The History Channel has a new episode of Modern Marvels tonight. It's about ropes and chains and how they are made. They talked about Amsteel Blue and even showed failure testing of it. It's on again at 1:00AM EST.

Ditto on that.
I saw it. The most impressive thing was, when they tested it to failure it just dropped. No rebound. None.

got it TVO'd though I caught the end tonight. Missed the amsteel seg.
Ahhhh, Hot Tang on a sore throught.
The Vodka didn't hurt any either, I guess. I don't drink just use it for pain relief/sleep during colds-insomnia. That makes a little last a loooong time.
For those of you who missed this I found and viewed online here:

Its only in the first 10 min or so. I got half way through the chains section of the vid, Ill finish that later...
Its Pretty Cool!
That is one of the reasons it is great for synthetic winch lines for trucks. If a steel cable fails if could **** near cut you in half if you are standing in the wrong spot, the synthetic (amsteel) lines will just drop.Originally Posted by oldgringo
though I noticed something that looked like a cover that could be dropped into place to contain things- probably synthetic is not the only material they test.
