    BA BA BA BREAAKING NEWS....YEAH. First phase is complete. Website is live at www.realengineering.net. Next phase will be launching a site where we will be working on companion articles for each video we release. This site will not be monetised with ads, instead it will hopefully be supported by people like you who enjoy it by supporting us over at www.patreon.com/realengineering

    • @RedTriangle53
      @RedTriangle53 Před 7 lety +51

      Like carbon nanotubes on steroids that are mass producible.
      Carbon nanotubes have been difficult to work with because you need to grow them under high pressure as crystals. Graphene can be made with the laser drive on your computer. It is also a fact that nanotubes have an incredible amount of engineering applications. Lack of industrialization does not mean lack of potential.
      Carbon nanotubes are also not useful in electronics. Graphene is immensely so, for both commercial and scientific applications, which makes it much more affordable even if it wasn't easily mass producible.
      So actually no, not like carbon nanotubes.

    Fantastic video! When you mentioned the many questions you still have, and the lack of good questions in the SpaceX Q&A, I imagined how great it would be if you were to be an integrated part of the Q&A. Not necessarily exclusively, but it would be amazing if you somehow got teamed up with SpaceX to ask questions in the Q&As that most of us never even think about. It would help educate a a lot of people, and make us understand why certain things are as important as they are.

      21BDP21 I'm not convinced that the average layman would notice the difference. Professional athletes, sure, but laymen are going to be limited by their own skill and similar factors more than their equipment. I'd expect "We can send more stuff to the moon" or "We can spend less money on jet fuel" to be about as grokkable as "We can hit small balls slightly farther".

  • @Unassuming_Gay
    @Unassuming_Gay Před 7 lety +7

    I have a question: is the heat resistance of the fibers themselves enough to withstand molten aluminium ? Could it be possible to create composite metals ?
    It would be interesting to see how metals crystallizes in the presence of aligned fibers. Maybe that can help reduce micro tears ?

    • @dragonthefirelord
      @dragonthefirelord Před 7 lety +2

      There have been tests done with creating carbon fiber-metal matrices. In many cases, the composite has superior properties when compared to when the materials are on their own, but the properties are still dependent on the geometry of the carbon fibers. A better solution, at least from what has been observed, might be to utilize CNTs in metal composites. You could disperse multiple strands of CNTs in different directions without significantly increasing the bulk of the metal composite. Carbon fiber might be better suited being used as a reinforcement for structural concrete in place of conventional reinforcements, as tests have shown that it does improve the properties of concrete.

    • @Unassuming_Gay
      @Unassuming_Gay Před 7 lety +3

      Those results with concrete where why I was wondering if it could be used to reinforce other materials. And it makes sense that an already strong structure could be better suited to reinforce metals, but I was just wondering about the possibilities of carbon fiber, because, ya know, they are easier to manufacture.
      If I had the capacity to do it, I would be making all kind of combinations with the fibers. Other that also makes sense in my mind are ceramic materials, but again, they would be better materials with cnts, but, what about affordability ? Carbon fiber reinforced ceramic conductor caps, for example.

    • @dragonthefirelord
      @dragonthefirelord Před 7 lety +4

      The problem with trying to utilize carbon fiber in ceramics is that ceramics are typically used in applications where the operating temperature exceeds that at which carbon fiber remains functional. Contrary to what intuition would say, in silicate-based ceramics, carbon fiber actually increases embrittlement in the composite do to it reacting with some of the other materials present in the ceramic and creating porosity within the matrix. In order for carbon fiber to be utilized in a ceramic matrix, it would have to be in lower temperature applications than what would normally be done for the ceramic.
      One such application that is promising is the use in ceramic saw blades. The increased strength in the blade would mean that the blade degrading due to stress would be mitigated and the fibers could prevent micro fractures from propagating throughout the structure. It is something that wold be extremely useful if the above mentioned issues can be adequately solved.

    For a while I helped an engineer at my previous job who was trying to develop bushings and bearings from carbon fiber. We would use carbon fiber sleeves and pour this slurry through the sleeve as it ran through these rollers. Then we would wrap it onto a cylinder and it would go through a series of heat treatment and put in a vacuum chamber submerged in a polymer. I remember delamination was a constant issue along the face of the cylinders and we tried to resolve this by compression in a mould, different hand wrapping methods and even cross layering it as talked about at 6:25 I left the company and still wonder if they resolved the issue. Very itchy stuff, would recommend a respirator gloves and long sleeves.

      Very difficult to be recycled and recycled carbon fiber lose most of it strength. What make this even worse is carbon fiber require 3 times more energy to make than steel.

    We use the woven fabric for the bulk of our solar car's shell. Specifically the first woven fabric of the two that were held. We use several layers over the mold to make a stiff solid structure, intertwining hex comb layers for stiffness. The car in my image is the older body style with the current one resembling the traditional solar car style. Specifically I'm from SIUe, but as more schools are able to learn and get funding, the American Solar Car Challenge grows.

      He could've easily invented stuff himself. The fact that he "stole" other people's work doesn't mean he didn't come up with stuff.

    • @RealEngineering
      @RealEngineering  Před 7 lety +63

      He didn't steal anything. He made superior products. The light bulbs he created lasted longer and were brighter. He figured out how to achieve a full vacuum, where others failed to. He developed carbon fibre filaments that lasted longer than other filaments. The better products get the sale. That's the nature of business. There is a reason his business, General Electric, still stands today.

    You had me until the very end. Why are people so obsessed with humans living on Mars? It's an incredibly shitty little planet. It would be easier to live on the bottom of the oceans, or in Antarctica, than it would be to live on Mars.

    • @seigeengine
      @seigeengine Před 7 lety +2

      Because it's a cool idea, incredibly useful, and there's nothing to gain about trying to get more people living either on the bottom of the ocean, or on antarctica.

    • @orestasvanagas9572
      @orestasvanagas9572 Před 7 lety +11

      there is gain... it's called colonization of the universe.

    • @PistonAvatarGuy
      @PistonAvatarGuy Před 7 lety +1

      We should send humans to Mars, sure, but the resources required to start a colony there would be absolutely staggering, and no country on Earth has such an excess of funds and resources that they could start a colony on Mars without seriously damaging their economy. Combating climate change should be the top priority of every human being on Earth right now, this is just another distraction from actual problems that human beings currently face.
      It's very likely that we'll never be able to leave our solar system.

    • @cmiller1515
      @cmiller1515 Před 7 lety +7

      idontcare80 I would not underestimate the human race's rate of progress. Quite frankly, I believe that colonizing mars will speed up the process of escaping our solar system. Sure, it may be impossible to travel outside our solar system now, let alone colonize mars, but in the long run we will gather much information when going to mars, that will ensure our success in leaving our solar system.

    • @PistonAvatarGuy
      @PistonAvatarGuy Před 7 lety

      Taking no action against climate change is not progress, and progress isn't what's required to get to Mars, money is what's required to get to Mars.
      How would we ever leave our solar system? Explain it.
