This sounds like the beginning of a terrible accident.

or an amazing accomplishment.

 

[Chase]

And yeah, thermal conductivity. What I got was actually something else entirely -- woven fiber 'coated' in silica aerogel for insulation.

 

[Victorique]

Thats actually pretty neat

 

[Eugene]

Now I want to test it too

 

[Chase]

What I did end up doing with it was use it as a cup holder -- kept my beverages cool for hours.

 

[Eugene]

an aerogel thermos

 

[Victorique]

One awesome cupholder

 

[Morgan]

An an adventure that ends with cool beverages, this is a good story.

 

[Eugene]

What kind of fabric was the substrate?

 

[Eugene]

I still want a blowtorch test

 

[Victorique]

They should make aerogel thermoses. You could see your drink. It'd be cool!

 

[Chase]

It was white fiberglass

i love that @Morgan was expecting a disaster and instead it ended with @Chase accidentally making himself a super effective coozie
