Dien... I need your help!

Hi Dien,

While we are on the subject of "Cold fusion", "Einstein's refrigerator" and some scientific threads of recent, this has prompted me to ask your advice as a Physicist.

A friend of mine has asked if I would like to help him distribute a product he has invested heavily in over the last few years.

He has production all ready to go in mainland China for his product but is unsure which Australian industries to approach that may be interested in buying it.

The product is "heat tubes", made out of aluminium and filled with a special gas.
They can be manufactured to order in any length and in any diameter from a quarter inch to an inch or more.

The tubes are sealed at both ends, and when one end is placed in something cold or hot, the temperature is transmitted down the tube to the other end.

To illustrate what these tubes can do, my friend gave me two quarter inch diamter tubes, both about 2 feet in length to hold in my hands.

One tube was an ordinary hollow aluminium tube, while the other was his special "heat tube" as described above.

He then made me place the other ends of both tubes in a cup of boiling water.

Within seconds, I could not hold the "heat tube" at the other end two feet away from the heat source!... The tube conducted the heat from the boiling water so fast up the entire length of the tube it almost burnt my hand!

The hollow tube of the same length I was holding in my other hand got nowhere as near as hot and I was able to hold it for serval minutes before it got too hot to hold.

Now my question is....

Assuming my friend can manufacture and supply these heat tubes at a viable and marketable cost....

What industries do you feel we should approach who would be most likely to be interested in them?

Do you feel there would be a good market for them?

Warmest Regards & $uccess
