1. A machine configured to make a composite tube, such that the machine comprises:
a mandrel that comprises an interior wall and a central axis; and a nozzle that comprises a set of rollers configured to grip a leading edge of a fiber and pull the fiber through the nozzle via the set of rollers being spaced apart from each other, by a distance less than a diameter of the fiber, and a spring configured to apply a force on at least one roller of the set of rollers, such that the nozzle applies individual fibers, while a resin coats the interior wall of the mandrel as the mandrel spins. |
