Dragster Tires, Icing, Floating Docks, Spiral Pipes

Still from How It's Made S22E13

Summary

Specialized rubber compounds and reinforcing materials are layered, moulded and vulcanized into dragster tires designed to withstand extreme acceleration. Sugar, fats and flavourings are blended into smooth icing; buoyant sections and supporting frames are assembled into floating docks; and continuous steel strips are helically formed and welded into large spiral pipes.
