2
00:00:05,068 --> 00:00:08,034
Captions paid for by
Discovery communications
3
00:00:53,172 --> 00:00:55,758
Narrator: a sail is essentially
A vertical wing
4
00:00:55,862 --> 00:00:57,896
That provides forward thrust
And lift
5
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,482
To propel a boat over water.
6
00:00:59,586 --> 00:01:02,448
It's impossible to know
Who came up with the concept
7
00:01:02,551 --> 00:01:05,310
Because boats with sails
Have been plying waterways
8
00:01:05,413 --> 00:01:06,689
For thousands of years.
9
00:01:06,793 --> 00:01:08,000
But there's no doubt
10
00:01:08,103 --> 00:01:10,655
That when it comes to their
Design and construction,
11
00:01:10,758 --> 00:01:13,241
Today's sails have come
A long way.
12
00:01:15,448 --> 00:01:18,068
For thousands of years,
Sails were square,
13
00:01:18,172 --> 00:01:19,551
But in the 3rd century,
14
00:01:19,655 --> 00:01:22,551
Triangular sails appeared
On the mediterranean.
15
00:01:22,655 --> 00:01:25,551
The shape enabled boats
To sail into the wind,
16
00:01:25,655 --> 00:01:27,620
As well as with it.
17
00:01:30,241 --> 00:01:35,137
Modern racing sails are made
Of laminated synthetics.
18
00:01:35,241 --> 00:01:37,793
They start
With a plastic membrane.
19
00:01:37,896 --> 00:01:40,137
Rollers apply
A hot liquid adhesive
20
00:01:40,241 --> 00:01:42,206
To one side in measured amounts,
21
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:47,137
Because even a couple of extra
Grams would weigh down the sail.
22
00:01:48,827 --> 00:01:51,482
They press a scrim
Onto the hot adhesive.
23
00:01:51,586 --> 00:01:54,482
It's a superstrength synthetic
Called aramid,
24
00:01:54,586 --> 00:01:57,137
Which will keep the sail
From tearing.
25
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,827
Then it's over
To a computerized laser
26
00:02:01,931 --> 00:02:05,758
That cuts patterns out of
The scrim-reinforced plastic.
27
00:02:08,586 --> 00:02:10,482
A worker rolls up each panel
28
00:02:10,586 --> 00:02:13,310
To transport it
To the next worktable.
29
00:02:13,413 --> 00:02:16,275
Here, they tape 10 to 20
Of the panels together,
30
00:02:16,379 --> 00:02:21,586
Using heavy-duty p.E.T. Plastic
With an acrylic adhesive.
31
00:02:29,172 --> 00:02:32,827
Now hundreds of small jacks
Stretch aluminized plastic
32
00:02:32,931 --> 00:02:34,275
Around a framework,
33
00:02:34,379 --> 00:02:38,172
Pulling material into a curved
Aerodynamic shape.
34
00:02:38,275 --> 00:02:41,551
This mold will be used
To shape the sail.
35
00:02:44,448 --> 00:02:48,655
The team stretches
Clear plastic film over it.
36
00:02:50,413 --> 00:02:55,068
Then they drape
The joined panels over top.
37
00:02:55,172 --> 00:02:58,310
They use ropes and clamps
To pull it to the contours
38
00:02:58,413 --> 00:02:59,793
Of the mold.
39
00:03:04,793 --> 00:03:08,448
And now they're ready for some
Supertough synthetics --
40
00:03:08,551 --> 00:03:11,034
Aramid and carbon fiber yarns.
41
00:03:11,137 --> 00:03:13,413
The yarns have been coated
With adhesive
42
00:03:13,517 --> 00:03:16,206
So they'll stick
To the plastic film.
43
00:03:21,482 --> 00:03:24,206
A robot rolls the yarns
Onto the film,
44
00:03:24,310 --> 00:03:26,896
While a worker follows
In a harness overhead
45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,172
To keep an eye on the job.
