So this chunk of metal is 500 pieces of stainless steel wire mesh compressed together using a similar process to Damascus steel. It's going to be used as a heat sink for a wind turbine. The process through which it was made created a thin metal layer on the outside which channels heat through the centre. Anyway this will sell for about one thousand dollars and costs slightly less than that much to make.
