Carbon Fiber Things

[Ill Perfection]

Got a serious question. If you could have anything made out of carbon fiber that you currently have never seen, what would it be and would you pay a lot for it assuming you could afford it? It has to be something that could realistic (no houses etc.).

I ask because I was in a conference all day yesterday and was getting kind of blown away with what is possible now using some newly developed technology. I'm not look ing for orders, advertising, yada yada yada. I'm just trying to guage what people (younger demographic) would actually buy if it were made.

I know in some markets it's ridiculos what some people want and will pay for it. Had an modern home decorater offer me $15k to make a CF bathtub (the old school kind with the legs/feet on them) for $15K. Still haven't done that. I'm sure some race car drivers would buy a damn CF casket if it were available.

Anyway. Thanks. Go....

INB4 dildos, turtle shells etc.

I wanted to say bike, but apparently there already are carbon bikes.

So in that case;

CARBON HEELS!! I would love heels that dont actually get damaged when walking down dutch old 16th century streets.
Maybe carbon is the answer!

Oh snap! Even those exist:

I want to go to there.

are those freaking lamborghini shoes???thats ballin

I know right?

[lil chuck]

[hobo]

lighter shoes = better mpc(miles per calorie)

[Ill Perfection]

That's fucking sick Jelleez! I've seen those. Jesse Beer and I had actually thought of doing that before those were made. Out of real carbon though. Those are faux CF

[Ill Perfection]

Oh and not Lambo...just regular stillettos

[CaboWabo]

Carbon heels actually seems like a bad idea considering carbon and pavement are mortal enemies. Carbon coffee cup, do it.

EDIT: Nvm, been done, apparently a bad idea.

Once again...would you buy these things though if you could afford them? assuming they're prob going to be custom and expensive.

Chevron, everyone knows there are CF toilet seats out there. Re-read the OP.

Now we're getting somewhere. Carbon clothes? Ultra itchy. did make a flexible CF bikini with a clear silicone like product instead of resin. So I guess a skirt could be done? Camera body..thanks. Thought of it but didn't ever asked if people would want it. This is the feedback I'm looking for

No. Composites are the future of so many things it would blow your lid off. I know I said no houses etc. but they are actually experimenting with building high rises in Japan with CF beams instead of steel for the weight/height reason. I guess I just meant personally you aren't going to be able to afford a CF house so don't suggest it

Yeah, I see what you're saying. I however am in the business and nearly half of the market buys CF products for aesthetics. If you want a $15k bath tub you got it. When I typed that I realized I totally forgot about it and need to follow up on that. I am trying to figure out if people would spend crazy amounts of money on one off odd ball things that have no real need of the strength and lightweight characteristics of modern composites. I disregard all the stupid shit people are going to post though. Shit like the heels though...there IS a market for.

They come in handy because they are really lightweight, but ultra strong and flexible. There are not that expensive if you compare them to other performance glasses (Maui Jim, Oakely, Revo, Bolle, Arnette, Spy)

they have cases/covers out of fake carbon. don't know if there would be a market for real CF...but a I've thought of it. Would you spend $40-50 on a real CF case for say an iphone?

[Ill Perfection]

Carbon fiber nutsack.
dude, will you guys get real. Carbon fiber nutsacks are useless. I've patented CF balls though. Balls of steel are for pussies. High strength, lightweight balls are ultra high performance. At least 20 mor TPM's (thrusts per minute)

[Ill Perfection]

You're not going to get "Hey Ill, how about some carbon fiber reinforced rebar concrete.
That's cool shit huh? They are actually sing actual CF strands or roving mixed in with concrete as the resin for some highweigh structures now. The conference was in LA and one of the companies did a 45 minute presentation in one of the conference rooms on 150 ft. power poles being used in Canada right now! They wind them on a hot mandrel. Some wild shit out there. It was a pretty private/small invatational event. So cool if you're into that kind of thing.