46
00:03:29,275 --> 00:03:33,655
The robot applies the yarns in
A pattern plotted by an engineer
47
00:03:33,758 --> 00:03:36,758
To anticipate the wind load
On this sail.
48
00:03:40,275 --> 00:03:43,379
The robot now switches
From a vertical path
49
00:03:43,482 --> 00:03:45,103
To a horizontal one,
50
00:03:45,206 --> 00:03:48,724
Applying yarns
In a transverse pattern.
51
00:03:48,827 --> 00:03:52,586
The team installs a long, narrow
Pocket over that section.
52
00:03:52,689 --> 00:03:55,034
A batten will later be inserted
In this pocket
53
00:03:55,137 --> 00:03:57,620
To control the sail's shape.
54
00:03:57,724 --> 00:04:01,482
They pull another layer of
Scrim-enhanced plastic on top.
55
00:04:01,586 --> 00:04:05,655
And now all the layers of
This sail cloth are in place.
56
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,758
A worker hovers overhead to
Inspect the surface for defects.
57
00:04:14,931 --> 00:04:18,482
They now seal the assembled sail
In a vacuum bag
58
00:04:18,586 --> 00:04:20,000
And attach hoses.
59
00:04:25,827 --> 00:04:27,862
The hoses suck out the air,
60
00:04:27,965 --> 00:04:30,931
Pressing the layers
Of the sail together.
61
00:04:33,862 --> 00:04:36,620
Now the robot applies heat
To the sail.
62
00:04:36,724 --> 00:04:39,689
It activates the adhesives
And the plastics
63
00:04:39,793 --> 00:04:42,068
To laminate the layers together.
64
00:04:42,172 --> 00:04:44,413
And it also sets
The three-dimensional shape
65
00:04:44,517 --> 00:04:46,551
Of the sail.
66
00:04:46,655 --> 00:04:51,241
A worker inspects the job
With a magnifying glass.
67
00:04:51,344 --> 00:04:54,379
Then it's over
To a revolving sewing turret.
68
00:04:54,482 --> 00:04:58,482
As the sewing machine turns,
It pulls the sail forward,
69
00:04:58,586 --> 00:05:01,758
Allowing the operator to stitch
Hems, grommets,
70
00:05:01,862 --> 00:05:04,206
And reinforcements onto it.
71
00:05:05,517 --> 00:05:09,000
They apply the corporate logo.
72
00:05:09,103 --> 00:05:12,310
Next, a worker walks the length
Of this enormous sail
73
00:05:12,413 --> 00:05:14,206
To inspect it.
74
00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:17,068
No imperfections
Will be tolerated.
75
00:05:17,172 --> 00:05:20,034
After all,
This is a big-ticket item.
76
00:05:20,137 --> 00:05:22,241
Large racing sails can retail
77
00:05:22,344 --> 00:05:25,275
For hundreds of thousands
Of dollars.
78
00:05:28,655 --> 00:05:31,793
Sophisticated engineering
And high-tech materials
79
00:05:31,896 --> 00:05:33,620
Have produced a racing sail
80
00:05:33,724 --> 00:05:36,482
That's lightweight
Yet incredibly strong.
81
00:05:37,965 --> 00:05:39,931
There may be rough water ahead,
82
00:05:40,034 --> 00:05:42,413
But with technology
On their side,
83
00:05:42,517 --> 00:05:45,896
This crew should be able
To sail right through it.
84
00:06:01,344 --> 00:06:05,344
Narrator:
The walnut has been cultivated
For thousands of years,
85
00:06:05,448 --> 00:06:07,931
But its actual discovery
Remains a mystery.
86
00:06:08,034 --> 00:06:10,172
Some of the earliest evidence
Of the walnut
87
00:06:10,275 --> 00:06:13,689
Comes from the region of persia
In 7th century b.C.
88
00:06:13,793 --> 00:06:16,620
Back then,
Royalty had dibs on this nut,
89
00:06:16,724 --> 00:06:18,793
And commoners were forbidden
To eat it.
