High Bridge Pottery Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Do you think we could start seeing kilns with aerogel insulation in the future? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Fireborn Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 interesting read! if that picture has anything to do with how good it insulates then maybe. looks cool either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Bridge Pottery Posted August 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Don't think I read it too well. It does say Aerogels are poor radiative insulators because infrared radiation (which transfers heat) passes right through silica aerogel. Maybe a bad idea. I don't really know. Maybe a layer behind some ifb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Coyle Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I kind of doubt if it would hold up for many heat/cool cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPMpottery Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It would be neat to have a see through kiln. Do you think we could start seeing kilns with aerogel insulation in the future? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
