Scientists have invented a unique material that protects from heat

Another way to fight the heat.Mit researchers have invented a new type of window cover reflecting heat. According to scientists, about 6% of the electricity produced in the United States is used for air conditioning, but there is another way to fight against heat. It is reported 4PDA, reports the Chronicle.info with a reference to 24TB.

The developed film is transparent at ambient temperatures up to 32 degrees. But with the increase in temperature, it becomes more and more opaque. As a result, the coating reflects 70% of the sun's heat, reducing the temperature inside the building and reducing the load on the air conditioning.

For maximum effect, by blocking heat, researchers have developed a standard model of miniature spheres filled with water. If the temperature is greater than 29.4 degrees, the sphere begins to contract, compressing the liquid and turning into a bundle of fibers of composite material. This gives the glass a frosted appearance, blocks the heat and simultaneously transmits a sufficient amount of light.

Note that similar movies existed before, but they do not block the heat. And with the new development, the ambient temperature can be reduced from 39 to 34 degrees. Nevertheless, it seems that a slight drop in temperature can significantly reduce energy consumption.
