[Gasification] Observations On Inlet Air Temperature

[Greg Manning]

Greetings Jim and list.


 Jim,  Cerama-lite is "ceramic glass" good to well over 2200f it has a
slightly brownish tinge but transparent.

 One square foot lists @ 80-95 dollars.

I have 2 square feet.....

sounds like a wonderful idea.  i've been thinking about doing the same.

what do you know about possible clear materials to use?  you mention
cerama-lite.  what is that?  pyrex glass is only good to aobut 500F.
what else is there that we might consider?
