[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 115530, member: 8"] 7mmRHB If my discussion lead you to believe that I said it wouldn't or couldn't work I am sorry about that. My discussion was about carbon fibers, gels and heat transfer in general. It is possible to build a light barrel that retains heat or a light barrel that sheds heat. One would a have to know a lot of detailed coeffecients and thickness of materials such as Roy's post says before one could calculate what will happen. There is also the alignment of the fibers, which affect heat transfer. Some people are may not be very interested in the science behind a carbon wrapped barrel and some people may. Some people will just want to know if it works and could care less why it works. My preference in looking at sceince is not the commercial vendor but independent research that supports the claimed application. The article I posted a link to was from Penn State and was discussing areonautical applications and comparing carbon to other heat transfer materials. Research scientist are people just like anybody else and their results are often influenced by who funded the research and follow up promises of additional funding. About a month ago when I looked into this, I actually collected the thermal conductivity coeffiecients of barrel stainless steel and about 10-15 diffeerent types of fibers. This information alone was enough to convince me that the heat transfer was theoretically feasible. Sometimes I just draw up little cartoons of sharks and stuff and sometimes I don't. There was and is no intent to debate or argue with anyone. It was just background information. [/QUOTE]
