Guys, I dont know if you understand the impact of this video. You have basically revealed the secret of how to make decent wings for all formula student teams. As somebody who has been developing the method for my team, this is both blessing and a curse. Through hours of research I have basically settled on a process almost just like this. And now the effort seems pointless. I have also figured out mylar is the magic ingredient, but I could not find a supplier who would be selling it by metre in the full width. And BOOM! Easycomposites now sell it, in the same spec as I have seen elsewhere, only they also let you buy per metre. Another thing are the endplates... again, basically the same process. I love you, and I hate you at the same time 😂

@7null for the materials, excluding the equipment (vacuum pump, saw etc.) you'd be looking at about £250/$300. It's hard to say exactly because if you make just one then you'll have offcuts that you don't use (like the Nomex, you won't need much of) but it would be in this range.

Perfect way to show the process, thank for that as usual. One thing that should be taken care of is making sure that the wing is not twisted/doesn't have any dihedral. In RC model airplanes, when vacuum bagging a wing, we place it in the foam cores and put some weight on the top to make sure that neither of the things mentioned happen.

Thanks and good advice. Any twist or bend would of course be much more significant on a plane than a car where the wing is just a small contribution towards the dynamics of the vehicle, but good advice for sure.

In my formula student team we've been experimenting with using perforated layers (or just peelply) with absorbent layers to draw out much of the excess epoxy in the wet layup wing surfaces. This method has delivered us excellent fibre to epoxy ratios and really light weight wings but with somewhat lacking surface finishes. Same methods have been used for our flat sandwich panels. Having to use as much as 500g/m^2 for bonding the nomex core seems like very much extra weight to me.
@easycompositestv
@easycompositestv 2 жыл бұрын
There’s a LOT of ways that you could get weight out of this component but they pretty much all add complexity and potentially risk producing a defective component. This project isn’t optimised for weight but it’s very forgiving and will almost certainly produce a strong part at an acceptably low weight.

A video about creating a mould and building a wing that way would be awesome! I am currently working on a project like that and still want to figure out how to achieve the best results.

If you want to stabilise your Nomex core even more, you can chamfer the outer perimeter by cutting it at a 45 degree angle 📐 to stop it collapsing from the sides

I'd love to see a tutorial for molded wings. Particularly, I've seen some with spars built into them during the original cure (ie. not bonded post-cure). That'd be really interesting to see.

Amazing thank you ! I would add that this type of construction not only in motorsports but also water sports ! I'm talking about kitefoil, windfoil and even small sportboats have foils now: It would be amazing to get a tutorial on how to do this kind of wings too ! How to go about with a variable profile, how to get a clean finish on the tips of the wing (I struggle with that on my homemade projects)

We built the hotwire ourselves, following some guides that are out there on the internet and even some KZbin videos. There’s lots of great information out there and the components are widely available and not too expensive.

As always, you killed it. I've learned so much from your vids. You are explaining so much things and how to think when you do a part.Thank you really much for all this free precious knowledge. You take time to explain how to avoid galvanic corrosion, but why don't you treat the spoiler from UV? It's a question i have, why making super clean mold or super shinny part when you have to treat them with clearcoat if you don't want your resin to turn yellow. thanks again for your work

@easycompositestv 2 жыл бұрын
As explained in the video the wings design intent is for a dry stored race car so even with a busy track schedule, UV degradation is not an issue. It would be a different matter for a road car used regularly when a UV stable lacquer could be used.

What is the benefit of changing the viscosity via the fumed silica? Is it so that the epoxy doesn't move as much during the vacuuming? I love that your back doing videos, I've probably watched every video you made in the last 10 years.

The main reason is to enable the resin to be thick enough to form a fillet on the honeycomb paper edges as it increases the bonding surface area and strength.

Maybe not for bolted conections, but for lighter duty connections, honeycomb cores can have areas reinforced with a thickened epoxy paste instead of inserts. If you already have fumed silica and resin for skinning, a different batch with a good bit more fumed silica to get a paste is certainly viable. For this application, metal inserts is probably the right choice, but its a neat technique to have in your toolbox.
@easycompositestv
@easycompositestv 2 жыл бұрын
Yes indeed, there are a number of situations where making a medium density resin paste (fumed silica for the thixotropic property and glass bubbles to reduce the density) can be a good option. Other lighter weight materials can also be substituted for the heavier aluminium, especially if you're not tapping the ally.
