We're going to take some of that, and put it into the bread.

So now we not only have a high fiber bread, but now fiber on top of fiber.

They produce six different types of silk, which is spun together into a fiber, tougher than any fiber humans have ever made.

Textile News has a large following among those working in the textile industry.

The nearest we've come is with aramid fiber.

You've got bran, which is probably the healthiest part of the bread for us, or the fiber for us because it is just loaded with fiber, for the bran is fiber.

They're monkeys

We are developing spider silk.

Cellulose is a type of carbohydrate found in plants that our body cannot break down.

Do you mind if I pull out one of your fibers?

(Laughter)

You saw the spray going in.

But what seems so slow and graceful from the outside is really more like chaos inside, because cells control their shape with a skeleton of rigid protein fibers, and those fibers are constantly falling apart.

It looks like earthworms.

And Charlton Heston is made of a floating fiber, which I took out of the air.

And I decided to build it up.

And I looked at it beneath the microscope. And some of it was flat.

Deep inside any of these particles, there is something else.

It's all around us. We just don't see it.

The 350pound test monofilament.

Now I'm going to mark on the toughness values for nylon fiber, bombyx or domesticated silkworm silk wool, Kevlar, and carbon fibers.

Why was everyone surprised at this?

I made the first fiber in my first experiment.

Here are stress strain curves generated by tensile testing five fibers made by the same spider.

You need to eat more fiber.

There's Kevlar in that chair.

Spunglass, formfitting, waterproof, flameproof.

And now I was looking at one.

To artificially produce spider silk with the help of genetically modified microbes and weave it as synthetic fiber, is our idea.

And so in the reverse engineering process that we know about, and that we're familiar with, for the textile industry, the textile industry goes and unwinds the cocoon and then weaves glamorous things.

Dietary fibre is good for losing weight.

Spin me a thread.

No fibers, flakes, hairs?

The U.S. and Europe should give us a zero percent tariff.

Now, spray foam is an excellent insulator it fills in all the cracks but it is pretty high embodied energy, and, sprayed in cellulose or blue jeans is a much lower energy alternative to that.

(Laughter) (Applause)

But the only difference is that the fibers are arranged differently.

We're starting to see these happening all around the world.

And this is what we see.

It's called memory cloth. Notice anything?

Its preference is to travel along the nerve lines.

And so we marvel at silk worms the silk worm you see here spinning its fiber.

So I got the teddy bear and I said,

So I did.
