Cool...how much for a hull made of that stuff? Fuel tanks?

Pretty interesting. A transparent ceramic...

Wonder just how brittle it might be.

Cool, my entire boat could be transparent! Except the head...I wonder how I would find her in an anchorage...? I guess you would see a toilet levitating above a large rusting Cummins...that's enough I'm outta here
