I regularly make aerogel in my garden shed in Scotland, having worked on it since the 1980s in France. I use it as a gasket in wooden sole plates in SIP buildings to avoid cold penetration. We have found a way of making it transparent for use in double glazing that avoids 'curtaining'. The insulation it provides is better than a 150mm SIP. I am currently installing it in a series of sound booths where we can find tune it for different purposes... e.g. band practice, recording, etc. The next project is for use in van bodywork as a composite.
Would you consider doing a piece on cork in regard to thermal and sounds proofing properties (regular and expanded cork panels) in architectural application? Thanks and great job as always :-d
Looking forward to your follow up videos on Aerogel. A time line of when discovered and modified to the different types, would give us a better understanding of where we are in the evolution of this emerging technology.
*Spouse:* Honey, what is this bill for $23,000 for? *Me:* I bought a pound of Aerogel. *Spouse:* A pound of Aero what? What is that? *Me:* Well, it's about 97% air... _And that's how I ended up on the couch._
UCB patented it nearly 2 decades ago and was used in space suits shortly after. It’s arrival in public retail sector has been anticipated for awhile. Aviation industry has attempted to develop as a cabin insulation but it hasn’t met required flame ratings. I’m guessing auto industry would like it for similar applications but again flame spread is a concern.
Hi Belinda. My self a civil engineer. Also doing contract business in Bangalore India. Just started watching u r Post. Wonderful knowledge by transfer about the material. Deep Analysis about the material. All the best for your future video. Jay Thaman
3:25 "orange is the new black" - what i mean is that our eyes would not perceive if this "black" object really is radiating a wavelength of light corresponding to what we falsely classify as "orange", which is really just a specific combination of RGB values. just be mindful of our inability to actually perceive the full breadth of the "visible" light spectrum, my dear. love this vid btw!
Wow, another excellent, clear explanation with just the right level of detail! Like others, I had no idea there were types other than silica. I’m surprised by the applications in clothing, because it seems so fragile. What do they do to keep it from just being crunched into tiny particles?
The U.S. government has been working with “air gel” (aerogel) since at least the early 1980’s. There was a documentary on it back then. There is footage of a sledge hammer hitting a guys hand that was covered with a thin sheet of air gel, a flame etc. Nothing bothered the hand in the least bit in a bunch of wild tests. Good stuff.
The Americans 'found it' after it had been developed in Universities in France in the early 1980s. Since then there has been a campaign to write out the French developments. To this day Aspen Aerogels have got it wrong. They are only interested in $ and not true research. Sometime this year a lot of French research will be going open source, then you will see how cheap and easy it is to make.
You are a very intelligent person I have had the pleasure of watching many of your videos I find you to be informative Concise in the information that you share and I truly appreciate that there’s no fluff you’re to the point and you share facts allowing us to develop an opinion I do appreciate all of your presentations please keep up the good work and I hope that you get more sponsorship
I very much enjoy the straightforward scientific perspective you bring to innovative, experimental, unconventional and sometimes quite traditional building methods and materials. Do you know of forums where a novice building enthusiast can go to communicate with other unconventionally practical thinkers? Thank you for inspiring and informing my growing curiosity about building a home.
Great video!!! I can hardly wait for Aerogel SIP walls. I would love to hear what you have to say about supercapacitor. I have a feeling they will be a world-wide game changer very soon. Everything from home construction to powering the home.
this is pretty funny because at the start of the pandemic I'd joke with my coworker that if I were Elon Musk I'd make a "carbon nano-tube fiber & aerogel insulated mask" since I knew aerogel is a very light substance. I actually had no idea about it's insulating properties. What would the feasibility be on an aerogel mask? lol, of coarse you wouldn't want to breathe in those particles all the time. Maybe a light fabric material blocking that? I have no idea I just that that was kinda funny. Great video btw!
Your posts are consistently interesting and informative.You must be a very interesting person.Now if they could make a gel with vacuum pockets then you would have real insulators.
Hearing you mention open and closed cell foam insulation makes me wonder what your opinion of using either or neither in the inside of my roof that doesn't have insulation. The roof is a 12 x 12 pitch. Your thoughts, thanks
I've been interested in this for such a long time but what I cannot really understand is how it has been turned into robust products - give the admitted fragility.
Interestingly, powderizing areogels still allow them to retain some of their unique properties. The sample in the video was also a specific formulation - Other areogel formulas are more robust by a large margin. She actually went over a good number of alternative formulas, I believe, albeit briefly.
The whole video I was thinking about the upcoming remodeling/renovation of a 120 year old house we've put an offer in on. Of course, aerogels seem to be a different cost-class than I'm able to put into a couple year renovation project, but I was thinking about it just the same. There were several examples of current commercial uses for aerogels, but I'm wondering if for construction they're really far out of reach for most people still? Seems the manufacturing process (as described) would be cost prohibitive, though.
