I would love to see the specs and a small sample. This could be just what I need for a thin, translucent, thermal and acoustic insulating film/layer. Can you get something to Australia?

How long before it is available to the public and at what estimated cost?

How long until I can get this as a summer ragtop for a Jeep?

The sound would eventually convert to heat anyway after bouncing around the walls of the room. It takes whole lot of kenetic energy to raise tempurature. Think of rubbing two sticks together to make a fire. The sunlight that these curtains are letting through would raise the tempurature a lot more than the converted sound energy.

Does this mean that the louder the surroundings, the warmer space will get? Might work well in winter, but could be a problem in summer. What is the ratio of conversion of the energy of the sound waves to the thermal energy? Things could become quieter but hotter. Would that require new cooling for the process…which usually makes sound, and could require more energy? Interesting concept.

Yeah, I don’t know if spammers use those nonsensical spams to test spam filters or what. Anywho, I deleted a previous spam message, if you’re curious—Matt B isn’t crazy.

That is the weirdest spam ever.
