Hi tom_o, not really the plan at this point was to over engineer. As for turbulence and surface area I was thinking of stuffing it full with 10mm aluminum wire mesh. Another issue was heat distortion of the tube when the ends and take offs are welded on, the outside needs to be a nice flat surface. 

Interesting idea there, lots of surface area without having to deal with cnc milling. Are there types of of that bar with ridges on the inside cause that'd be ideal? Is this the kind of thing you mean?



Cause you could just roll up a bit and slide it down the tube! Not sure about the welding and heat distortion, the blocks we made used a cnc'ed acrylic top with O-ring which wouldn't really be practical for this.
