Hi, 

I require a carbon fibre tube of 1.5 m length, which hold a turbine weighing approximately 25kg. The turbine will be moving and changing direction therefore the mast (carbon fibre tube) will be subject to torque also. 

For this set up, could you please tell me what would be the ideal internal and external diameter required, that will not crumble under the weight and will be able to handle the torque?
