Actually this should be a call-for-proposal for Y Combinator, demonstrating carbon fiber knitting.

Carbon fiber is typically woven in a simple fashion, to keep the strands straight because high tensile strength is the key.

But if it can be shown that knitted structures can preserve the tensile strength, that would be interesting indeed.

Think about the recent Titan submersible failure due to carbon fiber construction. What if instead of sheets of carbon fiber that could delaminate, you had a solid knitted carbon fiber shape? You might be able to demonstrate knitting that has more isotopic strength under both compressive and tensile loads.