Outstanding job on this video, Belinda! I love that you are covering an exciting material but from the perspective of how we as architects may be able to use this on buildings. I'm excited to see those follow up videos!
Rova makes some sprayable, putty and blanket insulating products that say they’re made with aerogel. It’d be neat to play with a gallon maybe for some automotive applications. I dunno. It might be neat to get some of that sorbethane to play with for a video. ‘Some proprietary Viscoelastic silicone vibration dampening material. I know clay is sometimes used in audio studio construction to float thick window panes in suspension. I believe it’s also used under floors as well for almost total sound separation between the control room and studio side. Then there’s that popular green caulk sound deadening stuff that apparently is applied on studs before drywall or decking. All that acoustics sound deadening, absorbing and vibration dampening stuff is fun. Rockwool you pointed out is a good sound absorbing material for panels. I believe the Tech Ingredients guy used some on a speaker build sandwiched between aluminum plate to make acoustically dead panels. He has a UA-cam channel. ua-cam.com/video/EEh01PX-q9I/v-deo.html I’m not sure if you’ve seen his content but it’s generally always fascinating to check out. Yeet :)
Just a suggestion for next video - and this was a really interesting one! But you might start off with the “uses” first so we have the big picture. Still, thanks for your educational channel!
Lots of applications for spacecraft hulls and for cleaning up space debris with angled panels and even automotive, naval, and aircraft uses and many many more.
Hi Belinda, I am new to your channel. I would like to thank you for all the educational content. Your channel is the channel of my dreams and I hope you continue to do well. It will take me some time to go through all of your videos but rest assured that you now have a loyal fan. Best wishes.
Fascinating topic. I was surprised to learn that the R value is only R20 per inch. I'm surprised you didn't compare it to spray foam. A quick search says closed cell spray foam is R7 per inch, so it's about three times as effective. From all I've heard about aerogels over the years, I had assumed the difference would have been larger. I've heard many people say they wish it were affordable so that they could insulate their homes with it, but unless someone develops a cheap spray version (obviously a completely different manufacturing process), it sounds like closed cell spray foam is the closest thing we can really hope for without a manufacturing breakthrough.
Sadly its so brittle material as you can see in the video that in just one year i would predict R value drops simply due hairline cracking caused by the frame movement. Only material stable enough would be concrete, but even then there out to be some movement and this material would turn into dust. Each hairline crack creates passage trough the material so air can move past it. This would be otherwise be great material but it has severe problems as for now. Maybe if it could be made bit more elastic it could be used in construction insulation.
Interesting, I'm also still trying to understand this material, had no idea there were so many and didn't realize how commercialized it already was outside of NASA.
Another fine presentation on what is a truly amazing product and with so many applications already... Do you think that as time goes on and as it's applied to more situations that the expense of it's production will decrease? or maybe there will be a breakthrough in the production process that enables this material to be produced easier and cheaper and there by broaden its applications. Food for thought for another feast of which I'm sure you will be our gracious host. What is refreshing is that you are able to convey what you know of the nature of whatever you are presenting but you don't TRY to come across as the expert... ,Merry Christmas Ms. Carr and have a Happy New Year!... Peace, Happiness, Health and Love to you and to those you care for.
Sell merch or create a patreon! Love this channel. More interested in the sound insulation properties of the different aerogels. There might be some applications like 1st class airplane suites where it might make sense.
I accidentally made a form of aerogel way back before it became known. If only I had known what it was and it properties back then. It was just a curiosity for me at the time. The aerogel I made was with alcohol mixed with silicon not silicates. It probably could have been sprayed onto walls but still would be very expensive.
I would love to see a video from you on nanowood! I did some research on it for a school project and I think it’s got more potential to be a mainstream insulation product vs. aerogel.
It sounds impressive how much it can absorb 25x it's weight, but if it barely weighs anything, then 25x nearly nothing is how much? Maybe a Bounty™ paper towel could do as well? A 25¢ sponge?? Great video :-)
I always wondered why my LL Bean packable jacket was as warm as my old heavy jackets. Had heavy jackets for years skiing and this thin jacket is just as warm. Was always weird. Never even considered the idea it's aerogel insulated.
If it has such a large surface area it should be possible to make it into a capacitor. If air can pass through it it should be a very good filter. If it's transparent with infrared light and opaque with UV light there might be a way to make it into a memory storage device.
While I understand why silicon should be non-toxic for humans and land-living life, I do wonder what harm it might do to water-based life: fish, corals, plankton, ...
It would be interesting to see what you could come up with regarding High Fidelity. The cone materials used vary widley as do the marketing explanations of their virtues :-)

