How It's Made Carbon Fiber Car Parts

[BADtimmay]

can't help but think, this could be done easier... don't know how... just a gut feeling...

[ANoobsGuide]

Why paint carbon fiber? it looks fucking beautiful the way it is.

[MyTrollinAccount69]

typical nigger bullshit 0:45

[baujahr90er]

pt cruiser, silverado ss and the smart car are just insanely beatiful, its the peak of automotive design, they will go as the most beautiful cars in the hall of fame, they are not plasticky or low budged designed such as the mclaren f1 or the aventador or in my opinion the most ugly car ever made the one 77...

... this was my biggest lie EVER, honestly...

[N01MD1RTYD4N]

Ive got carbon fiber on my cleats, its pretty sick

[iceboks]

uses carbon fiber for weight reduction... rocks 28" poverty rims...

[TheBioAbyssal]

Steely Strength....LOL

[crbassassin]

i thought that they have to heat it???

[fahimsultan93]

this narrator doesnt know what he's talking about. carbon fibre is like 4 times stronger than steel and 3 times lighter

[francozoid]

@fahimsultan93 Please prove it with formula..

[fahimsultan93]

@francozoid what do you mean

[qwertyboy1234567899]

no ssr can ever be called a car. it looks like it was designed with a crayon by a two rear old

[45crcasey]

zr1 body is carbon fiber

[J90JAM]

0:20 AHHH KILL IT WITH FIRE!

[mockingbelles]

why is thier a baskitball court in the car



[AZURA888]

Really carbon fiber is resistant to tension, but not so much to impact, remember this is graphite. Kevlar, UHMWPE, polycarbonate are better to impact due to its great capacity of deformation, that's why you see body armors made of titanium, fiber glass, GLARE, aluminium, cobalt-Steel, cermets and kevlar but not of carbon fiber. There is not magic material, well carbon nanotubes but that is for the future, maybe 2030.

[wilsojac1]

looks better with out paint

[MVasdf]

@hvf26 painting on carbon fiber is also a crime

[OhNoNotMyPenis]

that car looks like it just came off pimp my ride

[MrJRG97]

Nearly as strong as steel?

[leloodallasmultipass]

@MrJRG97 ...and nearly as light.

[MrJRG97]

@leloodallasmultipass Isn't carbon fiber a lot stronger than steel?

[leloodallasmultipass]

@MrJRG97 yeah, I was continuing what I thought was a joke on your part.

[MrJRG97]

@leloodallasmultipass Okay.

[leloodallasmultipass]

@MrJRG97 yeah.

[helperout]

Listen to the Piano , its out of tune , or its a begiiner playing it !

[TheRealShadoninja]

@helperout it's not out of tune, it's just playing notes together causing dissonance.

[tbok75]

The SSR gets such a bad rep. It was a specialty vehicle. But that one... yes ugly. LOL and real carbon fiber is a total waste on it.

[jaredfontaine2002]

I thought they had to heat it up?

[TeroYyy]

@jaredfontaine2002 Depends on the resin you use. Some will cure in roomtemp, others need to be heated up.

[n3rdbear]

@jaredfontaine2002 only for the strongest kind of carbon fiber molds

[GangsterDawg101]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ugly car ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[hvf26]

using carbon fibre on such an ugly car is a crime

[DubGenre]

@hvf26 That was a car?

[treysdwayne]

@DubGenre i think it is a chevy ssr, a 2-seater convertible truck

[robbenter]

@hvf26 you could always have it gelcoated or painted so you dont see the woven yarn.

[rioross]

@hvf26 well, it's a bit old, but this SSR used to be a great looking car. It was popular at first, but just like the PT Cruiser and the Beetle, lost its appeal.

However, the SSR came standard with an LS Series V8. So don't think just because it's ugly that it's slow.

[iamhereforever]

@hvf26 carbon fibre "IS" ugly

[hvf26]

@iamhereforever notsureifsrs. carbon fibre is buiriful

[epistte]

Carbon is lighter but the cost as also much higher. Carbon wont beak as easily as fiberglass but it will defiantly break if you hit something hard enough. This is illustrated every time an F1 or Champ Car crashes because their wings and bodywork are 100% carbon fiber. Adding about 10% Kevlar helps but it also adds cost.

 Do you have a sponsor with deep pockets?

[LostTwillville]

Is carbon fiber stronger or weaker than fiberglass?

[epistte]

@LostTwillville Carbon fiber is far stronger than steel but it is slightly impact sensative unless it is interwoven with kevlar.

[LostTwillville]

@epistte I guess that answers my question because I know If one were to run a fiberglass car into a tree they would be screwed. I bet they would save lives using carbon fiber as apposed to fiberglass. I am building a sport go kart as a project and I am looking into using carbon fiber or fiberglass. I am considering the carbon fiber now due to it's strength but the cost may be a big factor. Thanks for your information.

[Serostern]

@LostTwillville Steel is far easier to work with.

[guarita]

@LostTwillville Running a carbon fiber car into a tree would probably be as disastrous as running a fiberglass one because what makes a car safer on a collision is how much energy it can dissipate. Metallic materials can dissipate much more energy through plastic deformation than carbon fiper or fiberglass so, metal is still safer if no specific changes are made to the parts design when using carbon fiber...

[IGTAUTO]

@guarita Carbon parts with proper design parameters will break away and absorb the impact where steel or other metals will transfer the energy to the driver. There is a reason why race cars are built with a carbon monocoque to protect the driver, while the rest of the parts break away upon impact.

[gerry626]

dont touch it bare handed! im suprised!

[periesicsd]

you maye never touch it with your skin, because sweat, grease, etc. makes it bad! very good product, but it dies in contact with oil, even very very little, like on your hands!

[danxl5]

wtf is this stupid music. Holy shit.

[JuggalocodeChile1988]

Very interesting info. Thanks.
