- Aerogel has extraordinary properties but it can be tough to work with. This video looks at modifying aerogels to take advantage of their unique characteristics.

And thanks to FLIR for loaning us the awesome high definition thermal camera. The footage is amazing! www.flir.com
Aerogel’s extraordinary properties are due in large part to its structure. Aerogel is a solid but on the nanoscale it has a mesh or sponge-like structure. The struts of this structure are nanoscale, as are the pores at around 20nm across. This makes silica aerogel incredibly light (it was once the lightest solid but has now been superseded by graphene aerogel), transparent and adsorbent.
An ice-cube sized piece of aerogel has an internal surface area roughly equal to half a football field. Aerogel is used in high end museum cases to regulate humidity. Plus it helps maintain the vacuum on the Mars Insight seismometers - it adsorbs moisture and other outgassed volatiles that come from the spacecraft itself. Proposed uses include as a physical insecticide by ‘drying out insects’ reducing the need for chemical and toxic pesticides.

John Chase i dunno man i just said that technically he is a professional who got a full scholarship for an engineering school and is a physicist, if he gets scared it probably has to do with the situation he is in not because he isn’t who he is.
This video makes me realize how amazing science is. The things these scientists are able to figure out is just astonishing.
I was also wondering how that guy got all the aerogel powder off his body. Especially since it repels water. ?
*Covers himself in Aerogel*: Wow this feels weird
*Submerges in pool*: Awesome, I don't even feel wet
*Gets in shower*: Damn, how do I get this stuff off?
well, as long as the dirt/grime on his skin doesn't get the aerogel on it, then he doesn't need to take it off!
@Andy Smith yeah fair enough.

A soap will most likely do the job since it contains both a polar and non polar section
Everything about the aerogel is so so trippy.
The weight
The sound it makes
Thermal isolation
Water repellent
In the video, with just aerogel itself, it is hydrophilic which means it attracts and absorbs water.
The fact so little of it has so much surface area.
Somehow I read “ everything about aerogel is so happy “ I was very confused
The fact that I want to eat it for some weird reason

“I waterproofed myself”
Skin: Am I a joke you you?
Peter skin absorbs water
Pores: yes
Yeah, what he said
Yes, if you just got wet, water was gonna sit there, but leave that wet area of your skin alone and you will dry. That's because your skin absorbed the water, but sometimes I like to think that it could had evaporated, because I have a hard time believing my skin is eating what I leave on it
Hatin Life you are right, skin absorbs some of the water while some of the water evaporates.

@ChaiSpicedD The thing is: Insulation and water repelling works both ways. So the body heat and sweat of the fireman can also become a problem. That being said, I could imagine that those kind of suits can be used for short durations in extreme situations. Most likely not with a wet gel, but a composite of aerogel and fiber, as the paste could fall off and some composites are already quite flexible.
But, all of that is more like an idea for the far future. Right now these aerogels are quite expensive to produce and mostly labscale and rarely in industrial use (NASA, Mars Rover and such).

Veritasium: I’m going to be making more clickbait titles moving forward.
Also Veritasium: makes intriguing titles which perfectly reflect the content of the video AND draw in new viewers.
I want to believe this is true!
@@veritasium it is true, Derek. Very true. I take my hat off.
@@veritasium Look at the titles and thumbnails of your most popular videos. Straight forward title and thumbnails, with legit videos to back that up.
To be fair, I think there's a difference between an eye-catching title and one that is clickbait. An eye-catching title in combination with an equally attention grabbing thumbnail is not the same thing as blatant clickbait. I get the feeling the word clickbait has begun to lose its meaning. The prime example of clickbait is when the title or some element of the title is nowhere to be found or referenced in the actual content, or has very little relation to it. Unfortunately these days I see many things being labeled as clickbait that don't follow this example. In my opinion, for something to classify as clickbait it must follow that prime example to a T. If it doesn't, it's not clickbait.
I think there is a simple logic process to follow for finding out if it's really clickbait. Take videos with titles as questions, for example. Did the question posed by the title get answered in the video? If so, it's not clickbait. If not, it's clickbait.