90
00:06:18,896 --> 00:06:21,551
Thankfully,
That's ancient history.
91
00:06:25,034 --> 00:06:27,724
Today, the walnut
Is mass-produced
92
00:06:27,827 --> 00:06:29,620
To meet a global demand.
93
00:06:29,724 --> 00:06:33,448
It starts in an orchard
Like this one in california.
94
00:06:33,551 --> 00:06:36,275
Walnuts take five years to grow,
95
00:06:36,379 --> 00:06:40,793
And they emerge shrouded
In protective husks.
96
00:06:40,896 --> 00:06:43,655
Using mechanical shakers
And sweepers,
97
00:06:43,758 --> 00:06:46,827
Workers harvest the walnuts.
98
00:06:46,931 --> 00:06:49,413
Once the husks
Have been peeled off,
99
00:06:49,517 --> 00:06:53,137
It's over to the receiving pit
At the processing plant.
100
00:06:57,241 --> 00:07:00,896
This machine separates out
Any rocks or sticks,
101
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,172
Then drops the walnuts
Into a conveyer.
102
00:07:05,931 --> 00:07:07,758
At the end of the line,
103
00:07:07,862 --> 00:07:12,379
The nuts spiral off and land
Softly in cooling bays below --
104
00:07:12,482 --> 00:07:16,793
8 bays that hold over
13 tons of walnuts.
105
00:07:16,896 --> 00:07:19,793
The walnuts are funneled
Into these sealed chambers
106
00:07:19,896 --> 00:07:23,241
For fumigation
To eliminate insects.
107
00:07:23,344 --> 00:07:26,689
After 28 hours,
They're on the move once again.
108
00:07:26,793 --> 00:07:30,137
They fall between rollers.
109
00:07:30,241 --> 00:07:32,379
The gaps between these rollers
Are tapered
110
00:07:32,482 --> 00:07:35,103
To allow the small, medium,
And large nuts
111
00:07:35,206 --> 00:07:37,448
To fall into separate lanes.
112
00:07:40,448 --> 00:07:44,413
This sorting system will allow
Them to be cracked by machines
113
00:07:44,517 --> 00:07:47,172
Geared to specific nut sizes.
114
00:07:49,379 --> 00:07:52,413
These large walnuts
Head up a conveyer
115
00:07:52,517 --> 00:07:55,827
Called the cracker belt.
116
00:07:55,931 --> 00:07:58,655
At the top,
They enter the cracker.
117
00:07:58,758 --> 00:08:01,206
It's a revolving machine
With pistons,
118
00:08:01,310 --> 00:08:03,379
One for each walnut.
119
00:08:05,586 --> 00:08:08,000
The technician
Activates the pistons
120
00:08:08,103 --> 00:08:09,758
To press against the nuts.
121
00:08:09,862 --> 00:08:13,103
The pistons apply a precise
Amount of pressure
122
00:08:13,206 --> 00:08:16,965
To crack the shells without
Damaging the nuts inside.
123
00:08:21,862 --> 00:08:25,241
The nut cracking has been slowed
For our camera,
124
00:08:25,344 --> 00:08:28,758
But in reality, this is
A high-speed operation.
125
00:08:31,172 --> 00:08:35,379
The nuts, shells and all,
Fall onto a conveyer.
126
00:08:35,482 --> 00:08:40,517
The pistons have cracked between
80% and 90% of the walnuts.
127
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:41,965
To capture the rest,
128
00:08:42,068 --> 00:08:44,620
The whole pile shakes its way
Toward a second group
129
00:08:44,724 --> 00:08:46,689
Of sizing rollers.
130
00:08:49,034 --> 00:08:51,620
The smaller pieces
Drop through the gaps
131
00:08:51,724 --> 00:08:53,586
And go for further processing.
132
00:08:53,689 --> 00:08:58,137
The larger ones continue on to
A machine called a re-cracker.
