  • 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 This makes silica aerogel incredibly light (it was once the lightest solid but has now been superseded by graphene aerogel), transparent and adsorbent.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.

      @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).

    • @spartan456
      @spartan456 5 років тому +6

      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.
