Impossibly thin fabric could cool you down by 16-plus degrees
Impossibly thin fabric could cool you down by 16-plus degrees
I admit I didn't read the article throughly, but surely if it's impossiblely thin it can't exist. I only bring this up because I'm an obnoxious pedant.
i just read the title and it sounds like it will freeze people to death
I would require a wet T shirt contest to really see and compare.
Same. Guess I won't bother looking into it if it's impossible 🤷♀️
"This is thin."
"Impossibly thin!"
"No... I'm pretty sure it's possible considering we are holding it right this very second."
Made of plastic... Just what we need!
If we can recycle single use plastic into this, then great. Somehow I doubt that’s how it would be made.
Disagree. Even if we could, from what I understand, large, solid pieces of plastic are better than extremely small, thin, fragile pieces since those are going to turn into microplastics and get everywhere. I'd rather have them in one big chunk.
If we can recycle single use plastic into this, then great.
They won't - they'll just use "Recycling!" as a pretext to continue business as usual... which was the whole point of "Recycling!" in the first place.
Actual degrees or American fantasy units?
I mean, I get it that Fahrenheit is stupid, but this is an American publication.
Nighthawkinlight just released a video on a material that accomplishes this that you could make at home.
So different thickness materials can actually cool you off just from a heat transfer perspective, completely ignoring the PCM capabilities (I didn’t click your link I’m just assuming it’s his latest vid). https://www.thermal-engineering.org/what-is-critical-thickness-of-insulation-critical-radius-definition/
So wearing a thin tshirt in cold weather for example can actually be colder than wearing no shirt at all. Same in reverse. I’m wondering if this material is doing that rather than being some sort of PCM.
A good stop-gap while cities de-car-ify and rebuild green space.
Don't need to decarify to rebuild green spaces.
Green space was overwhelmingly removed for car space
What are examples of “broadband emitter “ fabrics that I can buy? The only links I can find are for this article.
Nighthawk in light shows how to make your own on YouTube. He has lots of videos about stuff like this. Someone else in the comments linked one of his vids.

In all serious though I don’t think that term has ever been used outside of articles for this research
It’s going to need to be like 40F cooler pretty soon here.
