World How to make the spiderman web shooters.

sweet, welcome. Like I said before, no one uses this forum, go to the web shooter shop class and you can contribute. Have fun.

Hi thanks White Widow. Can you give me the links to the other forums?? I'm currently an undeclared major, but I going to try some advanced mathematics and chem courses next semester, so maybe I will be able to help after all!

EDIT: nevermind, I found them thanks!

Thank you for the welcome

You know Whitewidow could actually sell this to the Government and make quick bucks as non-lethal capturing weapon, and could replace the need for police cars.

 

[White_widow]

I'm not sure about all that. I could probably make this and call it liquid duck tape. Also, cars would be quicker than webbing even if it was designed for swinging.

Wow, you guys are amazing. I really couldn't imagine myself knowing all of this about something that was... just made for a comic book. But I really believe you guys can pull this off! t:

 

[Phoenix593]

He's right. You guys are awesome! I have some experience with this stuff but not nearly as much as you. Keep up the good work.

Hello,

I've been researching this for some time now. I just recently did another formula test, and I am getting very close. The liquid now dries almost instantly after leaving the nozzle. I only need to improve the thickness of the actual strand of webbing it produces so it can hold more weight. Right now I can pull it hard and it won't detach from a surface until I try to hang from it. (Tested on a tree and drywall). I will not reveal my formula until after it is perfected, but I will eventually. Sit back, kick your feet up, we're almost there.

Dude, that sounds completely awesome! If you can, you should upload some pictures to realwebtech.webs.com , and come over to the webbing formula forum and give some input in! Sounds epic, man.

So, I don't think I'm quite ready to bag that "Fishing Line" idea. I've been thinking, and, what about burning the line after its let go of? We could use a non-flammable quick drying adhesive, and, like in the new movie, there would be different sensors on the fingers and palm. So, my thoughts were, soak one line in oil, then cover the other two in some grippable whatever, braid/thread them together, then wrap them around a roll. Then, when you shoot it, it would spray/ squirt adhesive on the end of the strand, the you press a pad to cut it, then grab it, and once you let go, you light the strand on fire, but the adhesive would stop the fire from ever touching the building?

This purpose of this post is to clarify where we are with the project. We will probably have increased traffic due to the release of the movie (at the time of this posting there are 9 guests viewing this thread ). This was the first thread I came to, as it was the first result when I googled "how to make spiderman web shooters".

Hi! Welcome to the forum! We are a group of people with a common goal of creating functional (not movie prop replicas) web shooters based on those worn by the fictional hero Spider-Man (though you probably already new that). If you have an understanding of chemistry or you're good with small pressurized devices (BB guns, paintball guns, etc), we invite you to create an account and share your ideas with us. If you don't, you can also create an account as we appreciate words of encouragement.
Though everyone has different goals for their web shooter, this is very much a team effort. If you have a question someone is bound to help you. If you have an idea you want an opinion on, you will get many opinions on it.

The following are links to the two main threads regarding the web shooter and a link to our website.

I wish I had the knowhow to understand some of this stuff, or even to make something myself! But I've always loved mech web shooters so I'm eagerly following your progress, guys. Great work everyone, I can't wait to see your results, AndrewParker.

 

[Bdude101]

Could somebody please explain the general principles and uses of the webbing and how it will work? I really like how you guys are creating this and really want to join in.

 

[Bdude101]

Oh yeah what about the webs to swing from because those might be pretty important.

 

[Bdude101]

I am trying to figure out other ways to perfect, so far you guys have done a great job, but I will look into making the substance strong enough to swing a little bit, maybe 2 feet off the ground but not too high. When I finish I will post it on here.

Swinging is very very very very very VERY unlikely to happen. What you swingers (my new affectionate name for people who expect to swing) don't understand is that when swinging, the hypothetical webline isn't just holding 150+ pounds of human weight (which I don't think were close to). it's holding gravitational forces which in essence are multiplying the weight being held.. I think they're call g-forces. These forces get worse with a faster speed, longer web, and heavier weight of the person.

Think about this. heres a simple pendulum. a playground swing. the chains of the swing are made from a very strong metal and there are TWO supporting a persons weight at once.
First off, the web formula we are making is based on strong plastics, not metal, and rightly so because we shouldn't be caring arround liquid metal at 100s of degrees. typically, metal > plastics
Second, If you are swinging from a building, the length of your web will probably be longer than the playground swing's chains. this is a complex concept but basically swinging is an act of falling, and with a longer web you will be falling more.
Finally, Spidey usually uses 1 web to swing at a time where as the swing has 2 chains to support someones weight. that fact alone means that a single web would have to support twice as much weight as one of the chains from the swing.

 

[IamTheHobgoblin]

I've read the first four pages But I have an inquiry about how carbon nanotubes would work for the web shooter instead of the idea that was posted on page 4 or 3 which was

Styrofoam (until better plastic is located)
acetone (100% pure. Can't be anything lower)
instant contact cement (contains acetone and comes in 3 oz)

with the propellant of:

-warm water
-Yeast
-hydrogen peroxide (available at any store in 3% concentration. In hair salons, one can get 6%. On the internet, one can get 30% more concentrated equals more oxygen.)
-soap (to make foamy any dish soap would do the trick.)

(this mehod may be very much outdated)

 

[drayden09]

trying to find a light but durable metal to use as the main material but cant figure out how to make the cartridges small enough but large enough in order to hold enough fluid but could someone point me to a good metal or material?

 

[PeterParker11]

Hello guys I'm new to the tread but I ve been watching for a while, yesterday I saw the amazing spiderman and the webshooters in that are cool, here's what I think the mechanism is, when he puts in a new cartridge the cartridge gets punctured by 2 tubes and at the end of the tubes there is a small valve which activates when he presses the trigger

 

[spidey_fan]

im fairly new and i have an advanced knowledge of propulsion and i like spiderman so i was lookin online for a new project and i found this, and i believe if noise and reload time wasnt in great consideration a low amount of black powder, and i know what your thinking you would have to fireproof the web, that would be on the ben riely design. Though if you wanted a more modern design a co2 propulsion canister the downer to that being the larger size, the upside being it would reload much faster and it wouldnt require cleaning to remove black powder residue which would make its use questionable. i have little knowledge of chemistry so i cant help with the webs but come to me with questions on the propulsion of the web.

 

[spidey_fan]

aluminum would probly work best

Welcome Spidey and others! we're discussing propulsion as well as the web formula and the webshooter in these forum threads:

please try to stay relevant to the topic of each thread (questions/suggestions about the web formula goes in web formula thread and questions/suggestions for the web shooter go in the web shooter thread)

we don't really use this thread to discuss either anymore
