In this video I test if spider silk is actually stronger than steel! I do a real life experiment with spider silk and steel wire to see which can hold more weight.

I am just really impressed by the spider silk as well as the spider itself. A spider created its web right next to my main door, I was enjoying the sun and saw the web. I just broke one of its thread that was connecting the web to main door. I just stood there and see that the spider came, saw that thread is broken, went down on the ground, picked that thread up and connected it back exactly where I broke it. I was just absolutely mind blown by that. What an amazing creature.

I like the experiment. Very interesting. Something to consider: weight distribution. I noticed that the spider silk looks evenly distributed than the weights on the steel wire just before it broke. I mean, if it was a "scaled fuzzy wire hooks" would the steel wire hold more weights or will it break faster?

@oneicarus 2 жыл бұрын

It's exactly as you say, the spread out weight distribution in silk gives it an unfair advantage. Ideally what is done to measure tensile strength is to prepare a hook-like structure that is hung from the material, and then weights are added onto the hook, so that the application point of the force is a single spot. Additionally, how the material is behaving should also be taken into account: if a rod isn't bending elastically and is instead bending plastically irreversibly, then even if it can hold a bigger weight, it's not apt for withstanding repeated loads. There's a lot of properties that are of interest in a material beyond it's tensile limit. Another inaccurate factor in this video is the amount of forces put onto the wire/rope by the leaves or the table. I would have designed the experiment so that one end of the rope would've been fixed to something like a pole and then a weight would've been hung from the other end, being suspended in the air.

This was just a cool little basic demonstration. 🙂

To determine yield/tensile strength from applied bending moments from point loads on simply supported members such as the one on this video, the equation is (Load * Span Length)/(4 * Section modulus). For circular cross sections the section modulus is proportional to the diameter cubed. Thus to accurately compare the tensile strengths of the two material the load should be divided by diameter cubed, not the area like was done in the video. Because of this the steel should actually have smaller weights and the spider web seems stronger in the video than it actually is in reality. Additionaly, the span length was bigger on the steel, increasing the applied moment and thus giving the spider silk even more of an unfair advantage.

@louiscypher4186 2 жыл бұрын

@@vinsplayer2634 That does the opposite of "balancing it out" it simply skewers the results even further invalidating the data. Of course the biggest problem is all of these tests is that are not like for like comparison's. Spider's silk is actually made up of several smaller treads wrapped around each other. So if you wanted to test if it was actually test if spider silk is stronger then steel you should be using steel cable instead of wire.

@another3997 Жыл бұрын

Expecting a non specialist KZfaq channel to have all the equipment to test such materials with absolute accuracy is a bit disingenuous. But as a basic demonstration, this is more than adequate. The calculations have been done many times, by many different researchers. In terms of tensile strength, Spider silk is considerably stronger than steel, weight for weight. So are glass fibres, carbon fibres, Nylon, Kevlar and other para aramids.

There’s also a few variables to consider… the wind is adding more force to the spider silk and as you add more weights it increases the surface area which the wind acts on. Also because of the scale difference the small added force you apply when placing the small weights make much more of a difference than the larger weights for the steel rod. So if you consider that then you can also consider that the spider silk may be even stronger than your result.

@@favremysabre7839 It depends on which Spiderman you refer to. I think the original Spider-man had man made web shooters, but the Sam Raimi one had organic webshooters from his wrist. And for a semi-troll response, technically even the organic web version isn't from a spider but from a human, Spider-man.

Interesting video, one of my favorites of yours so far, I do have 2 questions though: 1) When you say how thick of a web you would need if you were Spider-Man, are you taking into account the extra tension from swinging on it? 2) Are you making it thicker to accommodate it stretching from the weight as well? These are not criticisms, but actual questions I pondered after the video.

I've always known spider silk is super strong and more so than steel per same thickness and so movable too (stretchy). I read somewhere that it would take a Web made of silk threads roughly the thickness of a man's finger to catch a jumbo jet in flight?! This explanation, breakdown and test is absolutely brilliant!

@ozboomer_au 2 жыл бұрын

This was one of the first things I learnt about when I was doing my Civil Engineering degree.. I don't know about some of the synthetics we have now., like Kevlar, Spectra, etc... but for tensile strength, in most 'non extreme' environments, spiderweb was stronger than hi-tensile poststressing steel tendons. In the experiment here, I would think the steel might've failed at the mounting joint, with a type of shear failure, as the twisting of the wire (I assume exists?) creates a stress concentrator.. and would 'attract' the force to it.... So, maybe the steel didn't fail in tension- you'd need to have some strain gauges or at least a log of the the tensile force in the wire to catch the yield point as the steel fails... A fun video, once again, though....

@dr_goofenshmirtz5931 3 жыл бұрын

I wonder what applications spider silk could potentially have if it’s able to be harvested efficiently. It’s not more durable than steel obviously, but its tensile strength is 2x stronger which is really damn impressive.
