Hi guys
I'm Rob, currently in the UK. I'm here to talk carbon fibre and its limitations, and get guidance on a very ambitious project that I'm looking at doing!
So - a couple of generalised questions first off:
What are the pressure limitations of carbon fibre? Any particular sort of method to moulding that will give a better pressure rating?
What kind of extreme angles can I get out of carbon fibre?
Cheers!
Rob

Well, I've got a carbon fibre bottle that holds 4500psi  I have no idea as to the wall thinkness of the tank though.
As far as material testing - first I need to make it. I've got an idea of having a mould, but I wouldn't know how to join the two halves together, and seeing as it is a pretty complicated, air-holding shape - the joins need to be spectaculararly good. Any ideas anyone?
