Juster, last month you asked Zeev about patents and if a company
might be working on that wind-up power device for applications.

There is also another area of interest that at present is not ready
to have a big impact until certain manufacturing problems are solved.
But if a breakthru in current research could unlock barriers, then
this product could be big.

The first applications could be in medicine, and on this thread
I see a Howard D. Epstein, M.D. as a poster, so maybe he could
note for you where to research, if you choose to look into this.

I'll list key words to describe so searches can be done.

buckeyballs
fullerenes
buckminsterfullerene
Rice University
carbon nanotube
therapeutic agents in medicine
flat panel displays
field emission problem
IBM Watson Research Center, Nanometer Scale group

Presently, cost is high.

Tubes@Rice (Rice University) sells purified nanotubes for $2,000 a gram.
cnst.rice.edu

CarboLex (University of Kentucky at Lexington) not purified at $200 gram.

Gold is around $? a gram. I forget grams per ounce ratio.