Hello, I have a question. For the production of aerogel, I've only been able to obtain 500g of TMOS (Si(OCH3)4) and not the 100g version. Would this affect the aerogel production? If so, how can I use the 500g instead of the 100g along with the other materials? Thank you.
What will be needed to make a Aerogel product usable for the home/commercial construction market? And will flexibility and inhalation hazards be addressed in one solution? And a bit of mercy for us pyromaniacs please...
Thanks for the formula. After I figure out how to make iced tea, I'll start on the Aerogel.
Be careful when you search for a source for meth.

I regularly make aerogel in my garden shed in Scotland, having worked on it since the 1980s in France. I use it as a gasket in wooden sole plates in SIP buildings to avoid cold penetration. We have found a way of making it transparent for use in double glazing that avoids 'curtaining'. The insulation it provides is better than a 150mm SIP. I am currently installing it in a series of sound booths where we can find tune it for different purposes... e.g. band practice, recording, etc. The next project is for use in van bodywork as a composite.
The size of the sample shows the insane cost xD hope prices come down, because aerogel in my walls sounds awesome
If the price comes down by a factor of 100 it will still be the most expensive insulation material that you have to pre make off site.
@@rRobertSmith by area or by weight? A factor of 100 is pretty big
We are back in school! Thank you for the intro to Aerogel!
Would you consider doing a piece on cork in regard to thermal and sounds proofing properties (regular and expanded cork panels) in architectural application? Thanks and great job as always :-d
Looking forward to your follow up videos on Aerogel. A time line of when discovered and modified to the different types, would give us a better understanding of where we are in the evolution of this emerging technology.
I have the l.l. bean jacket and can confirm this stuff is wicked warm and lightweight!
*Spouse:* Honey, what is this bill for $23,000 for?
*Me:* I bought a pound of Aerogel.
*Spouse:* A pound of Aero what? What is that?
*Me:* Well, it's about 97% air...
_And that's how I ended up on the couch._
Haha! Imagine how large that pound of Aerogel would be...
@@BelindaCarr At least big enough to use as an Aerogel blanket is my guess. Should make life on the couch a bit more comfortable (lol).
If it's a single piece, it's about 0.3 cubic meters. Or a cube that's about 2 ft 3 inches on a side.
If you are not looking for solid forms then you can get it at reasonable prices.
The biggest problem would be where to store 1 pound of aerogel
I wasn't aware that this was already be used to make clothing. Cool stuff
UCB patented it nearly 2 decades ago and was used in space suits shortly after.
It’s arrival in public retail sector has been anticipated for awhile. Aviation industry has attempted to develop as a cabin insulation but it hasn’t met required flame ratings. I’m guessing auto industry would like it for similar applications but again flame spread is a concern.

