Description: Aerogel have an extremely low thermal-conductivity and a low mass-density. Although Aerogels are expensive, it is possible that we could make it ourselves.
The objective of this task is to produce home-made aerogel by a procedure such as this one.
Ideally, the end-product should be 'blocks' of aerogel that will allow us to cut nice panels of the material, rather than granular pieces.
Once finished, the thermal properties of the produced aerogel should be determined, but the team will assist with this.
Warning
- This task is dangerous and working on it might harm you -- any work is done at your own risk!!!
Comments
- I find it hard to believe that we could make aerogels cheaper than industry. The study should be - where would we like to use aerogels. I would not suggest that people try to make aerogels at home if we really need them for this mission. A paper study of the topic is more appropriate. --Sean Casey 06:27, 12 August 2009 (EDT)
- Of course Neeme Vaino has experience in aerogels. -- Jdp 12:30, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- I have some examples of home made aerogel made by Neeme Vaino. It can be used in the build phase. Best, --Tristancho 16:30, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
