thought you said the next phase was launching a satellite for a second... man that would be cool! also congrats to you for being one step ahead of spacex in predicting failure, it makes them seem like a much more human company now that they receive intelligent skepticism!
They definitely knew that was going to be a source of weakness. I know a lot about the material, but I'm just another idiot on the internet. Space X definitely knew it was a source of weakness.
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.
Didn't you watch the video? People thought there is no useful engineering application for carbon fibre for decades... You are gonna say the same about graphene now? Like, seriously? You are not joking? ... Humans never learn... Still the same silly mistakes. :D
I've been taking a training class on automobile repairs. I'm amazed how hydraulics is used so extensively in vehicles. And I love the way a universal joint works. No loss of power even when the direction is changed. Could you cover this in one of your future videos? Anyway, the videos are great. The wait is long, though. A video a week would be great. Love from Nepal. Trying to follow in your footsteps.
First video I’ve watched from your channel. Honestly, I wish UA-cam was filled with educational videos like these that can benefit humanity and bring in innovation instead of modern day hype videos. Keep it up! I love this channel
Sorry to disagree, but creativity is genetic and the forced use of creativity to synthesize life problem solutions is more visible, but it isn't the source.
3:32 That's not the structure of polyacrylonitrile though. The acrylonitrile structure is correct, but when it polymerizes, it does so by losing the carbon-carbon double bond to link the carbons in a saturated chain.
Magma seeing your channel genuinely made me cry. I remember 8 years ago when I watched all of your videos. You were a huge part of my childhood, and I haven’t even thought about you in years.
Of _course_ it was sports that got laymen to care about carbon fibers. Science, engineering, even space? Meh. But someone hit a little ball really well thanks to carbon fibers? Wow, they must be important!
Timothy McLean People are also willing to pay more for sports equipment. Why would the average person care about the increased tensile strength or the other properties they don't understand. The average person can feel and see the difference with something they can hold vs a giant black tank.
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".
Timothy McLean. I played golf for the first time two years ago and noticed a dramatic difference between the cheap used clubs I picked up ($3.69!) and my friends modern composite clubs.
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.
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.
Duuude, I a student of engineering and I've been watching you since the beginning of your channel and just saw you got a HUGE boost on your views, like, millions! Congratulations man! The quality of your videos sure deserves it!

This is a great channel, because you, sir, understand what you are saying, like it, want people to understand and give lots of useful info. Unlike most other channels.
Questions: 1. Would manufacturing composites in a vacuum (like, say, space?) make better parts? 2. Do you need resins for all applications? Are there any that don't require sealing? Danke
You forgot one additional problem with curing composites, particularly big ones. Vacuum bags, vacuum bagging can be a huge pain in the butt, particularly on large, complex parts with lots of angles.
The way they layer plywood veneers would be the perfect analogy for the way they lay carbon fibers across each other. since, although much weaker, wood fibers when tensioned in a similar way to carbon fiber, act "break" the same.
The resin system is by far the most important factor in any carbon composite project, it affects most of the properties from workability all the way through to elasticity. The whole premise of the composite is that all the proterties can be weekend using the resin system and the direction and balancing of laminate I.e the 1.8.1 layup 245gsm@0°, 650gsm@90°,650gsm@+45°,650gsm@-45°,650gsm@0°,650gsm@0°,650gsm@-45°,650gsm@+45°,650gsm@90°,245gsm@0°. That is one of the strongest 10 ply layup used for tooling it also works for glass pre preg. And it is quiet likely that spaceX have used some form of low temperature resin system which you can pretty much cure under vacuum bag and 80°C. so a large oven and then do a post cure of 120°C. I suppose they could have used a snap cure resin which essentialy cure itself by exothermic reaction. The autoclave is required for layup like the 1.8.1 due to the density of the layup the pressure of about 5 bar, is to ensure entire consolidation and to litteraly crush flat the voids that can occur if the laminator has not removed all of the bridging from the angles whilst laying up.
I really like Carbon Fiber, the cross pattern kind is so pretty. I have quite a few pocket knives with Carbon fiber handles, some with Titanium as well. I've always been intrigued by Titanium, it's lighter that steel yet stronger in some aspects, if anything Carbon Fiber falls into a similar mold.
@@rihasanatrofolo2472 oh yeah love it, don’t know why they have so many bad yelp reviews as of late though, also didn’t know they made “crushed meat cans”, but a lot of people seem to talk about it 🤔
They’re carbon was low quality and scraps. The entire thing was low quality and scraps it was literally controlled by a video game controller. Don’t down on carbon fiber because of one disaster from a man who didn’t know what in the hell he was doing.
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.
I was hoping to see an explanation of whether carbon nanotubes will someday replace steel as structural components in buildings but I guess that can wait.