Where were you Mr. Peluso? or Tex? I was talking to your suppliers.

most of these things you could have wrapped in [fake] CF instead the actual product, i.e. coffee mug? dildos, etc hahahaa

p.s. if hammers are made of fibreglass (shitty ones, real carpenters will use an original Estwing with a steel handle wrapped in rubber or a wooden handle) buttt you could do a CF one as said. that would work and be realistic, and even the structural integrity of it will depend on the CF. real use application? maybe... like i said about the hammers we actually use. you'd think just because its lighter it works better. not in this case.. you need juuuust the right amount

Lol, tried that once on a cover from my phone. It fucked up my reception, carbon is a semi-conductor, so my case was a farraday's cage. Had to drill a hole trough my original cover, and connect the CF to my antenna...
I've made a cover for my laptop too. But I never use it, so I'm not in a hurry to actually put it on.

I saw a carbon fibre kitchen in a boat, it was beautifull. gonna build that too, someday :P
I guess most things are tried in CF already...

[Rhino]

Are one off carbon fibre parts really that profitable? it sounds like you are pretty knowledgeable on the subject, but with the tremendous amount of man hours OR expensive technology that goes into making CF parts it doesnt seem like doing one offs would be the way to go for making big money.

What kind of resources would/do you have available to you? CNCs? prepreg/autoclaves?

Ive done quite a bit of composite work and i know what it takes to make a bitchin part (toot toot), and the amount of time it takes to make a part without CNC access just doesnt seem that profitable.

Although 20K for a bathtub sounds like the easiest job ever!

Awesome Jo Han! Sorry...when I read your name that was the first thing that came to mind. Seriously though...it's cool to hear someones response that actually knows materials. i know it is semi conductive but didn't think it would interfere. I work in aerospace from time to time. Are you trying to tell me I shouldn't line it with EMI? http://www.thomasnet.com/articles/automation-electronics/composite-emi-shielding We line the inside of some our small jets with this shit so I know exactly what you're talking about. We aren't aloud to have our phones in the shop because some have camera's in them but I forgot one day and wrapped my phone in emi and told my friend to call me.....nothing. My reception just died etc. so cool. For you guys that don't know what we're talking about it's like this see through metallic cloth that is super fragile. We lay it into the resin on the last part of the resin on the inside of the internals so nothing interferes with the jets electronics during flight. Kinda like when they tell you to turn off the cell phone when you're flying. It prob won't do anything but just in case....

anyway...thanks J R

[skimiks]

carbon fences, mostly for farm cuz i live on one and horses can break through wooden ones, (the posts and rails) so if they were carbon theyd last longer and wouldnt break. it would be nice...

also carbon bed, (frame), carbon fiber handled tools, carbon water buckets, carbon door knobs, carbon stereos, and carbon water bottles

[Johannes Romkes]

I now have an LG viewty, It has a metal back cover, wich connects at 2 places with copper on the phone. I guess a CF cover wouldn't make much of a difference on this phone ;)
Some boats use small CF tubes as antenna's, and in scale models, the CF mast is used as antenna, because the antenna in the CF hull doesn't do anything.
So you could use it as a shield, or antenna, just like a metal, to a certain point.

as a cellist, i found this interesting. very true you could get alot of power and sound out of this (good for concert hall or environments where you need it). however, i dont think i or most cellist would get one soon b/c the properties of carbon compared to wood (not even considering the different types of wood you could use for a cello) would kill many of the colors, tones, depth, and other subtleties that wood provides and that drew me to play cello in the first place. ie after listening to a few carbon cellos, they sounded almost lifeless in a way, it felt (NOT sounded) more like an electric guitar. not bashing on guitars, most of my music is a lot of guitars, but i always go to my cello music when i need something deep, rich, and warm.

however, i do have a carbon fiber cello bow, and for its price point, it is definitely a good product. i got it about 4 or 5 years ago. not better but different from wood, suites my cello well. ill post pics if u want. company: coda bow
model: conservatory

$15k cf bathtub ppl help perpetuate this. seems like too many ppl are trying to get cf right now b/c its "new and high tech". but on the flip side, if someone gave me $15k for a cf bathtub, id probably do it too.

as for glasses, cf would be useful in certain areas. i have worn glasses for a while and certain areas that don't need to flex and always get warped etc would be great. although i would want them in matte or something that doesnt look like cf. also even the small weight diff may be nice, wouldn't slide down as much.

