"Without any insulation for the nonradiative heat gain, the cooling power of the radiator is limited. In most of the experimental demonstrations, the radiators were insulated by polystyrene foam to suppress the conductive heat gain from the back surface and side walls and highly IR transparent...

came across a thread talking about the use of polymethyl methacrylate in a sort of plexiglass or lexan. Gonna be doing a deeper dive into that ill link articles as I read them.

just attached some pictures I'm working on how to use CAD right now I can upload some designs later on in the week!

I actually fish everyday cant say I have ever thought about it for that application. You can start off with an overhand to keep the tension and pretty much tie whatever you need after. "if you cant tie a knot tie a lot" really does work in most applications outside of fishing. Your best bet is...

Thank you! Hoping to learn a lot, I dropped out of college to run a business but now I have been diving back into science/physics for practical means and curiosity.

"But if we help you, you won't be able to patent it without naming us all as co-inventors... :wink:" Haha any help I can get would get a huge shoutout if this thing kicks off! So far what I understand the layer between the radiative paint just needs to allow IR passthrough. The cold air at the...

Came across this forum wanted to state first I have no background in physics but have been reading through a lot of these articles and would like to learn more. I just posted a thread on a question I had about materials that passthrough IR. Looking forward to seeing more posts with individuals...

Trying to create a version of mass producible radiative cooling panels At first I want to start off with something able to be created at home relatively cheaply as I dive further in I will start trying to find more durable materials with the same capabilities In order for the system to work the...
