This was the first thing I thought, as well. I live in the country, we have a gravel roads. Really could use a couple of truck loads of oyster shells in my drive way right now..
I was a bit surprised by no mention of what I think would be an obvious use. These shells have a high calcium content. Would they be useful ground up to make Clamcrete? A type of concrete to use as building material. I would think it would produce a very hard material useful in wet environments. Just a thought.
Some researchers and builders have experimented with using crushed oyster and clam shells in concrete. In areas with abundant shellfish, this practice can provide a local and sustainable building material. Do you know examples of similar materials being used in construction?
I recall seeing some place on TH-cam that talked about Roman concrete, and how the Romans put oyster shells into their concrete and it's one of the reasons why it lasts so long.
Great idea for the white paint of calcium oyster shells. One would think that the plastering/painting of the Greek village houses with whitewash would use this calcium ingredient in their paints - and create a worldwide oyster shell white paint ingredient for interior latex and enamel paint housing and building construction.
Grinding up the oyster shells is an excellent calcium supplement for chickens or other poultry. Seems like they could collect these shells up and process in large batches for agriculture. Also they can be ground up and used as a calcium fertilizer for plants.
My beloved Granmama harvested oysters besides owning a grocery store on the coast of Texas. She'd have the shells washed in some kind of powder than have her sons and their friends spread them on the street where we lived and she had her grocery store. The teens would break the shells and they would get a soda and a sandwich for their help. Anyway, my beloved granmama covered the whole street with the broken shells. Our streets would be flooded up to our knees. and the shells took care of that problem.
Not only that but literally everything is chemical.. The water you drink, the air you breath, your body, everything is made of chemicals. There's difference between chemicals and hazardous compounds.
You forgot about Roman Concrete. Ground oyster shells can be used to make concrete that can heal itself when it cracks. That's how so many ancient concrete structures are still standing after thousands of years later, and we can't make concrete that lasts a hundred years. Replace the concrete lime industry, that is so bad for the environment, with turning Oyster shells into quick lime. Another problem solved.
The fabric was a surprising use. The white paint is highly practical. But I didn't see the shell being ground up into a fine dust, used with cement, to make bricks or blocks. ( As in building supplies). On a large scale, make into concrete curbs, sea-walls and even dams. Pretty much a "free" product, why not?
Most Informative & Interesting! Oysters are the source of economy,decorative materials, habitat for breeding certain marine life,etc & as the source of pearl !
I was going to make the comment about South Carolina use an oyster shells to create more oyster beds, but you mentioned about Florida doing it so I still had to mention it because it’s a different state. I wish Georgia would do it.
The shells could be repurposed by crushing them up and adding them into road paving material. New Jerseys mixes broken glass into their road paving material. What a waste
Surely it’d be cheaper and easier to crush the shells and press them into some kind of limestone bricks for building houses. The process would be cheaper and easier than making fabric, and would be more useful than just laying down roads and driveways. Just sayin’… and if anyone ends up using my idea, I’m happy to accept royalties lol 😊
Eh, not a fan of polyester in the slightest, even mixed with oyster shells. See, if you're wearing polyester and somehow catch fire, your clothes will not not burn, they will melt into your skin, causing some horrific burns.
Not just that aspect. Even just having that crappy material on makes me feel like I'm heating up. It doesn't breath like cotton does. Those wicking materials only make the sweat move to the outer of the garment and then hold the sweat and body heat there. Polyester is horrible for clothing but makes it so people can be lazy and not have to fold their laundry after the dryer finishes. It's getting harder to get cotton clothing that is durable. Without paying thru the nose for it.
In south GA the folks back in 1700s (I think) used oyster shells and some other material to make walls. Today you can find remnants of these ruins called tabby ruins.
Kang: So what are the humans doing now? Kodos: They appear to be making garments from oyster shells... Kang: The Fools, Our ray guns can penetrate their puny shellfish armor!
Better than the reverse situation with the pig toe clam in the Mississippi river. The shells were used to create the seed for pearls....the clams (meat) themselves weren't used, so they were piled up on the shore.....
I love Coffee. But before you git your coffee on, what could you possibly say except the use them as cement filler for construction purposes, ? Ok have your coffee.😅
That I need explained. 100 tons of oyster shells go in, 900 tons of sea wool go out. In between, 800 tons come into being out of nothing? How does that work, exactly?
I could never wear anything made of that Sea-wool. If they're just using recycled plastic bottles but not separating the plastics, then it's not something I could wear. I'm allergic to a specific type of plastic and just thinking about wearing that stuff makes me itch. Which is kinda sad, because Sea-wool seems like a cool material to wear.
sorry but no! this sea wool product is just a nother polymerized mineral composite that is hard to recycle or decompose. it would be better to try and burn the shells into cement.
Diatomaceous earth isn't that made from shells. Packages on bags say " HARMFUL IF BREATHED IN " it's for gardening ???? Or maybe I'm crazy . But pretty sure packages say made from shells.
Shels are a tresure...need jast be grindered heat and wash whit vinegar to make quality concrete that stays for 2000 years widaut breck.... Roman aqueduct are build whit Shels
How about pave your roads and reflect the sun or make shingles for your roof again reflect the suns heat Grind them up make a cement to build your homes recycling doesn't take a whole lot of work or money🍀
Sea Wool?! He really missed an opportunity there. He should have named his new textile material POLY-OYSTER! Ok, ok, I'm leaving, no need to shove 😂
Awesome!

