How do you make drip irrigation with a plastic bottle?

The easiest way to make a drip irrigation system from an old plastic bottle would be to punch a hole in the bottom of the bottle and connecting the bottle to a section of drip tape using a piece of spaghetti tube. Then elevate the bottle above ground level so that gravity will move the water to the drip tape and to your plants.


Why does plastic water bottles melt when you put hot water in it?

Because the melting point of the plastic used to make the bottle is lower than the temperature of the water that you have put in it. Plastic bottles are 'blow molded'. Basically air is forced inside a small piece of hot plastic and it expands like a balloon, except that this 'balloon' is inside a form or mold in the shape of the bottle. It is cooled and the bottle shape stays. If the softening point of the bottle is lower than the hot liquid poured in, then the plastic 'balloon' wants to shrink again.

Where does the plastic for water bottles come from?

There are two basic methods to making a plastic bottle. The first is something called "thermomolding," which heats the plastic sheets until they are soft and pliable. Then the sheets are formed around a shape using more heat and a pressurized mold. After releasing from the mold, the bottle cools very quickly and is ready to be filled.The other method is called "blow molding" and works on the same principle as blowing up a balloon. First, a sheet of plastic is formed into a tube. The tube is placed inside the mold and injected with hot gas. The hot gas causes the tube to expand to take on the shape of the mold. Once the bottle is formed, the mold releases the bottle, which cools quickly and is ready for use.In both methods, the screws on the neck of the bottle are formed as part of this process, because it is the most efficient way to acquire a uniform screw shape.From recycling.
