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.aerogeltech...
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 This makes silica aerogel incredibly light (it was once the lightest solid but has now been superseded by graphene aerogel), transparent and adsorbent.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.

This is an educational, scientific video.
I'm here for the laminar flow dawg.
Not for Total Internal Reflection?
I knew you would be here XD
Lol
Please make a video on this stuff it's super interesting and I want to know more about it.
You yourself proved that laminar flow doesn't exist
"You're confident I'm not going to get hurt?"
"Not permanently."
10/10 reassuring speech
he said that to avoid a lawsuit if anything went wrong lmao
Yes
That fluttershy in your profile is creepy
Only thing that hurt was your profile pic on my eyes
*Speech 100*
Everything about the aerogel is so so trippy.
The weight
The sound it makes
Thermal isolation
Water repellent
In the video, with just aerogel itself, it is hydrophilic which means it attracts and absorbs water.
The fact so little of it has so much surface area.
Somehow I read “ everything about aerogel is so happy “ I was very confused
The fact that I want to eat it for some weird reason
Ikr
Me: **Thinking that aerogel is really soft and squishy**
Aerogel: **Makes a metallic sound**
Me: oh
first
It looks kinda tasty lmao
UHH YEAH!

Aerogel has got to be the most interesting thing I've ever seen. It's absolutely mind blowing

Some people would like that, but I’m a person who likes to feel rain on my face and feel the cool rain droplets. Of course I would definitely like this to protect my pack and the items inside from getting wet.

You can wipe it off tho
Cay9s yo really? thats cool never knew thanks bro
This video makes me realize how amazing science is. The things these scientists are able to figure out is just astonishing.
I was also wondering how that guy got all the aerogel powder off his body. Especially since it repels water. ?
*"You're confident that I'm not going to damaged?"*
*"Not permanently"*
I think the look on my face after that says 'does not compute'
nice
Scientists being scientists
So, he's not permanently confident?
Veritasium A ice cube size aerogel has a surface area similar to half the area of football field. Interesting 👍

As an aerogel developer I can't imagine how dry your skin must have been doing this. Waterproofing also means extremely oil absorbant
Really? I thought aerogel was like a spray feel.
@@dylankersten3383 well it is a fine powder but you'll feel damn dry after touching it
@@markfearns8535 Interesting.
He became human jerky
@@evaniceface The worst fate
How difficult is it to wash off? Also, is it damaging to the lungs if the dust is breathed in?
This is what I was thinking. Plus isn't this how people treated asbestos before they realized it was harmful? I'd have had some sort of mask on + goggles etc...
11:20 I think the man in the blue shirt explains this here
@@kazooersunited True, but isn't this stuff bleeding edge new? How many long term studies have they done on humans? Asbestos takes roughly 30 years for its scarring damage complications to manifest. Just saying I'm not sure I want any form of silica in my lungs.
No it’s not dangerous to breath in I’m pretty sure
@@HelpTheEggs they would phrase it as, “we have no evidence that this is dangerous to humans,” because ofc we don’t- it hasn’t had long enough to be studied. Lol.

“I waterproofed myself”
Skin: Am I a joke you you?
Peter skin absorbs water
Pores: yes
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
Hatin Life you are right, skin absorbs some of the water while some of the water evaporates.
I literally tapped on this video to find this comment
how do you wash of a waterproof substance, my brain cant handle this
Scrub it off I think. Honestly my mind is hurting because of that
Childish Lemonade probably you could use an oil based cleanser, or just straight oil like coconut oil, because oil absorbs and grabs onto things that water doesn’t.
Childish Lemonade use something that breaks it down or scrub I guess
*Yeah, This is big brain time.*
you have to use oil
Aerogel: I’m 99% air
Lays: *_Are you challenging me?_*

Air is 100% air
Lays: are you challenging me
That’s not even a joke, it’s an issue. I low-key get 5 chips max
Is it Lays fault that your fat ass buys packs by their size instead of their weight? You'd rather have fully stuffed bags with crumbled chips in it because there's no space?
Fabian Girsch Well obviously not fully stuffed but I don’t want a good half of my bag to be an air pocket and void space between chips.
They should make this for firefighters for their jackets. I know that it would be expensive, but it could very well be a life saving apparatus for them, even baby blankets, and so much more. How amazing is this structure! I'm in Awe!!
