I Waterproofed Myself With Aerogel!

Aerogel has extraordinary properties but it can be tough to work with. This video looks at modifying aerogels to take advantage of their unique characteristics.

Huge thanks to Dr. Stephen Steiner and the crew at Aerogel Technologies. To find out more or buy your own aerogel sample, check out: www.aerogeltechnologies.com/
Thanks to Dr. Steven Jones and Dr. Mihail Petkov at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
And thanks to FLIR for loaning us the awesome high definition thermal camera. The footage is amazing! www.flir.com
Aerogel’s extraordinary properties are due in large part to its structure. Aerogel is a solid but on the nanoscale it has a mesh or sponge-like structure. The struts of this structure are nanoscale, as are the pores at around 20nm across. This makes silica aerogel incredibly light (it was once the lightest solid but has now been superseded by graphene aerogel), transparent and adsorbent.
An ice-cube sized piece of aerogel has an internal surface area roughly equal to half a football field. Aerogel is used in high end museum cases to regulate humidity. Plus it helps maintain the vacuum on the Mars Insight seismometers - it adsorbs moisture and other outgassed volatiles that come from the spacecraft itself. Proposed uses include as a physical insecticide by ‘drying out insects’ reducing the need for chemical and toxic pesticides.

    The way that the hydrophobic effect works confused me for a while but when you understand it it's honestly quite simple. At least when you're looking at it from the perspective of thermodinamycs, considering the gibs free energy change, enthalpy decrease and entropy increase in the water.

    Yeah, what he said Yes, if you just got wet, water was gonna sit there, but leave that wet area of your skin alone and you will dry. That's because your skin absorbed the water, but sometimes I like to think that it could had evaporated, because I have a hard time believing my skin is eating what I leave on it

    Back in the 70-80's a man invented a substance called Starlite. Thermally, it out-performed equivalent materials. Because it's inventor was so apprehensive about reveling Starlites composition, he took his formula to the grave. In 2018 a youtuber, attempting to recreate Starlite and came very close to doing so by using only flour, sugar borax and cornstarch. I attempted this myself and was surprised to find it actually worked! Once mixed, it can be formed and it hardens as it drys.

    I used aerogel in my research lab to insulate liquid nitrogen lines and it was insane how well it worked. The downside is all the flakes that are created when cutting it and putting it on. If you don’t wear gloves, your hands will get so dry that it becomes easy to damage the skin.

    @ChaiSpicedD The thing is: Insulation and water repelling works both ways. So the body heat and sweat of the fireman can also become a problem. That being said, I could imagine that those kind of suits can be used for short durations in extreme situations. Most likely not with a wet gel, but a composite of aerogel and fiber, as the paste could fall off and some composites are already quite flexible. But, all of that is more like an idea for the far future. Right now these aerogels are quite expensive to produce and mostly labscale and rarely in industrial use (NASA, Mars Rover and such).
