Burning aerogel

[surya5602]

hey thats not aerogel....and here tat gasoline burns n not the aerogel.....

[severuxtrololo]

fake and gay

[RyanJohnstify1998]

All you fags saying fake or gay, it doesn't burn / melt till 2,200°F

[pimbilibom]

@RyanJohnstify1998 the gasoline is burning, not the aerogel

@RyanJohnstify1998 Please read the description before posting.

That aint aerogel

[keoni29]

Huh? It conducts heat very poorly and I have seen it being exposed to extreme temperatures several times. You light it with a match? Lol this cannot be real .___.

[pimbilibom]

@keoni29 it was soaked in gasoline. it says in video, why it burns. when gas burns off, the material remains.

[keoni29]

@pimbilibom Lol I only looked at a few sec of footage and the title. The title is misleading.

[alanunderwood]

@Renda1984: Honestly, I think that might be the first time I've ever seen _anybody apologize for something they said on the internet.... much less admit that they were wrong. You're an amazing person! :-)

Seriously.

[Vulturu]

@Renda1984 aerogel was NOT in vented by nasa, it was invented by Samuel Stephens Kistler 30 years before nasa even existed...

[MrVrexor]

@Renda1984 It was the japanese that invented areogel in the 30¨s :/

[Vulturu]

@MrVrexor Samuel Stephens Kistler was not japanese

[MrVrexor]

@Vulturu Still invented by japan!

[Vulturu]

@MrVrexor are you a troll or something? if not, explain...

[MrVrexor]

@Vulturu no, im god!

[cdoftx]

fake

[NSlasher]

@cdoftx troll

[4515jonny]

How long it will burn anyway? This could be a new light or heat source!

[pimbilibom]

@4515jonny what are you smoking guy? the gasoline was from previous video. this is the indication of gas in the gel. very showing indeed, eh!

[4515jonny]

@pimbilibom uhh no if your house is out of power or theres no heating

[XDipwnXDownage]

@Renda1984 wow, u r a really rare nice person. like the opposite of a troll or something

[Ringwaul]

@Renda1984 With someone like this... maybe there is hope for youtube commenters yet...

[HolyGK]

@Renda1984 haha fail

[pimbilibom]

@Renda1984 yes it is a 3L chamber with heater and pressure/temperature control, +exhaust condensor.

Works at 250°C and 50bar. Tested with CO2 at 100 bar too.

[pimbilibom]

@Renda1984 *could not identify equipment* sorry what you mean? all the items are homemade.

[pimbilibom]

@Renda1984 Hehe, you are among the few people who reread their comments ;) True, the material is a wonder. if you make it waterproof, it soaks in fuel. Lipophilic vs hydrophilic. You can turn on and off hydrophility by surface treatment. My aerogel was surface propylated to make it lipophilic, after heating to some 300°C it turns hydrophilic.

[pimbilibom]

Aerogel is one proposed material for cleaning oil spill. Yes it is destroyed by wetting but it is very efficient by weight ratio adsorbent. IT IS aerogel, see my other videos with laser - no other material is known having this low refraction index (laser beam is bent very little at the surface) so consider it proven.

[drunyon88]

one time i drinking too many gasoline and i burn too!

[fillepus]

whats the song name????? please answer.

im begging you.

[pimbilibom]

@fillepus the song is storm by alexander perls 

[upbeatanime]

step one to making the worlds must compact, must light weight, must expensive survival kit.

[peeweedarkarrow]

i know you can eat aerogel but whats it taste like

[pimbilibom]

it tastes like dry sand

[Capeau]

@pimbilibom

yummy

[ChicaWolverina]

I keep thinking that aerogel is to ceramic what balsa is to oak in a way, but how can you cut aerogel?

[pimbilibom]

@ChicaWolverina cutting is very tricky. AG is very fragile. some report high speed diamond tools give good result. some cut hydrophobic AG with water jet. I do not cut AG but try to poor right shape from solution.

[samn100]

@mikemis i guess that question was answered lol

[DrJowenz]

this is hydrophobic, so the other type acts somehow differently???

[davidimweb]

That is not posible Aerogel never burns

[pimbilibom]

it was soaked in gasoline and water mix, to demonstrate selective absorbency of surface moderated aerogel: it absorbs oil only, not water. To prove oil presence in aerogel it is ignited.

[samn100]

TELL ME THE SONG PLEASE

[pimbilibom]

@samn100 if you find out how to identify the track from my own video, then i will tell you what it is. i set it from "audio swap" and it does not tell me what track it was. Ask YouTube help desk for that and tell me too!

[samn100]

@pimbilibom ok

[bobobobobobobo091]

@pimbilibom according to the video description at the bottom it says Various Artists - Storm (Short Edit)

[112251919112]

@pimbilibom Alexander Perls - Storm (Short Edit)

[TheCatchyName]

@samn100

@pimbilibom

The song is called Alexander Perls - Storm .

[samn100]

@TheCatchyName yay thanks

[jayloganyt]

@samn100

'Storm' by Alexander Perls.

[ScientiaVeritasEtLux]

why did it look like it was melting/shrinking? isn't it supposed to have a very high heat capacity?

[pimbilibom]

You are right, it is shrinking because of capillary forces while the volume of liquid is decreasing due to evaporation. If you want it not to shrink, you need to remove the liquid supercritically. See my other shows for how it is done. Aerogel has very little heat capacity but tremendous insulating properties. Exceptionally expensive material affordable only for space applications and nuclear physics.

[highvoltagefeathers]

@ScientiaVeritasEtLux it had soaked up gasoline, swelling in size. which is why its burning in the first place, and shrinking.

[walleigh]

I feel like it wouldn't be a good thing to breathe those fumes...

[Yakflyr]

@walleigh aerogel is just a large amount of air and a very small amount of silica.

The same stuff you walk on every day and that is used to make glass.
