The idea is neat but the infrastructure needed is the real revolution waiting to happen. They make bricks that stay industrial levels of hot for long periods of time.
How do the bricks get heated? Does that scale easily?
Do heated bricks get transported or heated onsite?
Can existing industrial hardware like kilns, forges, and steam generators use these bricks with little retrofitting?
This is a tech to watch but don’t anticipate an overnight (or even during the decade) switch to hot bricks.

I think it’s resistive heat; only way we have right now that makes things that kind of hot. It’s done onsite. Allows reasonably efficient retrofits.
