Bigg Boss 14: Abhinav Shukla shares some knowledge about ‘Invention Of Tyres’

In an Extra Masala clip, there is another day of Abhinav Shukla spreading some brains around the Bigg Boss14’s house.

We can see in the clip Pavitra Punia and Abhinav Shukla chilling on the sofa, Abhinav starts with telling about the accidental discovery of process of Vulcanization of Rubber which led to discovery of Tyre.

He starts with how this man ( which is Charles Goodyear jsyk ) was heating the rubber taken from rubber trees and he accidentally dropped sulphur in it and it hardened.

Then they both go off topic with ” what is sulphur called in hindi? ” Abhinav describing it as a some yellow stuff they put around in hot springs and Pavitra exclaiming that only yellow stuff she knows is Topaz.
Well back to the topic Abhinav concluded that later scientists studied the process and named it Vulcanization and that rock solid rubber was later used in making tyre!

Pavitra made a fool of herself saying that she thought that when the sulphur dropped, it made a hole in the rubber and boom there’s tyre. And we can agree when she exclaims ‘glad I didn’t took Science’!

Jsyk Sulphur in hindi is called ‘gandhak’.
