[QUOTE="bdyal1972, post: 2071016, member: 50039"] I believe looking at a rotor on a helicopter and remembering the steel barrel surface area is just diameter and length... Carbon fiber conducts heat THE LENGTH OF THE WRAP IN ADDITION TO THE DIAMETER AND LENGTH.... THINK ABOUT IT... LOOK AT A HELICOPTER ROTOR... MAYBE THAT WILL HELP... MY WIND TURBINE POWERSHAFTS STARTED OUT AS 750LBS OF STEEL THEN 400LBS OF CF THEN 120LBS OF CF-HEAT RETAINED LOWERED LIFE SPAN TO SUB 200000 HOURS...... A CHANGE IN WEAVE PATTERN-RESIN COMPOSITION AND 150LB SHAFT EXCEEDED TEST DOCUMENATION TIME APPROCIMATELY 100 YEARS.... GOT TO THINK 3 DIMENSIONALLY!!! TAKE ALL THE TP OFF THE TP TUBE!!!! THINK THINK THINK [/QUOTE]
