Nanotechnology: The Real-Life Adamantium · Zero Shot Podcast DEMO

• 0:00
  speakers: In this conversation, the exploration of nanotechnology leads to the creation of a real-life version of adamantium, enhancing bone strength significantly. That opening sets the stakes we'll follow.
• 0:15
  This is an exact copy of my left collarbone printed in a bone -like material.
• 0:20
  And this is that exact same collarbone but coated in a thousand microns of nanovate alloy.
• 0:25
  Real life adamantium.
• 0:27
  And this is our world's largest Thor hammer, weighing 4 ,444 pounds.
• 0:33
  And this tiny thin coating of a super alloy is so strong we can pick this up.
• 0:39
  Where will it shoot if it breaks?
• 0:41
  At you.
• 0:42
  At me, alright.
• 0:44
  Exploring the implications of real-life adamantium, we dive deeper.
• 0:49
  Interviewee: Real life adamantium.
• 0:51
  I am being held up by a one -to -one copy of my collarbone.
• 0:57
  This is kinda terrifying.
• 0:58
  Interviewer: Alright, break me down.
• 0:59
  I can't believe that.
• 1:00
  We found real life adamantium.
• 1:04
  To explain how we got here, we gotta back up a little bit.
• 1:08
  Wait, please.
• 1:09
  I'm trying to do a video here.
• 1:10
  speakers: Dead Pool 3 is now in theaters.
• 1:12
  Go watch me and Hugh save the world.
• 1:14
  Anyway, could you coat your bones in advanced adamantine -like alloy using nanotechnology?
• 1:19
  How much more durable would you be?
• 1:21
  Would you be invincible?
• 1:29
  This is the same ping pong ball, but it's been coated with a 300 micron thick layer of an advanced alloy.
• 1:35
  That's about 12 thousandths of an inch, or about the thickness of three human hairs.
• 1:39
  The proprietary coating is from Integren, a company that specializes in nanotech coatings, having worked for the likes of NASA and the nuclear industry.
• 1:47
  It might look like a steel ball bearing, but it weighs next to nothing, being completely hollow, and still bounces.
• 2:03
  The nanovate coating can make bones 16. 4 times stronger than natural bone. CT scans provide a detailed 3D model of bones, essential for testing the strength of nanovate-coated bones.
• 2:18
  Interviewee: Yeah, it's pretty strong.
• 2:20
  In fact, in Integrin's lobby, they actually have this ping pong ball on display, supporting 200 pounds of Olympic weights.
• 2:26
  It's super cool, and we think we might actually sell them at a Hacksmith .store.
• 2:29
  Now, in case you didn't know, a few years ago, I broke my hand during a video.
• 2:35
  Oh!
• 2:35
  Oh!
• 2:39
  Oh!
• 2:40
  Oh!
• 2:40
  And the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.
• 2:44
  I craved the strength and certainty of steel.
• 2:47
  Yep.
• 2:48
  Now I have a titanium plate in my hand, thanks to Dr.
• 2:50
  Chris Raynor, a fellow YouTuber and surgeon.
• 2:53
  And my hand is probably stronger now because of it.
• 2:56
  But what if you could skip that whole step of breaking your bones and putting them back together with titanium?
• 3:00
  And just have metal -plated, indestructible bones in the first place?
• 3:04
  If it wasn't obvious, Wolverine is my favorite superhero.
• 3:08
  I mean, we're both Canadian.
• 3:09
  And Full Metal Wolverine claws?
• 3:11
  That was actually my very first Make It Real project 15 years ago, long before I had even come up with a name for the series called Make It Real.
• 3:18
  They were for an epic Halloween costume, and I built them during an internship for a machine shop.
• 3:24
  Interviewer: Since then, I've electrified them, I've made bone claws, and I've even made a pair of self -healing claws.
• 3:31
  Which I know is kind of ironic since the whole point of having an indestructible skeleton is being indestructible.
• 3:38
  But hey, the YouTube short on it has over 250 million views now.
• 3:43
  speakers: Reflecting on past inspirations, we consider the future of enhancements.
• 3:48
  Interviewee: Funny enough, my dad was a huge fan of talking heads back in the day.
• 3:51
  I really liked Wolverine Origins, unlike most people.
• 3:54
  And seeing Logan's transformation into Weapon X really got me thinking.
• 3:58
  Could we become enhanced like him?
• 4:01
  Interviewer: Can we use technology to make our own bodies go beyond evolution?
• 4:05
  With advances in gene editing, accelerated healing may be within our reach in our lifetime.
• 4:10
  In fact, I'm actually working on another project with a doctor at the forefront of regenerative medicine on a super soldier serum project.
• 4:16
  He's gonna be genetically modified in just a second.
• 4:21
  But more on that later.
• 4:23
  Let's figure out how to make my bones indestructible by coding them in the real -life version of Adam Mannington called
• 4:30
  NanoBait.
• 4:40
  speakers: First off, what is bone?
• 4:42
  Hang on one sec.
• 4:44
  Five minutes later.
• 4:46
  That's a bit better.
• 4:47
  What if I told you we already have metal skeletons?
• 4:50
  One of the primary ingredients in bone is calcium.
• 4:53
  And calcium is actually a metal.
• 4:55
  Pretty cool, right?
• 4:56
  Now I'm sure you've heard this fact thrown around.
• 4:58
  Did you know bone is five times stronger than steel?
• 5:00
  What's the point in coding my skeleton in metal if our bones are already stronger?
