Carbon Fiber
The Advantages of a carbon fiber hood are that it makes the car lighter because carbon fiber is a stronger and lighter material than the material tradition car hoods are constructed from.
Carbon fiber would be lighter than the same structural rigidity in aluminum
It's just as much about the build as it is about the material. A poorly engineered carbon fibre frame can be heavier than a well engineered aluminum frame. But, if both frames are made equally well, then the Carbon fibre frame should be lighter.
Carbon fiber has a typical density of 1.750 grams per cubic centimeter, equals 1750 kilograms per cubic meter, equals 1.01156 ounces per cubic inch. Carbon fiber is lighter than Aluminum given the same parameters, with regular plastics being lighter than carbon fiber but measurably weaker.
carbon fiber is really hard if you know what i mean and its really light
they are to different materials and carbon fiber has a small checard board look and its black you paint fiberglass to what ever color you want it i think carbon fiber is more expensive and lighter shut up
Carbon fiber is a lighter and stronger material to use and would theoretically be an ideal material to use for a football helmet. The problem is that carbon fiber has poor impact resistance. The University and Oregon University worked on a project to make a complete uniform out of carbon fiber. Article below. http://www.carbonfiberguru.com/2010/01/23/oregons-carbon-fiber-footbal-helmets/
carbon fibre is used to make the car lighter and at the same time the material is strong
Carbon fiber is formed when carbon atoms are aligned with a fiber and bonded together into crystals - carbon fibers are then bundled together, forming a tow, which may then be woven into fabric.
The key benefit of carbon fiber is its impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Beyond its advantages compared to aluminum, which we mentioned above, carbon fiber is five times lighter and 10 times stronger than typical steel.
Carbon fiber is lighter than titanium - or less dense, if you prefer to use something a bit more specific. Carbon fiber, even with resin applied to hold it in a given shape (and put on a thin plastic backing, which is often done), doesn't weigh as much as the same volume of titanium.
Carbon fiber wheels are made out of carbon fibers. They are lighter which gives more horsepower to the machine, not porous which means stable, last longer which means safter and cheaper in the long run.
