Description

Stretching a rubber band will cause it to release heat, while releasing it after it has been stretched will make it absorb heat, causing its surroundings to become a little cooler. This effect is due to the higher entropy of the unstressed state, which is more entangled and therefore has more states available. In other words, the ability to convert thermal energy into work while the rubber relaxes is allowed by the higher entropy of the relaxed state. Method for Making Elastic Bands".

One tube should provide 10-20 ranger bands easily. If your used inner tube is covered in grease let it soak overnight in a solution of Pine Sol and hot water.

Can be used as emergency tinder for fire starting; each Ranger Band burns hot and bright for at least a minute. The world's largest rubber band ball as of November 19, 2008, was created by Joel Waul of Lauderhill, Florida. He is currently the World Record Holder according to the Guinness World Records. [20] The ball, which previously sat under a tarp in Waul's driveway, weighs 9,032 pounds (4,097kg), is more than 6ft 7in (2.01m) tall (which implies about a 20.68 feet (6.30m) circumference), and consists of more than 700,000 rubber bands. It set the world record on November 13, 2008, in Lauderhill, Florida. [21] The ball is now owned by Ripley's Believe It or Not!. [22] [23] Ranger Bands are super strong, super durable EPDM rubber bands, which are well-known for being useful in camping, hiking and survival activities. Ranger Bands are said to have been first adopted by Army “Rangers”, hence the name.Identical loops of inner tube are used by cavers and cave divers, and in that context are called snoopy loops by the British caving and cave diving community. When they get lost they are recognizable as a common form of litter. [12] While other rubber products may use synthetic rubber, most rubber bands are primarily manufactured using natural rubber because of its superior elasticity.

Wazoo Ranger Bands are super strong, super durable EPDM rubber bands, which are well-known for being useful in camping, hiking and survival activities. Ranger Bands are said to have been first adopted by Army “Rangers”, hence the name. These simple bands have been widely embraced by the public, especially outdoorsmen, as an all around must-have device to join the ranks such as paracord, duct tape, and cable ties as smart survival tools. Before Steve Milton, the record was held by John Bain of Wilmington, Delaware, beginning in 1998. [26] [27] [28] In 2003, his ball weighed around 3,120 pounds (1,420kg), consisting of over 850,000 rubber bands and is 1.52 metres (5ft 0in) tall (circumference: 4.6 metres (15ft)). He put the ball up for auction in 2005, [29] but he and his ball participated in Guinness World Records Day 2006. The bands were donated by two companies: Alliance Rubber and Textrip Ltd./Stretchwell Inc. [19]

Natural rubber originates from the latex of the rubber tree, which is acquired by tapping into the bark layers of the rubber tree. Rubber trees belong to the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae) and only survive in hot, humid tropical climates near the equator, so the majority of latex is produced in the Southeast Asian countries of Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. [ citation needed] Once the latex has been tapped and is exposed to the air, it begins to harden and become elastic, or rubbery. Most rubber, whether it is natural or synthetic, typically arrives at the manufacturing facility in large bales. Rubber bands are made by extruding the rubber into a long tube to provide its general shape. There are a number of different methods that can be applied at this point in the manufacturing process. Originally, and in some instances still today, the rubber tubes will then be placed on mandrels, curing the rubber with heat, and then slicing them across the width of the tube into little bands. This causes the tube to split into multiple sections, creating rubber bands. [5] This is most commonly known as an "off-line" rubber extrusion process.British Patent 13880/1845, "Specification of the Patent granted to Stephen Perry, of Woodland's-place, St. John's-wood, in the County of Middlesex, Gentleman, and Thomas Barnabas Daft, of Birmingham, Manufacturer, for Improvements in Springs to be applied to Girths, Belts, and Bandages, and Improvements in the Manufacture of Elastic Bands. — Sealed March 17, 1845", "Elastic Bands - 1845 Patent". Archived from the original on 2015-04-23 . Retrieved 2014-03-02. The exact origin is unknown and has been subject to much speculation. [15] The practice of using snoopy Loops has been claimed to have originated in Greece and spotted by Cave Diving Group members in the late 1970s. The practice was then propagated in Yorkshire Dales. [15] Another claim is that snoopy loops were named by Dave Morris, a Cave Diving Group caver who noticed how they 'snooped' around boulders. It was considered a ridiculous name at the time. [15] None of these claims are particularly plausible as the use is obvious and is likely to have originated independently in several places at earlier dates. Use them anywhere you like!

Retain items on your kit like PTTs, cables, hydration tubes, tourniquets, etc. Also, a good solution for retention of pressure switches and cables over handguards. Fling them at your buddies, start a fire, and hundreds of potential uses. Made from high quality EPDM rubber for excellent UV, heat, and saltwater resistance.

Special rubber bands of medical-grade latex can be used (worn) for orthodontic correction of teeth position together with metal braces or clear aligners to apply additional pressure on the teeth being straightened. [10] They are termed orthodontic elastics. For even longer bands, the numbering starts over for numbers above 100, again starting at width 1⁄ 16inch. ISO 24801 Recreational diving services — Requirements for the training of recreational scuba divers Like paracord and duct tape, ranger bands are one of those versatile items you’ll want to include with your survival kits and supplies. Ranger bands are named for their use by U.S. Army Rangers to tie down their gear so it didn’t move or make noise while they moved. Essentially, they are larger, stronger versions of the ordinary rubber band. A rubber band ball is a sphere of rubber bands made by using a knotted single band as a starting point and then wrapping rubber bands around the center until the desired size is achieved. The ball is usually made from 100% rubber bands, but some instructions call for using a marble, [16] a crumpled piece of paper, or a ping-pong ball [17] as a starting point.

These flimsy rubber bands may be fine around the house, but they don't belong in your emergency gear. Ranger bands come in handy for on-the-go repairs, holding together items that break, fray, or rip in a survival situation. 13. Lighter Protection

Thus, rubber bands numbered 8–19 are all 1⁄ 16inch wide, with lengths going from 7⁄ 8inch to 3 + 1⁄ 2inches. If one imagines a rubber band during manufacture, that is, a long tube of rubber on a mandrel, before it is sliced into rubber bands, the band's width is decided by how far apart the slices are cut, and its length by the circumference of the tube.

Use a ranger band to cover up sharp or frayed edges on gear to protect you and your clothing. 21. Flashlight Mount You can use ranger bands to secure a makeshift splint to a broken or sprained finger. Very large bands can be used for splints for injured arms and legs. 15.

All you need is the inner tube and a sharp pair of scissors. Here’s a video that shows how to make and use ranger bands. And here’s another one.