• 5:05
  Well, kind of.
• 5:06
  The part of that fact that always gets cut off is the end.
• 5:10
  Stronger by strength to weight ratio.
• 5:12
  So what's that mean?
• 5:13
  Well, by mass, bone is stronger than the equivalent amount of steel in certain cases.
• 5:18
  Take the density of steel and divide it by the density of bone.
• 5:21
  And we now know that bone is 8 .53 times light in steel.
• 5:25
  Effectively, that means you could take 8 .5 bones and they would weigh as much as one solid steel bone.
• 5:29
  But 8 .5 bones would be stronger than that one steel bone.
• 5:33
  In fact, if you run the numbers, those 8 .5 bones end up being about five times stronger than that steel bone.
• 5:40
  To make things even more complicated, bone is actually a composite.
• 5:43
  Bone is made up of two different types of bone.
• 5:46
  Hortical bone, or compact bone, and cancellous bone, spongy bone.
• 5:50
  The compact bone is essentially the shell, and that's where the strength comes from.
• 5:54
  Here, let me show you.
• 5:56
  Smell so nasty.
• 6:00
  Ugh.
• 6:04
  Oh god.
• 6:08
  That's worse than I thought it would be.
• 6:09
  We could go into further detail about bones, but let's be real here.
• 6:13
  That's not why you're here, and I'm not a doctor.
• 6:16
  So, short of removing one of my bones to coat it in metal, how exactly are we going to figure out how much stronger my skeleton would be with a layer
• 6:23
  of indestructible metal on it?
• 6:25
  Well, we need to be able to manufacture a bone analog to test our hypothesis.
• 6:29
  The best material I have on hand that's reasonably close to the strength of bone is this glass fiber reinforced nylon from my Pantheon 3D printer.
• 6:36
  Its ultimate tensile strength is only 89 MPa, which is only about 65 % of cortical bone at 135, but it is almost 18
• 6:44
  times stronger than cancellous bone.
• 6:46
  You win some, you lose some.
• 6:47
  Luckily, I can probably just print a more dense bone out of the nylon to match the strength of human bone, which isn't a 100 % cortical bone.
• 6:54
  So, hopefully, I can get pretty close in strength.
• 6:57
  And also, real quick note.
• 6:58
  Bone analog is possible to make via casting, sometimes using materials like polyurethane, but that's a bit outside of the scope of this project, so we're just trying to
• 7:06
  establish a reasonable baseline for our experiments.
• 7:08
  Now, technically, using my new Prusa XL 3D printer, I could print the bone as a composite with two different materials for the cortical and cancellous bone.
• 7:16
  But I think we're already making this more complicated than it needs to be, and since I can't even match the strength of cortical bone with plastic, we're going to have to rely on having some
• 7:24
  more of the nylon to reach the overall strength of a human bone.
• 7:28
  Now, I still want to test real bone, so I bought some off the internet.
• 7:31
  Interviewee: Elk leg bones, to be precise.
• 7:33
  Crazy way you can buy on Etsy.
• 7:35
  I'm going to 3D scan one of these using the Revapoint mirror scanner, which is the most user -friendly 3D scanner I've ever used.
• 7:41
  Then I can take the 3D model and 3D print it out of the glass fiber nylon to test it.
• 7:46
  Ta -da!
• 7:47
  Real bone.
• 7:48
  Well, real bone analog.
• 7:49
  I also printed several different variations, each with different wall thicknesses of the bone.
• 7:53
  Now, based on the numbers, assuming a lot of things, the real bone should still be stronger than this 3D printed one.
• 7:59
  But hopefully one of these will have comparable strength.
• 8:01
  So let's find out and see which one breaks first.
• 8:04
  Now, I could just go caveman on these bones.
• 8:22
  speakers: Ben and I have spent the past few months designing and manufacturing a prototype product for Hacksmith .Store.
• 8:27
  It's called the Smithplate.
• 8:29
  An everyday carry, reimagined, titanium multi -tooled pocket knife that looks like it's straight out of sci -fi.
• 8:34
  You see, when I was a kid, I was a boy scout.
• 8:37
  And the motto was, always be prepared.
• 8:39
  Which is definitely something that's carried through into being the Hacksmith.
• 8:42
  And I loved my Swiss Army knife.
• 8:44
  Today, the EDC tool market is dominated by just a few companies.
• 8:48
  And don't get me wrong, there are some incredible multi -tools out there.
• 8:50
  I love having pliers on me at any given time.
• 8:53
  After all, like Adam Savage says, every tool is a hammer.
• 8:56
  The right tool is the one at hand.
• 8:58
  But most multi -tools are usually too bulky or heavy for me to keep on my belt at all times.
• 9:03
  I need something smaller.
• 9:05
  Something I can take with me everywhere.
• 9:06
  Plus, it fits perfectly into the belt loop on the new Smithpants.
• 9:10
  Also coming soon.
• 9:11
  And the best form of invention, or innovation, is born of necessity.
• 9:15
  I designed the Smithblade to solve a problem in my life.
• 9:17
  And that problem is being cursed with the knowledge of how to fix things, but not always having tools with me to do it.
• 9:22
  I know you're going to love this knife.
• 9:24
  We've managed to fit a dozen tools into a slim package that weighs just over 100 grams.
• 9:28
  It features a reverse Tanto style blade, complete with a file on the back edge, usable in both positions.
