well well well... Hemp. It's got allot going on. besides being related to Marijuana, besides being over looked. What's it good for, by the way why would I want to talk about it on a modding forum?
well *see the three wells above* Hemp fibers bio degradable easy to grow and produce can be made into plastics, paper, rope, clothing (some non hippy looking stuff my girl friend owns as it turns out is made almost entirely out of hemp, and doesn't look like a burlap sack, fact was we didn't even notice till I saw the tag one day) hemp harts make great food, it's seeds can be turned into oils (famous for it's longevity as a lamp oil) and Bio diesel. (really good stuff too, one tank would take you around the USA, and if you wanted to you could drink it as food, try that with diesel or any alternative fuel.) well hemp has allot of history in the USA a country now demonizing it for the last century because of it's relation to Marijuana. Besides all the things weed is good for (Cancer, chronic pain, watching sponge bob, glaucoma, MS, all sorts of stuff I wont go into) weed has clamed NOT ONE LIFE EVER, compared to smoking, Gasoline and alcohol.
I'll be clear however, this is not about Pot. In fact, lets say every thing about Pot I know for a fact is a lie. What makes Hemp out side the law? if it was embraced by industry would we not have even more uses for it? would it be conceivable to run cars off of it? the growth of hemp is only 110 days. the land it uses would retain the roots of the plant. it's a vary simple harvest, cut the stalks off and then it's fermentation it like you where making wine. you need to make a portion of the material into ethanol (further distilling) to ignite it, then it's a far more abundant fuel. the land left is tilled the crop rotated and in the next season you have another go at it. the soil is better off with it. unlike corn there is little need for pesticide and its a far shorter grow period, with multiple yields in a season.
the problem thing. Political climate... search youtube Fords Hemp car 1930s.
Politics are not my deal. Materials and building things makes me political though.
there are allot of places growing hemp any way. allot of countries it doesn't matter and is pretty well endorsed. changing the industry is like changing the political climate they will only do it when they realise they are missing out.
I'm wondering about our precious semiconductors, is this a possiblity with Bio mas? I'll be asking Sciforums too to see what kind of response I can get. but besides the idea that a few plants in my backyard over the summer I would beable to make a sweet project case with out melting plastics in my basment seems like a good spring or summer project and subversion to any weed I might want to be growing else ware. plus free matterials that just grow out of the ground by them selfs is pretty sweet.... Consoles that grow out of the ground... Cases first..
Hemp fiber is easy to get. once you have the plants, you strip the stalks into fibers. Hemps superior to many other plants because the fibers stay at a few feet in length... wile red woods (nearest thing compeating with it) are just a few inches. so you have these dry fibers. like making fiber glass, the resin is your hemp seed oil. the fiber lays out, apply resin, repeat... the fiber is strong and has been made in the past into many things. Cell phones, cars, cookingware... all sorts of crap.
Well isn't it a drug? Marijuana is a drug (on freaking paper, but there are more drugs, and more screwed up ones in breakfast cereals, but you still eat that don't you?) Hemp how ever HAS NO DRUGS IN IT!!! it's a close friend but it's that non stoned productive misunderstood weed no one can admit works crazy hard.
I'll end on the note that hemp paper is better takes less to make, the US declaration of independence is written on the stuff... if you have scene it, it' still white too... after how long?
it takes up to 80 years to grow a forest to be clear cut, it takes 110 days for hemp to be paper, seeds to books, in a few weeks not a few decades.
I'm willing to bet there are ways to get semi conductors out of plants. Hemp has more uses as a plant that any other, if some plant can help the way we make computers, cases and components it's going to be hemp.
Any way... GiverGiver
