I would love to see this applied in an industrial setting where one person could open a small structure and roll out a huge length of this to protect a portion of a public building or business. They could even be wider and have multiple layers to roll out of the same structure to be more stable and more elevated. This is a fantastic idea and greatly needed in hurricane and tsunami zones around the world.

Right?! No sand, no sweat, just protection. You can learn more about them on stormtec.net

Very interesting.....have you looked at experimenting/using these to develop springheads. Seems like a pretty simple way to dam up the spring, and then back fill with the gravel, etc.

No, but I think you're right it could be a good tool for that.

Are they reusable? Do they deflate themselves over time?

@thefirsthuffman 2 жыл бұрын

They are reusable. If left out in the sun they will dry out after about a week-give or take a few days depending on the temperature.

@SwissLinkMilitarySurplus Жыл бұрын

They can be reused quite a few times depending on the cleanliness of the water and the way they were used. They'll dry out over the course of about a week if left in the sun. When it's time to dispose of them, the polymer inside is non-toxic. People often dump the contents in their soil to help with water retention. We actually sell these to nurseries quite often. They use them to keep saplings hydrated.

Looks like and sounds like a great idea . In an emergency they would be quicker than filling up sand bags , let alone finding dry sand to use . The cost , being a big issue , $7.40 for 50 is up there . But , how much is your house worth ??? , plus being reusable is a bonus .

@SwissLinkMilitarySurplus Жыл бұрын

They're definitely pricier than a traditional sandbag, but they enable a single person to deploy a complete barrier wall in minutes with very little labor.

@stealthslayer13 Жыл бұрын

50 for less than $10 seems like a bargain for how much time, energy, and ultimately money you will save by using them and saving your home.

@SwissLinkMilitarySurplus 2 жыл бұрын

At the end of the video, you can see a short clip of steven taking the bags out of the creek. The bags will dry up after a couple of weeks give or take a few days depending on the weather. They can then be reused. Hope that helps!

1 lbs to 30 lbs isn't 300 times, it is 30 times. what happens if you do not use fresh water & use salt water?

@thefirsthuffman Жыл бұрын

The polymer in the bag expands 300 times, most of that 1lb is the bag itself. Salt water will reduce its effectiveness and it won't expand fully.

Could these be used as a permanent structure?

Probably not

@SwissLinkMilitarySurplus Жыл бұрын

Permanent is a strong word. They'll last for quite some time but they're intended for use in emergencies/disasters which (hopefully) aren't permanent.

@0xeb- Жыл бұрын

No. The bags will dehydrate and eventually everything will crumble.

@0xeb- Жыл бұрын

You can maybe hydrate the bags then vacuum seal them individually to keep them moist and always hydrated. Only then they can perhaps hold for a long time.

The dry bag in total weighs 1lb, the polymer itself expands 300x its size/weight.

@Alex1986Sevilla 6 ай бұрын

It's basically a bag of water. A bag of sand keeps water away through sheer mass because it's much heavier than water and it gets even heavier when it gets wet. You can't hold back a wall of water with a wall of water, it's the same density. It will just get pushed back. This small demonstration doesn't prove anything, we can see water flowing from under the wall of bags.

Unfortunately never did see that creek get dammed up, as bags only cause partial resistance in water movement as it flows under, through and around the bloated bags. Where as sand bags actual shift in shape to lock crevices between. These are more like glorified water balloons 😂 they have a good purpose in other applications but not this.

@eleanormattice3598 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you for removing this dam to allow fish to migrate freely up and down the creek when they search for shade and food. Riparian areas along the banks of the creek with native trees, bushes and grasses will help slow and absorb flood waters too.

We don't recommend damming rivers or creeks, this is just to demonstrate the product. I agree we need to look out for wildlife and respect nature.
