This man will be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
I am still waiting to beam the MIL into outer space however. Warp drive seems possible ... fascinating. The flip phone ... how quaint.

Endless uses, but it may be beyond the budget of a coal stove buyer. Looks to be a scalable technology however and could be dirt cheap.

Another material that can do all that and more is graphene , watch the
short video for some basics.

This is harder than diamond ,200 times as strong as steel , and also
transparent. 30 times better conductor than copper , and the best heat
conductor on earth. Can be used in new batteries (Samsung) and since it
is super light in weight will be used in many applications.
It is the first material that is 2 dimensional , and only one atom thick , which is
considered zero height. It can be used in paint for heating of a room , like super
glass like windows , in batteries , solar cells , bullet proof vests , and oter endless
applications. Its twin compound have billions of other uses.

Amazing. I was just thinking of that Star Trek movie last week when trying to clean up my stove glass so I could see through it. Aluminum, nitrogen, and oxygen to make a ceramic, the guy said. But is it dimensionally stable like stove "glass" ceramic, and would it fog up any less?
But what if the graphene window could make the heat and light
to electricity and power the fan for the stove , and cool the window
with water for DHW .
Remember this would collect more heat than a solid copper plate
could. The uses are unlimited.

So as I understand it, I can press a strip of scotch tape onto a lump of my coal and come away with a little graphene on the tape, though with no practical use in that quantity and form. Thanks for the link to the video and the writeup. A new technology still in its infancy, like transistors were 70 years ago.

Oh, you mean like electric cars?A new technology still in its infancy, like transistors were 70 years ago.
Graphene is a flat 2 dimensional material with no height. It is nearly clear and will have many uses
now in its infancy. Uses are in armor,batteries, solar cells, water desalinization, protective glass
coating , heat paint , and many more.Its a super material.

You have to use scotch type tape onto graphite not coal , it is mined separately at different locations
in the world , one in Alabama USA. The 2010 Nobel Prize was won for this scotch tape way of getting
graphene .

There are many TED talks about graphene on YouTube.
