Message: Liquid metal electrodes for plasma reactor / torch

Hi Peter,

 

Another couple of questions for you, when you have the time to answer.

I have read a Russian article, where they were talking about production of graphene nanotubes with 1 atom thickness walls. Apparently a unique plasma reactor was created where they grow the nanotubes at industrial scale now, and are supplying around 90% of world demand of the nanotubes, because no one in the world was able to recreate such technology so far, despite it being more than 5 years now since it has been known.

The most interesting part of the reactor, from my perspective, were the liquid metal electrodes which produce the arc for plasma, which essentially can be used forever, without needing replacement.

  1. Has Pyrogenesis ever explored liquid metal electrodes for reactors and / or torches, even just from theoretical perspective?
  2. Has Pyrogenesis considered developing plasma reactor for the graphene nanotubes market, which seems to grow fast and becoming very significant (article mentions potential in trillions of $)?

Thank you very much in advance once again.