• 9:34
  It's got a bottle opener and pry bar, a ruler on the back side, and a glass breaking tool and metal scribe.
• 9:39
  Some tweezers, a 4mm hex driver integrated into the end, and integrated storage for 4 4mm hex bits, including a pen.
• 9:46
  It's awesome, and the prototype has already saved my butt numerous times.
• 9:50
  Not only do I carry this personally every day, but my team does as well.
• 9:54
  So these have been tested on a day -to -day basis to prove this is the best product we've ever made, and the best multi -tool you can own.
• 10:00
  I'm hoping to launch this in the next few months, and we'll even be manufacturing the Founder's Edition right here in Herc.
• 10:07
  It'll be a limited run, so sign up for updates at Hacksmith .store to make sure you don't miss the opportunity to get your hands on one of the best products we've ever
• 10:15
  designed.
• 10:16
  Alright, so, a 3D model of my skeleton.
• 10:18
  Well, I've got a bunch of MRIs of my spine from over the years because of the back pain I've been dealing with since 2020.
• 10:24
  Now, I'm happy to say that my back is actually doing a lot better thanks to some cutting -edge technology in Dubai with a doctor I know who's at the forefront of regenerative medicine.
• 10:31
  And maybe a little thanks to the Super Soldier Serum I took while I was there, but more on that in a future video.
• 10:37
  Because, you know, just coating my skeleton isn't enough to become Wolverine.
• 10:41
  So, these are my MRIs, and this is the open -source medical imaging software called slicer .org.
• 10:46
  It's got a pretty steep learning curve, but it's pretty fascinating when you get the hang of it.
• 10:50
  I looked up some tutorials on creating 3D models from your medical images, and, well, since MRIs are for soft tissue typically, it turns out it's not great for
• 10:58
  getting a 3D model of your bones out of it.
• 11:00
  But, it looks like if you get a CT scan done, it's relatively easy to get a 3D model of your skeleton out of those files.
• 11:06
  CT scans are a bit more expensive than MRIs, and typically you don't have them done unless you've got some serious medical issues.
• 11:12
  It's a lot of radiation because a CT scan is like a rotating x -ray.
• 11:16
  But unlike when you get a broken bone x -rayed, which might be three or four x -rays at different angles, a CT scan is hundreds to thousands of x -rays
• 11:24
  rotating around your body.
• 11:26
  Yikes.
• 11:27
  Luckily, technology has come a long way, and while it used to kind of be a last resort style of imaging, the newer equipment is significantly safer.
• 11:34
  Or, at least that's what I'm told.
• 11:36
  I'm not a doctor.
• 11:37
  So, I started calling up different medical imaging clinics to see if anyone would let me take an optional, just for research, CT scan.
• 11:44
  And luckily, I found the perfect business called CanMax Medical Imaging, run by a guy named Jennerino.
• 11:49
  I like what CanMax Medical Imaging is offering.
• 11:51
  I met with the team, and part of their goal is getting Canadians medical imaging they need, fast and affordable.
• 11:57
  Jennerino offered to bring me down to one of their partner clinics in Buffalo, called Western New York MRI.
• 12:02
  My name is Jennerino Lamacchia.
• 12:04
  I'm the president and founder of CanMax Medical Imaging.
• 12:07
  We're standing in front of the PET CT scanner.
• 12:09
  Today, James has joined us to do a CT scan, where we're going to do a three -dimensional reconstruction of those CT slices.
• 12:17
  Next, we delve into the testing phase of these innovations.
• 12:23
  Interviewer: Can you zoom in on the skull?
• 12:24
  Does that not give you a little bit of like, chills?
• 12:26
  Oh, God.
• 12:28
  Alright, now I'm getting some like, existential dread.
• 12:31
  This is really cool.
• 12:32
  I'll have to make a miniature 3D printed model.
• 12:34
  We can sell keychains.
• 12:35
  Keychains with my skeleton.
• 12:36
  It's a good thing that I'm not the tallest guy around, because I was just short enough to be scanned fully in a single pass.
• 12:42
  I guess I've got that in common with my favorite hero as well.
• 12:45
  They also sat me down with another doctor and radiologist for almost an hour, and we went through my entire scan looking for any abnormalities.
• 12:51
  And I'm happy to say, I've got a clean bill of health.
• 12:54
  Would have been pretty ironic if we discovered something after doing the CT scan for this project.
• 12:59
  Though it probably would have made for a better video.
• 13:02
  Armed with my CT scan in hand, we can finally get this project started for real.
• 13:06
  Interviewee: I popped open the files in slicer and wow, the CT scan really does capture everything.
• 13:11
  You can even see the veins in my arms.
• 13:13
  You can see the wrinkles in the t -shirt I was wearing.
• 13:16
  The metal and screw in my hands and even the stainless steel wire from a hernia repair I had done a few years ago.
• 13:22
  This, this is so cool.
• 13:24
  The software shows a volume rendering of my skeleton, but unfortunately that's just a graphical representation.
• 13:29
  And you can't actually just export it as an STL file for 3D printing.
• 13:34
  As it turns out, there's actually a lot of manual work to get a good 3D model out of these images.
• 13:40
  Because they're essentially just grayscale slices of my body where the brighter the color, the more dense the substance being x -rayed is.
• 13:46
  Makes sense.
• 13:48
  Remember how bone has a spongy bone center
• 13:50
  speakers: Analyzing the results, we uncover the intricacies of the testing process.
