Once again thank you to Maeson for his amazing music. Check out his soundcloud here: / tracks
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
Such a nice video... will support the site..
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.
Real Engineering What about Nano tubes and advancement in resin? graphine etc
Dennis Domnig lol sorry ay, I'm Irish.
If I up my Patreon pledge will you go take classes on how to say "th?"
+Wendover Productions if I up mine will you go away?
I mean... if the price is right...
Wendover Productions Lol its called an accent.
Oh you two :3
wtf
Material of the Future? I had a Carbon Fibre bonnet on Need for Speed: Underground in 2003!
Get with the times!
That was a vinyl you stupid poser.
Real Engineering damn harsh. i like it
o shit
it actually wasn't you could buy CF hoods and spoilers.

lmao
Thank you for the consistent quality and content
and thank you for watching

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.
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 RUclips 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
God Love New Earth Wave 🌎🔉🌊❤️😍🥰
I came when you had 75k subs and made a video about you quitting your job for this. And now your at 360k subs... Good job :)
thanks bud.

712k subs now
man got 1.1m subs now

Your link to your website in the description isn't clickable, maybe you could add the https? :)
Magma musen!
Hello I’m a very big fan (:
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.
Holyshit you are here?
that breaking news vignetee made my day XD
I'm glad it made someone laugh. I felt I was being extremely lazy with how I did it.
creativity comes through adversity
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.
It's the material of the future, a future where we're reminded to be aware of when different materials can and can't be used so that nobody dies.
Dear OceanGate
Great material, it seems. Thank you sir
I was waiting for this
me too, thing took me far too long to make.....sorry.
Real Engineering It's okay, take your time. Just never drop the quality of your videos.
Great video, man! I love the thought of Earth Creatures being a "Dual-Planet" species.
You put a Carbon nanotube atom lattace in the thumbnail but don't really talk much about the nanotubes. A bit misleading.

I love how you say “Carbon” it’s beautiful “caair Ben”
Thanks for the arrow in the thumbnail because otherwise I wouldn't have found the only other thing in the frame.
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.
It’s definitely weird watching this in the future when Starship has switched to good-old-fashioned Stainless Steel
7:35 "...managed to hold 5.3 t-*carbon fibre snaps*-onnes."
Am I the only one that thought that was just perfect?
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!
among all youtuber i respect you the most. you are awesome 👍
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.
Amazing video! I study Mechanical Engineering, you're keeping me going during exam time!
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.
As a huge F1 fan, I'm so happy you included motor racing's contribution to this fantastic material. It's crazy how much of a leap from the norm the Mp4/1 was when you compare it to today's F1 advances.
These really are some of the best and highest Quality Videos on RUclips. Keep Doing this!
The music at the beginning is so relaxing
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.
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 ?
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.
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.
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.
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 don't trust this stuff yet. I sticking with bamboo for my high-pressure fuel tanks.
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
Use gloves when handling carbon fibres if you don't want a nasty itch.
I really like the philosophy behind your channel, to show people what actually surrounds us. Keep it up! :)
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.
Commercialisation is a huge first step to making the material affordable for everyday applications.
thus we have to play golf on the moon !
wait, already done ^^'
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.
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.
Oof, just don't make submarine hulls out of this.
what's the reason
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.
Could you do a video on Direct Drive and FreeValve developed by koenigsegg?
Just discovered your channel and am very impressed. It will inspire a new generation of engineers. Well done young man.
great content as always, can you a video on 3d printing?
May do a video on 3D printing for tissue engineering. Not a lot to commercial 3D printing at the moment, bit of a novelty.
Can you do a video on transparent aluminum?
At 10:11 you said "Boeing stated that their cryo tank provided 40%...." Did you mean to say SpaceX?
9:27
If there’s a cut, how to fix it? Welding, sewing or what techniques are used there? What alternatives?
Are they advanced techniques?
Shameless self-plug from a sound designer. If there's anything I can do, please let me know! Really enjoy your videos, cheers!

Realy shity audio facts
Amateur hour, jk
It's just pure joy to watch your videos. Man, keep it up, the quality is superb and your talk is great!
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.
If you like both titanium and carbon fiber, you might really like the titan subermersible from OceanGate
@@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 🤔
Thanks for your clear understandable explanation, like to hear more
Graphene
yep...
It's not just PAN, but also SAN, styrene acrylonitrile. They are amorphous materials and can be drawn very long.
Carbon fiber has a lot of uses like stickers of a 3x3 rubik's cube.
I can, without doubt, say that this is one of the most beautiful channels on RUclips. Keep doing this, it's great!
I spoke to an autoclave engineer that has worked with SpaceX. SpaceX does have their own autoclaves, but none big enough yet for a whole fuel tank. But SpaceX is already in the process of building new larger autoclaves for their fuel tanks. Eventually, SpaceX will build have an autoclave big enough for a full sized tank.
yeah man, batteries, you should definately make a video about batteries.
I'm tired of charging my smartphone once a week!
This is gold m8. Thanks.
I really love your english. That's why i'll be back in Galway this spring ;D
I've been waiting for this for months now thanks man!!!
Yes. Maybe carbon fiber is the material of the future. But what about the fuel of the future? I'll tell you, it is...

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..?
Why would anyone dislike such a video?
This is such a good channel! Love your work!
Thumbnail = graphite structure and no carbon fibers? :D
Dabit That's not a graphite structure.
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?
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.
Have a Good day!
You too buddy
Can you do a video outlining the different types of engineering ?
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?
Thanks dude you helped me with my Carbon Fibre project
What's "care-bin foyber?"
Haha that accent tho
People will probably laugh you guys having American accents if you speak in different languages
it's called an accent. have you heard of it?
Ha ha ha! That's all I hear now feckin cracked me up. 😂😂😂
Irish accent
Quite informative and perfect presentation. Thanks for sharing.
Snarky remark of the week: ''Which is stronger, cerben foibre or carbon fibre?''
:P
Man, your videos are really really great!
Just passing thoughts but how sustainable is Carbon Fiber? Can it be recycled?
It's carbon, we're never running out of carbon.
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 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.

I adore this channel. This is really high quality engineering educational content. I see that you're trying to expand a bit, if you ever want contributions or some help from some Canadian engineers let me know.
When you say edison invented the first carbon fiber do you mean that he "invented" it by stealing it from someone else or did he actually invent it?
Brendan Smith You thinking he stole that from Tesla while pilfering AC?
🏯@@jockellis
@@vadaoliver2849 Kindly explain your comment so I can understand it. A picture doesn’t replace 1,000 words in this case.
Watching these videos fills me with wonder and hope for the future.
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...
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
Yeah, but they last longer than aluminum, I bet!
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.
Great work, I enjoyed this video.
😂 curious titanic submasible was made out of this material why try out something new thats not strong to ship people underwater
Elon Musk for president anyone?
More like global leader...

If he wasn’t South African maybe
Love your videos! I know these take lots of time and research but it shows! Thanks and keep it up!
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.

Hi, I'm new to the site. Great stuff. In this video you mention a couple of temperatures. Can I assume that you use SI units in all your videos?
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.
I love how you connect every video! You are amazing