133
00:09:00,931 --> 00:09:06,344
There, the nuts travel through
Slats in a revolving cylinder.
134
00:09:06,448 --> 00:09:08,379
Inside those slats
Are little knives
135
00:09:08,482 --> 00:09:12,068
That break up the whole nuts.
136
00:09:12,172 --> 00:09:15,551
After some of the larger shells
Have been removed,
137
00:09:15,655 --> 00:09:17,379
It's on to a giant sifter.
138
00:09:17,482 --> 00:09:20,655
The nuts and shells bounce
On a shaking screen.
139
00:09:20,758 --> 00:09:22,758
The smaller bits fall through,
140
00:09:22,862 --> 00:09:25,344
And the larger ones
Remain on top.
141
00:09:30,896 --> 00:09:34,275
The holes in the screen
Become progressively larger
142
00:09:34,379 --> 00:09:36,655
To sort the pieces
Into eight sizes
143
00:09:36,758 --> 00:09:40,068
Which differ by a fraction
Of an inch.
144
00:09:40,172 --> 00:09:43,931
The bigger, choicest walnuts
Fall into a separate chute.
145
00:09:44,034 --> 00:09:48,172
The smaller pieces will be used
In baking, among other things.
146
00:09:50,172 --> 00:09:53,172
A high-speed belt
Sends nuts and shells
147
00:09:53,275 --> 00:09:54,655
Flying through the air
148
00:09:54,758 --> 00:09:58,206
To allow a computerized camera
To detect shell fragments
149
00:09:58,310 --> 00:10:02,000
And activate a system to blast
Them off the production line,
150
00:10:02,103 --> 00:10:05,413
Leaving the prized kernel,
The walnut half.
151
00:10:08,241 --> 00:10:11,103
An inspector removes
Any remaining shells
152
00:10:11,206 --> 00:10:13,172
Or unacceptable nuts.
153
00:10:13,275 --> 00:10:16,413
Then the walnuts enter
A vacuum chamber,
154
00:10:16,517 --> 00:10:19,379
Which suctions away
Any last crumbs.
155
00:10:19,482 --> 00:10:24,655
They exit on a spiraling slide
And land in a box.
156
00:10:24,758 --> 00:10:29,586
This packer portions out bulk
Product for the food industry.
157
00:10:29,689 --> 00:10:31,448
He removes nuts from the box
158
00:10:31,551 --> 00:10:34,068
Until it reaches
The correct weight.
159
00:10:38,793 --> 00:10:40,862
These walnuts are on their way
160
00:10:40,965 --> 00:10:43,517
To adding crunch and flavor
To cookies, cakes,
161
00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:45,655
And other good stuff.
162
00:10:45,758 --> 00:10:49,310
The walnuts in this box
Have taken years to grow
163
00:10:49,413 --> 00:10:51,448
And a couple hours to process,
164
00:10:51,551 --> 00:10:55,344
But in the end, the wait should
Be more than worth it.
165
00:11:10,068 --> 00:11:13,448
Narrator: on the street,
It's known as "The boot."
166
00:11:13,551 --> 00:11:16,000
Accumulate a few
Unpaid parking tickets,
167
00:11:16,103 --> 00:11:19,206
And you may very well
Find your car wearing one.
168
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:21,724
Municipalities use
Wheel immobilizers
169
00:11:21,827 --> 00:11:24,172
To clamp down on offenders,
170
00:11:24,275 --> 00:11:28,620
While universities use them to
Deter illegal parking on campus.
171
00:11:33,965 --> 00:11:35,758
The boot's dome
Goes over the rim.
172
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,206
On the other side,
173
00:11:37,310 --> 00:11:41,344
Its inner arm hooks
In between the rim and brake.
174
00:11:41,448 --> 00:11:44,655
A secure bolt clamps those outer
And inner parts together,
175
00:11:44,758 --> 00:11:47,000
Immobilizing the wheel.
