A production line for carbon fiber takes the PAN precursor through two stages (stabilization/oxidation and carbonization) and then to winding. The site expansion, scheduled to be completed by early 2015, will make the plant in Moses Lake the world’s largest carbon fiber plant. 3,000 tons of carbon fiber.

The BMW i3 was the BMW Group’s first purely electrically powered large-scale serial model and also the company’s first vehicle with a passenger cell made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). It is shaped in Leipzig from carbon fiber scrims and assembled in a unique process developed by the BMW Group.

Wearable devices, like nearly every other piece of tech, need energy. The best-known wearable energy-harvesting tech today is, of course, solar, which pulls down electrons from sunlight or ambient light. Leveraging watch tech for…bisons? Fortunately, though, at wearables’ modest power budgets, energy is effectively everywhere.

With Wheelspeed Control, Lamborghini very finely regulates power and force at the individual wheels for even more precise turn-in, and direct as well as fast driving on particularly winding roads and with strong acceleration. This retains the technical properties of carbon, while at the same time reducing the use of carbon fiber.
