Vulcanite

In 1844, Charles Goodyear and Thomas Hancock both patented the vulcanization process for rubber, Goodyear in America and Hancock in England.

Using heat and the addition of sulfur, vulcanization made rubber much stronger and less brittle, as well as removing its tendency to get sticky in high heat.

With additional heat and sulfur, vulcanized rubber turned into a hard plastic called vulcanite.

A very large and rare Victorian cross and long chain necklace made of black vulcanite-- an early thermoplastic derived from rubber. Dates to c1880.

Wowza I haven't posted in a while here have this drawing of Vulcanite with some floating things as an apology

In today's stream we put together the full process of smelting Iridium Plates.

To do this, we had to go to a new planet, Krubidium, and mine Iridite using Sulfuric Acid. This acid is produced on Krubidium from naturally occurring oil and iron deposits. We then crush the Iridite before shipping it to our home world of Nauvis.

On Nauvis we process the Crushed Iridium. Ammonia, Nitric Acid, and Hydrogen Chloride are produced on-site. We combine these with Cation Ion Exchange Beads and the Crushed Iridium to produce Iridium Powder. Leftover Dirty Water is filtered for any remaining Crushed Iridium.

The Iridium Powder is then combined with Enriched Vulcanite, shipped from the planet Ogun, to produce Iridium Blastcake, which is then refined into Iridium Ingots and Plates.

On the next stream we will be using the Iridium Plates in various experiments aboard our Orbiting Solar Platform to produce Material Science.

February 1955. My personal favorite of the various minor recurring characters of the Batman stories of the 1950s is Brane Taylor, the blonde Batman of the 31st Century, who appeared twice: first in a story in BATMAN #67 in 1951, and again in DETECTIVE COMICS #216 in early 1955.

As explained in the above page from the latter story, Brane first traveled back to Batman and Robin's era to enlist Dick Grayson's help after his own Robin (Brane's unnamed redheaded nephew) was injured fighting a space pirate called Yerxa. Robin's recollection above makes it sound a bit more glamorous than that earlier adventure actually ended up being for him — you see, Brane got both of them sent to space-prison!

If that last panel looks familiar, that's because it's a pretty direct swipe from a scene in the film DESTINATION MOON, which came out in 1950, not long before Bill Finger wrote this story. (That image appeared in promotional stills and posters, which I assume penciller Dick Sprang referenced.) In any event, Brane and Robin had to endure a lot of very miserable manual labor "in the mine pits of Vulcan" before they figured out how Yerxa was stealing the Vulcanite (a "new element" that when combined with glass "concentrates the sun's heat to an unbelievable degree!"). Afterward, Dick used Brane's time machine to bring Bruce Wayne to the 31st Century to help thwart Yerxa's attempt to reveal that Brane Taylor was Batman.

Oh, "scientific massage-treatment," huh? Is that what they're calling it now? The "one difference" between them, by the way, is that Brane is slightly taller than Bruce Wayne, something that will indeed become relevant later.

Brane's earlier appearance had implied that he was a bit more of a fop than Bruce Wayne, and during his time in the 20th Century, he keeps flirting with Vicki Vale, something that immediately makes her suspicious:

Brane also comes across as a bit of a doofus, although part of his problem is that he's largely unfamiliar with the 20th Century (which is ancient history for him), and Robin keeps nagging him not to use his various futuristic gadgets, especially around Vicki:

Sometimes, of course, he has no alternative:

By this time, Brane's "scientific massage" has worked wonders, and Bruce Wayne is back in action. However, Vicki is not satisfied:

Honestly, he's lucky Vicki didn't break out the phrenology calipers.

There's a common misconception that the monsters, weird aliens, and strange transformations that began to dominate the Batman strip around 1957 were a huge departure from what had come before, but the truth is that Batman stories had incorporated a fair number of fantastical elements since the very beginning. What changed in the late 1950s and early 1960s was that those elements became too frequent and too rote to really be fun anymore. Earlier stories like the Brane Taylor adventures are also pretty out there, but there's an imagination and energy that editor Jack Schiff (though reportedly much better to work for than tyrannical Superman group editor Mort Weisinger) didn't know how to sustain when this kind of material became the rule rather than the exception for Batman and Robin.

More Vulcanite art bc they’re always on my mind <3

Progress!!

Not a whole ton of one specific thing, but many little things have been completed!

I've automated blue belts!! Made a little factory building to spit out all the blue belts I could ever want, supplied directly off my train grid!

2. I bodged together a couple hundred speed modules! Made a quick little hand-fed setup to produce some when needed.

3. I setup a teeny tiny core mining drill setup to collect iron ingots!

It's horribly inefficient, burns off all the ores that aren't iron, doesn't have any speed modules, but it doesn't need to be fast or good because it only has one job, which will be obvious in the next point...

4. I used the vulcanite blocks in the NOrbit base and the Canary, combined with the iron ingots from core mining, to build all the production science packs I could before automating the science myself!!

It was a very hastily thrown together, hand fed, spaghetti mess of a build, but it served its one and only purpose: Unlock beacons.

You don't actually need vulcanite, or any off-world resource, to build beacons, only to research them. So with the research now completed, I can build as many as I want!! Which is important becauuusee...

5. I designed a vulcanite production line!!!

It's setup to output 30 cubes/s from only raw vulcanite, water, and oil. Stone and sand byproduct can be output at the top, or voided if needed. And the reason I went through all the hassle above, is because it's designed around prod 2 in every machine, with speed 3 in beacons around them, feeding onto blue belts!!!

I'm planning on flying to my vulc world, setting this up with local oil and imported water ice, then using the cubes to mass produce prod 3 modules before setting up my cryonite outpost.

Currently I'm in the process of loading up a rocket to fly to the outpost, will post more updates soon!!

Celluloid

Celluloid tatting shuttles owned by my great-great grandmother, Ida Mae Lohmar, along with some of the lace she made with them.

Celluloid parrot earrings

Celluloid was the first plastic to really make it into people's everyday lives. It'd made from cellulose which is derived from plant materials, and it was sometimes sold as "vegetable ivory."

Its white color made it easy to dye, and the fact that it could be made from any plant material meant that it was easier to manufacture than plastics made from rubber sap that had to be imported from tropical countries. It wasn't limited to jewelry, decoration, and specific industrial stuff the way gutta percha and vulcanite were.

Celluloid is lightweight and somewhat brittle. It is not as sturdy as bakelite and is somewhat easy to break. Because it was so common, moldable, and easy to dye, it was a pretty common material for jewelry.

An unusual Victorian era Masonic fob built in vulcanite (an early thermoplastic made from rubber), with enamel detailing, and six pyrite orbs set on the face. The reverse has the letters "ORC" for the Order of Railway Conductors, a labor union started in 1868. Dates to c1890.