1 question though: are carbon sheets w/ the twill/fabric pattern are actually a poor way to use cf relatively speaking? i read somewhere that things that actually the best and strongest/lightest cf looks nothing like what most ppl visualize. that twill/fabric pattern sheets are more for aesthetics and ease of use for the manufacturers than actual performance.

[Johannes Romkes]

are carbon sheets w/ the twill/fabric pattern are actually a poor way to use cf relatively speaking?yes, mostly it is. except in complex curvature, on some parts.
carbon fibre look products are roughly twice as expensive as a "normal" cf product.
uni directional fibres are better. If you want more info you can contact me, I don't want to get too close to "no boardbuilding discussions" :P

How about a CF pile of bullshit?

[penguinofsleep]

this just occurred to me.

if theres money to be made in this: expandable braided wire sleeve.

personally i would use it for headphones, although im sure there are other situations where it could be useful (although idk how beneficial).

if headphones were rewired with normal wire (not specially constructed wire where everything is already contained or more expensive injected wire, etc), its usually quite messy at the end and people will usually put a wire sleeve over the wires. however, usually sleeving is made of nylon at the moment and that doesn't provide that extra little bit of insulation but then the costs of the sleeve couldn't be too much more or else people would just buy the special wires.

A bunch of people prob think you're joking about it being easy. Building composites structures, parts etc. is a lot easier than people think. (Well...some of them. Just depends).

Forgot to mention this dude that had lunch with us too. He owns one of the biggest structural composite companies in the world. In a lot of the new cole mines etc. they are using CF for the frame work on the inside. He's way colostrophobic but pretends he's not scared I guess. Told me like 10 different crazy stories. I have some video if anyone cares or wants to see it.

[penguinofsleep]

sorry if im digging threads... but i am due for new glasses right now, tried on some carbon fiber rx glasses but they didnt look that good on me, but wow, having a cf frame really did make a difference. yeah i tried some really light metal ones too, but those are usually pretty expensive and sometimes they don't feel that strong/sturdy.

so: someone in composites, PLEASE GET ON THIS. for a quality product that is reasonably priced (under $200 in general, yeah rx frames can get really expensive, up to $600) and looks at least decent on me, id prob be one of your first customers.

as someone who wears glasses all the time (i cant wear contacts) and has been for several years, paying for a quality cf frame (something that i use and really rely on everyday) is totally worth it. a few grams of weight savings and a slightly stronger frame may not seem like that much on paper, but experience would speak otherwise.

yeah, theres lots of people all over the world making glasses right now, but as someone who has been wearing them for quite a while, you'd be surprised at how many glasses are not very well made (you can't tell right away in the shop, but it shows after time), how ridiculous some of the pricing is, and how much of a difference very little things done right make for glasses.

About as useless of an application as the rest of this stuff...

CF rocks for a rock garden.

If I could have anything made of CF it would be a life-sized statue of of Ill Perfection made by Ill Perfection.

Naked right?

[a_pla5tic_bag]

the carbon fiber laptop case sounds like it might be cool. it'd make them so much lighter. Tons of tiny electronic appliances could be CF. Prosthetic body parts maybe? they probably already have them.

[nick_sd]

carbon fiber abs... oh wait i already have those.

[waddsworth]

carbon prosthetics are already in use. They've also used CF in laptops before.

Instead of all these things wasting carbon fiber for the sake of aesthetics, why not use texalium? The colored shit looks awesome (green, blue, red, etc) - kinda like the anodized aluminum mentioned earlier.

Carbon fiber water canteen. Carbon fiber lunchbox for construction workers. Carbon fiber flashlight. Some of those are probably already made though

[zackisme]

semi carbon fiber skate wheels? somehow so it would work

[ZapBulletRider]

first ollie they'd shatter

[zackisme]

not solid cf. like urethane and cf somehow in there. idk.

