Steve,

Maybe you read about Carbon Foam.  I saw it related to making a better
radiator for engine cooling (for heavy equipment and even NASCAR).  I see it
has many applications and may even be commercially viable.  Check out these
pages.

Subject:        Ruggedizing Assemblies...

I know what I'm about to ask, probably won't get many responses...I
understand. It has to do with ruggedizing assemblies, mostly having to do
with thermal management.

I've done some pretty extensive searching, and have read quite a bit about
conduction cooling...but I've heard about a type of "Foam" or coating, that
has recently been used to beat the heat...I can't find anything about it
though.

So per chance, I thought I would ask here...anybody know anything about
this?

As always, thanks a bunch!!