If it is mixed with the right plastic it could be made into SHELLOPHANE. OK, I will follow you out….
If you grind up the shells, they work great for gravel roads and driveways.
It's also fertilizer.
And grounded shells is good for chickens too if ya mix it in their food
I use it my garden.
Maryland did it with whole shells from 17th to 20th centuries.

Yes I think you are right
That was my first thought too! Grind to sand and use for concrete!
Use the Roman formula for motor. Self crack repair mix.
We used to put broken clam shells for the driveway in new england

Interesting video…I just bought a bag of oyster shells from my local farm store, to add to my chicken feed (it helps make strong egg shells).

Interesting. Wonder if oyster cloth is another reason XP is in such a tizzy to take over Taiwan, or does he just really like oysters?
To me, this is one of the best channel for practising my Listening skill
You can cook oyster shells and it will become quicklime you can also then ground up the Styrofoam and make a lighter cement
Videos like this restore my faith in humanity

It CLEANS the oceans too

If the shells are mixed with plastic how can you say the fabric has no chemicals.

This is great stuff, Steve. Tell What's-His-Name he's great too. Thanks.
PolyOyster,Genius. You’re great…Ha,Ha,Hah… Thanks for this laugh. 😂 😂 😂 ❤ ❤ ❤
Great video again man didn’t know any of that.makes a lot of sense though.
nice reporting! I subscribed AND liked.
Imagine the water quality in these areas is phenomenal!!

I grew up in Galveston, Texas and everyone I knew had crushed oyster shell diveways. They could use it on rural roads everywhere.

Good morning! There's that slurp! More informative information, thank you! Just love oysters! See you next time!!!
oysters will 1 day help humans terraform Mars
Brilliant 👌🏾video.
12:11 - Ariel used "shoes as clothing"?? Lol I think he meant to say "shells as clothing" 😂

How do you have a high-heat product without burning a carbon fuel?

