How does sticky bombs get sticked ?

(Drcipres) #1

They are just a piece of metal… :neutral:

(cornJester) #2

Well you see Fletcher loves his bombs very, very much…

(Glot) #3

no, that doesnt help things to become sticky, i just checked… :stuck_out_tongue:

And the image you put in my head is never going to leave.

Ever.

You need to dry them for some hours. Amateur…

Why do you think all the font on this forum is white?

Why do you think Fletcher is at the top looking at us so tiredly?

It all adds up…

…Hes a painter.

Paint isn’t sticky, but you tried. Atleast you tried.

@Drcipres

The small red ring/zig-zagging sections are adhesive.

Gonna fall out of the trend here and say something that doesn’t involve Fletcher slapping his babyjuice all over his Stickies.

If I remembered what I learnt in 7th grade correctly, in order for something to stick to a surface, there must be adhesion. There are 5 main methods of adhesion and they are:

  1. Chemical Adhesion.
    [list]
  2. The method of adhesion where different substances form a compound or multiple compounds where they join. To put it simply, it’s where substances bond together on a molecular level, and thus, are held together by those bonds.
    [/list]
  3. Dispersive Adhesion.
    [list]
  4. The method of adhesion in which substances are held together by “van der Waals force”, I only learnt about this pretty briefly so I’m just gonna link the Wikipedia article: link
    [/list]
  5. Electrostatic Adhesion.
    [list]
  6. The method of adhesion in which substances are held together by an electrostatic charge.
    [/list]
  7. Diffusive Adhesion.
    [list]
  8. The method of adhesion in which substances are held together by atomic diffusion. (I really don’t know much about this - couldn’t find a Wikipedia article on it either)
    [/list]
  9. Mechanical Adhesion.
    [list]
  10. The most common method of adhesion where substances fill the gaps or voids in other substances. An example of this is where regular craft glue is used to paste two sheets of paper together by filling up the uneven surfaces on the paper on a microscopic level.
    [/list]

Dispersive Adhesion is the method of adhesion that a lizard would use to cling to surfaces, it is likely that a piece of technology could’ve been invented that generates van der Waals force that allows Sticky Bombs to latch to surfaces.

If the Sticky Bomb was made of nano-machines that could alter the structure of the Sticky Bomb on a molecular level to fill in the “gaps” of the surface the bomb is thrown onto, it could be explained by Mechanical Adhesion.

Those are the only two explanations I could come up with.

Special paint… Shake well before use. :wink:

Industrial enamel, a fancy word for “floor paint” that’s meant to survive getting walked on and run over by fork lifts.

THAT shit sticky. I spent a summer painting the floors of a factory and let me tell you that stuff could make God’s hands stick together.

Ever sense that summer job I’ve had a hard time going to Walmart and seeing all of the unpainted parking spaces without the urge get on all fours and start taping because some moron didn’t do it right the first time. … I take pride in my work.

please, tell me it’s glue and not…

This is what people get taught in 7th grade?

Not sure if too complex or a waste of time…

As for the real question, there were these sticky bombs in WWII that were orange and had bulbs on the end. The bulbs were made of glass and had a sticky material on the inside, so if they were thrown hard enough onto a tank or hard surface, the glass would shatter and the inner sticky material would stick the bomb to whatever. Perhaps a similar material is used here.

Funnily enough they were considered to finicky to be used officially, but they were manufactured anyway.

I’m pretty sure most of you guys know the old joke:
What is something that can be catched but can’t be thrown?

[spoiler]A sticky bomb.[/spoiler]

Read the first post. Understood. Lost faith.

I’m in the advanced classes so I spent most of my Y7 learning about Y11 physics, because I’m a nerd. AUS education is wierd.

pulls out bottle of superglue
Pours it onto a bomb
attempts to throw bomb
bomb sticks to hand
dies

Not true, Fletcher has 110HP :tongue: If he tries the second time then he deserves to die :slight_smile:

The better question is: If stickies are sticky, how do they not stick to Fletcher’s hands?

(gg2ez) #20

Accelerometer activated mechanical/dispersive adhesion. Only activates after a certain speed has been reached?