176
00:11:47,103 --> 00:11:49,827
Boots must be strong
And tamper-proof,
177
00:11:49,931 --> 00:11:52,517
So the main components
Are made of steel.
178
00:11:52,620 --> 00:11:56,827
This steel tube will become
The boot's outer arm.
179
00:11:59,965 --> 00:12:02,241
This steel bar
Will become the stand
180
00:12:02,344 --> 00:12:04,965
That props up the boot
During installation.
181
00:12:06,413 --> 00:12:09,103
This flat steel bar
Will become the inner arm
182
00:12:09,206 --> 00:12:11,586
That hooks between the rim
And brake.
183
00:12:17,413 --> 00:12:20,655
They bend it lengthwise
To give it strength.
184
00:12:20,758 --> 00:12:23,482
Then they bend it
Into the final shape.
185
00:12:31,793 --> 00:12:35,241
Now back to the tube they cut
For the outer arm.
186
00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:45,620
After bending it in two spots,
187
00:12:45,724 --> 00:12:47,758
They drill two holes
For the tube
188
00:12:47,862 --> 00:12:50,413
That will house the secure bolt.
189
00:12:59,931 --> 00:13:02,896
They bend a flat steel bar
To make a stiffener
190
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,931
That reinforces the inner arm.
191
00:13:06,517 --> 00:13:09,758
Meanwhile, that steel bar
They cut to make the stand
192
00:13:09,862 --> 00:13:12,758
Goes onto a machine called
A rod bender.
193
00:13:24,586 --> 00:13:27,965
A welder now fuses the tube
To the outer arm...
194
00:13:29,379 --> 00:13:33,655
...Then welds that assembly
To a part called the body box.
195
00:13:40,793 --> 00:13:43,551
After welding the stiffener
To the inner arm,
196
00:13:43,655 --> 00:13:46,344
He welds a pin through holes
In both the arm
197
00:13:46,448 --> 00:13:48,620
And the other end
Of the body box.
198
00:13:48,724 --> 00:13:51,206
So now the inner arm
Hinges on the box.
199
00:13:53,172 --> 00:13:57,758
After a coat of baked-on enamel,
The boot's body is complete.
200
00:13:57,862 --> 00:14:01,482
The dome measures 12 inches
In diameter.
201
00:14:04,862 --> 00:14:07,655
First,
They weld a bracket to it.
202
00:14:07,758 --> 00:14:10,931
Next, they fit a sleeve
Into the bracket
203
00:14:11,034 --> 00:14:13,931
And thread a pin
Through them both.
204
00:14:14,034 --> 00:14:17,517
Then they weld the pin
To the bracket.
205
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:19,896
So now the sleeve pivots.
206
00:14:22,517 --> 00:14:26,310
This, too, receives
A baked-on coat of enamel.
207
00:14:28,103 --> 00:14:31,620
Now they glue a rubber trim
Over the dome's edge
208
00:14:31,724 --> 00:14:35,103
So that booting a car
Doesn't damage the rim.
209
00:14:46,172 --> 00:14:49,482
It's time to assemble
All the parts.
210
00:14:49,586 --> 00:14:52,689
First, the mechanism that clamps
The boot's inner and outer arms
211
00:14:52,793 --> 00:14:54,310
Around the tire.
212
00:14:54,413 --> 00:14:55,586
Using a special key,
213
00:14:55,689 --> 00:14:58,068
They screw into
A stainless-steel nut
214
00:14:58,172 --> 00:15:00,551
Inside the bolt tube.
215
00:15:00,655 --> 00:15:04,482
This spring holds the inner arm
In the correct position.
216
00:15:04,586 --> 00:15:07,482
The stand goes on with a bolt.
217
00:15:07,586 --> 00:15:10,517
The stand elevates the boot
Off the ground,
218
00:15:10,620 --> 00:15:15,172
Enabling the installer
To turn the secure bolt key.
