Title: Graphene spaceship of the futures
Post by: Marty Champions on January 04, 2012, 11:49:06 AM
“It would take an elephant, balanced on a pencil to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of cling film.”
said Columbia University Engineering Professor James Hone; continuing, "Our research establishes graphene as the strongest material ever measured, some 200 times stronger than structural steel."

A graphene sheet is only one atom thick, so it takes 3 million sheets on top of each other to be the thickness of one millimeter!
It is so strong because it is made of Carbon atoms double-bonded together in a lattice. “It would take an elephant, balanced on a pencil to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of cling film.”

If they work graphene into a honeycomb structure, that thing would be indestructible.

Johhnnnnaaaaayyyy, have you been taking the Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar for epic leans?

I would like to build some body Armour of that stuff, only some layers thick you see, so it would let light radiation through and thereby be invisible.  I will then go after the belt of UFC in all weight classes, while watching my opponents break their fists on my "unusually tough skin".

I'll take a sword with a blade one layer thick (should be hella sharp!)  :o

yes just like you said i actually put the apple cider vinegar in apple cider its so freakin good. im not getting much leaner cause im not dieting but it tastes great

That's the same way I felt about your cock the first time I laid eyes on it. 

Alas, it would take the weight of the world, balanced upon a pencil to break through a slice of the falcon's foreskin.

Ha, I have been doing the same thing!!!  Around here, all of the farm stands have fresh pressed apple cider, and I mix it with the ACV, and I get a sudden rush of energy.

Of course, the energy may be due to the Freddie Mercury-esque moustache I have grown over the holiday.

If military helmets were be made out of it with similar thickness as the regular helmets are,  would it be heavyer than the regular used helmets in the military?

Yes a dumbell question but a good one.

I'm tirred of these more and more powerfull but even more and more consuming products. Like geforce 590, requires a fucking 600w power supply at minimum. Now I don't mind the energy bill, but for fuck sake, when will people make something that is fucking powerfull but doesn't take much energy to make it or to use it? And ofcourse, with the same price tag.

Just a small sidenote, we in Americana have pretty much wiped out the foreskin to the brink of extinction...So, unless you are born in some backwoods bayou...or NC swamp...they don't exist round these parts...

Now, back to the thread...I'm curious to see If this will make carbonfiber obsolete.