Very very interesting subject. I unfortunately fell asleep while watching this, but not because it is boring (it's certainly not) but because I was tired after school. Next time I should pick a different time to watch your amazing videos. They are one of the few that are worth watching more than once. Do you think that the announcement that SpaceX will make today at 1pm PST will have something to do with the failure of the tank?
Great video as always! I agree, the questions made to Elon Musk at Guadalajara were really embarassing. How did those guys get in the conference room in the first place?
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.
I use carbon fiber arrows and i can tell you they are very strong. There are some ways they are inferior to other materials such as being a bit brittle compared to lets say aluminum. However they don’t deform, and are incredibly strong. I have shot them at solid objects like rocks or metal and often times the arrows are not harmed, aluminum would just deform. Carbon fiber does tend to get fatigued after lots of use and i have noticed cracking around the knocks from time to time, which is due to what i think is the very violent action of my crossbow
I know the US Oak Ridge National Laboratory has been doing a lot of research on 3D printing with carbon fiber. I'd be interested to see your take on that.
This Video was recommended to me by my Material Science Professor, who is specialized in composite Material. I already saw this video, but this shows me, that Real Engineering makes scientifical acurate Videos!
TomNook77 Yes he was a big douch. But there is no evidence. But this is how history works. If you want edison removed, then you have to find evindence.
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.
It is interesting to note that all wonder materials kind of go through this process of us ironing out the kinks, like with steel we needed to figure out carbon levels.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's the most practical choice. Nearby, has most of what we need to sustain humans there, and if we get really silly, if we were able to put enough shit into it's atmosphere, it would stick around for long enough timescales that we wouldn't need to worry about it's depletion.
Would you rather go to Venus where the surface pressure is 92 bar? Humans are hard wired to explore and expand and unless we annihilate ourselves in some stupid display of political chest thumping we will, as a species, spread to other planets and solar systems. The only question is if you and I will see it in our lifetimes. I, for one, am hoping that one day I will be able to live on another planet, but I suppose we shall see.
James Burleson Other solar systems are looking pretty unlikely, actually, but expanding to multiple planets is pretty important. Now if only we could get Venus to donate some of it's atmosphere to Mars. Other than Mars, there are some promising moons, the idea of a floating city on venus is iffy, and then there's spacestations.
+seigeengine Mars has around 1/3 gravity compared to Earth: With a species that has developed under Earth's gravity will mean drastic changes will occur such as bone and muscle loss, this is not including unknown long term mental and physical symptoms that may occur. Also because of the gravity women may not be able to conceive children. -Extremely cold temperatures even for summer: This means steels and other materials will be a lot more brittle so only specially designed materials will only be practical which means $$$. -No magnetic field means you will be facing solar radiation on a daily bases so its either live underground or build thick walls. -33 million miles from Earth: any emergency supply requests will take months to arrives and if a colony fails after spending billion will just make humanity more closed minded to space colonization. I will be more convinced of a colony on Mars when we are able to make a self sustained colony on Antarctica which is 10x more habitable than the red planet. Also if we want to colonize space the Moon would be a better candidate. +96mtbrider see answer above.
You should make another shirt design with the title "Real Engineering" on it as well as the logo. It would seem less abstract and I would be interested, at least personally, in buying a shirt like that.
Deepest bore hole 12.2km + a mount everest 8.8km thats a 21km "runway", 21km @9g will give you apox 7000km/h =) If you have some not to sensitive stuff you could push it at 300g and reach escape velocity on those 21km =D I still propose digging a tunnel a few kilometers deep beneath mount everest and make a vertical shaft lined with magnets like a huge railgun and use it as a launch pad. Keep the acceleration at 9g's for passenger flights =P So much less fuel needed to be carried =P How fast willl you travel after a few km's with 9g acceleration =D Im not saying this will eliminate onboard fuel just take some load of..

Please do your next video on Graphene.
Frank Dantuono but isnt graphene more a scientific curiosity rather than a usefull engineering material?
it's a scientific curiosity because it could revolutionize every single field of engineering
RedTriangle53 like carbon nanotubes that has been around for +30 years and with no engineering applications?
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.

