Hi everyone.
So I was recently contacted by an american manufacturing company that offers tungsten and molybdenum manufactured products, and they have no minimum order! So this got me thinking: a tungsten host would be sick.
Imagine this: a host that will not scratch because it's material is incredibly hard. It is super heavy, almost twice as dense as lead. but also has a thermal conductivity just slightly below that of aluminum, and a heat capacity slightly bellow copper. It would have a grayish, gunmetal finish that won't tarnish, oxidize, or scratch. I think that would be pretty cool, don't you guys?
So what do you think, is there any real interest here or is this just a cool thought?
anyways, i'm awaiting info on whether the company can make the intricate things out of tungsten required for a host (like the threads on everything) since tungsten is very hard to machine. it would be great if someone could computer design an extremely simple host, i do have some ideas so PM if you are good at CAD and want to help with this.
just know everyone, this is not set in stone. this may be super, super expensive so don't get your hopes to high up.
