When I was a kid I had some of those celluloid guitar picks. A friend told me that if I lit it on fire it would really flare up. I did, it did, and it was kind of a shock. I never did it again, but I figure modern guitar picks won't do that anymore.
I read that celluloid was used for a while to make fabric for women's dresses. If a flame struck them, they could burn in a flash- not harming the woman, but creating a very embarrassing situation.
That's hot.
@@ImWearingPantsNow angry up vote
Fun fact: as you said "Eastman Kodak Company", I was actually driving past the Eastman Kodak Company... well, the Kodak building, or whatever it is called now.
Ok, I guess that wasn't that fun. Sorry.
Plastic pellets a hot and I mean HOT plate to create plastic toys. What was that toy called? Remember there were 3 or 4 critters in each melting plate.
Thingmaker? It use liquid plastic. There was a toy injection molding machine that used plastic pellets.
@@TimHayward The injection molding toy was called Vac-U-Form.
"transparent aluminum" Star Trek reference, oh yeah
Do you realize all plastics are derived from crude oil. Man made plastics are not MAN MADE , plastics are derived from MAN manipulating crude oil, crude oil comes from the decomposing of natural material from millions of years ago . Think about that for a minute
Well unfortunately there is transparent aluminum it's made from aluminum oxide squeezed under 4000 bars of pressure and 4000 degrees(I may have the zeros wrong on the measures) it's semi transparent until polished a 3/4 inch piece is as strong as 1 and 1/2 inch piece of laminated glass in deflecting bullets, and is being tested for jet aircraft canopy. It's technical name is not transparent aluminum but it's lost on me but you can find it with that name, I did
Some thing tells me it already existed back when Star Trek came about but had no practical use.,who knows ? I bet the history guy knows or will know.
Good night THG's Mom

History gang
WHERE IS THE HISTORY GUY
Yeah CHEAP PLASTIC like the plastic used in my cars bumper you give it a healthy tap with a louisville slugger and it falls apart like chicken eggs. But cheap? Hardly! 3000$ and it would total my cars value because currently it is a 2006 make and it barely has rust and is 186000 miles beautiful shape but a shattered bumper would make in impossible to drive legally in New York, insane!!!
