Everyday citizens serve citizens and sometimes without realizing it. Just like people in today’s society they would help a random stranger just because they are in need. How much spider silk will it take to produce just one long enough strand to swing on? In Madagascar there were two guys that collected spiders every morning get the silk from them then release them back in to the wild. What they would do with the silk was pull it out of the spider then put it on a spindle it’s then put on a hand loom and weave it into a tapestry. It’s called dragline silk; a spider can produce up to seven different types of silk.
The dragline is what frames the web; it’s the thicker silk on the outside. Also, it’s extremely strong. The first panel that they wove, they were quite stunned by the fact that it sounded like guitar strings, pinging like metallic guitar strings. It is a very, very unusual material. Over the course of four years and the help over one million spiders they finished the tapestry. To finish the tapestry it took over one million spiders. One spider would take about 20 minutes to collect the silk. Each spider usually produced 400 yards. To make a long strand to swing on it would take quite a bit of spiders.
Is there a way to shoot strands of spider silk form a hand or wrist? Yes we have all seen Spiderman shoot webs out of his wrists or even a device he makes to shoot them. But can this become a reality? In my own opinion I do not think his could be possible. Even with all the technology we have today I don’t think it could be possible. One reason is because, where would you store all the webbing? There is not a way to hold a long rope-like spider web in a device that fits on a wrist. And also, to have it shoot out with a press of a button and stick to a nearby surface.
The Essay on Spiders Chloral Hydrate
Spiders This report deals with testing the toxicity of certain chemicals on spiders, and determining the toxicity by how it affects its ability to weave its web. This report contains research on the four chemicals (benzedrine, chloral hydrate, caffeine, and alcohol) as we llas the spiders and their webs. Spiders are of course found in the class Arachnid ia, which also contain mites, scorpions, and ...
Conclusion, no there is not a way to shoot webbing out of someone’s wrist. Is the spider silk strong enough to hold a man? Spider silk can stretch up to 140 percent of its length before ripping. It remains flexible even under very cold conditions. Spider silk is so light weight that a mere pound of it could form a single strand to stretch around the earth’s equator. Spider silk it’s very soft but it is like holding a light weight flexible strand of steel; very strong. Is it strong enough to hold up a man? Spider silk equals that of polyaramid filaments which are fibers that a class of heat-resistant and strong synthetic fibers.
Which themselves are benchmarks of modern polymer fiber technology. Over all yes there is enough evidence that spider silk can withstand the weight of a human. To conclude, I would like to restate my questions and answers. First, how much spider silk will it take to produce a long strand? One spider would produce 400 yards of silk. Second, is there a way to shoot it? No there is not a way. Third, is it strong enough to hold a man? Yes spider silk is about the strength of steel. Over all yes I think it would be possible to create a real life spider man in today’s world.
