I'll be going back to school for Chemical engineering next fall, maybe I can dedicate my time to developing some better coatings for the turbo guys.

I've got an idea that builds off of the new(ish) carbon nanotube/ceramic technology that should increase thermal efficiency dramatically.

 

^^ Just as long as you make it cheap and so I can coat it at home in my garage

 

Carbon nanotube composites cost around $700 per gram last time I checked, and a specialized ceramic compound wouldn't make it any cheaper. I'll see what I can do though, the more we use this stuff the cheaper it will become. My target market is going to be the aircraft industry, so you can believe that GE will see to it that it becomes cheap (at least for them).

This is assuming that I am able to make it work.
