Thank you kilgallp, most grateful. So, why do they need to upscale unless those machines are to be modified and then maybe sent off somewhere else? Sampling cant take that much, can it?

[1teepee] 28/7/2018 13:51

I think they might build nanene factories right next to where they produce goods. So that they can blow it through a tube to where it needs to go. Then they would not need hundreds of lorries

Woolybanana, the problem with transportation, is not that it breaks down, it's because of the bulk. I think I read somewhere that 1 tonne would fill 380,000 barrels.
So if you need bulk production you need the facility close to where it's required.

Tweet from David Kerr...."I'm personally looking forward to the consequences of what we're doing ?"

Just watched BBC's Click and noted that Team Sky are nearly their to retain the Tour de France Yellow jersey. Wonder if the are using any Nanene enhancements? Also a very interesting piece re a 'Graphene' lightweight bike frame embedded with sensors - wonder who supplied the Graphene? Link here (Graphene bike frame starts at 16:27)...

Funny how they appear together

I see Kevin Taylor has a company called active value.

Not very active and no value in it :-)



Previous chair of Bickley conservatives don't you know lmao

[woolybanana] 28/7/2018 12:50

Somewhere earlier it was stated, I think, that Nanene cannot be transported far as it breaks down or something. If this is true, what is the point of upscaling to three tons production unless the market is essentially local?
How local is local?

Whose authority?

[squire007] 28/7/2018 12:47

You sure NR wasn't just hungry .... lol
Always get a bit peckish when doing podcasts ...;-0

[melf] 28/7/2018 12:31

Does anyone know whether NR went to Hungary? He mentioned he was going in one of the podcasts.

[ewads] 28/7/2018 12:29

Thanks all.
Grabster- of course you’re right , but that’s where we are now with tyres? I thought that graphene would enhance the current spec and that a cruder product would be a suitable addition to make a significant difference? I’ve no idea but seems reasonably logical.

[spike_1] 28/7/2018 12:21

grabster - very well put ;0)
sg: thanks as always for keeping newbies up to speed on what makes VRS so different from all the 'graphene' snake oil salesmen.

Best wishes - Mike

".. After all it's only tyres!" (ewads, post 23717)

Only?

Kinda life-and-death crucial, tyres are.

When you and I are throwing 1-2ton vehicles around bends at speed and along motorways with precious lives onboard, on varying surfaces wet and dry, our only connection to the planet is the bottom bit of four tyres - equivalent to two pairs of wellies. No other attachment to the ground.

And if landing a jumbo jet with hundreds onboard, the quality of the tyres is pretty important.

Quite a bit of safety related technology involved, in the good ones ;-)

When the machines arrive and the 3 tonne capacity is set, what do we call the vrs centre of graphene ? China may well have graphene valleys. Manchester, graphene city. So Vrs - graphene heights ? Or, the graphene super hub ? Or graphene gorge McGorge face (ode to west country and if open to a public competition)! ;) atb. Ellis.

[ellissj] 28/7/2018 11:35

Roger, spot on. The uk govt committed to spend £120m in 2015 to get graphene out of the lab and into the shop floors. Very promising here for vrs in my opinion. Glalth. Best ellis

[forestfred] 28/7/2018 11:33

ewads
Consistency of a standardised quality product would be my guess ??

You could say that with any company perhaps they have tried cheaper quality that’s why Vrs have attracted so much interest from top quality global providers
Don’t want to land a a380 with cheaper quality or drive around in a top of the range Bmw and something breaks down in the tyres , maybe the price would also drop for bigger volumes I’m sure there is room fir that ??

[ellissj] 28/7/2018 11:31

Ewads, as another pleb, i found and posted a while back, a research paper involving an indian tyre manufacturer from 2013 (i think) where graphene oxide had been used, but the performance levels only matched those of the latest plastics enhanced tyres on offer, at that time. Hope that helps, dyor. best ellis.

[shavian] 28/7/2018 11:04

LS: Might be worth dropping JA a line. My old firm has been a consistent supporter of BG in client portfolios. I’ll give their BDM a ring.

[lovat scout] 28/7/2018 10:58

Scottish, Shavian,
I’ve banged on before on this BB about a Baillie Gifford being the ideal type of II to back VRS - I hope someone at Arden reads this BB.

[1teepee] 28/7/2018 10:52

Would be to do with the material bonding aspect I would imagine

[ewads] 28/7/2018 10:50

I being a pleb can't figure out why tyre manufacurers would need top of the range grahene rather than something of lesser quality (an cheaper). After all it's only tyres!

[club sandwich] 28/7/2018 10:10

sonson - the number of suckers is potentially infinite (ask any boiler room). as long as you can keep fooling those that don't really know what they're doing and persuading someone to keep funding you why stop?

And yes, many of them know their graphene doesn't do what's promised - they're fraudsters and liars. Sadly far too many people like that round...

[sonsonnyjim] 28/7/2018 10:04

What's baffling is the companies seem to think this BS will fly...NR talking about customer disappointment with other graphene, and ISO on the way...Surely they must know they're building a house of cards?
