    Great, but with a lighter and a newspaper, I can melt my way through it, with out making a noise.

    IMO even better

    That might be a very good SA-type-of use for it! Especially since it's got so much of the properties which might make if a lot better than steel / plastic:
    • Transparent, so you could even use as replacement for glass in fixed-pane windows. Though open panes would still require a perforated mesh (like Trellidor's ClearView) / bars (like the seethrough security bars).
    • Much stronger than steel (100 to 300 times)
    • Best electric conductor we know of - so your security system can run through it without extra wires.
    • Can double as photo voltaic - so you can use your windows as solar panels.
    • Can be mixed with any water / mineral soluble substance (while in its graphene-oxide form), e.g. ceramics to make any colours or opacity you prefer.


    Price-wise though it seems a bit high (though I'm not sure how far it goes in the oxide form) - http://www.cheaptubesinc.com/graphene-oxide.htm

    I suppose Boksburg is not the greatest example! And it might not be called a "valley" ... rather "ditch" ... but that could sound even more offensive!

    Ok so lets find out how much it costs, if it makes financial sense lets, as 'forumsa', revolutionize the security industry, even Oscar couldn't use the assailant excuse if this works???