219
00:15:15,275 --> 00:15:16,689
In this cutaway,
220
00:15:16,793 --> 00:15:20,689
You can see how turning the key
Moves the secure bolt forward,
221
00:15:20,793 --> 00:15:24,862
Pushing the inner and outer arms
Together to clamp the tire.
222
00:15:28,068 --> 00:15:32,655
Next, they slide the dome sleeve
Over the body's outer arm.
223
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:39,000
They align the hole
In the sleeve
224
00:15:39,103 --> 00:15:43,137
With the hole in the arm,
Then bolt the parts together.
225
00:15:43,241 --> 00:15:45,551
The arm has several holes
226
00:15:45,655 --> 00:15:50,379
So the boot can accommodate
Wheels of different sizes.
227
00:15:50,482 --> 00:15:52,586
Every boot gets a metal plate
228
00:15:52,689 --> 00:15:55,482
Bearing the model
And serial number.
229
00:15:55,586 --> 00:15:58,827
The boot manufacturer
Records who owns the boot
230
00:15:58,931 --> 00:16:01,344
And won't issue
A new secure bolt key
231
00:16:01,448 --> 00:16:03,862
Without proper identification.
232
00:16:18,620 --> 00:16:20,896
Narrator:
From the mechanics to the cabin,
233
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,517
Aircraft are made
With the most lightweight,
234
00:16:23,620 --> 00:16:25,068
High-strength materials,
235
00:16:25,172 --> 00:16:27,655
Such as honeycomb
Structural panels.
236
00:16:27,758 --> 00:16:29,655
These make up
The support structure
237
00:16:29,758 --> 00:16:32,413
Hidden beneath the flooring
And behind the walls of,
238
00:16:32,517 --> 00:16:33,793
Among other areas,
239
00:16:33,896 --> 00:16:37,413
The lavatories, galleys,
And stow bins.
240
00:16:41,827 --> 00:16:44,724
The cells at the center
Of the structural panel
241
00:16:44,827 --> 00:16:47,965
Are hexagonal in those designed
To lie flat
242
00:16:48,068 --> 00:16:51,103
And rectangular
In curved panels.
243
00:16:51,206 --> 00:16:55,000
Producing the core begins
With giant printing cylinders.
244
00:16:55,103 --> 00:16:58,482
Etched into their surface
Is a pattern of lines.
245
00:16:58,586 --> 00:17:01,448
They rotate
In heat-activated adhesive,
246
00:17:01,551 --> 00:17:03,655
Printing the line pattern
Onto paper
247
00:17:03,758 --> 00:17:05,965
That passes between them.
248
00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:08,551
This paper is made
Of thermoplastic,
249
00:17:08,655 --> 00:17:11,103
But depending on the type
Of panel,
250
00:17:11,206 --> 00:17:14,758
It can be another kind of paper
Or even aluminum foil.
251
00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:20,172
This machine cuts the paper
Into sheets --
252
00:17:20,275 --> 00:17:22,862
Anywhere from 500
To 2,000 sheets,
253
00:17:22,965 --> 00:17:26,000
Depending on how thick
The cores will be.
254
00:17:27,931 --> 00:17:32,310
The machine then stacks the
Sheets in a specific sequence.
255
00:17:32,413 --> 00:17:35,758
Every other sheet is offset
By half a line.
256
00:17:35,862 --> 00:17:37,862
This back-and-forth pattern
257
00:17:37,965 --> 00:17:41,241
Is what forms the core's
Honeycomb cells.
258
00:17:48,482 --> 00:17:51,448
The stack now goes
Into a heated press,
259
00:17:51,551 --> 00:17:54,551
Which activates and cures
The lines of adhesive,
260
00:17:54,655 --> 00:17:56,620
Bonding the sheets.
261
00:17:56,724 --> 00:17:59,482
After an hour,
They remove the stack
262
00:17:59,586 --> 00:18:03,448
And attach aluminum-foil loops
Along its perimeter.
