another theory that made me thinking and makes sense in my eyes is to put different amount of fibre-layers in the flapping areas, to increase the "destructive interference" in those areas. for example: you have one layer triax above and one below the core. if you add carbon stringers you s...

i talked to the manager from hts sportsgood: he s selling the edges for 0,08 €ct per meter, he wants to get rid of, so he s not wanting more than he paid for them. pretty cool i think :) a roll has something around 320m and 80kg. shipping germany via forwarding agency would be something like 42€. eu...

what 40000V can "create" depends on amperage, one without the other is nothing (U*I=P) but for our application the voltage rating isn t that much interesting.... will it work? it depends how your wires are connected: is it just ONE wire or are wires connected in a parallel curcuit, how man...