[Ill Perfection]

haha...skate wheels. That'd be like going back to the ceramic wheels of the 70's

Hmmmm...possibly a good idea. I don't think people would be willing to pay a lot more for CF over fiberglass though. I've worked with my uncle in the past who's a painting contracter and all he uses are FG ladders. CF isn't lighter than FG so I don't really see what the benefit would be unless it was a REALLY tall extention ladder that would flex too much.

[Ill Perfection]

Then why did you say dildo? 90% of this thread is what I expected it to be.

[skimiks]

carbon fiber door hinges

carbon laptop. thatd be sick

It seems like there would be quite a market for laptops. The problem is I'd actually have to make the entire laptop, screen and all because it's built into the cover. The best thing I could do is make a laptop cover/case like they do for cell phones. But even then. There are hundreds of models on the market. I'm not about to make even 10 molds for the most popular models which are going to be outdated within a year or two anyway. Might be able to do it for Macs since there is a limited number of models.

[skimiks]

ya thats what i was thinking

[zackisme]

If it aint broke....

or that. i was just sayin. maybe trucks? or a deck

[Ill Perfection]

Decks are available and easy to make. I have plans to make downhill decks pretty soon. I've just been tied up with other projects/contracts lately.

[DJ-NJ]

CF decks have been out for a few years nowwww. or a 'composite' deck if you will...

[DJ-NJ]

whewww... first post in like 4 months.. i feel releived

[zeus]

i knew somb has been too nice lately

[gnasty]

CF bed frames, closet doors, lamps, cups, clocks,

[p.pointe]

A CF bong would be pretty interesting.

[Ill Perfection]

Yeah...I mentioned that above. A lot of the better normal decks have a layer of carbon sandwiched in between the wood plies.

Carbon Fiber Things 08-12-2010 12:38 PM HOW ABOUT A CARBON FIBER NEG?


this is probably the only neg i ever liked getting, i lol'd

[Ill Perfection]

^ LOL ^ I'd love to take credit for that but it wasn't me. Whoever dropped that one deserves some pos rep

[penguinofsleep]

in addition to glasses:

i wonder how cf would work out in headphones (ie maybe for the housing instead of plastic). im guessing its resonance properties could produce an interesting set or two if utilized correctly, only idk how cost effective itd be for the performance you'd get.

[waddsworth]

CF electric razor.

i agree thatd be sick...i might buy 'em

[Ill Perfection]

They're such small pieces that it wouldn't cost much to make...but once again, I'd have to make the entire set of headphones which I'm not about to do. If a headphone manufacturer wanted 1000 sets of CF housings, I'd be all over it.

[CaboWabo]

Make me a carbon fiber Logitech G27.

[Ill Perfection]

It will cost you a pretty penny but will be worth it. Your lap times will improve dramatically!

[CaboWabo]

If my times drop dramatically I may be the best person in iRacing evar! I'm not even a full second off the WR on Mid Ohio in the Stang, w00t!

[harshgnar]

pee pees

[penguinofsleep]

would carbon fiber cases be good for the wireless in laptops???

[Ill Perfection]

Good question. I don't think it would because the whole inside is exposed when the laptop is open with no shielding on it.

[Ill Perfection]

Speaking of CF things...anyone have a Fox body Mustang? Layed up this rear diffuser last week. Buyer ran into some "financial difficulties". For now it's collecting dust.

put that up on a mustang forum or something, bet it would sell pretty fast

[Ill Perfection]

Yeah, I plan on it. I just found out a few days ago that he wasn't going to buy it. Haven't got around to listing it anywhere but SOMB. LOL. I might just put it on ebay. Actually I have a whole bunch of parts that need to be listed now that I think about it.

[drewC.]

my roommate has an 86 fox body that was his first car project, he has an 03 cobra now though so I'm not sure if he's still putting money into the 86. I'll pass the word though

[Ill Perfection]

Thanks bud!
