Henry Ford’s Hemp Car
Friday, February 1st, 2008If you’ve read my various posts about hemp, you might remember me mentioning how strong it is. Hemp is well known for its strength and durability.
In 1941, Henry Ford built a car that contained cellulose fibers derived from hemp, sisal, and wheat straw. The plastic was said to be lighter than steel and 10 times stronger than steel. Ford demonstrated its strength by attacking it with an axe.
Turn the sound up see Ford attacking his hemp car with an axe!