• 13:54
  Interviewer: Well, the front of your ribs don't even show up in the default settings because they're more cancellous than compact bone.
• 14:00
  You need to tweak the threshold values to create a 3D model.
• 14:03
  But even then, to get a really good 3D model, you have to go in and essentially paint or rotoscope out the bones to create the model, slice by
• 14:11
  slice.
• 14:12
  speakers: Moving from cancellous than to time painted, what changed?
• 14:18
  Interviewee: I took my time and painted out my left collarbone.
• 14:20
  I chose the collarbone because it's a very common bone to break.
• 14:23
  It's nice and small, so it'll be easy to 3D print a lot of them.
• 14:26
  And we should be able to do our tests quite easily with it.
• 14:29
  For the rest of the skeleton though, it's going to take a while.
• 14:32
  So let's just print the collarbone for now.
• 14:34
  speakers: Now, let's discuss the implications of these findings.
• 14:37
  Interviewer: Ta -da!
• 14:38
  One Hacksmith collarbone.
• 14:40
  Funky.
• 14:41
  Okay, now that we have one of my bones in a similar -ish material to bone, it's almost time to coat it in metal.
• 14:48
  But these are strong printed this way, but weak printed this way.
• 14:52
  Which means I'm going to need the collarbone printed in a different method.
• 14:56
  Something that is a bit more homogenous and isotropic.
• 14:58
  In fact, it's one of the oldest 3D printing technologies.
• 15:02
  Stereolithography, or SLA for short.
• 15:04
  Now, we do have some resin printers here, but since we're going to need a lot of bones, I went to JLC3DP .com instead.
• 15:10
  They offer incredible prices and super fast turnaround times for 3D printing and even CNC machining.
• 15:15
  I decided to order every material they offered to find the strongest, most similar to bone, beyond the ones we have printed here in -house.
• 15:22
  All at 100 % density.
• 15:28
  speakers: Moving from Hacksmith collarbone to Alright these, what changed?
• 15:32
  Interviewee: Alright, so these are all the specimens that we tested.
• 15:35
  And right off the bat, we can tell that any of these long ones that have a big curve, we don't want.
• 15:40
  Because that means they had some plastic deformation, which means the bone would have bent instead of breaking.
• 15:45
  Which limits us to any of these more straight lines.
• 15:48
  And the best performing one is the one I was expecting.
• 15:51
  The neon colored bone, which is resin 8228.
• 15:55
  When we look at the Sharpie test results, we can also see the neon or the 8228 resin also performed pretty well.
• 16:02
  Imagine Black was slightly better, but the tolerance of that machine was questionable at best.
• 16:08
  So I'm happy with these results.
• 16:09
  Just as I predicted, this faintly green, almost radioactive looking material is our strongest contender.
• 16:19
  speakers: The nanovate coating process results in a grain structure that is significantly smaller than traditional methods. Imagine having bones 16. 4 times stronger than they are now by coating them in nanovate.
• 16:33
  Interviewee: My bones!
• 16:34
  Look at all of them!
• 16:35
  So many different materials.
• 16:36
  I even had a few printed out of metal.
• 16:39
  Pure 316L stainless steel.
• 16:41
  It's so heavy.
• 16:42
  Imagine how heavy I'd be if my entire skeleton was made of pure metal, and not just metal plated.
• 16:47
  Wait, I don't even need to imagine.
• 16:49
  speakers: As we weigh the results, what does this mean for future applications?
• 16:54
  I would weigh 330 pounds, or almost 150 kilograms.
• 17:00
  Man, you're heavy.
• 17:02
  Yeah, I put on a little weight recently.
• 17:03
  Without any of my external proportions changing.
• 17:08
  Imagine how hard I could punch.
• 17:10
  We've got to decide which one of these bones we're going to use for all our tests going forwards, and the one that we're actually going to metal plate.
• 17:17
  I think it's going to be this one, but engineering is all about practical science.
• 17:21
  So let's go back to school and prove this is the strongest bone.
• 17:25
  And then we can coat it in metal.
• 17:26
  You might be wondering what I've been doing while the Hacksmith does all the work.
• 17:30
  Was I watching him from the shadows?
• 17:32
  Maybe.
• 17:35
  Shifting gears, we explore the gaming aspect of these technologies.
• 17:43
  Interviewee: where players battle against each other in an epic matchup of wits and creativity with a chance to bluff for even bigger rewards as you climb through the ranks.
• 17:50
  Each game only takes three minutes, so you have to think fast to make the most of every opportunity to outplay or out -bluff your opponents.
• 17:56
  The current season of Marble Snap is themed all around Deadpool and Wolverine, so hot tip, make a deck that features the Deadpool card who returns to your hand with double the power
• 18:04
  every time he's destroyed.
• 18:05
  Kind of OP.
• 18:06
  And speaking of Deadpool, Marble Snap just put out a limited -time event called Deadpool's Diner where you can earn up to 32 rewards including a brand new card,
• 18:14
  Cassandra Nova.
• 18:15
  But act fast.
• 18:16
  The mode is only live until August 6th.
• 18:19
  And besides the addicting gameplay, at the core of Marble Snap is art.
• 18:22
  The game is packed with thousands of amazing card art variants created by renowned artists from across the globe.
• 18:27
  Your eyeballs and inner collector will thank you.
• 18:30
  So what are you waiting for?
• 18:31
  Right after you finish watching this video, go check out Marble Snap and get those login rewards.
