Highly doubt that Liquidmetal would ever be used as a drive shaft...way too much torque... in my opinion.


And your opinion is based on ?

So Composite Carbon Fibre drive shafts infused/weaved with titanium already exist and handle Torque forces better than the more rigid Stainless Steel.

Extreme Torque forces are more likely to 'crack' a drive shaft that is more rigid, such as stainless steal, which is why manufactures moved to more flexible drive shafts such as Carbon Fibre and Titanium composites .

So then do you believe that Carbon Fibre with Titanium is more Elastic and flexible than Carbon Fibre with Liquidmetal, therefore able to better absorb sudden torque forces? I don't think so.

Now with increasing Engine power, that force transfer to the wheels is again being tested by the limitations of the drive shaft, so there is a need to again move to more elastic composites such as Carbon Fibre and BMG, to better absorb the torque forces.

So now BMW has the opportunity to increase the torque force on drive shaft making even faster performance sports cars without cracking the drive shaft.

So if you think Crystalline weaves can absorb torque forces better than Amorphous weaves, then your opinion is flawed.

Long-Term Investment is Stock Performance.
