Making bakelite plastic (Part 1)

So this is what happens in Atomic Heart.

It's also pretty good for containing an Evangelion

The pronunciation of the inventors name is bah-kuh-lahnd and not bake land
Land pronounced like wand with an L
Its therfore bah-kuh-liet
"Liet" like lead and not lite

granny vs soy boys

HDOE HDOE

GOING NUTS, HEARING VOICES ALL NIGHT

That typical bakelite smell of burning handles on the old kitchenware from grandma 😅

Fun fact: Bake lite was used as furniture for many firearms back in the day, especially popular in the Soviet union. It proved much more tough, wear resistant and weatherproof than wood. however, although very hard, when bakelite breaks it fractures in extremely jagged an sharp edges. It was removed from firearm furniture in no small part due to soldiers getting impaled by their weapons if they fell on them the wrong way...

GOING NUTS HEARING VOICES ALL NIGHT ‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

AK furniture is made of bakelite

Emil Lund! Hvem er du?

If you were to do this now with that vacuum oven that you have would that stop it from bubbling??

What if you heated it in a vacuum chamber?

How dare you mentional all these things made of bakelite without mentioning ak mags... truly despicable...

Leo Baekeland: invents one of the first synthetic plastics


SO IT WAS YOU. YOU WERE THE REASON PLASTIC IS IN MY BLOOD.

bro think he hdoe

NileRed, can you redo this now that you have access to pressure chambers that could help prevent the bubbling, i.e. stop the water from boiling by putting everything in to a high pressure environment?

I really miss Bakelite its such a beautiful looking and feeling material.

Novo-Lax (tm) "for a clean feeling".

Me, watching these videos, after failing chemistry: I like your words. Magic man.

Wish you would just say "celsius" or "degrees celsius." To a physicist "100c" means 100 times the speed of light

HACKLE DOWN ON EM!

Crazy how you say bakelite "bake-a-lite" then Baekeland "bakeland". English is hard.....

evangelion reference

Korobov liked that

Prayers beads made out of the original bakelite are selling for crazy prices out here in Saudi

Make some bakelite magazines for my ak47s, you bastard. Do it now you nerd boy.

Probably not a good idea to eat toast or candy at your house...

Anyone who has work in a mortuary can smell this video.

I used to work at a mortuary and we would make this stuff with very old tools we had. Never knew what it was and always thought it was fucked up to make a toy with formaldehyde but turns it out it's pretty normal. Wack.

Are licenses required for any of these chemicals (in the USA)?

New Bakelite mags when?

I’m really surprised I didn’t see any AK mags

They also used to make Kalashnikov Rifle magazines from this stuff I think

I only knew about Bakelite from evangelion lol

Isnt a bakelizer just a pressure cooker?

Pressure cooker maybe?

A pressure pots are dirt cheap

Resole looks so dabbable

Would you ba able to use a pressure cooker as a bakelizer?
Basically Strachan a valve stem with a Schrader valve to pre-pressurize it, then heat it. You wouldn't be able to observe the reaction, but you'd have your pressure.

Phenolic looks similar. Just HOW similar is it, if at all?

The only reason ik what bakelite is, is bc magazines for the AK 74 and AKM assault rifles were made from bakelite at one point💀

I Can Imagine This To be Used As A + B Ingridient Spray Foam For Houses, Looks Realkly Strong, Imagine Finding Some Sprayable Metal With A B Compaunds, That Would Change The WHOLE World

IMAGINE How Much reactions WE DONT KNOW, How Much Amalgamations, I BET There Is A Way To Make Gold, But Its So Absurd That You Would Never Think of It, Idk.

I use bakelite all the time when making knife handles, in the form of micarta which is made from the phenolic resin with layers of linen or canvas or paper reinforcing it, whereas classic bakelite uses finely powdered sawdust. Micarta's durability, strength to weight ratio, look, and feel really can't be beat for many applications.

If you have a older mechanical electrical meter at your home, the back of it is bakelite.

of all the things i could've once owned made out of bakelite, i believe it was a toilet paper holder

So Nile has NASA convinced you to join them yet??
