      A fair while back, I saw a thing about making instructional videos.

      I would guess they are extremely rigid, and probably not that much heavier than the commonly used MDF composite board, used more for cheapness than for it also being also very rigid when manufactured correctly. I would say they have properties more defined by the quality of the driver than by any other part, as they probably are much better at damping than anything other than the ideal acoustic baffle. As a bonus being cast you probably can incorporate the required acoustic damping into the interior as part of the process, simply by having a layer of coated gravel in the mould as the first part, and then only having the outside as a full finished coating, or by making it as a set of flat panels in a mould, boat style, with a top mould, with the top being coarse gravel only confined by the mould, giving the baffling directly.
      Moulds would also be cheap to make, only needing a hydrophobic wax coating on them as release material, so can be milled out of thick MDF board cheaply, or simply nailed together from discrete panels.

    I have to be honest, this is one of the most remarkable CZcams epoxy engineering discussions I've seen. My father is a metallurgist who invented AerMet 100, one of the toughest, strongest materials on the planet and I have always had tremendous respect for people who take material science to the next level. Your ballistic epoxy concept reminded me of the year or so that I spent in civil engineering, using a material called 2A Modify. While it was nothing but different grades of gravel, it was so naturally dense when compacted because of the size mix (just like your discussion of densification) that it became as hard as a brick (probably harder) - you could break it apart, but you had to use a large hammer and put your arm into it. I'd love to hear what you do to develop that composite. Sounds fascinating. On a more personal level, I'd love to hear what options there are for casting epoxy with an embedded carbon fiber matrix. It sounds like there's some work to be done to cope with that unusual viscosity and clumping, but your comments gave me hope that there's a smart method available...perhaps adding Boron Nitride? Again, great video!

    • @kirstenspencer3630

      Now going back to music and inventions: If someone tells you on youtube (on a free to watch video) how to make a musictrack in some audio editing software, then you are totally free to do so and sell/use the music you just made. If you are watching a tutorial then it's totally obvious that the author has no problem with reproducing what he did. Legally it means the same as putting some piece of software/artwork/text on the internet and explicitly telling people they're free to use it however they like.

    Ti is my favorite channel - ever. It's near impossible to find engaging content, relative to the projects I'm working on, all presented with an eye toward the objective and scientific in one place, and yet, here it is. In recent months, I've found inspiration that has helped me to refine designs on LED lighting, sculptural art, PCB, audio design - and now I finally have a way to make whiskey that doesn't involve barrels! So many activities.

    If you really want to strengthen an epoxy matrix, make some crystalline nanocellulose and then carbonize it. I'm making a super high temp Solar oven to cut out the cost of heating.
    Also, if you take it a step further and graphitize it, it becomes HIGHLY electrically conductive--similar to or better than many lab created graphenes. Interesting for playing around with with batteries and super caps.
    Pro tip, get a source of cellulose with an already high level of crystalline cellulose so that you can a very high quality, high percentage of crystalline content in the final product. Yes, you can technically use anything from newspaper to toilet paper to paper mail (no plastic) to sawdust to get a decently highly content, but if you use the former type sources, you can it in the 95% or so range.

    Long time ago worked at an art studio/factory which specialized in making high end copies of museum pieces to send to schools when the original was too precious and fragile to send in person. Used many aggregates to simulate jade, argilite and bone. Mainly aboriginal art objects. When dealing with artists still alive and consenting to have their works duplicated, we often had the artist examine his original work and our master copy and not be able to tell them apart. Such a compliment to our work. We often used a vacuum chamber to remove any bubbles in our epoxy mixtures.
