Five teams are to compete in the season 2016 with wheels comprising Polysil
According to the Italian press, Ferrari, McLaren-Honda, Mercedes, Williams and Red Bull Racing have chosen to replace the magnesium fiber by nanotechnology substance to dissipate the existing heat in the tires.
At least five teams of the current grid of Formula 1 should play in the season 2016 with wheels 100% composed of the new version of Polysil. Who said it was the Italian magazine 'Omnicorse', who also highlighted the information was obtained from a source connected to Nanoprom - the only company in the world capable of producing this type of substance.
Among the teams related to Nanoprom, the magazine said Ferrari, McLaren-Honda, Williams, Mercedes e Red Bull Racing (RBR). They should change the old magnesium fiber wheel for the same piece made with 'Polysil Gold', which is a compound of nanotechnology whose function is to help dissipate the heat existing in the tires - thereby increasing, your lifetime on the track.
A magazine notes that or championship 2016 It is the first in which five teams should use the Polysil the wheels of their machines. In 2015, just Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes did small tests with this substance nanotecnologia.O article published on Tuesday (12) explains that Sauber, Scuderia Toro Rosso (STR), Manor F1 Team, Haas F1 Team, Force India and Lotus-Renault to continue using the old wheel version composed of magnesium fiber. These teams showed interest in the product, but they did not have financial conditions to close contract with Nanoprom the season 2016.
Inclusive, last year, Adrian Newey said the cars of Formula 1 shall exchange compound chassis carbon fiber by Polysil - which is five times lighter and comes to be 20 times more compact and impact resistant.
Despite the dream Newey, you want to see the Red Bull cars with completely made with Polysil, the biggest challenge is the production of this substance. 1 kg of this compound nanotechnology costs the same amount of 100 kg carbon fiber, which would increase significantly the cost in the construction of cars.

The jewels of technology could not but have traces of gold. The formula 1 It is tinged with gold from next year. TheNANOPRO, Sassuolo company that manufactures rims of the tires, It announced the news that should be tested already in Barcelona during winter testing before being brought to the race. The new material, golden precisely which will be painted circles of F1 is a new product which has been called Polysil Gold and which has the merit of making still better the possibility of heat the magnesium wheel, increasing heat transfer and immediately make more efficient the tire Pirelli.

The Nanoprom launches a new product that contains a small quantity of gold. Why so…
The top teams in Formula 1 in 2016 will not have circles with the inside painted black. This does not mean that teams have given up the possibility to heat the magnesium wheel, increasing the heat exchange that allows to increase very quickly the tire inflation pressure Pirelli. The NANOPRO, Sassuolo company that has been highlighted in Circus thanks to Polysil, He has developed a new product that was called Polysil Gold.
This is an important development that will be seen at winter testing in Barcelona: the new ones thermal transmittance tests They have shown that you can get a result almost double that previously obtained thanks to the low black color gloss. The Nanoprom, indeed, He has introduced into the formula new nanomaterials: the fact that there is also a small percentage of gold It allowed to appoint the new product, Polysil Gold.
The company Gian Luca Falleti is starting a new round of nanomaterials production facility that the forefront nationally, without sacrificing the global partnerships that are in place. The Nanoprom in this way will have the ability to test new additives in the utmost secrecy and speed, two indispensable features for those who work in Formula 1.
By end of April, indeed, will open the division Nanocenter which will become a research center with the most advanced equipment in the field of nanomaterials, being able to count on the collaboration of some Italian Universities and the "Cyclops" the measurement of the center fluid dynamics C.N.R. which has in Professor Alessandro Talamelli its pivotal.

Sailing, the boat Trieste “Aztec” won the national trophy 1001VELAcup
In the waters to Rimini there was the ninth edition of “1001VELAcup“, Trophy involving students from different Italian universities. The event just ended saw part 13 boats representatives 8 Italian universities.
L’University of Trieste, represented by 'Maya Technology Association Trieste, He participated with the boat AZTECA conducted by Marco Meloni (helmsman) ed Elisa Iaiza (prodiere) and supported by shore-team formed by students Riccardo Pigazzini, Alex Gergic, Simone Martini and Andrea Bazzu.
This year the team has once again emerged as winner, reconfirming the technical superiority and proven performance in the two previous editions “1001VELAcup”, getting 5 wins 5 races sailed and for successfully defending the trophy for the second time 1001VELAcup.
Winning this championship for three consecutive years is a source of great personal satisfaction for the team that has for years invested time and resources in this project. The success of this project also brings the University of Trieste to be the reference in this prestigious sailing competition.
AZTECA, following third straight win in this competition, which compares university projects and teams, consolidated record of boat most awarded in the history of the Trophy, getting in the four years of participation in the following awards: skiff year 2012; Trophy 1001VELAcup 2013; Trofeo Paolo Padua 2013; Trophy 1001VELAcup 2014; Trophy 1001VELAcup 2015.
During the awards ceremony held at the headquarters of the Club Nautico Rimini, students from Trieste received by the President of the association 1001VelaCup Massimo Paperini the cup and the trophy that will be called upon to defend the 2016. Second and third place is the University of Padua.
The excellent results have confirmed the effectiveness of an educational project the result of months of work and several thesis students Association MTT. Giorgio Burella and former students founders Roberto Dalle Molle and Andrea Tilotti.
The victory was possible thanks to the invaluable contribution of professors Paul Rosato, Biot Marco, Happy Giorgio, Iginio Marson, Igor Zotti, all’ing. Trevisan Franco, al in. Druscovich Flavio, and also thanks to the technical supporter DeWalt, Top Glass, Euroresins, Antonini Legnami, Company Triestina della Vela, Ullman Sails, Nanoprom and especially to Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Trieste, whose contribution was instrumental in making possible the realization of "Azteca" by the Association MTT.

The Nanoprom in the pits Williams in Hungary
The Williams He did not shine in GP Hungary, a track not suited to the characteristics of FW37, a car that exalts on fast tracks thanks to excellent aerodynamic efficiency, but it goes a little’ crisis on the tracks where you need a high downforce. Yet the Grove team is working hard to improve the performance of the white car driven by Felipe Massa is Valtteri Bottas.
In the box Magyar Williams Friday was surprised the owner of the NANOPRO, Gian Luca Falleti, Sassuolo company that deals with nanotechnology. What is preparing the creator of Polysil for team Sir Frank? Nobody wanted to talk, but what could be born with a team led by Claire Williams? It is not known what will be the new nanotechnology applications that the area of Research and Development of the Emilian company is ready to launch in the Circus.
In thethird generation of Polysil, Falleti managed to cancel membership of murble, residues of hot rubber that are attached to the wheels. It was calculated that avoids an increase in weight of about 1 kg for the four wheels over a race stint, keeping surfaces clean, and avoiding that generate harmful turbulence in an area which has assumed an important aerodynamic function. What will the new development?
