Mind blown. Cooling by as much as 40C below ambient temperature in dry climates. Allows emission in infrared rays.

Thoughts?

A heat transducer....? I have no idea what to call it, but its cool that it can exploit lowering resistance to heat loss by selective radiation. A reverse selective absorber like solar thermal absorbers.

Always cool when a materials arrangement can do work without moving parts. High technology if it is practical and works.

Country oriented nerd with primary interests in alternate energy in particular solar. Dabble in gardening, trees, cob, soil building and a host of others.

Cats say "meow" because they think that is what people sound like. This tiny ad told me so:
