replica RICHARD MILLE MCLAREN watch
The newest report details the effort between Richard Mille, McLaren and the National Graphene Commence
In The month of january 2017, the world's least heavy mechanical chronograph was introduced in Geneva, Switzerland, displaying the development of innovative composite materials making use of graphene.
The analysis behind the project has already been published. This unique excellence design watch is the results of a collaboration between Hertfordshire University, Richard Mille Wrist watches and McLaren Applied.
The RM 50-03 watch is made of a unique graphene composite material. The solid and lightweight new case properties the watch device, and the overall weight including the strap is merely 40 grams. Patek Philippe replica watches
This kind of cooperation is an excellent project to research the correct arrangement of graphene in composite materials to make total use of the highest performance in the mechanical stiffness and toughness of the two-dimensional material with no adding other heavier supplies.
Now, the analysis behind this unique watch have been published in the " Ceramic material Part A: Applied Research and Manufacturing" magazine. That work was mainly completed by a team of scientists from the National Graphene Company at the University of Lancaster.
Professor Robert Young, who led your research, said: " In this perform, the mechanical properties involving unidirectional reinforced carbon fiber impur have been significantly enhanced by having only a small amount of graphene for the matrix. replic watches for sale
" This may have a very future impact on the detail engineering industry, where power, rigidity and product fat are key issues like aerospace and automotive. "
Adding a few graphene to the carbon fiber blend material aims to improve firmness and reduce weight by lowering the overall material usage. Due to the fact graphene has high tightness and strength, its make use of as a reinforcing material regarding polymer composites shows fantastic potential for further improving often the mechanical properties of ceramic material.
The end result is the fact only 2% by pounds of graphene is included in the epoxy resin. The particular graphene and carbon fiber ceramic material obtained are then assessed through tensile testing, as well as the mechanism is mainly revealed by making use of Raman spectroscopy and Ray x CT scanning. fake watches for sale
The benefits of this kind of research demonstrate a simple approach that can be incorporated into present industrial processes, enabling the actual engineering industry to benefit from your mechanical properties of graphene, such as the manufacture of plane wings or the body of top of the line cars.
Your research team found that the add-on of graphene significantly increased tensile stiffness and energy compared with carbon fiber equivalent trial samples. This happens when graphene will be dispersed in the material along with aligned along the fiber way.
Dr . Zheling Li, a researcher on the University of Manchester, explained: " This study offers a method to improve the axial rigidity and strength of ceramic material through simple conventional digesting methods, and clarifies the particular mechanism that leads to this enlargement.

Richard Mille’s Aurèle Vuilleumier R& D Supervisor said: “This project is actually a perfect example of technology exchange from university to product or service. The collaboration with McLaren Applied allows graphene-reinforced composite to spread widely on the market. As a tangible result, for the The customer provided a world report light and robust enjoy: RM 50-03. "
Dr . Broderick Coburn, senior mechanical design industrial engineer at McLaren Applied, claimed: “The potential of graphene to enhance the structural qualities of composites has been identified and has been proven on a research laboratory scale for some time. Although that application is niche, this can be a A good example. These structural positive aspects make it a prepreg and after that into the actual product. "
The College or university of Manchester will soon enjoy the opening of it is second world-class graphene center, the Graphene Engineering Creativity Center (GEIC), which will wide open later this year. GEIC allows the industry to work with academic knowledge, transform research into representative models and trial production, in addition to accelerate the commercialization connected with graphene. replica Bremont Watches
MMOexp-FC 25: Mcon SBC Review – Meta Right Back or Just a Coin Sink
EA FC 25 is now deep into its Footies promo season, and with it comes a wave of high-powered Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), offering flashy pink cards FC 25 Coins, boosted stats, and elite-tier playstyles. Among them, one SBC stands out-not just because of its 16-squad requirement, but because of what's at stake: a 97-rated Footies version of Mcon, arguably one of the best right backs currently available in Ultimate Team.
But at nearly 900,000 to 1 million coins worth of fodder, is this endgame fullback worth the grind, or is he another overpriced SBC best left on the shelf?
Let's break down his stats, in-game performance, playstyle pluses (and minuses), and overall value to determine whether Mcon deserves a spot in your starting XI.
