@vinzenzgeske8987 2 роки тому
Pssst. Don't say that. We don't like to use the bad A-word! I already worked with that stuff around 12 years ago. I did the mandatory practical semester of my material science studies in a research institute and was really psyched about working with CNTs. But that stuff is *mean*. I do agree with Real Engineering that the chemistry and material science of this stuff is amazing. But the physics of it cannot be ignored: CNTs are very small and can be inhaled and AFAIK there's the possibility that it will cause cancer (which is a statistically risk just as it is with X-rays). Also they stick together and it's hard to separate those short strands once you put them in a (small) container to ship them. So unless you can make them really long you would need to process them where you produce them. And then there's the problem of the really bad wettability of carbon whether it's molten metals or anorganic solutions, e.g for electrochemical processes. It's a huge pain in the behind. BTW: The risk of inhaling and causing damage is also something that is true of carbon fibres, especially of they break during testing or a crash. We looked into that a few years ago and there weren't that many studies about it. But now a short googling of "respirable carbon fiber" produced a meta-study with lots of citations on the toxicity of CF, CNT and asbestos on pulmonary cells: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5319145/ And it's not really a reassuring read...
@thegearknob7161 2 роки тому
And that's why I hope CNT won't ever take off. Kind of a shame, but it's for the best. Much like Carbon nano tubes, Asbestos was the wonder material of its day. Yet it got more and more widely used even as evidence mounted as to how dangerous it is. Mostly just because it was cheap. We made the mistake of using that material in everything, and hundreds of thousands paid and are still paying the ultimate price for it. It's still everywhere. That's something that must not be allowed to happen again.
@supermendi0078 Рік тому
I’ve studied just a few of the physics involved in carbon nanotubes recently at university and believe me, this video did a great job at saving you from many headaches and explaining all you really need to know about them. The only thing I would’ve added in here is the research involving the addition of impurities or holes in the nanotube structure, and the multi layer nanotubes, which show quite promising results. Some configurations even have superconducting capabilities, and it is believed we might be able to get a close-to-room temp superconductor with them, but as far as I know none of that has been confirmed yet. What’s coolest about it is how depending on the way you connect the carbon layers, you can get very different material properties.

Every prediction is according to what they know at that time. You can't predict about things that is not discovered yet. Albert Einstein said nuclear energy is not possible, at that time neutrons were not discovered yet and afterwards everything changes when quantum mechanical model comes. Same with fusion. Once you solve one problem ten more problems will arise. There is no way to predict how many problems will arise even before you solve existing ones.

I love how in depth you get with your content. Fantastic channel. I was a little confused about some of the video content though. You sometimes show long lengths of black twine rolling onto spools while talking about nanotubes, though from the information you provide I assume these shots cannot be of nanotubes because they are longer than what is currently possible. I assume you are using footage of other materials to illustrate what advanced nanotube technology might look like in the future. This makes sense, but it might be helpful for easily confused viewers like myself if you included a small annotation in the corner of the screen describing what the video content is actually depicting. There are a few shots where I'm not sure if I'm looking at actual nanotubes or not.

True, but I'm a bit more optimistic about this than flying cars since there's fewer barriers to it becoming a reality.

The difference here is that we're already producing carbon nanotubes fairly reliably, unlike nuclear fusion (Though we do have active fusion reactors, they just aren't operating at their full potential yet.). Nanotubes just cost a lot to make and we have to get that price down.

@VariantAEC 2 роки тому
So the key is to make carbon nanotube forests easier and cheaper to "grow." Just an idea... The nanotubes are non-magnetic but if the forests can be made to reliably precipitate away from the catalyst in a loop you could run a very small current through it to gently encourage the forest to grow longer so that maybe it doesn't terminate too early? Increase gas concentrations as necessary maybe so that the structure also will continue to crystalize. I feel that this method could be potentially be equally more volatile and yield far less lengthy nanotubes in the early stages of testing, but it might offer better results in the end. Dividing the substrate to allow a current to pass though it would be required of course. Worth a shot?

Today on 2nd March 2022 I got to experience this first hand when my college professor used this video (which I already had watched) to teach the whole class. It's a very satisfactory feeling when you have already have seen the video and also read the comments about this situation and experience it first hand. I don't think words can describe this feeling of growing up and also realizing that all those hours spent on useless informative videos are actually somewhat useful.

Very well-produced video and very up-to-date on developments in the field. However you need to look more into the impurities that collect on nanotubes during manufacture and how those impurities affect their ability to be used in this applications, as well as our ability to measure specific properties on the nanoscale that have drastic effects on the performance of the materials in those applications, not to mention our ability to make sure that we're making the same product again and again.
@paulferguson4930 Рік тому
CNTs can be manufactured with extremely high consistency, so that is a non-issue in my experience. Impurities are the results of the catalysts that are required to synthesize the nanotubes (cobalt, moly, aluminum). Those elements can be removed chemically with acids or thermally. Thermal purification can be highly effective at removing the impurities but care must be taken as the structure of the tubes can suffer damage if the heat is excessive.
@markbanash921 Рік тому
@@paulferguson4930 CNTs also graphitize at lower temperatures than things like PAN. The result is that the CNT fibers that are made lose their mechanical advantages (e.g., elongation to break) over conventional carbon fibers. I've seen it happen at 1600°C
