torch or heat gun. Great video!

[@movme]

Okay, this works for fastening one end of a round wood dowel into a round hole in the wood. That only gets half the job done. How about the other end of the dowel? You can't spin it to heat it to the bonding point. How about a square or rectangular tenon in a mortise? You can't spin either end. You can't really vibrate it the way the Swiss did, either. Maybe some ultrasonic energy applied to rectilinear joints in a focused manner would work? Or focused laser energy? There's more experimentation waiting to be done to broaden this technique for more versatile applicability.

Wow! I hope that the worker who accidentally discovered that you could weld wood without the need for plastic was given a raise or promotion!

That sort of discovery is priceless!

[@jwhite5008]

It might be oversold a bit... while woodwelding has its uses, it is not going to replace adhesives any time soon, and neither are the adhesives as problematic as they may seem. Melting plastic adhesive *properly* should release very little fumes. Generally this process is more expensive and labor-intensive in comparison to adhesives but it depends on circumstances. As for environment - the impact is not completely negligible at scale but not large either. Building more robust objects that are not expected to be replaced as often is much more important that producing them in a more environmentally-friendly way. It may be possible to do both.

5:46 "I'm going to heat my wood with a laser while it's under vacuum and see if I can permanently deform it" is not a string of words I thought I'd hear today.

[@linusboden7050]

Does hard wood melt if i use friction aswell? Asking for a friend ..

[@sunderark]

He ... showed that in the video?

[@fewbronzegames]

4:57 don't say that you'll hurt it's feelings

[@suyashnagarkar]

real

[@mr.anderson3015]

0:47 "the ligma in the wood" is crazy

[@LionDEmil]

the Schweighofer prize are actually 2 words, "Schweig" and than "Hofer" pronunciation would be "Sh-why-g - ho-fer" (sh like in shine, why like why, g like in garden, ho like in hope, fer like in Ferdinand) hope it helps :D

The second part about permanently bending wood under high temperature exists for more than a thousand years now. The primary use of this technique was in ship construction which is also used to this day. Only difference is that it uses steam to achieve high enough temperature without burning the wood.

[@zeehighness9310]

Who wood have known 😅

[@reecetobin2551]

...leave

[@reecetobin2551]

JOKESS, I also love dad jokes 😂

[@m.w.4508]

Bro looks like he's holding in the most diabolical fart of all time whenever he talks.

[@yashthegamer4250]

Is it okay to eat uranium?

[@MysticLGD]

Yes

[@TDXC------]

Yeah

[@GG-GG-GG-GG0]

Absolutely

[@Coolyoghurt22]

Totally I have it every day. Made me into a skeleton though.

[@shamylahmed3062]

There's no law forbidding it so yeah

[@jemtaovt1122]

I remember asking this question a few years ago on reddit and was called an idiot for even thinking about. Well, thanks Action Lab for disproving everyone that called me an idiot for being curious!

[@pingram01]

Hints to pronounce German words. "ie" is an ee sound, "ei" is an eye sound, "sch" = sh, v's are f's and w's are v's. This is always true and there are no exceptions. Bonus round is that "th" is a short t-h sound, so "thor" is said "tor" :). Thanks for another great video :D

[@kweezanart]

i love how he always looks confused

[@0neIntangible]

Pre-historic man apparently made fire by rapidly rubbing (reciprocating), two pieces of wood together.

[@LincolnDWard]

friction + pressure or limited oxygen = melting friction + lots of oxygen = fire

[@Jehty_]

Apparently? Is that something you are not 100% certain about? Or something you just recently learned?

[@dekurvajo]

He wanted to weld wood, but whatever. Never received a prize

[@SToXC_.]

​@@Jehty_Apparently because no one was there to see it or filmed with a camera.

[@shmeepo2428]

4:10 Whats lignin?

[@Carlos-Perez]

Ligneese balls

[@Meevious]

Tbh, there are plenty of strong natural glues that are much less damaging to the environment than running an electric drill, especially a battery powered one (by far the most common type of drill these days). Mining and refining lithium and charging it with a power station that's probably made of an unthinkable amount of steel and concrete and powered by fossil fuels made from countless dead lifeforms, condensed over millions of years, connected with a power grid that also relies on very large amounts of steel, together with various rare minerals vs Finding a dead animal, soaking its hide and straining the glue from it Probably possible to make a vegan version with pectin instead of gelatin too, though I havn't heard of any attempt. Still amazing though. =)

[@noahherron827]

When I was in 8th grade I thought about the possibility to melt wood but I thought it was impossible because I though the process that happened was sublimation and it would be impossible to make it happen because it would need very specific conditions for melting wood to happen happy to see one of my ideas come to fruition

[@joshuagibson2520]

My wood gets stuck sometimes. More than 4hrs the doc said to call him.

[@verack1616]

4:04 Lignin what? 🤨

[@GoldenB101]

ligma balls

[@freewave04]

3:52 hehe - join

[@ReqchV1]

I respect this man and his channel so much

[@Sinnicide]

I love the shitty smile on the one dudes face at 3:42 all it says to me is "All my other accidents cost me money for 18 years"

[@robatkins6432]

video ends @7:05

[@dovidmoritz9278]

Bad ckickbait bad

[@DV-cs4ye]

As soon as you said no oxygen, I thought “hmmm, who do we know with a vacuum chamber?😂😂😂

[@Dvaci]

Seeing your interest in vacuums is fantastic! The CDV 6 can handle a wide range of tests. Need more info? Just drop us a line!

[@AniDa_Rabbit]

My life mystery is answered. also "they were awarded the shwer..." "shwaygofer.." "shwayoffer..." "They were awarded a prize for their discovery😃-"

[@柊コ゚シ01]

I like how he struggles to pronounce the word and just gives up in the end lmao
