- savrajsingh 19y agodoes anyone know where I can buy some aerogel to play with it? :)
- nickb 19y agoYou can buy some here: http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~aerogel/outreach.html http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~aerogel/outreach.html For only $25. But, they have pretty long waiting lines so contact them early.
- mhb 19y agohttp://www.unitednuclear.com/aerogel.htm http://www.unitednuclear.com/aerogel.htm But currently out of stock. They have plenty of other stuff you're going to want, too.
- stuki 19y agoDoes this almost weightless material really 'negate' acoustical energy transfer, as mentioned in this link? Considering the current cost and engineering effort required to build an upper floor recording studio with decent drummer insulation....... Sounds like startup material to me.
- ed 19y agoHasn't this stuff been around for a while?
- mhb 19y ago"The heating has improved significantly. I turned the thermostat down five degrees. It's been a remarkable transformation," he said. Wow. Really good insulation can make 65 feel like 70.
- brlewis 19y agoI think the way it works is that really good insulation makes the temperature more uniform. With poor insulation, it may be 65 at the thermostat, but only 60 near an exterior wall.
