World How to make the spiderman web shooters.

[White_widow]

Um.., sure. That sounds cool. Thanks for the compliments. Just make sure that in your extended learning that you exercise. I've been studying polymer science for about six months in my own spare time, however because of it I've cut running out of my schedule. (I still weight lift but running is what burns fat.) I've gained a few pounds as a result, so make sure to excercise.

So is this researcher studying polymers, chemistry, physics, engineering, etc? What is he into?

He's in to Biochemistry, Biology (a lot), Chemistry, polymers, spiders, dragline silk and other stuff. He's mainly into biology and chemistry as far as I know. I do excercise 3 times a week for 1 hour, I guess that's enough.

So now srsly, what's your purpose in the web shooter?

Edit:
I meant to this web shooter design from this topic. Is this the design?

 

[Symbiote-Man]

No thanks White Widow, I had a specific idea in mind for the costume. But, what if, I had a strong spring, that would push the gluestick in fast, hopefully making a squirt of hot glue. All I have to do is get a strong spring, that I could cock back before shooting! Tell me what you think!

To JM610: I think that is a good idea! Can you explain how you would pressurize it, and what kind of container you are using?

 

[White_widow]

To Spideyfan: That's awsome. I'd love to speak to him. In that forum, I tried to enter to get information but it didn't work due to the fact that people had stopped entering the forum. My new design is way different from that in that I'm straying from the source material. I'm not using a solenoid, I'm not using cans, and I'm not using their formula.

to Symbiote-man:The spring would work, but you'd need something that could heat up and stop heating very quickly.

Can I see it?
And what kind of information? You're on to make an actual spider webs?!
I just wait 'till he replay to my e-mail, I'm pretty sure that he'll agree

 

[White_widow]

No, I'm not onto real spiderwebs. I did find several substances as strong as webbing (one significantly stronger), but most of them are theories until I can get my hands on some supplies and information. Mainly in that forum I was trying to figure out the shooter. I'm what you'd call an engineer. I make the theories and figure everything out. I lack the skills of creating these projects in specific parts. That's a technology engineer. I went on the other forum to research parts.

I'm keeping the specific designs for the shooter until I can figure everything out. If I do end up messing things up, I'd rather mess up my own health than risk hurting others with these theories.

That would be interesting. Would love to talk to him.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

White Widow:
I think I will just keep the nozzle on and do this:

That's a good point that I hadn't considered. It would be simple to cover the heated parts with silicone rubber to insulate and stop burning. You can buy silicone rubber at any kitchen store as it makes up most ruber oven mits. One thing to be careful about is that you should use an adhesive that doesn't soften due to heat.

I can see a very promising future in your life .
But I still don't get it... what do you need the shooter for? Just an engineering challenge?

Does anyone know were I could get a spring like this? It needs to be pretty thin in diameter, for it to fit on my arm.

 

[White_widow]

I've got an interest in spidey. What can I say. I'm a nerd. However the life-saving application for this thing is huge and I think that the military, the police department, and the fire department could stand to use something like this.

For the spring, a simple google search will tell you wonders. Amazon does good with springs too.

wow wow wow hold on right there!
You are NO nerd! There is a line between nerd to awesome, and you obviously crossed it.

About your idea: sounds great in theory, but I think that a sticky climbing rope that can hold a man was already made. Isn't it what you're on to? I would like to hear more about it

btw, I got your ingredients and I'm going to test the fluid as soon as I can

 

[White_widow]

The sticky climbing rope isn't exactly what I'm going for but I would like to look into it. As for the fluid, I would hold off on that until you have a shooter. The formula would just be a strong glue otherwise.

So what are you exactly on to?
I would like to test it first as a standalone.
I have a water gun, I'll use it for my very first test ^^

 

[White_widow]

At first I'm looking at the properties. Once I know them, I can identify why they are like this. I won't be able to modify them for a year or more, but when I become a polymer engineer, this sort of thing can give me loads of info.

As for the water gun, It will not hold the pressure enough to send it out unless you coat the entire inside of the gun with a teflon spray. That doesn't even include that the glue will stick to the gun.

