Core horizontal nozzle-pressurized spinning turns cow manure, cheaply and cleanly, into cellulose, one of the world’s most used materials

"no electrospinning with its high voltages/ toxic chemicals... uses pressure/ rotation simultaneously to spin fibers, beads, ribbons, meshes, films (each of which have different manufacturing applications) from soft matter liquid jet, using horizontal rather than vertical vessel containing surface nozzles/ injecting jet into still or flowing water, forming cellulose fibers... existing pressurized spinning machines adapted... work with dairy farmers to scale... cling film, surgical masks, paper products, textiles, foods, pharmaceuticals."
