we can conclude that after the application of this bilateral, hylomorphic analysis that due to these contradictory “up” and “down” epistemologies of cloud tropes, the reality of clouds is somehow still understudied, having been ignored in favor of their Platonic form/sign, and that we really don’t “know” clouds at all.

that 5:48 explosion I counted 4 people in the blast and only one on his belly moving after it. looked pretty nasty. then in the one immediately after you see a moving bus and man on the street get engulfed in a massive thermal blast. the man a further 50m away looks like he got nicely toasted, so I reckon ivesb is spot on, we are watching some people who are getting deaded

Requires low/high pressure for degassing and impregnating the wood after the lignin is removed though.
(, Mon 8 Feb 2021, 23:03, Reply)
I guessed that the impregnation would be the difficult bit. I suspect it will need to be a very low viscosity resin as well. Every time I tried using vacuum pumps at work for de-gassing experiments I'd get shouted at for putting dodgy gases through the pump which could affect the oil and bugger up subsequent experiments.

Using Kraft paper pulp it would be easier to mould/bleach as well as impregnate.

step 1: remove most of the wood
step 2 replace the 90% of structural material that you've dissolved with a marine epoxy that goes transparent in UV
step 3: put it in the sun
congratulations, you now have a transparent piece of epoxy. In the future you may even make windows out of it if people ever start preferring plastic windows
(, Tue 9 Feb 2021, 0:47, Reply)
But are the "most" and "90%" based on actual data? The properties of a cellular structure impregnated with resin could be very different to just resin.
(, Tue 9 Feb 2021, 11:06, Reply)
if you got a corpse, let the maggots eat all the flesh and put the skeleton in a chemical bleach it until was all degraded, then covered that skeleton with epoxy, would you say "hey, we've made a transparent human"? I suspect they're using the term because it sounds more green than what it is
you can add a lot of thing to epoxy to change its properties, no doubt. Fiberglass springs to mind. I'm sure a lattice of degraded cellulose has some effect. But they compared its thermal properties to glass. Id like to see how it performs against similar epoxy polymer sheets to see if it's worth the fuss

1: Painting 1mm strips of wood with h2o2 is not 'removing most of the wood' or dissolving it. Painting wood with h2o2 is an additive process.
2: Painting white stained wood with marine epoxy is not replacing dissolved structure, it's filling in natural depressions that you find in wood.
3: The wood, h2o2 and marine epoxy combine, you delightfully confident man.

it depolymerises the lignin, breaking down the long plant polymers and releasing oxygen and a bunch of short chain ketones that would evaporate, which is why they stand them up and hopefully don't breathe the fumes.
(edit) just had a look at the lab data ((https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/11/5/776/pdf). The hydrogen peroxide actually removes a fair bit of the cellulose and hemicellulose along with the lignin. It states lignin removal is "from 29% of weight down to 2.9%". You'd apologise for your unwarranted superciliousness if you had the least bit of class about you, brb. pretty much everything you stated is wrong
