#Weatherizing

Weather is going to happen. The most you can do is prepare as much as you can for the worst and hope for the best. Our town's infrastructure is old and our area in general does not typically get these types of storms. There's a high probability that we will be without water from the city. Here are other tasks I completed to prepare: *Filled the cars with gas *Covered all spigots - if you don't have the fancy covers, wrap them with rags and a plastic bag and seal with tape. If the spigot is coming straight up from the ground, cover with a bucket. *Make sure all your rechargeable batteries are charged. *Drip your faucet with a steady stream. Drops will not be enough. Water movement prevents full freezing of pipes. *Open cabinet doors under sinks/faucets. *Have candles and lighters in each room used. *Close doors to rooms not in use. *Apply towels to the base of exterior doors to block drafts. *Deep water plants or relocate them indoors. What have I missed? Let me know in the comments. #winterstorm #ice #weatherizing #winterprep

This insulation has been such an incredible product to work with! @havelock_wool has made insulating our forever home a great experience! • No dust masks or gloves required for installation • The wool does not mold • It’s fire resistant, and only smolders instead of flaming • higher R value compared to fiberglass #havelockwool #woolinsulation #build #construction #offgrid

🔥 When Endeavour reentered Earth’s atmosphere, its skin was not metal, it was covered in 24000 plus thermal protection tiles designed to survive the extreme heat of reentry. 🌍 As the orbiter plummeted at Mach 25, friction with the atmosphere created plasma around the shuttle, with temperatures exceeding 1500°C (2732°F). Aluminum, which makes up much of the shuttle’s structure, melts at only 660°C, so NASA engineered a unique shield. 🧱 Each tile was made of reinforced silica fibers (essentially pure sand), 94 percent air by volume, giving it incredible insulating ability. You could heat one side of a tile red hot with a torch and still touch the other side safely with your hand. 🔹 Black tiles (LI 900 silica coated with borosilicate glass) protected the shuttle’s belly, absorbing and radiating heat away. 🔹 White tiles and flexible felt blankets covered less extreme areas, reflecting solar heat while still insulating. 🔹 No two tiles were alike, every single one was custom shaped to fit its spot on the orbiter. ⚡ The system worked like a thermal sponge, absorbing intense heat at the surface but preventing it from ever reaching the aluminum airframe. Without these tiles, Endeavour and every Space Shuttle could never have returned safely from space.

With residential heating accounting for 33% of all energy consumption in Vermont, weatherizing homes to improve their energy efficiency is key to the state cutting greenhouse gas emissions — and saving people money. That work begins with an energy audit. Tap the link in our bio for more. Video by Holt Albee.

Leidenfrost Effect: The Secret to Non-Stick Stainless Steel 🔬 Does your food stick to your stainless steel pan? The secret to avoiding it is the Leidenfrost effect - but you need the RIGHT temperature! 🧪 The Water Test: When water droplets dance and glide freely on your pan, it's hot enough. Here's what happens at different temps: • 175°C: Water just evaporates - too low • 200°C: Mostly evaporates with a few beads - still too low • 225°C: Perfect! Free-flowing water islands that glide around 🎯 The Magic Temperature: 225°C At around 220°C, the Leidenfrost effect kicks in. But we set it to 225°C to have a little wiggle room: • Food creates a steam layer underneath itself • This steam barrier prevents sticking to the steel pan • Oil shows dimples, motion, and simmering - your visual cue it's ready 🔬 The Science: The Leidenfrost effect occurs when liquid contacts a surface significantly hotter than its boiling point, creating an insulating vapor layer. For cooking, this means better non-stick performance! With traditional cooktops, hitting exactly 225°C is guesswork. With Ztove's ±1°C precision, you can nail this temperature every single time. We made the world's first hob with connected smart cookware and ± 1°C temperature control. Ztove is now available in selected stores in Europe.

Sometimes you've just gotta frolic in the snow and have a good scratch! Sliding on this ice might be too cold for us, but this polar bear—captured by photographer @roiegalitz—has a thick coat of insulating fur and a layer of fat, helping it stay warm in the harsh conditions.

Friction creates an insulating layer using hot glue. #diy #tips
