    Since TH-cam is about to delete annotations, figured I'd post them here for everyone to see. Enjoy the video!

    I didn't understand any of this, screw it, i'm using concrete.

    carbon fiber vinyl is the best, instantly adding 100+ horsepower unlike any of those

    I am now enlightened and ready to argue with everyone about racing materials..

    hello man, I liked you video. What do you think is the next material generation for high performance bicycles after fiber carbon?

    great video Kyle! Have a question for you, to make a skid plate for my dirt bike would be better S glass or there is anything else better?

    Wow, you really understood what we non-engineers needed to understand. Thanks for the interpretation of these materials. I had tried to understand it myself in the past and it was frustrating to not be able to get a clear interpretation. I will rewatch this several times until I can regurgitate it for applications in the future.

    In sailplane construction, we use glass fibre extensively to handle bearing stress, where it outperforms aramid and carbon fiber. We use aramid in the crash protection zone of the canopy, where glass and carbon dust would be harmful in a crash. We use carbon fibre only where lightness and stiffness is important. Also, the stiffness you give for the raw materials is much greater than the fibre-matrix combination, with carbon fibre in an epoxy matrix having only a quarter of the stiffness of steel.

    In the video you said one of the advantages of fiberglass is its thinner than carbon fiber. So, do you have a graphic to show that to have a same certain value of strength with this much layer of fiberglass equals to this much layer of carbon fiber? I know there are so many parameters such as usage of resign and type of a reign, but can you say anything approximately? Very nice video btw, thanks. :)

    I was a material science student, this is just like music to my ears, haha.

    and that's why car manufacturers use carbon fiber for stiffness and fiberglass for strength for their race cars.

    This agrees with my experience building high performance power and sailboats. I worked with S glass, carbon, and Kevlar from about 1978 to 1998, it appears that things haven't changed much.

    Go into detail on how composite structures work from a stress point of view!

    I'd love a resin comparison video. This video was really informative.

    That was a great lecture. I have not had one like that since I was in my engineering materials class at the University of Arizona 30 some years ago. You covered it masterfully.

    You deserve no only my subscription, but all my admiration as this is one of the best videos I've ever seen on youtube, from a technical perspective.

    Thumbs up. Much better than a bunch of professors lectures.

    Hey man great vid, I was looking for something like this. One variable you never mentioned is temperature resistance. I would love to see you going through matrices, different resins or other materials to bond the fibers!

    Nice, it's been a while since I last read anything technical regarding composite materials. This video helped clearing up a lot of things. Thumbs up!
