For years you have made very educational videos, I have learned a lot of information I would not have known. This video and others you have made highlights the problems with the status quo. You have presented many solutions to world problems, sustainable batteries, environmentally friendly plastic, and a way to distill seawater. One guy on RUclips with a limited budget showing actionable ways to solve problems. I realize that governments and big business are in the business of problems and managing them while one guy with a limited budget, is in the business of solutions.
Wonderful! I would love to work out how to 3d print with this kind of material. In any case, this is so cool! Thanks for your inspiring and important work!!
Would one of those compounds stand up to the conditions of roof shingles? The waterproof and strength sounds promising not to mention the endless design possibilities of plastics.
I live near all the ingredients and want to experiment with this. What grade hemp do I need and milk? Then how exactly do you cure it with the tea and what kind 9f tea? I'm in Portland, OR. Thank you so much for this video. This gives me lots of comfort knowing we can do this and make a huge improvement to our ways.
Thanks for this one Rob, I love your content and will join your channel when I can afford to, I would love to know it you have made or if you could do one on creating hemp plastic from the hemp pulp itself using extracted Lipids ?
If you can do some tests on leeching of the plastic in the sun or as a container holding liquid over the course of a year, you might be able to offer an organic plastic to farming products.
Great video I belive the gentleman that runs the CNC kitchen youtube channel would be very interested in this material,he regularly carries out extensive tensile strength experiments on 3D printing naterial. I know I am very interested in trying out this material for my 3D printing setup. May I ask,does this material omit an obnoxious odour when heated to working temperature? Please do another video featuring this new material,it's very exciting and completely relevant given the current fight against climate change. Thank you for sharing your video with us. Kindest regards
@@OohzyJohnDow Sorry, but that's just not what the physics tell us. By burning fossil fuels we obviously create a lot of CO2 and that is added to the carbon cycle (CO2 that wasn't a part of the carbon cycle before the combustion). Now if we look at the absorption specturm of CO2 (from which we know every absorption line of) then we can easily show that it's a greenhouse gas. So more of it will make the earth hotter. Now of course we know enough about radiation that we can quantify this exactly and we can calculate a thing called the radiative forcing of the added CO2 since the industrial revolution. We can also measure the backradiation from CO2 and deduce the radiative forcing form that (via direct measurements from the atmosphere). Both numbers agree with each other. We can also calculate the radiative forcing from the sun and all other natural factors and we come nowhere near the radiative forcing from CO2. The sun is the biggest natural factor and it only provides about 1/15 to maximally 1/5 of the radiative forcing compared to the forcing caused by CO2. So the current global warming is entirely human caused (everything above the temperature in 1950 can not be explained by natural factors). So of course we can stop it. We "just" need to stop burning fossil fuels or we burn fossil fuels and sequester the CO2 that is emitted. In other words we need to achieve a CO2 neutral society, which is doable. I mean we've lived for thousands of years in a nearly CO2 neutral manner and obviously with todays technology we can get there again, but since we have so much more knowledge we can get there and still have electricity, computers and all that modern stuff. The question is simply if we want to go there or if we prefer to deal with the possibly disasterous consequences of gloal warming. Or in other words: Do we want to play russion roulette or not? (i do not imply that we're all going to die, but if you read the scientific literature you will notice that depending on how much accumulated CO2 we emit we could end up destabilising our civilisation, whereas there's no risk even remotly that big if we stop using fossil fuels and replace them with regenerative sources of energy).
Sounds like a great plan. If this can be made suitable for 3d printing it will definitely take off. PLA is rated as biodegradable, yet it still takes hundreds of years to breakdown.
Great stuff Rob, is your plastic conductive? I've been playing with corn starch type plastics with the idea of making it conductive for battery plates, not there yet :-( Martin.
Looks like you need to edit the description a bit. "Another video showing how to use tea and milk to waterproof cloth is over on our 'make it' channel ". Changing that to read Working ink channel will enable the artificial idiot bot to recommend your Working Ink channel when someone is viewing your RMS channel.
Just like with fb or anything else like this, if you look at the video and then move on he won't show up as much. If you go to your subscription regularly and look for him, he will automatically show up more. It's algorithms are like a popularity contest lol. You probably already know this this, just wanted to make sure. Hope it helps.
@@ThinkingandTinkering the system of... like...share...comment... subscribe...is the best way to stay in the stream from what I understand. That's why I do these to all your videos.
Have you been thinking of a use with paper cups? Apparently paper cups are waterproof coz they contain a thin film of plastic. Drinking straws are another one.
Glad to see you are working on this again, it looked very impressive in your first videos.. there sure is alot of different possibilities to test here! Hope you will update us, to make it really perfect it would be awesome if you could find a replacement for the milk casein, any source from vegetables to replace it ? I know you mentioned that the wasted milk could be used but I thought it would be even better if we could have a full "vegan" version :), I'm sure there is a way to do it !
Hi Robert, long time fan, thanks for all the shared knowledge! I've been looking for your video making the hemp graphene supercapacitor sheets, the whole process from the dry waste industrial material, but can't seem to find it! Any chance you can help?
Hello Sir, I just came to know that Plastic can be made using Hamp. Wondering if you could provide advise on how to create it? What sort of set up or machine is needed to do this?
Hi RMS loving that you’re back making regular videos again, life doesn’t seem so dull now lol. Also wondering where you purchase your hemp fibre from? I’m after some fibre to try create the Hemp battery that you made a little while back and it seems a bit tough to find it here in Australia :( Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hi Rob, i think this is a remarkable breakthrough even it was kept in files for ages without someone like you give it a second overview with more investigations and upgrading it ,and this might end one day the toxicity of the petroleum plastics endangering our life and environment ,i wonder if adding some natural bonding waterproof waxy substances if i may say so! would it change/extend its life under wet conditions?do you see in the near future that this new safe plastic can be made of different colors or transparent ?cheers mate.
I really appreciate and love these videos. But I'm concerned about being able to hear them. Am I the only one that has to crank the volume all the way up to understand the speech? It seems like the mike is either too far away, or he's not talking loud enough. Please let me know if its just my setup, of if I'm not alone in this.
I wonder if using ultrasound do break up the hemp fiber into nano-fibers would help with your hemp plastic? Hielscher makes an ultrasonic device for ultrasonically fibrillating bast fiber. Have you thought of using something like this? Read more: www.hielscher.com/ultrasonic-hemp-fibre-processing.htm
Looks awesome rob 😉 where do you get your chopped hemp from? I can only find non-chopped hanks of hemp and it's a pain to have to cut it yourself. Cheers!
The price of milk in many places is so low dairy farmers can't make a profit on it having another use for it can use the excess supply and raise the price good for everybody.
@@Kiyarose3999 Wrong. Cows and hoved animals in general are a vital part of the environment. It's just that they are not being raised holistically but in a very unhealthy manner.
What if you substitute cow dung fiber for the hemp and use concentrated cow pee (urea) rather than tea for curing/ water proofing. That would make for some udderly good bovine blend 😂
Hello Rob. I'm not sure how else to contact you. I own a small business here in the United States and I am interested in opening a discussion with you regarding your plastics. Is there a better means of contact we can use?
Many oils do that. This past week I found an old bottle of rancid soybean oil and it was turning into plastic, reminded me of Henry Ford who tried to promote a plastic car way back [saw a short piece of B&W footage of him hitting a fender with an ax and it bouncing off] but it seemed to not be too popular for some reason. Maybe now with people wanting lighter, more fuel efficient cars we can see a revival of this idea.
you casually mention that you used graphene one time and then never mention it again... was that just a sample experiment or is it a hidden component of your material?

