Just stumbled upon this Channel and was surprised about the subscriber count. The quality of video is that of other larger channels like Seeker and Motherboard etc. Great job
@@cmmartti you're wrong. *Dead* wrong. Wood ignites spontaneously at temperatures that exceed 500 degrees Fahrenheit. It then begins to carbonize and with any kind of load, it will splinter. Even at 212 degrees it starts to soften and lose its tensile strength. This would lead to wooden high rise buildings collapsing in the event of an out of control fire. There are types of concrete that can withstand very high temperatures up to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit before losing their structural integrity.

Same here. Well said.
Incredible content, wish you got more attention
Thank you, young Elijah Wood!
Great video that shows some of the potential uses of sustainably harvested timber, a great way to store carbon when done correctly.
Amazing although I'm still suprised this hasn't been a thing here.
great video, just a small correction, older trees actually grow faster than younger trees because they have more leaf/needle surface area.
❤️❤️❤️
2:09 That's a plantation, not a forest. Just saying.
has anyone read into the research on safety of it? like recent research on clt?
One red oak tree could build a 20 story skyscraper
Which could burn to the ground if it caught on fire.
@@Kazilikaya It wouldn't. CLT properly treated is about as vulnerable as clay bricks to fire and termites.
@@enriqueemfloressanchez1728 yeah... the CLT panel itself usually protected by insulation cladding to prevent fire or termites.
lmao osb and glulam go brrr
Wouldn't those buildings be a fire hazard?
Yes

I dare you to make this
pitch to your local
fire department.
