Basics
- Part of the Open Source Textile Construction Set
- Creates Consistent, potentially Alpaca / Chinchilla level quality Textiles, From A Diverse Pool of Potential Keratin Based Inputs
- Does so by dissolving keratin based input materials (Wool, Animal Fiber, etc ) and then bringing it out of solution by pumping it through a nozzle into a tank of a different solution, which lowers the solvent's solubility, causing a uniform strand of cellulose fiber to form
- This can then be processed into thread, string, rope, cloth etc.
- The resulting textiles are biological molecule based, but are as consistent as plastic based textiles, unlike solely natural fiber
- The biggest issue is the solvent, nearly all other apsects have been done in industry, and the Open Source Cellulose Based Semi-Synthetic Textile Producer is essentially the same machine
- Said solvent would also lowkey dissolve hair/nails/skin, so not exactly safe...
- Scihouse Inc. has this project on backburner, as well as spider silk in the same machine (the genetic engineering for yeast->spider silk is nearly done (see The Thought Emporium 's videos on the project
