Hover Boards - Skateboards of the Future and Carbon Nano Tube Construction
Most plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene are way too heavy and wood simply won't work. This means the current manufacturing processes that are used to make skateboards will have to be changed along with the materials. This transition may upset the industry and some of the riders and there will be resistance to change.
The resistance will be similar to what we saw with skis or choosing to go down the slopes on a snowboard. Most skiers were reluctant to switch to snowboards because they call themselves purists, but over time many tried the new snowboards and enjoyed them very much and never went back to skis. Will some skateboarders be afraid to fly or worry about the injury risks associated with high-tech hoverboards?
The allure of being able to fly on a skateboard has a tremendous advantage for the manufacturers of hover boards in the future, although they will certainly be seen as disruptors of the industry and current technology.
Over the last five decades the sport of skateboarding has increased and become more exciting each year. However, skateboarding has not seen its greatest leap in technology quite yet and the hover board will change all that.
How is Carbon Nano-Tube construction done? Currently Carbon Nano tube construction is very expensive and there are several prototype methods, none of which are producing the economies of scale for all the potential applications.
Therefore its use and applications have been ultrahigh technologies such as military and space. In the future of course Carbon Nano tubes will be used for bicycles, golf clubs, skateboards and car bodies.
In fact, Carbon Nano Tubes will be used any time weight and strength are an issue and that is usually all the time meaning that Carbon Nano tubes will be used in nearly everything.
Carbon is plentiful on planet Earth and there is no shortage. It is only a matter of the manufacturing process - as costs come down in manufacturing the number of applications will increase until everything is made and Carbon Nano Tubes.
