Good Morning Mike,
I fully understand the properties of Carbon Fibre,
I was looking more at an industry that would require 50t of Graphene where there was little or no regulatory approvals.
@Froggy $ provided a link ages ago about an Australian Carbon Fibre sports wheel manufacture, based on their planned production, they would only require 1 tonne of graphene per year.
Wind turbines would be one market where graphene could add significant benefits, although I suspect the testing would be significant prior to the first blade being built using graphene. The same could be said for boats and cars.
There is no benefit to these industries for an increase in wear. (WG comments of one benefit for a company testing our Graphene) the only industry that I can see that would require wear is in the mining industry, where we have Carbon Fibre mining truck trays being tested. With the new carbon fibre trays, it is reported to increase capacity by 9-10 tonnes and reduce fuel costs, wear and tear etc. (due to weight savings on return trip)
I wonder if FGR has been in contact with that company and if they have shown them the test results from the pool manufacture where it might be more cost-effective to use fibreglass/graphene over carbon fibre.
Do you know of any other industries that would require an increase in wear? (using Carbon Fibre)
