(May 1963), "Thermodynamics of a Rubber Band", American Journal of Physics, 31 (5): 397, Bibcode: 1963AmJPh..31..397B, doi: 10.1119/1.1969535 The ad states that they are "Not Bicycle Tubes. Extruded Bands Made From EPDM Rubber". I honestly do not know exactly what this means, even after looking it up online. *LOL* What I do know from looking at the actual received product is that these are not you standard "rubber bands" that you'd get in a box store! They're a semi-shiny rubber and though it might not be, they do resemble a bicycle inner tube upon first sight. These are marketed as "Ranger Bands", for those that have no idea what that is, they're basically high quality rubber bands that stand extended use in harsh environments and can handle UV rays without the stand material breakdown that you would encounter from typical rubber bands. Ranger Bands: Tough Rubber Bands for the Outdoors These Rings Cut from Bicycle Inner Tubes Can Be Used to Retain Gear, Waterproof Containers, and Even Start Fires Before Steve Milton, the record was held by John Bain of Wilmington, Delaware, beginning in 1998.

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]

s Skog Ranger Bands are heavy duty rubber bands first developed by Army Rangers for use securing and silencing their gear. Manufactured in the United States, our high-quality Ranger Bands are made from EPDM rubber, a material also used in roofing membranes because of its resistance to UV light from the sun, rain, wind, and extreme temperatures. An EPDM Ranger Band does not stretch as much as a regular office-supply-type rubber band, but is much stronger and more durable. You could use ranger bands to attach a lure or bait to your fishing rod or even as a makeshift fishing pole in a survival situation. This zany video may give you some ideas. 27. Sling Transport and Storage These simple bands have been widely embraced by the public, especially outdoorsmen, as an all round must-have device to join the ranks such as paracord, duct tape, and cable ties as smart survival tools.

They work well even on wet wood. Ranger bands will burn intensely for around 30 seconds to three minutes, depending on their size. So, you can get a fire going by bundling together your kindling with a ranger band. (Avoid breathing in the fumes of the burning rubber.) 2.

[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. Ranger bands are useful for bundling together loose items such as tent stakes, cords, electronic chargers, batteries, or camp utensils. 11. Outer Seal Gasket

Wazoo began making ranger bands for their paracord bracelets years ago to secure tools and provide additional fire starting fuel.The result is that a rubber band behaves somewhat like an ideal monatomic gas inasmuch as (to good approximation) that elastic polymers do not store any potential energy in stretched chemical bonds. No elastic work is done to "stretch" molecules when work is done upon these bulk polymers. Instead, all work done to the rubber is "released" (not stored) and appears immediately in the polymer as thermal energy. Conversely, when the polymer does work on the surroundings (such as contracting to lift an object) it converts thermal energy to work in the process and cools in the same manner as an ideal gas, expanding while doing work. For even longer bands, the numbering starts over for numbers above 100, again starting at width 1⁄ 16inch. How to Make a Rubber Band Ball". wikiHow. Archived from the original on 2017-01-23 .
