to answer the question in the info, because aerogel, depending on what it is made of, is typically a irritant to your skin and eyes if you have prolongued exposure to it.
It's made by taking the gel and removing all the water molecules and replacing them with air, so basicaly it is a porous string of molecules. And to answer the question in the description, it's not mass produced because one square centimeter of it costs just about 150 bucks. So to fit a 12' by 12' room it would cost about 216,000.00 dollars. Neat stuff tho :D
you idiot, one pound of this stuff ,, well lets see its 1.9 mg/cm^3 so one pound = 453 592.37 mg so therefore 453 592.37/1.9= 238,732.8 cm^3 and is equal to 238.73 liters of volume, that is enough insulation for a room more then enough, in fact more then enough for many rooms, the cost of a troy ounce of gold is 946$ times 15 which is the equivelency for a pound is 14000$ around, this is very viable for the amount of energy saved in years and decades. do your research
hmmm... how should i put it... YES! you can buy it on e-bay but there is one SMALL problem... if you would have $160 then you could only afford a piece no bigger than a... ping pong ball... well i wish you luck in gathering the cash...
i still say it looks tasty. no matter how may ties i see this video it makes me hungry. i think its the music lol no other vid has this effect on me lol =D
There are several good reasons, the primary one of which is that using this as insulation could run you up in the 6 digit (if it is indeed as expensive as everyone says)for one small house probably. Also, air cools and it would still need to be circulated through the house, thus a candle would never work to heat a room.
Yea, its not frozen Smoke. It just a nickname for aerogel, because it looks like it. More secifically its called blue smoke. But infact it is made the same as most gel's but the environment needs to be extremely controled.
I agree, this is a vicious circle. Isnt cheap because inst mass produced and isnt mass produced because isnt cheap enough.If industry starts to use this stuff, the prince will drop.
I'm finding it very hard to masturbate to this video.

Because it is fragile, water completely destroys it, and it would be incredibly expensive to outfit a house with it

@adrastea99 Water doesn't destroy it so long as it has been properly chemically treated to be hydrophobic.

couldn't we make toughened aerogel, in the same way we make toughened glass, therefore increasing it's resistance to tensile forces.

Aspen Aerogel, they are making it tougher now. This will be an excellent product in the future with so many different uses.

"Why is it not used to insulate rooms?"
There are several good reasons, the primary one of which is that using this as insulation could run you up in the 6 digit (if it is indeed as expensive as everyone says)for one small house probably. Also, air cools and it would still need to be circulated through the house, thus a candle would never work to heat a room.
