World Webbing formula

[Symbiote-Man]

For a net, couldn't you make an expanding foam or jell? That way it would be easy to switch to the string formula.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

The fourth theory has a possibility to work as a string, but after what thebatsam said, I don't know if I would want to take the chance.

 

[White_widow]

you couldn't likely do it any way. You require authority from a school or business due to the nature of chemical engineering nowadays. the way to do a web line is the same way to do the web net.

This picture has a nice closeup of the web. Notice that the middle strands are wrapped around by one outside strand. Now let's assume that the function of the spinnerette is to do that wrapping function. If the middle strands were flying out while being wrapped slowly, it would be a net. If the strands were being wrapped very quickly, then it would remain a rope.

If all else fails, you can just make a bunch of holes very close like the silly string cans but with like seven holes.

Also, here is something a bit odd. Did you notice that in every picture with spiderman, he has an extra amount of webbing that is usually wrapped around his forearm like a lasso? If the webbing comes directly from the wrist, then why is there webbing past the wrist?

Cool! So what are you saying about the chemical, is it just #4 or all of them? All I really need is strong and sticky for the webs. The web needs to dry quickly enough so you can grab them in mid air, so you can hold on.
If hot glue dried a lot faster than it does it would be perfect, but it's not perfect.

If you heat it and kept it heated for a while, then CO2 solves the problem. It will chill the superglue very rapidly.

Got it!

 

[Symbiote-Man]

Where would I get C02?

 

[White_widow]

Walmart sells small cartridges from 5-25 for up to fifteen dollars. They are 12g.

I always wondered how he got the web down his forearm.

Alright guys. I am going to school, probably starting a rigorous training schedule to get back into shape, and have a very physically demanding job while applying for scholarships. This project is simply taking too much time. I will be popping in alot less after this post. You guys are smart, you can figure this out. I've reached a point where all I need is the money to build these things (not to mention the time) but it only took me six months of research to get this far without any help from engineers or chemists. (though when I was starting, thebatsam helped a good deal.)Everything you need is on the first nineteen pages of the first forum. If you have any questions after going through that, just let me know by sending me a Pm. I'll pop in occasionally.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

 

[spidey44]

See ya, you were so much help.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

I got the fourmula figured out well, so I'm going to the mechanical for a bit.

 

[spidey44]

what is your formula.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

To make a long story short, it is no longer figured out, but I will be making plans. The new formula I don't really want anymore, since I am trying a new one.

This one should be sticky, strong, and expands on contact with an object after it is released from the cartridge.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

But there is one problem... I don't have the formula... just the idea.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

I need some help with this stuff. Any suggestions?

 

[spidey44]

exactly what do you need help with.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

Just can't find the right formula.

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. ^^ This is a quick check in.

Sticky- adhesive like cyanoacrylate, hot glue, polyurethane, and contact cement. I have one idea that we haven't tapped yet. There are pressure activated adhesives like those in tape.

strong-That is all in the atomic structures. Here's a hint. If it has ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, and or carbon, you should be all set.

expansion- surfactant. Add soap to the mixture. As little as 1% will do the trick. over 6% is too much.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

Thanks White Widow, I have been thinking my brain off trying to figure that out! Glad you checked in!

 

[spidey44]

I always thought about pressure sensitive adhesives but I didn't know how strong they were.

 

[Symbiote-Man]

So the mixture is:
1. Hot glue
2. Soap
3. Something that would strengthen it.

I'm not sure, is 4 and 5 optional, or all together?
4. Cyanoacrylate
5. Contact cement
I might need help with #3...

You might want to look into the one of the very first formulas. It was:

1) Polystyrene, or styrofoam. Any kind would work.
2) 100% PURE acetone. Can be found at CVS. I got mine there for like 3 bucks.
3) Instant contact cement, or just contact cement. Available at Home Depot for a little less than 5 bucks. Comes in a 3 oz. jar, says it contains acetone on the back, and is read and says " Weldwood " on top.
4) You could try to add the Cyanoacrylate to this, but last time we tried it it showed that it gave chemical burns. Maybe try to add the crosslinking polyurethane to this one.

This should be fine for a good web fluid. It can hold about 10 pounds. But if you decide to make this you MUST be sure to be carefull with the acetone. It is combustable and will give you chemical burns as well. Lastly, you must be sure to use alot of acetone so the fluid becomes a liquid. I didn't use enough my first time and I got styrofoam playdough covered in the contact cement. Just a little pointer, as this is the cheapest formula available.

Thanks JM610, I'll look into it!
Now I'm curious, though. What do you use to make the substance strong?
