And I did use my brain, that's how I eliminated the obviously unrealistic materials that still meet the strength and thermal conductivity requirements. Obviously brick, bamboo or glass would not be very easy to come by in washer form, but nylon or other polymers are more realistic.
Sorry d00de if I had made any comments offending you, wasn't my intention
Sometimes peeps are fascinated by diff sotware doing simulations and cals and treat it as Bible almost, not mere tools which they are.
Eeach and every theory in physics was arived at through abstract mental models and equations are only universla representations of such models - just tools.
Taht's what I meant and apologies once agian if you felt offendend thinking that I implied you were not using your grey matter Sorry m8!