For it to be practical home insulation you'd need to get price down. It would also be good for fridges.
A masterpiece of a video . I'm getting addicted to your channel

I am lookin forward to find out more about Carbon Aerogel. I enjoyed this video explaining the different aerogels.
Very interesting video! You see a lot of the trending videos with aero gel but it’s really cool to see your more technical breakdown.
Thank you Belinda !!! Was discussing AEROGEL the other day with my team. Perfect timing.
I have just subscribed......you have taken a subject that I would not normally care about and made it very interesting.....
There must be battery applications too... Great presentation and delivery.

Good topic and industrial application's
Your thirst for knowledge is infectious. Your ability to "explain clearly" is amazing. Wonderful videos. Thank you 👍😎
💜
They have been around along time, expensive to make. Extremely efficient the solar homes 12 to 15 years ago used them as insulation .
Very good. No drama, no hype or spin.
So is carbon aerogel better at absorbing organic vapors than activated charcoal? So it can be used in gasmask filters.
Lots of applications for spacecraft hulls and for cleaning up space debris with angled panels and even automotive, naval, and aircraft uses and many many more.
Thank you for such detailed in depth information about airgels and how it is made ❤
Very informative thanks
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO A VIDEO ON THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL: AIRCRETE?
IT LOOKS FASCINATING FOR SMALL HOMES AND SUCH.

Nice video, never heard of Aerogel before. Could you make a video about wood fiber insulation in the future?
Im 0 in this Subject...But i Watched it end....U R A Good Teacher
I've always thought this would be a great material to use to insulate a very small space, like a container home or one of those converted vans.
I’ve had the opportunity to examine aerogel for use with electronic applications.

great content - what happened to the rest of the chocolate chips :-)
so, could the aerogel be used as a heat shield on a re-entry capable space vehicle?
I was clueless, though familiar with its name, and now I know! Many thanks.
Thank you. Looking forward to more of your videos! Thank you again.

Love it thank you for making the video. I actually requested a review on aerogel on you insulation video. :)
I once handled aerogel at work. I was shocked at how light it was.
Excelent video thanks.
Wow. Great stuff. Oh, that's another compound. Love your videos.
While I understand why silicon should be non-toxic for humans and land-living life, I do wonder what harm it might do to water-based life: fish, corals, plankton, ...
I used to have a tennis racquet called Dunlop Aerogel 300. Dont know whether it had an actual aerogel in it though or
whether it was just marketing!
I would like to hear about those Aerogel bricks.
It would be interesting to see what you could come up with regarding High Fidelity. The cone materials used vary widley as do the marketing explanations of their virtues :-)
Fascinating! Well done!
Great video. How do you glue aerogel to stuff?
I tried water glass (sodium silicate) as a high temp glue, but my cheap aerogel textile was repellant to the glue...
I would look towards the shoe industry since they obviously glue theirs in.
I would like to see a video on the affects of aerogel and concrete. Could it make cement an insulation? And will it make cement stronger?
Very interesting Thanks
Very interesting presentation, thank you!

Hello Belinda, thanks a lot for the great explaination. Would you be able to advice where I can buy aerogel for insulation? thanks
Can you explain pro and cons of A frame house? I wonder how it's cost effective with usable area.
I’m really curious what you think of products like Aerotherm