• 18:35
  You don't want to miss the exclusive Deadpool variant reward on Day 7.
• 18:38
  Use my link below to download the game and play.
• 18:41
  Big thank you to Marble Snap for sponsoring this portion of the video.
• 18:43
  speakers: Next, we consider the broader implications of these advancements.
• 18:48
  Hard to believe I graduated 12 years ago now.
• 18:51
  Luckily, I still know some of the profs here and I got access to the Materia Science Lab.
• 18:55
  Alright, we got the Instrong calibrated and we've got all of our samples.
• 18:58
  So time to run through all of them.
• 19:21
  Interviewee: Get your safety gear at Axanthus store.
• 19:23
  And Wade, you want some?
• 19:25
  Absolutely not!
• 19:27
  Suit yourself.
• 19:28
  Go!
• 19:32
  Oh!
• 19:33
  Oh!
• 19:34
  Oh!
• 19:37
  Alright.
• 19:38
  speakers: Moving from Alright we're to company called, what changed?
• 19:43
  Interviewer: Now, I was hoping to electroplate these bones ourselves here in the shop.
• 19:47
  But unfortunately, it's actually a lot harder than it looks.
• 19:50
  We should probably let a professional shop do it.
• 19:52
  But luckily, it turns out that the world leader in metallurgical nanotechnologies is just an hour away.
• 19:58
  The company is called Integra, and they're pushing the boundaries of lighter, better, and cheaper with their patented electro deposited nano crystalline
• 20:05
  nanovate metal platform.
• 20:07
  speakers: Transitioning to the next phase, we explore the scaling of these materials.
• 20:13
  Interviewee: I'm not reading all that.
• 20:14
  Just like adamantium, their coating process even has a cool name.
• 20:19
  Nanovate.
• 20:19
  Not quite Iron Man nanotechnology that everyone's been bugging me to recreate, but it's pretty close.
• 20:24
  You see, this isn't your normal, run -of -the -mill electroplating process.
• 20:29
  Their proprietary process actually forms a nano crystalline brain structure in the alloys during coating.
• 20:35
  Hence, nanotechnology.
• 20:37
  But what does that even mean?
• 20:39
  I'll try and explain it simply.
• 20:40
  One of the main factors of how strong a metal is, is based on the crystalline grain structure of the alloy that you can see under a microscope.
• 20:47
  If you're familiar with knives as an example, you'll know that they can be heat treated to be made stronger, via tempering, or annealed to be made weaker and easier to work
• 20:55
  with.
• 20:56
  What's actually happening when you heat treat, quench, and temper a knife is the reforming of the grain structure of the metal to be smaller.
• 21:03
  The grains shrink in size to increase strength, typically in the 5 to 30 micron range.
• 21:08
  The opposite occurs when annealing.
• 21:10
  The reason the integrin's coating is so incredible is because the alloy is grown in the nanometer scale for the crystalline structure, with no heat treating
• 21:18
  required.
• 21:19
  The average grain size can be as small as 5 nanometers.
• 21:22
  And a nanometer is a thousandth of a micron, which is a thousandth of a millimeter.
• 21:26
  Which means the grain structure of integrin's coating is almost a thousand times smaller than a normal heat treated steel.
• 21:33
  Now, according to integrin, they have had some of their nanobate alloy made using a more traditional electroplating process, where the grain size is in the 1
• 21:41
  to 2 micron range.
• 21:43
  Its tensile strength?
• 21:44
  Only about 400 to 500 megapascals.
• 21:47
  About the same as steel.
• 21:48
  But when they coat a part using their process, they can get the grain size down to as small as 5 nanometers, over 200 times smaller.
• 21:55
  And its ultimate strength jumps up 5x to 2 ,000 megapascals.
• 22:00
  That's crazy!
• 22:01
  So why is this important?
• 22:03
  Well, being able to turn complicated 3D printed parts into super strong composites with a metalized layer on the outside, it's potentially game -changing for low
• 22:10
  production run parts.
• 22:11
  The machining, forming, or casting required to make a complicated metal part is super expensive and time -consuming, and only comes down in price of
• 22:19
  mass production.
• 22:20
  Metal 3D printing is advancing, but it's still super expensive.
• 22:24
  With their nanobate coating, you could turn a part that you printed on a cheap resin 3D printer into a production -grade composite part with the strength to match.
• 22:33
  This is huge!
• 22:34
  And even better, when we told them about our idea, they were all in to help make it happen.
• 22:44
  speakers: Alright, here they are!
• 22:45
  Yeah, it's like awesome!
• 22:46
  So we got the copper, and we got the N1210 alloy, and then the R3010, the super strong stuff.
• 22:54
  Yeah, so we have the two different alloys.
• 22:55
  It's the nickel -cobalt material, which has the 1600 mpa tensile strength, and then the cobalt -phosphorus coating, which has the
• 23:03
  2000 mpa tensile strength.
• 23:05
  That feels so weird, because it's so light.
• 23:07
  Yeah, but it looks like copper.
• 23:08
  Yeah, so that's just the copper coating.
• 23:11
  So they all have a base layer of copper.
• 23:17
  Moving from Alright here to found real, what changed?
• 23:22
  Interviewee: Okay.
• 23:23
  So why did that happen?
• 23:24
  Because the stainless steel is not actually as strong as our super alloy nanovate.
• 23:29
  But stainless steel has a lot more ductility.
• 23:32
  So I guarantee when we pull it out, it's going to be bent a little bit.
