Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A carbon allotrope heating element includes an electrical resistivity between 0.005 ohms per square (Ω/sq) and 3.0 Ω/sq. A heating system includes a component and a carbon allotrope heating element having an electrical resistivity between 0.005 Ω/sq and 3.0 Ω/sq. A method includes modifying a carbon allotrope heating element to have an electrical resistivity between 0.005 Ω/sq and 3.0 Ω/sq and applying the carbon allotrope heating element to a component of an aircraft.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method comprising: reducing a number and/or size of air voids in a carbon allotrope heating element to have an electrical resistivity between 0.005 Ω/sq and 3.0 Ω/sq; and applying the carbon allotrope heating element to a component of an aircraft. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the component is a rotor blade and the carbon allotrope heating element has an electrical resistivity between 0.01 Ω/sq and 0.05 Ω/sq. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the component is a wing and the carbon allotrope heating element has an electrical resistivity between 0.05 Ω/sq and 3.0 Ω/sq. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the component is a propeller and the carbon allotrope heating element has an electrical resistivity between 0.06 Ω/sq and 0.75 Ω/sq. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the component is located on a commuter aircraft and the carbon allotrope heating element has an electrical resistivity between 0.005 Ω/sq and 1.0 Ω/sq. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the component is located on an unmanned aerial vehicle and the carbon allotrope heating element has an electrical resistivity between 0.005 Ω/sq and 1.0 Ω/sq. 7. A method comprising: perforating a carbon allotrope heating element to have an electrical resistivity between 0.005 Ω/sq and 3.0 Ω/sq; and applying the carbon allotrope heating element to a component of an aircraft.
