Title: Lightweight Shelter
Post by: foki on September 17, 2016, 08:33:23 PM: We manufacture a lightweight / durable shelter made from 70D ripstop nylon.
It's very simple, has tie-off points around the perimeter and center, and is 100% waterproof.
Very affordably priced also, I might add!

JM, you could use contact cement or a seperate sheet of radiant barrier. below isn't my favorite but a suggestion.

This is very interesting - have you used it and tested it? I'm curious how durable it is and if it could be sandwiched between two layers of ripstop?? Also curious if it is better than the mylar stuff we have...

Post by: Kbop on September 19, 2016, 01:05:51 PM: the main trick is to use two layers of IR reflective material.
one facing the heat source and one facing the IR sensor.
-
the use of radiant heat barrier has been tested - not by me for this CONOP. it has the two layers. The durability is based on the material it is bonded to. The radiant heat barrier material is much tougher than the typical space blanket.

I used to play a celtic harp outdoors at various events- if the instrument changed temperature much it needed tuning again. i used a brand name tarp - ripstop with mylar laminated to it. it worked inside my car (windows cracked and parked in the shade when available) and at the venue. that's what caused me to look into the radiant heat material - it insulates from both sides. same idea is used in some insulated grocery bags.

Post by: foki on September 19, 2016, 04:34:56 PM: Yes, we would always do 2 layers of thermal material.

Very interesting. I'll look into this further - might be a great material option for a new thermal Lightweight Shelter product :)

Yes it just might. Just might indeed.
