Before using wire coathangers for anything, you might want to review this safety video...

Gold is pretty, but silver had the higher conductivity. Gold is used where oxidation is a factor! However, the best answer may be to combine your suggestion and mine. Start by plating with silver (inside and out) then plate a second coat of gold. Not only will it protect the silver from any oxidation, it will also look really, really sharp, generating bling/swag points for the owner. BTW, all the mounts really should be machined Teflon block type with stainless hardware.
Teflon is nice but don't you think Delrin would be cooler. I mean come on what is cooler than the wheel bearings from Hot Wheels???

Are you trying to be sarcastic? There was like 5 serious answers and the rest were blatantly playing along.
Whoa whoa whoa there. Hold your horses. What are you guys talking about trolling? Isn't that for fishing?
I took all of this advice and am writing a book now.

I'm just going to perch here and watch you guys flounder on the bottom. Without a trout this is the fishiest thread to break the surface, and sail along.

Has anyone tried using a trout for subfeed?

When I was working as a contractor, I used trout to feed my subs. Sub-contractors that is. Keith

Keep the small trout live. Fill the larger pipes with water, thread the pull string throug the trout's gills, and they will swim the length of the pipe. No easier way to thread the pull string. No, they are not strong enough to pull the wire itself.

I like this idea for my network. Think I can get gigabit using the trout, or should I look at largemouth bass?

Electric eels would be better. Since they are also generators it will significantly reduce your load on the grid!

If coathangers are ok for sub-feeds, would it be ok to use a coathanger to backfeed my generator?

How about using paralleled coat hangers to feed a 1000a 480v delta service? I think it will work way better than cu!

I think your wimpy little 1000a service will be no problem for MY coat hangers.

No, but it doesn't work so well to cut down the tallest tree in the forest either. You need a herring for that.
Neee.