Yep
Yes... this and fruit based plastics are the future. Give Robert Murray-Smith a Nobel Prize.
Wonderful! I would love to work out how to 3d print with this kind of material. In any case, this is so cool! Thanks for your inspiring and important work!!
That sounds like a bonus plan.
cheers mate
I was thinking the same thing.🤔
As always, I like it, I love it, I want some more of it! Really enjoying the mind storms of creativity you've been creating recently, Doc.
This has now become my favourite RUclips channel.
Just brilliant. I love the subjects you work on!
I'm planning on making hemp carbon batteries for my off grid home. Thanks for your sharing of your knowledge.
Would one of those compounds stand up to the conditions of roof shingles? The waterproof and strength sounds promising not to mention the endless design possibilities of plastics.
Thanks Rob for resurrecting this material. You are brilliant as usual, I have lots of questions and will be in touch soon. Best regards
cheers mate
Wonderful! Would love to try it with mycelium fiber or bacterial cellulose! I'm ready to experiment! Where can I see the process?
Thanks for yr explanations but could u pls explain how hemp is integrated with milk and hemp?
I live near all the ingredients and want to experiment with this. What grade hemp do I need and milk? Then how exactly do you cure it with the tea and what kind 9f tea? I'm in Portland, OR. Thank you so much for this video. This gives me lots of comfort knowing we can do this and make a huge improvement to our ways.
Could the bowl of combined hemp, tea, and milk be used to produce the "plastic wire" used in some common 3D printers?
So what's the exact way of making this? This hasn't become clear. Do i just knead wet pliable casein with tea and hemp fibres?
Thanks for this one Rob, I love your content and will join your channel when I can afford to, I would love to know it you have made or if you could do one on creating hemp plastic from the hemp pulp itself using extracted Lipids ?
Wow could it be used in an injection mould setup
If you can do some tests on leeching of the plastic in the sun or as a container holding liquid over the course of a year, you might be able to offer an organic plastic to farming products.
A good use would be to put the granular bits through an extruder and make filament for 3d printing.
for sure
Does it cost too much to build a machine that turns hemp into plastic
Great video

Sounds like a great plan. If this can be made suitable for 3d printing it will definitely take off. PLA is rated as biodegradable, yet it still takes hundreds of years to breakdown.
I will have a look at it mate for sure
Do you have a link to the video of you shooting this plastic? I'd be interested to see it's ballistic response.
I'll have look and post it
@@ThinkingandTinkering Thank you! it will be perfect for embedding SiC plates :D
Will this material run through a 3d printer??
Would this work with milk alternatives? Such as oat, soy, or nut milk?
what would a vegan plastic be made from ?
Great video, would soya and fibrous bamboo replace milk and hemp?
yeah probably
Great stuff Rob, is your plastic conductive?
I've been playing with corn starch type plastics with the idea of making it conductive for battery plates, not there yet :-(
Martin.
yes it is mate
Is there anyway to get a more precise recipe? I've been playing with agar hemp plastic but would like to try this

I am afraid not mate the graphene and tea make it a deep brown - any colour like as long as it is black lol
The Vapor disposition box or where get one out of the UK or usa?
What is the life span of this type of plastic if I don't want to throw it away after a week or two??
I don't know - ages if you look after it - no time at all if you abuse is my guess
does this have strength? could it replace carbon fiber in building cars, planes, etc?
it is pretty tough for sure - I don't have numbers on it - when I get round to it I'll do that

for sure
Could a cylener made of that stuff hold a vacuum?
dunno

I suppose it could as it is thermoplastic - but I haven't tried
Would this plastic machine well?
