Carbon nanotube strand, transmission line, manufacturing method of carbon nanotube strand and method of construction of transmission line

摘要

To provide a carbon nanotube strand utilizing the excellent characteristics of a carbon nanotube, a power transmission line using the carbon nanotube strand, and a method for manufacturing such a carbon nanotube strand.SOLUTION: A carbon nanotube strand 1 comprises a carbon nanotube fiber 2 formed only from the carbon nanotube and a pipe 3. A plurality of the carbon nanotube fibers 2 are housed in the pipe 3 and are firmly held from the outside by the pipe 3 over the entire region in a longitudinal direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
