A question that came to me was whether the alumina endcaps could be
replaced with metal endcaps of a suitable alloy in the context of a larger
array of devices, in order to provide a suitable path out for the heat to
be used to generate steam.  Another question I have is how much thermal
load one of these devices can handle.