263
00:18:05,413 --> 00:18:07,827
Then they stand the stack
On its side
264
00:18:07,931 --> 00:18:10,137
And hook those loops
Onto the steel pins
265
00:18:10,241 --> 00:18:13,068
Of a device
Called an expansion frame.
266
00:18:15,758 --> 00:18:18,206
It slowly pulls apart
The sheets,
267
00:18:18,310 --> 00:18:20,172
Opening the honeycomb cells
268
00:18:20,275 --> 00:18:23,310
That the special
Stacking sequence formed.
269
00:18:23,413 --> 00:18:25,448
To ease the expansion process,
270
00:18:25,551 --> 00:18:28,068
They soften the paper
With water.
271
00:18:31,655 --> 00:18:33,724
This is a time-lapse shot.
272
00:18:33,827 --> 00:18:37,275
The full expansion
Takes about 15 minutes.
273
00:18:39,724 --> 00:18:41,758
Next, the block
Goes into an oven,
274
00:18:41,862 --> 00:18:43,931
Where it bakes
For about a half-hour
275
00:18:44,034 --> 00:18:46,896
At 527 degrees fahrenheit.
276
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,620
That heats sets
The thermoplastic paper,
277
00:18:49,724 --> 00:18:53,310
Locking in the honeycomb shapes.
278
00:18:53,413 --> 00:18:58,241
Now they repeatedly submerge
The block in a vat of resin,
279
00:18:58,344 --> 00:19:00,482
Baking it after each dip.
280
00:19:02,310 --> 00:19:06,241
Here, an aspirator sucks out
The excess resin.
281
00:19:08,965 --> 00:19:11,241
Then, after a final baking,
282
00:19:11,344 --> 00:19:14,275
An automated saw slices
The block horizontally
283
00:19:14,379 --> 00:19:16,517
Into several cores.
284
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,931
Then it's over
To the assembly table.
285
00:19:25,034 --> 00:19:28,862
They construct a structural
Panel like a sandwich --
286
00:19:28,965 --> 00:19:31,310
The honeycomb core
In the center.
287
00:19:31,413 --> 00:19:33,758
This one's made
Of aluminum foil.
288
00:19:33,862 --> 00:19:37,103
Then on either side of
The panel's outer sheets,
289
00:19:37,206 --> 00:19:39,758
In this case,
Made of carbon fiber.
290
00:19:41,586 --> 00:19:42,758
On the top and bottom,
291
00:19:42,862 --> 00:19:45,172
Workers position a sheet
Of release paper
292
00:19:45,275 --> 00:19:47,137
To prevent the panel
From sticking
293
00:19:47,241 --> 00:19:50,758
To the metal sheets that hold
Everything in position for now.
294
00:19:54,517 --> 00:19:57,862
Workers load the assembly
Into a press.
295
00:20:01,862 --> 00:20:06,896
The heat and pressure combined
Bond all the layers.
296
00:20:08,482 --> 00:20:09,896
About an hour later,
297
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,896
They take the sandwich
Out of the press
298
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And remove the metal sheets.
299
00:20:26,241 --> 00:20:27,862
Workers slap on labels
300
00:20:27,965 --> 00:20:31,103
Identifying the product
And manufacturer.
301
00:20:34,620 --> 00:20:37,827
Then they shear off
The panel's rough edges.
302
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,413
The factory subjects
Some samples
303
00:20:54,517 --> 00:20:57,206
To a series
Of quality-control checks.
304
00:20:57,310 --> 00:20:59,172
This load test, for example,
305
00:20:59,275 --> 00:21:01,965
Assesses how much
The panel can flex
306
00:21:02,068 --> 00:21:05,655
And how much weight it can
Withstand before snapping.
307
00:21:05,758 --> 00:21:08,965
Whatever the materials,
Thickness, or density,
308
00:21:09,068 --> 00:21:12,551
These structural panels
All deliver maximum strength
309
00:21:12,655 --> 00:21:14,172
With minimal weight.
