Did anyone notice that the nanomaster.com and thermocomposite.com websites look eerily similar? I think I see what these guys are trying to do. They patent a geometry for bonding carbon fiber nanotubes (kinda of a cheap shot, whatever) some sort of heatsink or method for making heatsinks from CFNs (didn't read the whole brief, not going to lie here) and then they come up with a machine for "growing" CFNs.

So, you the machinist, buy a machine for $200,000 to grow CFNs and make CFN based heatsinks. You then pay thermocomposite a roylaty for using their design (bonding angles for CFNs), and then eventually sell your heatsinks to the public. So all they leave us is the leg work (manufacturing and selling to the public). That's nice of them. Good buisness concept, should anyone choose to dive in.
