I think the heat part would best be Feolite, which is mostly sintered iron oxides, but with some other bits added. It has a tremendous volumetric heat capacity

I think the heat part would best be Feolite, which is mostly sintered iron oxides, but with some other bits added. It has a tremendous volumetric heat capacity, nearing that of water, but you can crank it way past 100 C without worrying about pressure.
- MrDunham 4y agoOne of my all time favorite everyday engineering things I've learned is the absolute bonkers amount of energy needed to boil water (vs nearly any other fluid). It's so commonplace yet absurd/impressive when you really think about it.
