IFW-Dresden Carbon Nanotubes

[cuplex]

Man, this video looks like it was made in the fucking 80s, its so difficult to find nice, decent, long videos about carbon nanotubes and other nanotech advances. You've got to have a bloody phd minimum to see any of this shit right now, and after you finish learning the whole world has changed and everything learned is useless. I can't find anything relating to 2010/2011 advances and ile never be able to get a job in this area, just a bleak hobby interest...

what is this carbon is good?? anyhow how do you get these to form long form tubes that can be used for something?? then what about weaving them??? how much has this tech improved since then?

[joseduardo27]

what kind of catalys did they use? ferrocene?.. is this a 2 section furnace? sublimation + pyrolisis? regards, nice video.

[okkima]

atomic sized processors soon reality :D

the stop for computer power advancement :C

oh well, at least we can increase the size :)

[curiousjoe2007]

Heard of nanotube is believe to be the strongest material ever found, but exactly how strong compare to titanium alloy? I suppose it's fire resistance is pretty weak since it's carbon after all.

curiousjoe2007:

What do you think of fire resistant property of diamond? It's the hardest material before CNT was discovered and it's made of carbon. Will it breaks down or burn in high temp? Not anywhere close to melting point of Titanium. CNT bonding between atom is stronger than diamond. It takes awful hi temp. to break down. CNT is not the same as charcoal only because it says carbon in the name.

have u seen they guys head when he pushes the button at 3.36

[BABABABA5555]

lol, I noticed that as well. I was half expecting him to shake his head back and forth in a "ah-HAH!" fashion as he walked away.

i wish everything were narrated by a british guy, it seems like i can pay attention better

[swon38]

why is the music so scary?

[dusseldorf101]

i love the guy at 04:52

I WOULD

[Chase55]

This is boring.

I'm worried about the effects carbon-nanotubes will have on our health. Will carbon-nanotubes be the asbestos of the future?

[tarohoa]

nanotubes are currently toxic to cells, just like most stuff we live in. I'm not sure but i think the problem lies in the body being unable to dispose of the nanotubes.

[anta94]

there are many of them..

they can be used to accelerate speed in informatic, etc etc.. i dunno a lot bout it yet, but thats smthin very energetic.

Now there are boron nanotubes too, which are very powerful too :)

[FUTUREFIGHTER]

what is the aplication of carbon-nanotubes?

[thebusteddude]

excellent and promising is wat i can tell..

[GoogolBass]

die dresdner haben es eben raus ^^

[qzdt]

Oh boy!....just what we needed. This will kill the bitcH for sure! Mother Earth = 0 Mankind = 1

...enough is enough.

Nice vid. though. Gives a good amount of edjucation, within the time.

[tarohoa]

For some reason people link doomsday to science, you wouldn't even know what that is without science. besides with the advancements in this technology, green energy n energy efficiency will increase like a mother fucker.

[nodoubt27]

you wouldnt even know what doomsday is without science?? i think thats the point, not that im against science i just think you argue like an idiot

[tarohoa]

alright that did sound pretty stupid, but what i meant was we wouldn't be so powerful as a species without science. and depending on how u define science, we'd be just chimps, hence not knowing "doomsday".

[kennyhez]

Great vid but how was the Multi-Wall Nanotube(MWNT)formed.