• 23:35
  And basically it absorbed all the impact, all the potential energy into bending the stainless steel.
• 23:42
  It didn't move.
• 23:43
  Wow.
• 23:44
  I graphed all the data from the tests and I think we found our real life version of adamantium.
• 23:49
  By coating our bone analog in just a thousand microns of the nanovate N1210 alloy, it performed 16 .4 times stronger than bone,
• 23:57
  breaking at 21 ,000 newtons of force.
• 23:59
  That's approximately 2100 kilograms or around 4600 pounds.
• 24:03
  To put that in a different perspective that is easier to understand, the bone analog broke at about 1300 newtons, about 133
• 24:11
  kilograms or nearly 300 pounds.
• 24:14
  If I loaded up a barbell with 300 pounds and balanced it on my collar bone, hypothetically, that's
• 24:21
  right around the weight that might break the collar bone.
• 24:25
  Now, obviously I'm not going to do that because I don't want to break my collar bone.
• 24:28
  But imagine having bones 16 .4 times stronger than they are now by coating them in nanovate.
• 24:33
  I would weigh a bit more, but it wouldn't be that crazy.
• 24:36
  My skeleton weighs about 36 .42.
• 24:38
  Do you not find that I achieve in density at 3 .4?
• 24:39
  213 pounds.
• 24:40
  50 pounds more than I do right now, but my skeleton would be 16 .4 times stronger.
• 24:46
  Which means, for the exact same example, I could load this barbell up with 2100 kilograms or 4600 pounds.
• 24:54
  It's hard to visualize that because that would be well over 4 times the world record for the maximum human squat.
• 24:59
  They don't make a barbell big enough or strong enough to hold that kind of weight.
• 25:04
  But you know what is easy to visualize?
• 25:10
  speakers: As we increase the thickness of the materials, we notice that the breakage isn't occurring in a perfect shear line. The other alloy outperformed the thickness, indicating that the bonding might not be ideal. This is where it gets interesting as we analyze the strength of the materials.
• 25:28
  Interviewee: Of course, it can be violent.
• 25:33
  We're almost done.
• 25:36
  You know what's interesting though about how this is breaking?
• 25:39
  Like, it's as you get up to the thicker materials, you see how it's not coming like in a perfect shear line.
• 25:44
  It's leaving even the other material left this large tab.
• 25:46
  Yeah, we can literally see the other alloy.
• 25:49
  It did not bond super well.
• 25:52
  No.
• 25:52
  The other alloy outperformed that thickness.
• 25:55
  Oh, this is where it changed.
• 25:56
  Young's modules are still higher, so technically better.
• 26:00
  That's interesting.
• 26:01
  We're gonna have to go over these calculations.
• 26:04
  We're on to hypothetically the strongest bone.
• 26:08
  50 microns of copper, 150 microns of N1210, and then 1 .2 millimeters of the R3010, which again has the
• 26:15
  UTS of 2000 MPa.
• 26:18
  Normal steel is about 400.
• 26:20
  Perfect.
• 26:23
  It's hard to tell because they all seem to like fail like different timing wise.
• 26:30
  speakers: 316L stainless steel is designed to bend rather than break, which is crucial for our tests. We didn't expect it to hold up under such pressure, but it did.
• 26:42
  Interviewee: 316L stainless steel.
• 26:44
  I think it's going to bend and not break.
• 26:47
  Oh, oh, we didn't.
• 26:49
  speakers: With their nanovate coating, you could turn a part that you printed on a cheap resin 3D printer into a production-grade composite part with the strength to match.
• 27:00
  Interviewee: That's stronger.
• 27:01
  Blocked in at about 45 foot pounds.
• 27:07
  Woo hoo.
• 27:08
  There
• 27:12
  speakers: The performance of the materials is highlighted.
• 27:15
  Wow, you can see the metal folding and rippling.
• 27:20
  Alright, let's run the numbers.
• 27:23
  686.
• 27:24
  So, yep.
• 27:27
  Interviewer: Stronger than the other alloy.
• 27:28
  So, speaking of breaking things.
• 27:31
  Have you looked at the edge?
• 27:33
  We are defeating the tool steel.
• 27:35
  You can just look at that and be like, yeah, that's some good quality steel.
• 27:38
  Well, it is.
• 27:38
  And this thin coating of our super alloy.
• 27:42
  That's A2 tool steel.
• 27:46
  500 micrometers of our 3010 sample number 9.
• 27:53
  speakers: And then the nickel -cobalt ones have the copper and nickel -cobalt, and the cobalt -phosphorus have the copper, nickel -cobalt, and cobalt
• 28:01
  -phosphorus top layer.
• 28:02
  But I'm really excited to see these results.
• 28:04
  I'm going to have to weigh each of them too, so we can basically grade them based on mass as well as strength.
• 28:12
  Because for all we know, the more typical alloy used, the 1210, might perform better in certain circumstances.
• 28:20
  Right, yeah.
• 28:21
  Or based on weight.
• 28:23
  So it'll be interesting to see.
• 28:24
  Excellent.
• 28:25
  I look forward to seeing the results.
• 28:26
  All right.
• 28:27
  Thanks again.
• 28:28
  Yeah, thanks.
• 28:28
  So we've got all of our samples metal -plated, and now we're going to see just how strong they are.
• 28:34
  So this is just the plain bone analog.
• 28:36
  Bending.
• 28:39
  Well, it's the same as last time, which means the data will be comparable.
