hey guys! I’m new to this forum and am also new to the wonderful world of composites. now the main reasons I’m here.
I want to build a speargun. This goal is not a small one.
Spearguns are built out of carbon all the time so its not a question of Can you but its a question of how far can i push it.
how strong can one make a structure that has been skeletonized. I also realize that its all a matter of more carbon but is there any special process I need to use to make it happen. I’ve attached pictures of what I have in mind.
Could a structure like those i have attached support a load of 300lbs lengthwise?
The length would be somewhere around 30 inches total.
Any calculations I need to do in order to figure this out?
any other tips and tricks you could throw my way or maybe the title of a post you think would be good for me to read. please send my way!!!
thanks guys and girls!
