SuMoth Challenge 2023 x Bcomp
Bcomp returned as a sponsor for the SuMoth Challenge in 2023 - once again part of the legendary Foiling Week which celebrated its 10th anniversary in Malcesine on the shore of beautiful Lake Garda.
Last year’s SuMoth Challenge already left us impressed. The student teams showed very interesting concepts and seeing their sustainable moths foiling across the water of beautiful Lake Garda was simply inspiring. This year, we were proud to be back and continue our support of the SuMoth Chal-lenge as official partner. The young generation represented by these students is the future of our soci-ety and our high-performance industries. Events like the SuMoth Challenge are incredibly important for them to explore new ideas and gain valuable experience across so many different areas while working in an interdisciplinary team. And on top of everything they are just pushing the limits of sustainability in high-performance foiling applications.

Development of natural fiber based environment freindly fiber and particulate reinforced polymer composites for commercial and quasi defence applications.
The problem is, your marketing and strategies department is terrible. It's very hard to purchase the power ribs online if you're outside of Sweden. Make it available to the regular consumer and then only it will become more popular
How much would a whole body kit cost for an every day car like a 2020 fiesta for example?
10-20k usd
@@miloscvetkovic2633 u guess or u got source?
I would have put different music to this. But great shots, really superb work.
this is so toxic as usual with epoxy resin that as any noncomposting polymer it just transforms in nanoplastic and accumulates in the body. there are several natural fibers beyond flax and shouldnt be wasted in a supremacist vehicle these techniques should be transmited in open source projects rather than this propietary fallacy.
Are they essentially just regular old flax yarn woven as a mesh metrix?
I'm really interested in the structural integrity of flax in an accident. How does it compare to the standard bumper of this GT? And how does it compare to the strength of an older metal body part, such as a front fender?
Hello, any employe from Bcomp here ? I would like to purchase small quantities of your reinforcement for testing it myself. Thankfully, bye
Hi @jean-pierrei.2047, for small quantities of our reinforcement materials please refer to our network of partners and distributors or shoot us a message via www.bcomp.ch/contact/ Cheers, the Bcomp Team
if these materials ended up cheaper than carbon fibre *looks at group C prototypes* : *wonder we can now replicate these cars now...*
How do you mix pre-preg cloth with dry power ribs and get the right resin ratio? are you adding resin infusion into the process while it is in the autoclave?
It's a resin rich pre-preg, the excess resin will eventually move up into the dry, vacuumed powe-ribs.
@@Jpifr They´re adding resin in the autoclave, you can see the resin feed tube at 2:05

Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing
I am so ready.
Do you need to use an autoclave? or could an ordinary oven work as well?
Why am I getting effin ads in my feed?

I wanna buy some so bad, but I gotta learn cad and 3d modeling first
Is the epoxy made from plants as well?
Those orbs look so freaking cool!

have you thought about introducing graphene into the epoxy matrix? the increase in mechanical performance seems evident and sensational.
😍😍😍
What your mold is made of. I'm curious? How much resin do you need to apply? How many layers of fiber do I need to put on top of each other to have enough strength for a table for example?

I'm interested in the possibility your power rib technology has to offer in terms of strength but is there a way to use it bonded to a peice of wood but still create a flat outer surface?
I noticed you used prepreg flax but dry powerRibs. How do the powerRibs get impregnated with resin? was there some sort of infusion step I missed?
Looks like at around one minute in, they describe adding a second, resin heavy later specifically for the power ribs to draw from.
@@MrChris20912 Good pickup, I missed that. I wonder whether that means that it has had resin added to it or is there a 'resin rich' type of prepreg you can buy for these sorts of applications?
@@MattTucker my guess would be the 2nd, since i didn't see them spreading resin by hand or using any infusion when they vacuumed sealed it. The ribs are such a low density anyway, it wouldn't take much.
@@MrChris20912 Interesting, it's definitely something that would need to be worked out thoroughly before trying this method!
@@MattTucker i agree, different enough from fiberglass or carbon fiber to need specific techniques and training. I think most of their sales are to industry rather than home hobbiests, thus the lack of how to videos like some of the larger composites resellers. I'm looking at how their techniques differ so i can apply similar ideas to hemp as a substrate.
I dont really agree that natural fibre composites are sustainable if the matrices are thermoset based. Or did you use a different matrix system? Either way, natural fibres will always be unpredictable in terms of mechanical performance from batch to batch which is why i dont see motorsports teams changing from CF or GF to NF. Also stiffness and strength of NF does not suffice to be a candidate for CF replacement - here CF is unbeaten. However, in impact applications there could be a certain advantage of NF vs CF.
Well flax doesnt flex too, I think it could be a competitor for the formula eco :D A ship company is already using it and they say its sometimes even better than cf, but cf is stiffer I give you that point. Also the resin out of plants gets better and better. Greetings :)
It's kind of strange to watch this as a Texan but really interesting to see what your company is doing.

hope the DIY scene. gets acces to this. soon just seen the Testing of the F1 nose.. and by god this video dates from 2017 lol :P cus this seems to be soke mighty intresting stuff
Hey, thanks for the "flowers"! The materials are readily available for anyone who wants - we distribute globally through for example Gurit. But you are right, perhaps it is time to update this product video soon too... :) Have a great day and welcome to be in touch (contact@bcomp.ch) if you have any questions!

Neat product and great video!
If mandatory by the FIA, it could reduce potential hazards from carbon debris in F1, as well as in other formulae.
very much so
I'm thinking about using flax and power ribs to make a composite sheet. I"m wondering how to go about putting some nomex honey comb in the center. Seems due to the ribbed nature of the final product, it may not be as easy to get a good bond to the honeycomb even with some peel ply. Would love to experiment with this, have you lot found any success sandwiching nomex honeycomb? Love that the parts don't need infusion mesh, but an unflat, potentially un-bondable surface makes it quite an inconvenience, do you have any solutions for this? Wish I could bundle over to Switzerland and partake in some r&d! All the best from UK
Hi, apologies for the ridiculously slow replay and thank you so much for your interest in our work! If the question is still relevant, please drop a message to contact@bcomp.ch and they can help you - for example the ESA satellite panel is made using honeycomb. Wish you a great day!