 

[JMA610]

Great stuff! It seems like we are really almost complete with everything. I can't wait to test my shooter!

No thanks White Widow, I had a specific idea in mind for the costume. But, what if, I had a strong spring, that would push the gluestick in fast, hopefully making a squirt of hot glue. All I have to do is get a strong spring, that I could cock back before shooting! Tell me what you think!

To JM610: I think that is a good idea! Can you explain how you would pressurize it, and what kind of container you are using?

Thanks! I would take a helium tank, which are available at a party city, etc., and I would use it to pressurize an empty CO2 cartridge, although I'm still working on what to use for a cap. Then I will take a male adapter and attach it to a devise that is the actual shooter. Not sure on the name, but it, when with the adapter, will puncture the cartridge and regulate the flow of fluid by a switch/lever on the side, which the trigger will be connected to. The fact that all this can be store bought really gives it a believable factor that a teenager made it. It shouldn't take too long to build, either.

 

[~SpideyFan~]

I honestly don't need the gun xD
And for the pressure, can't I use an air fresh spray and fill it with the formula?

And dude, that short of thing really isn't easy to make. Scientist with an equipment that we can only dream of are working on making a synthetic spider silk/a synthetic replacement with the elements of the spider silk (6 times stronger than a metal and yet very flexible) for years almost any hour of the day and yet always fail. I don't say that you can't do it, I'm sure that you can and you know MUCH more than me, but don't you take it too easy?

 

[White_widow]

Sweet! I'm glad that a teenager should be able to buy that. I think that after I create a prototype, I'm going to make the spidergirl shooter or the milk and crackers one. I'll start with reilly shooter's though. I hope you find a cap. Once that happens, it should be easy.

 

[White_widow]

Not if the materials have just been investigated recently, as in a year or two ago. Do a quick google search for stronger than steel and you'll be surprised what you'll find. Not only that, but with these materials being so new, they have to conduct thousands of studies. Also polymers are strange. One small chemical change can lead to something that is way different. Finally, how many scientists are actually trying to make what we are? They want bulletproof armor, they want parts for cars, and they want to figure out spidersilk. Almost noone is looking for an instant polymerizing substance like we are. Who'd make it?

 

[spidey44]

hi I'm new here but I have been following this thread for a while and I also was thinking of a hot melt web shooter how exactly does yours work Symbiote-Man.

 

[JMA610]

Reilly's shooters should be easy. I will let you guys know what I am using for the cap once I find out. But with that, the cap/CO2 filled with the fluid could be easily used for a Reilly-type shooter.

 

[JMA610]

Welcome to the thread spidey44! If you have any questions, ask anyone here. We all have different ideas for shooters, but they all serve their purpose.

I think that the base is the same-everyone is trying to make a spider silk-like thing, but for a different purpose. Maybe you're right, but I don't think that any of us can achieve this thing alone, and I wouldn't like to see thousands of fanboys without the knowledge trying to swing with it from highs and getting their arms ripped and even worse .

 

[White_widow]

That's why I'm telling people not to swing from it, that they'll get hurt. All I can promise this will do is stop mobility once it hardens and it won't give chemical or thermal burns. I know what you're saying though and you make a valid point. Also this isn't an organic web. This is an inorganic plastic.

 

[thebatsam]

Welcome new people, I'm Sam.....glad to see some enthusiasm about science
I'm not building one myself (have 0 time), but I ,as people on this board will know, just tend to pop in every now and again and post a few sketches or talk people through some theory.
If you need any help just post the question and I'll answer it for you....or PM me, whatever you fancy.
I'm studying Biochemical engineering and applied Physics so this all is right up my alley

White_widow is exceptionally talented and smart. Amazing drive and knowledge for a 17 year old. He would smoke most of the guys on my course

I know, but I'm not happy for that point.
Maybe scientist aren't going for the spidey style cause it's too dangerous.
I still want to understand what you're exactly wanna do if it's not a strong web fluid, though, cause I think that I got it wrong last time.

About the topic, can I use an air fresher sprayer to test the glue, or it won't be able to hold the pressure?