Best video yet
Tabby. It's a form of cement using shells as the filler. I saw examples in old houses in South Carolina and Georgia.
Wow sea wool from oyster shells...Humans are ingenious!!
Being filter feeders, they are useable as cleaning eco system for turbid harbors and bays.
If you go to a beach sometime, you can see how nature takes care of shells.
Why can't you compost them? Shells are calcium which is very good for soil.
Better than the reverse situation with the pig toe clam in the Mississippi river. The shells were used to create the seed for pearls....the clams (meat) themselves weren't used, so they were piled up on the shore.....
I’m sure they made concrete out of this stuff years ago .. I’m supposed they arnt doing it now with all that oyster shell .
I love Coffee. But before you git your coffee on, what could you possibly say except the use them as cement filler for construction purposes, ?
Ok have your coffee.😅
Oyster shell grit for chickens and other poultry.
Can they make a granule for roofing material, shingle or a clam shell roof tile.
The shells are made of calcium carbonate, when purified the are many uses for calcium carbonate (baking soda is calcium bicarbonate)
That I need explained. 100 tons of oyster shells go in, 900 tons of sea wool go out.
In between, 800 tons come into being out of nothing?
How does that work, exactly?
Can turn it into dust to produce clay products or any innovative ideas
*_comment offering for the algorithm gods_*
I wonder if you can use shells to make body armor.. maybe like your average ceramic plate?
This is Pure Concrete and Fertilizer a bit of energy needed. Gypsum, Benonite, or DE replacement, maybe a rare earth ore?
I could never wear anything made of that Sea-wool. If they're just using recycled plastic bottles but not separating the plastics, then it's not something I could wear. I'm allergic to a specific type of plastic and just thinking about wearing that stuff makes me itch. Which is kinda sad, because Sea-wool seems like a cool material to wear.
I have an idea, why don't we grind them into small chips and use them for roadbeds under asphalt? It's probably more durable than limerock.
The shell is not a problem , where is the material for the shell coming from ?? Yes there it will desolve over time again
I wonder how toxic those oysters are.
Grind, make some building blocks, maybe !
sorry but no! this sea wool product is just a nother polymerized mineral composite that is hard to recycle or decompose. it would be better to try and burn the shells into cement.
Sea Shell contains high P and K good for natural sustainable fertilizer
"What They Did to Millions of Dead Oysters Shocked the World"
Empty clam shells? 😳🤷🏻♂️
Ground Oster shells are used gravel in the southern US.
In the US all over.
Fun fact, I've never seen an Olympic swimming pool in person so that comparison means very little to me.
Have they combined bamboo fibers with the clam wool. Wold this mix be fire retardant
shells are dried and then crushed for road gravel for driveways.
Damn that are sound very insane to makes fabric from oyster but i guess they got the result.:D
Media madness! This is as much or more a debate between Trump and rhe moderators than Trump and Karmala!
Well if you don't harvest clam, scallops, oysters & other shellfish the oceans will become full of them
Diatomaceous earth isn't that made from shells. Packages on bags say " HARMFUL IF BREATHED IN " it's for gardening ???? Or maybe I'm crazy . But pretty sure packages say made from shells.
A very specific type of microscopic shell.
Okay okay I just have to ask who's the knucklehead that said that these oysters are larvae?
Shels are a tresure...need jast be grindered heat and wash whit vinegar
to make quality concrete that stays for 2000 years widaut breck.... Roman aqueduct are build whit Shels
I even eat Oysters with Shrimp for dinner 🦪🍤🍽️😮
The heading reads about dead clams and the story is all about oysters. It shows how some of the TH-cam stories lie to get your attention
I don't know what you are talking about when saying they can't be composted. Many organic farmers use crushed shells as plant food.
This sells can be turn into cement, after burning it become lime then use in cement factory.
Amazing
I wonder why the shells are not turned into cement?
intresting how much think you can make from shells!
maybe can make some sort of bricks out of clam shells. im right at the start of this video so lets see
amazing
lol Ariel used shells not shoes for clothing you meant.
Go boy!!!
Or they can grind it up and spread the powder for the next generation of oysters
people give oyster shell to their chickens, might be a use there.
NICE
How about pave your roads and reflect the sun or make shingles for your roof again reflect the suns heat
Grind them up make a cement to build your homes recycling doesn't take a whole lot of work or money🍀
I have one request wash it in sea water or rain water before using it to make home to remove smell of nonveg. Jay bharat.
So what is the most famous delicacy in Taiwan?
Shell is a very good business in my place
Oysters at Wang Dong? Ironic or...
THEY should make somehow pavements if this shelves are that strong
Make kind of "cement"
With all respect for TRUTH and KNOWLEDGE
"What is Happening to Millions of Dead Oysters in Taiwan Shocked the World"

Yayayayayayaay
"Asians" is a WIDE net. Why not just title it "Taiwan"?
Coffee = like
"Asians"
Title is crazy. Not all asians do this tf
nit-pick, an oyster is not a clam, see the title, and I don't like eating oysters, prefer clams. Other than that, interesting video.
Why do you have "clams" in your video title, when the whole video is about oysters?
