Ultra Lightweight High Pressure Hydrogen Fuel Tanks Reinforced With Carbon Nanotubes
SBC: APPLIED NANOTECH, INC. Topic: 03aOne effective way to lower the weight, thus decreasing the carbon fiber usage and lowering the cost, of a CFRP tank is to improve the mechanical properties of the CFRP composite resin matrix using nano-reinforcement. Using the resin matrix itself as a source of composite strength, along with the carbon fiber reinforcement, results in a tank that requires less carbon fiber material. This solution d ...

Spiral Welded Wind Turbine Towers
SBC: Keystone Tower Systems, Inc. Topic: 07aLarge-scale wind turbine designs are significantly constrained by transportation limits. As utility scale wind turbines have developed, they have steadily increased in size and have seen a steady decrease in cost of energy. However, further increases in on-shore turbine size beyond 3MW are prohibited by hard limits in the size of components that can be economically transported to the wind farm sit ...
