Formula 1: The Lotus paints Polysil inside the circles-Oz
The Lotus trying to get back on top of the Constructors': the team at Enstone is only eighth with just eight points in the bag and count in the second half of the season to make a turnaround to his disastrous season, heavily influenced by the power unit Renault.
In Hungary in circles of E22 It had been painted Polysil also in the inner part of the wheels Oz to improve the heat exchange with the Pirelli tires, widening the use which usually is limited the outside. In the image Nugnes are also visible sensors that detect the temperature of the rim and inside of the tires. The same solution will also be used at Spa-Francorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix.

Technique: Incoming pistons handled nanopolymers
The Nanoprom has revealed an exclusive treatment specifically designed for piston engines Formula 1.
The summer break is coming to an end and with it the insistent rumors on coating of discharges Ferrari. This weekend, indeed, We should find out if and how the engineers Horse intervene on the tailpipes of F14T. What we know for sure is that the NANOPRO, the Italian company formerly known in the circus for painting circles silicon (Polysil), with the lining of the discharge has nothing to do.
This was also the holder of Nanoprom, the eclectic Gianluca Falleti, a refute the possible involvement of his company outside of the fields that we already know (treatment circles, visors and body). However Mr.. Falleti made no secret that his company, leader in nanotechnology, It is at work even on other applications of its products, some of which have their own power units.
Obviously we could not ask him to tell us more and we managed to snatch some interesting news. What intrigued us most is on the treatment of the heart of each heat engine: the piston. The Nanoprom, indeed, He has developed a particular treatment of the pistons based nanopolymers silver, carbon, aluminum and graphene designed specifically to improve the performance of engines. Thanks to this surface treatment of the pistons, if you have one reduction of the friction coefficient by ten times compared to untreated pistons; this means greater smoothness inside the cylinders and thus improved efficiency of the mechanical parts involved, as well as a lesser wear their.
The treatment, then, also colors temperature in the various phases of use, with an important improvement of the dissipation capacity of the heat that increases the 5-7% reaching even the 30% When temperatures rise to 300 °.
And there's more: treatment to nanopolymers, as revealed to us the Nanoprom, It has a fundamental characteristic: the surfaces, When treated with this special product, allow gas to flow more quickly, with a drastic reduction of carbon residues. The treatment, also, It has also been studied for a better lubrication party, increasing the permanence of the fluids with greater uniformity on the surfaces.
The results obtained in the experimental phase of treatment are truly amazing, as the figures we have provided the Italian company (certainly a fraction compared to those collected) and given the many criticality shown by current Power Unit it is plausible that treatment dell'italianissima Nanoprom soon become a "must" for all the engines of Formula 1 and not only.

Exclusive: the Nanoprom launches Q.R.S for hoops!
After Polysil engineering Sassuolo offers another product to warm up the tires in the warm up
After providing the all'OZ Racing Polysil, the silicon film formed by nanotechnology that allows to retain the heat of the circle with the goal of immediately send heat into the tires in the first lap of each stint (qualifying and race), the NANOPRO, company of Sassuolo, He has already designed an interesting evolution of the theme: the Quantum Radial System. So far the engineers have worked only in the outer face of the rim, but inside the channel, making sure that the heat generated from the brake to dissipate (the wheel comes to temperature peaks which reach the 200 degrees) avoiding that there is disposal quickest possible thanks to the special ducts. With the current Pirelli tires circle has taken a secondary function that Gp Gp after gaining increasing importance.
GLASS LIQUID The application is simple: spraying the “liquid glass” on the rim and create a film of a few microns (touch does not feel any step between the treated and the "naked") that, in addition to ensuring a limited thermal conductivity, associates high abrasion resistance thanks to the surface hardness of this material which also offers a small aerodynamic advantage since it reduces the turbulence generated in the circle for the rotation of the wheel. Without forgetting that the traditional coating of a wheel F.1 requires at least 65 grams of paint, while it only takes Polysil 5 grams!
NANOPROM FORGE OF IDEAS Now the brilliant engineers to Sassuolo Nanoprom directed by Gianluca Falleti studied a new treatment that is aimed at increasing the temperature on the inside of the circle: exclusive image that we propose, indeed, We see the Quantum Radial System that has been sprayed with the power to have a high thermal conductivity. The Opposite of Polysil! The tests carried out have shown a marked improvement of the "warm up" in the circle and consequently of rubber. Also in this case we have been used of nanotechnology (some people think that you are also materials for aerospace and military nature!) but without having as a starting silicon.
THERE 'S ONLY POLYSIL What it is? For now, the curiosity of Q.R.S. can not be satisfied, because the new material is still top secret, but are different teams of Formula 1 who have already shown a great interest in this innovation throughout Italian. What is the temperature rise that can be drawn from this treatment? The experiments are initiated with a gain of five degrees, but tests conducted later are leading to more meaningful values, especially since it would be possible to generate more heat when the designer needs it most.
INTERESTED MANUFACTURERS In short, the feeling is that the Nanoprom not want to be a company that wants to limit to only offer revolutionary products, but also it has the ambition of becoming with its engineering consultant Manufacturers, to develop other applications that can provide performance benefits to the cars that represent the ultimate expression modern technological ...
