what, this was an experimental design, there s no question about it. it was a carbon composite. you can tell us more about what that actually means. i mean, it s the kind of stuff used in spacecraft. but is it design for deep underwater? pressure and what is the, what is the danger of that kind of material in this kind of? environment it s completely inappropriate for a vessel that sees external pressure. you know carbon fiber composites are used very successfully for internal pressure. that s a scuba tank and you can take all of we get all steel or aluminum for that type of pressure. bottle with if you get like ceramic, or similar. you can do computer modeling with a high degree of accuracy and confidence. the second you
of the carbon fiber, the labors the layers of it start to delaminate and come apart. this is one of the concerns. filmmaker and known ocean ogg grafr james cameron has some very sharp concerns about this material. listen. it s completely inappropriate for a vessel that sees external pressure. you know, carbon fiber composites are used very, very successfully for internal pressure pressure vessels like let s say a scuba tank, you can get two or three times multiple of what you can get out of steel or aluminum for that type of pressure bottle. but for something that s seeing external pressure all of the advantages of composite materials go away and all the disadvantages come into play. this was one of the concerns that was raised beforehand. now, if you look at a diagram of this vessel, you can see some of the other concerns here.
you can tell us more of what that mean, because it is the stuff that is used in spacecraft, but is it designed for the deep underwater pressure, and what is the danger of that material in this environment? it is completely inappropriate for a vessel that sees external pressure. you know, carbon fiber composites are used very successfully for internal vessel pressures for say a scuba tank, and you can get two the three times multiple what you can get out of steel or aluminum for that type of the pressure bottle, but for something that is seeing the external pressure, all of the benefits go away, and all of the disadvantages come into play. we have always understood that this is the wrong material for the submersible hulls, because with each cycle, you can have progressive damage. so it is insidious, because you could have successful dives and
