      I suppose it is not impoosible - with a vacuum room. Enter the room with a space-like suit and do the wood welding in there. You need some kind of mechanism to create high temperatures and apply some pressure to join the woods together.

    So, since wood exudes volatiles when it's heated, then heating it under vacuum would actually cause the volatiles to escape even sooner because there is no pressure helping to hold it together. What if we tried it the other way around? What if we INCREASED the pressure and tried melting the wood? Could we melt wood in supercritical carbon dioxide? That would probably dissolve the volatiles and we would get recrystallized organic compounds when the pressure was released. What if we tried something inert, like high pressure argon? What would that do?

      Edit - OH, this just made me realize something. A whole lot of americans are kind of obsessed with BBQ. We can have charcoal in both natural chunk style *and* briquette style. Those briquettes? They're probably actually melted together in the process of manufacture. That would explain why they don't fall apart if they get damp or something.

      The scientists in Switzerland didn't win the award just for getting lucky, but more so the detailed description of what is happening. It is not exceedingly rare that observations are made by non-scientists first, but they don't realize the significance or they lack the tools and knowledge to study and properly describe it. Then later scientists stumble over the same observation and then study and describe it properly.
      It's always interesting when that happens though, I wonder how many important observations have already been made but never published and described.

Example, in the 1800s, preserving fruits for winter using layers of sugar and chopped raisins in a sealed jar was common. Nowadays, science knows that chopped raisins release antioxidants, which help in preventing the degradation of the preserved fruit. Back then, they just knew it helped.

    Instead of a vacuum chamber and laser to bend the timber you can use an old technic of steam bending at which you remove the oxygen from around the timber and apply heat at the same time from the steam. There is a formula for the amount of time a peace of timber needs to be in the steam chamber depending on it's thickness.

    Cool effect that I didn't know about! I see several comments asserting that this is how the various fiberboards are made (HDF and MDF), but a quick google search suggests that these products use a synthetic resin as a bonding agent and are not just fused melted wood. Steam bending wood does have a very long history, but, as far as I know, can't be used to fuse two pieces of wood together, only to mildly change the shape of a single piece of wood of limited thickness.

    Wow! I hope that the worker who accidentally discovered that you could weld wood without the need for plastic was given a raise or promotion! After all, he found a more environmentally friendly, cheaper method that also saved time! (Also, since it eliminated the fumes created by melting plastic, it was safer!) That sort of discovery is priceless!

    • @jwhite5008
      @jwhite5008 Месяц назад +3

      It might be oversold a bit... while woodwelding has its uses, it is not going to replace adhesives any time soon, and neither are the adhesives as problematic as they may seem. Melting plastic adhesive *properly* should release very little fumes.
      Generally this process is more expensive and labor-intensive in comparison to adhesives but it depends on circumstances.
      As for environment - the impact is not completely negligible at scale but not large either.
      Building more robust objects that are not expected to be replaced as often is much more important that producing them in a more environmentally-friendly way. It may be possible to do both.

    This kind of bending wood is a part of our tagin community. In this, we bend bamboo by heating it in the fire and then we apply force to the bamboo and repeat it until we get our desired shape.
    If we don't heat the bamboo before applying the force, it just breaks but when we apply heat and force, the bamboo gets bent and it retains it's shape. This is even done to some kind of woods which i'm not really aware of, as this practice is being lost and I don't fully know the process as well and just told the jest of it. This practice has been our tradition, and it is fascinating to learn the actual science behind it.

    They've been shaping wood with steam in sealed chambers for a long time. They clamp the wood to a form, then raise its temperature above "melting" with dry steam and no air/oxygen. Then after a time they let it cool and it's permanently formed. I think it started in the 1800s.

    Okay, this works for fastening one end of a round wood dowel into a round hole in the wood.
    That only gets half the job done.
    How about the other end of the dowel? You can't spin it to heat it to the bonding point.
    How about a square or rectangular tenon in a mortise? You can't spin either end. You can't really vibrate it the way the Swiss did, either.
    Maybe some ultrasonic energy applied to rectilinear joints in a focused manner would work? Or focused laser energy?
    There's more experimentation waiting to be done to broaden this technique for more versatile applicability.

    The glass transition temperature has nothing to do with "melting". It is the temperature at which the polymer transitions from a glassy state to a viscoelastic or "rubbery" state. It is a second order phase transition. If a thermosetting polymer is heated, a temperature range will be reached where the polymer is observed to soften and flow. This is not a single well defined temperature but an approximate range of temperatures where the polymer can be worked. You may also want to look at a paper "Macromolecules, 1987, 20, 2226-2237" which discusses melt viscosity of linear polymers versus molecular weight.

    I tried for some time now to popularize friction drilling of wood, which is quite similar to your using a peg in a hand drill. You should try it.
    I made a large wardrobe from oak, and by accident tried drilling at very high speed to produce smoke, for fun. And it turned out to be the best way of drilling oak. Exit hole is incredibly neat, and its edge is sharp. Much better than with professional drill bits. From the church organ makers I learned that oak is aggressive on the screws, so they singe the holes to make them inert... not needed with friction drilling.
    So how you do it... Use any dull drill bit and start drilling. Once your hole is just deep enough that the bit won't dance off, increase speed to max, but only a slight pressure, up to the point when smoke appears. Then apply some more pressure, and be amazed how smoothly the bit sinks into the hole.
    Note: it doesn't work as good with sharp drill bits.
