Dear Friend Id like to share this important technical results on carbon fins devlopment, we are speacking of the first hi-tech fins in the world, these fins are already a legend in italy check it out...Michele Giurgola are going with EDGE at over - 80 meters constant weight in his daily practice session whit very low weariness in his legs...he said incredible fins.... were researcher on polymer and polymer composites materials...CETMACOMPOSITES is a spin-off company of European renowned research centre called consorzio CETMA. We are five researcher with Ph.d. in composite material and composite material process… So the pre-preg used for EDGE manufacturing is a TohoTenax carbon fiber and an our exclusive special toughness improved epoxy resin. You can check in the video how, in the impact test, the damage rest very localized after 10 joule impact.....But the most important thing is how the stiffness of the blade is distributed over the blade, this aimed by FEM (finite element modeling). Materials properties were determinated with over 1500 samples mechanical tested, about 6 month test period….The stiffness distribution on blade is studied in order to reproduce a particular deformation of the blade, during swim, which assure an optimal swim efficiency. We can exactly know were the flex point is positioned when a determinate force is applied to the blade....so we exactly know the hysteresis of the fin.... check it out https://youtube/watch?v=YFmD6jVHFDA
