The airplane I usually fly has 450 horse power, and it's all made out of carbon fibre - you can't break it; your body will break before the airplane does.
What is harder than stone? What more soft than water? Nevertheless hard though the rock be, it is hollowed by the wave.
Will a day come when our cars have carbon-fiber tubs, 18,000-rpm V-10 engines, and ground-effects tunnels? Perhaps, about the same time we have condos on the moon.
I was crossing the English Channel with a carbon-fiber wing on my back.
We'd like to make it [bucky fiber] in a continuous fiber, roll it on a drum, and go fishing with it.
A lot of the bikes are carbon wheels now, and you don't have as good a braking surface on a carbon wheel in the wet weather as you do on the old aluminium rims.
Carbon is probably a bit harder to wrap since it's procedural.
The human foot has bones and muscles and can balance back and forth. If you step and you maybe make a little mistake, your foot can compensate. But if I step in the wrong spot, my foot isn't going to compensate because it's just one piece of carbon fiber.