• 28:42
  So all of these actually have the same coating of copper on them.
• 28:46
  This is the first step of the electroplating process.
• 28:48
  I thought it would be interesting to see, because copper isn't actually a very strong material.
• 28:53
  It's very ductile.
• 28:54
  I'm going to be like slightly stronger than the bare bone.
• 29:05
  By what?
• 29:10
  As we discuss strength comparisons, what are the key takeaways?
• 29:14
  Interviewee: Moving up to the 150 microns of the N -1210 nanovate.
• 29:20
  Interviewer: 52 pickups.
• 29:22
  With my skeleton.
• 29:23
  That's disgusting!
• 29:25
  All right.
• 29:25
  Here we go.
• 29:26
  Seemed early.
• 29:29
  Oh!
• 29:29
  That already over doubled the strength.
• 29:33
  And quadrupled the Young's modulus, which we don't think is correct in the software, because it's a complex shape, not a simple bar.
• 29:40
  But that's awesome!
• 29:41
  All right, so we're going to double the thickness.
• 29:45
  All right, everyone ready?
• 29:49
  Huh.
• 29:50
  Yeah.
• 29:51
  The other alloy actually outperformed it.
• 29:53
  Now, I wonder if that has anything to do with the lamination that we saw, because they're not acting as one.
• 29:59
  Because I feel like based on the earlier number, if we just had like a pure 1 .5 millimeter layer of 3010, it would probably
• 30:07
  perform better.
• 30:08
  This is solid.
• 30:09
  It's pure 100 % stainless steel.
• 30:11
  So I wanted to print this one as a kind of other baseline of you just had full out metal bones.
• 30:22
  speakers: Moving from other alloy to Young's modulus, what changed?
• 30:28
  Interviewee: We're up to Young's modulus of 5 ,300.
• 30:32
  And that was over 536 kilogram force.
• 30:36
  This is amazing.
• 30:41
  speakers: Moving from Young's modulus to wouldn't want, what changed?
• 30:45
  Interviewer: That was lucky.
• 30:46
  Yeah.
• 30:47
  That's why you wouldn't want bones made of stainless steel because if Wolverine got into a fight with Magneto, he could literally make him
• 30:55
  a human pretzel and he wouldn't be able to heal his way out of it.
• 30:59
  Ooh, that would be torture.
• 31:00
  Ooh.
• 31:00
  It took a big force though.
• 31:02
  1500.
• 31:03
  So the second highest force, but it deflected 26 millimeters.
• 31:10
  If you look right here, you see how the purple line is straight, but only up to about 200 and then it starts.
• 31:16
  So that's, that's the plastic deformation zone.
• 31:20
  If we stopped the test at around 200, this bone would have rebounded and become straight.
• 31:26
  We're actually getting a more standard stress strain graph.
• 31:29
  So we got our data from the three point bend test.
• 31:31
  We're going to see how these line up with the chills and his force.
• 31:35
  Yep.
• 31:35
  The copper provided zero protection.
• 31:42
  speakers: Moving from wouldn't want to going according, what changed?
• 31:46
  Interviewer: It's all going according to plan.
• 31:48
  All right, so now we're doubling that again.
• 31:49
  speakers: Now, let's consider the implications of these findings on future designs.
• 31:55
  Interviewee: We've gone up to 10 ,000 on the Young's modulus when we start at 840.
• 32:00
  It is doubling quite nicely.
• 32:02
  Like 500 to 1 ,000.
• 32:03
  And we're not even done yet.
• 32:05
  We've got one more thickness to go.
• 32:06
  And this isn't even the strong alloy.
• 32:08
  We are up to 1 millimeters of the N1210.
• 32:15
  Like that is solid.
• 32:19
  That had a thunk.
• 32:20
  We should knock the bar off of the press.
• 32:24
  The anvil.
• 32:25
  We're working on breaking the machine.
• 32:27
  Interviewer: Okay, here we go.
• 32:29
  Calculations.
• 32:32
  It is scaling exactly the way you think it would.
• 32:35
  Yeah.
• 32:35
  We're literally up to 2 ,100 kilograms.
• 32:40
  We started with the bare bone 133.
• 32:44
  In the Young's modulus, the software's best attempt at calculating that.
• 32:48
  This is the exciting part because we're moving on to the other alloy that they use specifically for structural.
• 32:56
  It's 2000 MPa ultimate tensile strength.
• 33:03
  Interviewee: Yeah, a bit more.
• 33:07
  Alright, nice and slow.
• 33:13
  Real life, adamantium bone.
• 33:16
  This is crazy.
• 33:17
  I did not expect it to actually work.
• 33:20
  That collarbone has a millimeter of the super alloy.
• 33:27
  Whoa, look at it vibrate.
• 33:29
  I don't like that.
• 33:33
  It makes it look light.
• 33:34
  Perfect.
• 33:35
  I'm so strong.
• 33:36
  Alright, set her down.
• 33:40
  speakers: Moving from Alright nice to foot pounds, what changed?
• 33:44
  Interviewer: we go.
• 33:45
  We're up to 80 foot pounds.
• 33:47
  76.
• 33:49
  Woo hoo.
• 33:51
  It is showing the data we want to see.
• 33:53
  120 foot pounds.
• 33:57
  140.
• 34:00
  190.
• 34:01
  Go.
• 34:02
  speakers: Moving from foot pounds to there's something, what changed?
• 34:06
  Second last one.
• 34:09
  Okay.
