https://www.cnn.com/science/superwood-10-times-stronger-than-steel-spc

What 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

Where's the demonstration?

>>518883243
If 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)

>>518883370
Crumple zones are for safety

Sounds superhard to work with. Do I need to buy a fucking adamatium miter saw?

>>518883439
>Crumple zones are for safety
Crumple zones are so cars dont survive accidents that they used to and to force people to buy new cars more frequently.

>>518882902 (OP)

>>518883070
Well, 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

>>518883493
Nah, 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.

none

yes, but the edge won't hold. it may be strong in tension/compression but will lack the required hardness

Lots 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.

Crumple zones exists so that the customer exists to buy a new car after a crash.

I've got superwood already.

>>518883805
that doesn't sound right. have you tried hardening the steel?

>>518883992
No but neither did OP, also hardness isn't same as strength

by hardening i really mean heat treatment - quenching and tempering. strength and hardness increases after heat treatment.

If you are retarded enough not to understand retarded lies then you deserve being lied to

They are actually creating a selective pressure, making people figure out how to weed out lies.

>>518883628
It'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

>>518882902 (OP)
How do you create a type of wood? Did the genetically alter trees or something?

>>518883662
shitwood already costs a left testicle so I'm not sure a $5000 superwood door is gonna be better than an actual steel one.

>>518883070
>>518883628
It might be "stronger than steel" in the same way carbon fibre is "stronger than steel".

>>518884067
Brunel hardness is defined by deformation under concentrated compression, so it's pretty correlated to compression strength.

>>518882902 (OP)
sounds fake

>>518883833
Cant 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.

Bones are four times stronger than concrete. This means nothing.

>>518884699
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.

have you lost your fucking mind?
balsa is like the styrofoam of wood.

>>518883370
they 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.

>>518885122
It isn't. It's actual wood. They use a chemical procedure to strengthen it. Read the article before posting

It'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.

journo articles like this are all the same
if 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 about
meanwhile in reality whatever they do to the wood, it still fucking burns.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CglNRNrMFGM&t=3s
it'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.

>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.
