Scientists Unveil the World's Largest Sheet of Carbon Nanotubes

flame retardant? OK, this confuses me since its all carbon. Good thermal conductivity?

Chunks of Coal burn nicely, but Diamonds don't. I'm guessing it's to do with the structure of the Carbon, rather than the Carbon itself.

A Carbon Nanotube has a different stucture than just a carbon molecule. But Nanotubing has a lot of possiblities but the main problem is how strong it is. Since it is made of chains when one link is weak the whole chain is weak.

200x the strength of steel while 30x lighter.

Let's take a 6,000 lb. SUV and its 5-MPH bumper...

You know.

(Hint: We may need parking hooks. Yes, HOOKS embedded in each parking space. Can you guess why?)

Of course that's assuming that EVERYTHING in the vehicle is made of carbon nanotubes.

this is one of the few advances I support...every year these sheats get bigger and bigger, what...a year ago the record length nanotube string was less than a foot....now look at it. This can be used practicaly anywhere. Think Iron man without the Iron

prevention of natural disasters and flooding or whatnot is a big sheet,....yet has to stay strong with no weak leaks and quality production and reviewing.

If a yo-yo type Carbon Nanotube set of space elevators could transport their energy saved to the next yo-yo that is near the top to then a full rotation of yo-yos could be made that would enable a superconductor to tranport the energy from the lowest yo-yo (gathering most from gravity) to then transport this energy to the yo-yo near the top of the elevator (going much against gravity (though not as much as the yo-yo midway in between itself and the next yo-yo after it)

and so illistration below
