      Hey I always wanted to know this but I don't think anyone has tried to investigate a little further. Do you think it could be possible to make a balloon off of the lightest metal and make it float with the lightest gas (which would be hydrogen). ChatGPT kinda says it's possible, but who on Earth would try that, right?

    The Frasnel effect could be another reason that could be causing some extra light reflection at certain angles. It can happen on any object or surface. Basically the larger the angle that light bounces off of an object, the more is reflected. This is why water appears less reflective when looking straight down at it vs a more parallel viewing angle.

    • @XevianLight
      @XevianLight 10 месяцев назад +28

      The fresnel effect is also why concrete can appear reflective at extreme angles, such as near the horizon on a long road. Basically, more surface is covered by the same area of the view due to the angle.

      So like It'd be easier to grab onto a surface that's more horizontal and not vertical? Like on a surface angled less than 45° you'd be rolling down, but more than 45° is falling against a plane. 45° exactly could be either, neither, or one of them.

    That shot at 4:40 was incredibly helpful. This sort of material would be very ideal for telescope and astronomy applications where light absorption to stop reflections is really important. Telescopes tubes are lined and coated with anti reflective paint and flocking. Off axis light is a real problem and a material light this would be help, but it seems it would actually potentially cause more issues!

      i'm pretty sure the fabric is hydrophobic, so you would see the countless water droplets rolling down but the fabric itself wouldnt change color

    • @TheZotmeister
      @TheZotmeister 10 месяцев назад

      The fabric is actually rather absorbent - all the fine fibers trap water pretty well. When wet, it still looks black, but not _as_ black, since the wetness itself is reflective. (Exception: if you're holding the fabric up to a light source right behind it, the wet part will be the darkest, since it's the only part one can't see through the weave.) Getting it wet gives it quite the curl and I really don't recommend trying it beyond a tiny scrap piece. (Speaking from personal experience here.)

    I remember reading a couple test results on the most visible car in like the 1970's and they came out with somewhere in the bright yellow or orange. I think one article was in Popular Science or Popular Machanics magazines. At least at night, this would have to be the least visible. Wonder how long befor we see car chases in LA with get a way cars like this one. I think it could backfire on them, the helicopter's lights lighting everything around it, showing a black blob in the center. How would that work on like a sub?

    In magic, “black art” refers to using the black color to “camouflage” something. It’s useful for a variety of magic tricks. We should try to produce or vanish a car with this material! First, we need a curtain made of Kiwami (or a flock sheet)!

    Can you describe the material's other properties? I read that it's "dusty" and the pile flakes off. I'd like to use it on a wall, but I'm afraid that it will show pet hair like crazy and that maybe the fibres would be unhealthy to breathe if they are floating around. I'd appreciate learning your experience with handling it.

    The difference between 80% and 99% light absorbed could make a big difference in the heat absorbed. Are there different particles of light the flat black don't absorb that the Musou black would absorb and increase the out put of a solar heater?

    • @gregorymurray8111
      @gregorymurray8111 10 месяцев назад

      Heat is from Infrared radiation. I’d have to go look and see what this fabric absorbs, but The Balckest Market (the manufacturer) makes a distinction between their earlier version of the fabric. I bought the VL flock sheet which he mentions earlier, and it absorbs visible light. But then they also have the IR flock sheet which is designed to also absorb infrared. It’s very possible that this fabric in the video absorbs no more infrared than other normal black paint. So if that’s the case, it wouldn’t heat up any more than any other black car. It’d be neat to see him use an IR camera in the videos.

      Of course. Radar is radio based, so the amount of light this fabric can absorb doesn't matter. Stuff made to not be radar detectable uses materials which absorb radiation regardless of color.

      Sub ambient cooling paint would be better for that. That paint emitts IR radiation in a frequency that passes through the atmosphere unhindered and that way it can cool a surface below ambient temperature.

    How much heat would that absorb? I mean: we already have the most radiant paint that radiates heat into space with a wavelength that's not absorbed by CO2.
    having one piece of radiant paint and one piece of absorbing paint means a very active absorbing and evection of heat. Put the black on a heatsink inside the house and thermally connect that heatsink to the radiant painted heatsink outside on the roof. Low density hot water pumps the hot water to the roof and the cooled down denser water will sink to your black wall or ceiling. If you thermally insulate the radiant part with material that let's through the radiation, this will pump out heat of the house no matter how hot it is outside compared to the inside.