• 34:09
  Okay.
• 34:10
  Okay.
• 34:10
  So why did that happen?
• 34:11
  So there's something about the combination of them that doesn't actually do it any justice.
• 34:21
  The effectiveness of the nanovate coating is emphasized.
• 34:26
  Interviewee: At me, alright.
• 34:28
  Real life adamantium.
• 34:29
  I am being held up by a one -to -one copy of my collarbone.
• 34:35
  This is kind of terrifying.
• 34:36
  speakers: Moving from Real life to Time next, what changed?
• 34:40
  Interviewer: Time for the next dangerous one.
• 34:42
  Pure stainless bone.
• 34:43
  It's also a little inaccuracy.
• 34:46
  It's a good thing I'm not defending a doctorate or something.
• 34:52
  Yes!
• 34:53
  Yeah, baby!
• 34:58
  speakers: Moving from Time next to single mark, what changed?
• 35:01
  Interviewee: I don't see a single mark on this thing.
• 35:04
  Did you tell where we left
• 35:09
  speakers: Moving from single mark to zero damage, what changed?
• 35:13
  Interviewer: Well, it came off the bat, but zero damage.
• 35:16
  Now, that was about 100 miles per hour.
• 35:18
  But we can crank this thing up to 11.
• 35:20
  We clocked it at over 150 miles per hour.
• 35:23
  If we put a bit more pressure in.
• 35:25
  The fastest pitch recorded in the world, I think, is around 105 miles an hour.
• 35:29
  So this is way beyond human beings.
• 35:32
  Let's charge her up.
• 35:34
  Wade, do you want to do the honors?
• 35:37
  I thought you'd never ask.
• 35:41
  Three, two, one.
• 35:48
  speakers: Moving from zero damage to world's largest, what changed?
• 35:51
  This is our world's largest Thor hammer, weighing in at 4 ,444 pounds or about 2 ,015 kilograms.
• 36:00
  Which, conveniently, is just under the ultimate strength of our nanovate bone.
• 36:05
  Which means, we should be able to pick up this hammer using just this bone.
• 36:10
  But first, I'll show you
• 36:24
  Interviewer: it again, but this time, with the nanovate.
• 36:31
  speakers: Moving from Alright let's to Alright want, what changed?
• 36:36
  Over there.
• 36:37
  Over there?
• 36:38
  Yeah, I hit the wall.
• 36:39
  What?
• 36:41
  Alright, I want to see this bat break.
• 36:45
  Three, two, one.
• 36:47
  Whoa!
• 36:52
  Moving from Alright want to quite hand, what changed?
• 36:56
  Interviewer: I'll do that.
• 36:57
  That works for me.
• 36:58
  You know, I quite like this hand axe.
• 37:01
  I think it's safe to say that this nanotech coating of nanobate alloy is so far one of the closest real life versions of adamantium out
• 37:09
  there.
• 37:10
  I mean, the skull literally took a 27 ton excavator just to dent it a little bit.
• 37:15
  And I think Wolverine will be fine.
• 37:18
  Now, I think there's a few more questions that need to be answered in a future video.
• 37:22
  So, if this video does well, I'm gonna have my entire skeleton made.
• 37:25
  Metal -plated nanobate and then put inside a ballistic lab dummy to be tested to the real limits.
• 37:31
  Make sure you subscribe and don't forget to follow me on Instagram too, at TheHacksmith, because you're not gonna want to miss that video.
• 37:37
  And go check out hacksmith .store to grab a collectible nanobate collarbone.
• 37:40
  Now, I gotta go see Deadpool 3.
• 37:42
  I promised myself I wouldn't see it until I got this video out for you guys.
• 37:51
  speakers: Moving from quite hand to Through mechanical, what changed?
• 37:54
  Interviewee: Through the mechanical ring.
• 37:56
  And you can feel that.
• 37:57
  It's not round anymore.
• 37:58
  It's not round.
• 38:00
  You know, I've been thinking.
• 38:02
  Who needs claws
• 38:07
  Interviewer: I am trusting this real life adamantium.
• 38:10
  Or will it shoot if it breaks?
• 38:13
  At you.
• 38:17
  Interviewee: Didn't have a good handle hold, you know?
• 38:24
  Interviewer: Alright, bring me down.
• 38:25
  Look at that.
• 38:26
  We did it.
• 38:27
  I can't believe that.
• 38:28
  We found real life adamantium.
• 38:31
  Alright, let's see if there's any damage on this thing.
• 38:34
  Interviewee: During the electroplating process, there are some bubbles.
• 38:38
  So this is actually like a compromised bone.
• 38:41
  And it still held up the Thor hammer.
• 38:43
  So for reference, this is how thick the coating is.
• 38:46
  About a millimeter.
• 38:47
  A thousand microns.
• 38:49
  We've shown just how strong these nanovape bones are.
• 38:52
  But I want to show it in a more practical sense.
• 38:55
  I've painstakingly recreated the scenario in which I broke my own hand.
• 39:01
  speakers: The impact test showed that the coated hand didn't stand a chance against a 100-mile-per-hour baseball.
• 39:07
  That wasn't just a fifth metacarpal.
• 39:10
  That was literally everything.
• 39:11
  It's amazing how much flesh and muscle keep your bones from exploding everywhere.
• 39:15
  It didn't stand a chance.
• 39:18
  I had the same hand printed and coded in nanovape.
• 39:21
  Let's see how it fares.
