Doug Casey's Take

Special Guest: Kevin Bambrough on HydrogGraph and Nanotech


Listen Later

Former Sprott CEO Kevin Bambrough on Hydrograph: Fractal Graphene, Nanotech's Breakout Moment Podcast hosts interview Kevin Bambrough, author and former Sprott CEO, about why he became a major shareholder in Hydrograph and why he believes graphene—specifically Hydrograph's turbo-stratic, fractal graphene aggregates—solves key industry problems like clumping and poor dispersion that plagued earlier graphite-derived approaches.

Bambrough recounts his investing background and explains graphene's sought-after properties (strength, conductivity, EMF shielding) and why Hydrograph's purity and SP2 bonding matter for real-world applications. The panel discusses potential use cases across polymers, coatings, tires, construction materials, batteries, semiconductors, and military needs, plus Hydrograph's patent moat and licensing potential. They cover manufacturing via acetylene/oxygen combustion in a chamber, economics such as a stated $250,000/ton price with far lower required loadings, modular "Hyperion" scaling, work with dozens of companies, and catalysts like EPA approvals, a possible Nasdaq listing, and a Texas gas-plant partnership, while noting execution and IP/theft as key risks.
