"A human hair is about 100 microns in diameter ... A single carbon fiber might be 10 microns in diameter, but a nanoparticle is about 0.0001 the diameter of a human hair."
Dr. Bill Goodman
On this edition of The Ex Terra Podcast, Tom Patton talks with Dr. Bill Goodman, founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Goodman Technologies.
"A human hair is about 100 microns in diameter ... A single carbon fiber might be 10 microns in diameter, but a nanoparticle is about 0.0001 the diameter of a human hair," Goodman said. "What makes them very special is if you compare their surface area to volume ratio, it's an extraordinarily high number compared to a larger particle like a marble, or a baseball, or a beach ball."
Dr. Goodman is often referred to as the "real-world Tony Stark". He has made many contributions to the State-Of-The-Art: airborne SiC telescopes, space and nuclear survivable coatings and mirrors, lightweight mirrors for space and directed energy, seeker telescopes, deformable mirrors, fast steering mirrors, actively cooled mirrors/structures, windows for HELs, solar telescope mirrors, etc.
He says he has lost count of the number of patents held by his company, but not the bills from his patent attorney.
Products range from thermal and radiation shielding to body armor. He earned both a Masters and PhD. in Material Sciences from UCLA.
