As we race into the future of space travel, electric cars, and high impact sports, some of our biggest challenges are not actually how we design our future modes of transportation but what we actually build them with. It’s a brave new world, and with a new world, we need new materials. Unlike its soft padded equivalent, syntactic foam may be the material key to protecting ourselves in the future.

I took hollow glass bead and polystyrene balls and mixed it in with epoxy resin. First I mixed in the hollow glass bead until the epoxy was saturated and the hollow glass bead would no longer go into the mix. Then I poured off the excess hollow glass bead and then added (about 50% of the volume) the polystyrene bean bag balls. Once it set up it was so hard you could hit it with a hammer, and it didn't break as the epoxy has a compressive stress of about 100 MPa - steel is 280 MPa - and it floated on water, so you can make this stuff at home pretty easily and its very strong indeed.

For those who are curious about a basic way of making this stuff: You put ceramic micro-spheres (which are hollow) and aluminum in a furnace under vacuum at around 700°c for a couple hours, then you flood the inside of the furnace with argon gas. The argon forces the aluminum down into the ceramic microspheres, basically creating an aluminum latice around the hollow ceramic microspheres. This creates an open cell metallic foam. After cooling, you clean the material, flushing out the remains of the ceramic microspheres (the cooling process should damage their structure). After cleaning the matrix, it is then reheated under controlled conditions and the open cells are allowed to close, creating a closed cell matrix. Consiquently, you can create a DIAMOND latice using a combination of microspheres and chemichal vapor deposition. No one has done this yet, that I know of, because I just thought of it. :P

Why is there absolutely no information on how it is made? He says that you cannot just have a porous material, or it will be weak. You need a material with "tiny hollow particles", but what are these particles? Are they removed from the examples that he shows in the video? because they definitely look porous. I feel like very little information was given in this video, even the basic stuff. Maybe this stuff is under patent, and he cant give out information, or maybe the reporter just didn't ask very good questions, but either way it feels like a waste of a video

@MikeTrieu 8 жыл бұрын

The particles are just hollow metal spheres of uniform size. You can get a bunch of them fairly easily on AliExpress. Then you just inject/sinter a molten metal like aluminum/titanium into the matrix. If you've ever seen the Taofledermaus channel, it's kinda like what he does with wax slugs, except the lead shot are replaced with tiny hollow balls. You can even make composite syntactic foams out of hollow glass spheres. 3M manufacturers these in various sizes to make lightweight, yet strong, polymer materials.

Shit schools wont help you much. You can look in a book all day but no company is gonna hire you unless you have lab work, or some kind of hands on work that you can show them. Knowing everything is one thing, but knowing how to use that knowledge is something else completely. If someone asked me if they should go to college, I would say; only if you can afford a really good one. Because unless you are at a really good college, you can learn all of that stuff on your own and you wont be in huge debt for it. Instead, if you cant afford school, focus on finding internships and jobs, where you can learn how to apply knowledge, not just the knowledge itself. That will make you more money, faster, and keep you out of debt. I know self taught programmers who make as much as programmers who have their master's degree. Its not really about the degree, its more about the experience and your knowledge. College is just a very formal way of getting 4 years of good experience. 4 years at a very good company would teach you just as much or more.

A practical application for strong foams would be in the military. Where a bit of foam inside the driving compartment can be very useful for preventing injuries in accidents. I was only ever in one somewhat serious accident while driving a stryker, and between the foam padding and my helmet despite taking the entire impact of the crash to my head I was pretty well fine after the crash. Bit dazed and confused but still able to drive, In cars I can see it being more difficult to really protect the driver and passengers with foam because of how they are set up, but even just adding an inch of foam or so the ceiling could definitely reduce deaths from roll overs.

0:55 How is made the "syntatic foam"? How you get hollow buble as see in 0:59 ? Because is not like airgel where all hollow rooms are conected with others and air flow can pass. this are closed bubble right? That make this interesded, this make thermal gap for better isolation and gain structural integrity at same time. Seeing your video only i think thic can be done by premade the hollow balls the size you want ant the same material you wil introduce it, and after somehow you turn the liquid metal to fill the gaps(dont know if this melt the hollow balls). But after this is how you bake hollow balls of a metal? is not the same make filled metal ball. Can be made as pingpong or tenis balls in 2 parts and unify after. How you make it?