The resin system is by far the most important factor in any carbon composite project, it affects most of the properties from workability all the way through to elasticity. The whole premise of the composite is that all the proterties can be weekend using the resin system and the direction and balancing of laminate I.e the 1.8.1 layup

This Video was recommended to me by my Material Science Professor, who is specialized in composite Material. I already saw this video, but this shows me, that Real Engineering makes scientifical acurate Videos!
Please stop listing Edison. He was a patent troll and a terrible person who stole all of his "ideas."
TomNook77 Yes he was a big douch. But there is no evidence. But this is how history works. If you want edison removed, then you have to find evindence.
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.
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.
He also worked at a patent office. Good place to get ideas that.
Edison also executed animals in order to defame AC phase system...
It is interesting to note that all wonder materials kind of go through this process of us ironing out the kinks, like with steel we needed to figure out carbon levels.
😂 curious titanic submasible was made out of this material why try out something new thats not strong to ship people underwater
Hello. I love your videos, they are so knowledgeable. My question is that why don't we use lightest Al alloy as a support for c fibers..?
Elon Musk for president anyone?
More like global leader...
6Twisted he can't run you know
yes 2020
He has much more important matters to attend
If he wasn’t South African maybe
I'm glad I discovered this channel.
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.
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.
there is gain... it's called colonization of the universe.
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.
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.
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.
Keep hitting us with the cutting edge materials when ever possible.
Especially with carbon fiber, Or any Carbon Products.
Civilization on Mars is such a fucking meme, could we stop pushing it and look at something more practical.
It's the most practical choice. Nearby, has most of what we need to sustain humans there, and if we get really silly, if we were able to put enough shit into it's atmosphere, it would stick around for long enough timescales that we wouldn't need to worry about it's depletion.
vide0viwer you're scared of progress
Would you rather go to Venus where the surface pressure is 92 bar? Humans are hard wired to explore and expand and unless we annihilate ourselves in some stupid display of political chest thumping we will, as a species, spread to other planets and solar systems. The only question is if you and I will see it in our lifetimes. I, for one, am hoping that one day I will be able to live on another planet, but I suppose we shall see.
James Burleson Other solar systems are looking pretty unlikely, actually, but expanding to multiple planets is pretty important. Now if only we could get Venus to donate some of it's atmosphere to Mars.
Other than Mars, there are some promising moons, the idea of a floating city on venus is iffy, and then there's spacestations.
+seigeengine Mars has around 1/3 gravity compared to Earth: With a species that has developed under Earth's gravity will mean drastic changes will occur such as bone and muscle loss, this is not including unknown long term mental and physical symptoms that may occur. Also because of the gravity women may not be able to conceive children.
-Extremely cold temperatures even for summer: This means steels and other materials will be a lot more brittle so only specially designed materials will only be practical which means $$$.
-No magnetic field means you will be facing solar radiation on a daily bases so its either live underground or build thick walls.
-33 million miles from Earth: any emergency supply requests will take months to arrives and if a colony fails after spending billion will just make humanity more closed minded to space colonization.
I will be more convinced of a colony on Mars when we are able to make a self sustained colony on Antarctica which is 10x more habitable than the red planet. Also if we want to colonize space the Moon would be a better candidate.
+96mtbrider see answer above.
Quite informative and perfect presentation. Thanks for sharing.
You should make another shirt design with the title "Real Engineering" on it as well as the logo. It would seem less abstract and I would be interested, at least personally, in buying a shirt like that.
Deepest bore hole 12.2km + a mount everest 8.8km thats a 21km "runway", 21km @9g will give you apox 7000km/h =)
If you have some not to sensitive stuff you could push it at 300g and reach escape velocity on those 21km =D
I still propose digging a tunnel a few kilometers deep beneath mount everest and make a vertical shaft lined with magnets like a huge railgun and use it as a launch pad. Keep the acceleration at 9g's for passenger flights =P So much less fuel needed to be carried =P How fast willl you travel after a few km's with 9g acceleration =D Im not saying this will eliminate onboard fuel just take some load of..
I did not expect a link on a lecture slide to bring me here
I watched that 2017 rocket landing live, yay
I've been waiting for this for months now thanks man!!!
This was a really good video! Now it's exactly mid 2020. Might be good to make a revised version of this video and now comparing it to the qualities and limitations of the currently used stainless steel.
Dude, your channel is aewsome.Thank you!
I love how you connect every video! You are amazing
