What about existing applications?[edit]

Is this article meant to list only potetial applications? What about existing applications? Nanotube reinforced composite materials (such as hybtonite) have already been used for example to build worlds largest wind turbines, as well as small wind turbines that work at lower wind speeds.In sports equipments, nanotubes have been used for example in skis, ice-hockey sticks and hunting arrows. Further, nanotubes have been used in marine paints, not just to increase durability, but to reduce friction and thus reduce fuel consumption. --PauliKL (talk) 10:16, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This explanation for springs seems to be for CNT batteries. Can someone put in the correct details for springs. "Carbon nanotube springs—Single-walled carbon nanotubes aligned in parallel can be elastically stretched for an energy density 10 times greater than that of current lithium-ion batteries, with the additional advantages of long cycling durability, temperature insensitivity, no spontaneous discharge, and arbitrary discharge rate." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.150.48.244 (talk) 13:44, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hydrogen Storage[edit]

Hydrogen storage—CNT have the potential to store between 4.2 and 65% hydrogen by weight. If they can be mass produced economically, 13.2 litres (2.9 imp gal; 3.5 US gal) of CNT could contain the same amount of energy as a 50 litres (11 imp gal; 13 US gal) gasoline tank. See Hydrogen Economy.

I believe this section is referring to the following paper: http://dns2.asia.edu.tw/~ysho/YSHO-English/1000%20WC/PDF/Science286,%201127.pdf 184.166.2.234 (talk) 04:42, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Potential applications of carbon nanotubes[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Potential applications of carbon nanotubes's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "nanotubes for electronics":

From Carbon nanotube: Collins, P.G. (2000). "Nanotubes for Electronics" (PDF). Scientific American: 67–69.
From Carbon nanotube metal matrix composites: Collins, Philip G. (2000). "Nanotubes for Electronics" (PDF). Scientific American: 67–69.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:03, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
