RibbonEnergy

Energy Stored in the Ribbon

1. As a material is stretched it stores energy. In the case of the SE this energy can be released quickly when the ribbon is damaged.
2. The question is where does the energy go? Is the CNT thread and even the ribbon vaporized or does it go elsewhere? Can we control where it goes to minimize the damage.
3. Detailed material’s science and engineering are required to address this issue.
4. A detailed computer model is likely needed
