Or at least that's what I got from the data presentation.

Did a little research on the PGS graphite sheet. It sounds perfect until you get into the data a little bit. It transfers heat really well in the x and y axis but is darn near insular in the z axis. In other words a sheet will transmit heat really well in the flat plane but not through the sheet. Therefore if you rolled a small piece around a SS wick and the wrapped the coil around that it would insulate rather than transfer the heat. It all relates to the orientation of the carbon molecules in the sheet. If you could find a sheet that was insulative in the x and y and transmissive in the z axis it would be damn near perfect. Even at the quoted cost we are only talking about $.30 for a 10mm X 10mm square. That would be plenty to wrap a SS with.
Been following the coversation and thought somebody had it but, alas no.

Matt that it what i thought at first also....check out the video

I didn't really look at it, I got distracted by the next video. Depth of field

I saw that. As far as conductivity is concerned I think they are talking heat not electricity. The seimans no. is above 10,000 and that says pretty much non conductive to electricity. I may be wrong and will be the first to admit it. Not an engineer by any means. Mostly self taught.

Now getting even more off-topic
"For a device with a conductance of one siemens, the electric current through the device will increase by one ampere for every increase of one volt of electric potential difference across the device.
The conductance of a resistor with a resistance of five ohms, for example, is (5 Ω)−1, which is equal to 200 mS." - Wiki
A Siemens is the reciprocal of an Ohm - the larger the resistance (ohms), then the smaller the siemens number; therefore the larger the siemens, the smaller the ohms (resistance) and the better a conductor. So with a large siemens number, wouldn't it be a good electrical conductor?

Like I said I could be wrong.

Everyone is waiting to get some pyrex/fused quartz tubing in hand to play with. Meanwhile, the brainstorming continues
It's not optimal with pyrex because of thermal stress fears. We won't know for certain til more is done.
Pic from the video.....but its pretty clear heat transfers better than copper....and the stuff is not electrical conductive
But I have no idea if it will work for this application.....so i guess i will be the guinea pig
now waiting for glass and PGS
The Heat Resistive paint on Aluminum may be a Fail per Dry Burning/Other that causes the paint to detach...though coil resistance hasn't changed significantly.
I may or may not spend excessive years sitting around the dayroom of a nursing home in a wheelchair, semi-detached and watching I Love Lucy reruns.

if its not electrically conductive, skip all the steps and use IT instead of the SS mesh... 
there must be different types of weaves.

Another matter is with the PGS Graphite Sheet may be the minimum bending radius.
Wait...I'm already semi-detached.

I think all 3 dimensions, else why put it between a heat source and a heat sink per "2) Thermal Interface?
I thought about that....a little anyway....and thought limits were meant to be pushed or maybe cut it into thin strips
If all else fails I thought it was cool and might be nice to have around for other projects
Not to interrupt the discussion....but:
Time to get busy....
Continue on gentleman.
When did you order?