First Impressions: Elite Presentation, Heavy Price Tag
From the moment the SBC dropped, many players were quick to pull the trigger-thanks in part to leaks, a flashy dynamic image, and the allure of a 97-rated defender. For those who remember his League Objective version, expectations were high.
Mcon's SBC costs just shy of a million coins' worth of fodder across 16 squads. According to EasySBC, he sits around 893K, while FootBin lists him a bit higher at 1.02M. Either way, he's expensive-not just in terms of coins, but in time, effort, and inventory depth.
Still, his on-paper stats are mouthwatering:
55 Controlled Lengthy
Anticipate+, Rapid, Long Ball+
Nine golden gang attributes
5-star skill moves and weak foot
This is a premium-tier card from head to toe-but perfection comes at a price.
In-Game Performance: Strong, Quick, and Tactical
Once deployed with an Anchor Chemistry Style, Mcon immediately shows his class. The controlled lengthy body type helps him generate stride-based acceleration down the flank, perfect for overlapping runs. His defensive presence is as solid as advertised:
Jockeying speed and body control are elite-tier, making 1v1 defending feel smooth.
Physical duels favor him consistently thanks to the Bruiser and Anticipate+ playstyles.
His Rapid+ trait helps close space quickly once he's in full stride.
In early gameplay, Mcon shows off:
Clean ball recovery in shoulder-to-shoulder situations
Clutch tackles even after being caught slightly out of position
Effective transitions from defense to attack, especially with long balls up the pitch
That said, he's not the fastest fullback off the mark. Without Quick Step, explosive sprints are slightly dulled. His left stick dribbling is also a touch stiff-not clunky, but noticeably slower than top-tier agile wing-backs like Frimpong or Cafu.
Offensive Contributions: Can He Cook Up the Pitch?
Mcon is more than just a stay-at-home right back. With Long Ball+, he's capable of:
Hitting sharp diagonal passes upfield
Whipping early crosses with precision
Supporting overlaps and cut-ins
During the review, he even scored a cheeky Travela attempt and showed confidence on the ball with five-star skills, including a cheeky rainbow flick that left the opposition sliding around in panic.
While he lacks Pinged Pass or Tiki Taka, his fundamentals are more than enough to support fast build-up and combination play in tight areas. He can hang with attackers, get up the wing, and contribute in the final third-especially when paired with offensive-minded midfielders.
Let's get into his most impactful PlayStyle+ and traits and what's missing:
Anticipate+
Absolute gold for defenders. Wins more duels. Feels sticky when tackling.
This is arguably his most important trait and one of the key reasons he's meta.
Rapid+
Helps him recover into position and explode into sprints-particularly effective when covering for high lines.
Long Ball+
Great for long-range distribution, allowing for diagonal switches or pinged passes down the line.
No Quick Step, Pinged Pass, or Tiki Taka
These omissions slightly limit his agility and passing fluidity.
For a fullback costing close to 1M, you'd expect at least one of these traits.
The lack of Intercept+ also slightly lowers his defensive ceiling in elite matchups.
If EA offers a future upgrade path (like they did with Ronald), adding those traits could complete him-but as it stands, he's close to elite, not perfect.Mcon comes out looking like a premium hybrid between Walker and Cafu, trading some finesse for raw strength and presence. He's not the fastest nor the most technical, but he wins almost every duel and offers solid link-up play with room to expand if future upgrades are allowed.
Final Verdict: Is Mcon Worth the 900K+ Grind?
Let's be real-16 squads is a tall order. Even with fodder inflation easing during the Footies promo and daily packs dropping specials, this is a serious investment Buy Fut 25 Coins.
If you:
Need an endgame right back who can start every weekend league match
Have a Ligue 1 or French-heavy squad
Enjoy powerful, physical fullbacks who can also overlap and support the attack
Are sitting on a ton of fodder or have coins ready
Then YES, Mcon is 100% worth it. He locks in a key role for the rest of FC 25's cycle.
But if you:
Already have Cafu, Frimpong, or another elite right back
Prefer ultra-agile, quick turners
Want to conserve fodder for potential 99-rated attackers in August
Then it might be worth skipping or waiting to see what EA drops next.
