Fun fact - Aston Martin's from 2005 onwards are constructed in much the same way, for which they got help from Lotus - even use the same red/orange adhesive. Also another fun fact, the first robot in the Aston factory was the adhesive application robot and he was nicknamed James Bonder. lol

I'm glad that happened because old Aston's weighed like 2 tonnes hahaha

As an engineer this is what I like to hear. Our monster FANUC at Honda Engineering was named GODZILLA. Ha! Of course it was.

Not gonna lie, this monocoque with aluminum profile extrusion and glue are quite news to me. Nice one Lotus, I love unorthodox approach.

Adhesives indeed are an excellent choice for so many applications. As the MK2 Acura NSX chassis joinability lead for Honda Engineering North America, I will note that one thing that wasn't mentioned is that in the as-welded condition the HAZ has an approximate 30% reduction in the ultimate tensile strength of each thermally fused joint if not solution heat treated/precipitation hardened afterwards. There are 806 of them as well as 347 self piercing rivets and 259 flow drill screws securing this hybrid supercar I was responsible for parameter development. What an awesome piece of machinery.

All very nice but you can't repair it. I ripped the front upper wishbone from the chassis of my Elise in an accident. They wrote the whole chassis off and re-built the car on a new chassis. Still have the car it's great but it makes you a much more cautious nervous driver knowing just how easily you could send the whole car to the scrap heap.

Same with full carbon chassis on supercars..

For insurance reasons I completely understand. From a practical standpoint I'm sure they could "remanufacture" it by removing the damaged parts only

@@alexion7160 It is not. 100 years ago cars were using wooden frames, 50 years ago cars used streel frames, then it changed a lot and new chassis materials are used, welded aluminium, carbon fibre, composites etc. So just stop posting wrong things here, you don't have a clue at all!

Hes still had first hand experience with that resin . He did a test with 2 pieces of aluminium , glue'd em together and they lifted a tractor with it , its on this youtube channel. Sure hes not a full out tech but he has the hands on experience.

Technically resin is not Glue
@stijnvandamme76 3 жыл бұрын
Technically, by definition, it is when it's used like this. glue /ɡluː/ noun an adhesive substance used for sticking objects or materials together.

Glue is not necessary be resin, but resin is definitely one of the glue.😃
