How Does Thermal Imaging Work? (The Short Answer) Thermal imaging operates on a simple yet effective principle: all objects emit infrared energy as a function of their temperature. This form of energy, invisible to the human eye, can be detected and translated into a visual image by a therm...
and the heat sink, ensuring better contact and maximizing heat transfer. without thermal compounds, air pockets could form, leading to poor heat dissipation and potential overheating issues. how does thermal compound work? thermal compounds contain conductive materials, such as metal particles or ...
You need to work your way around the entire building looking at every door, wall, window, roof, and other potential source of heat loss in turn. How much loft (attic) insulation do you have and could you do with some more? Is your home suitable for cavity-wall insulation and have you...
If you want to kill the thermal performance of your insulation, you can take your pick of several excellent ways to do so. Of course, you could just not install insulation. (It happens, even in new construction.) You also couldinstall the insulation unevenly. Or you could interrupt the in...
A common variation is the ventilated Trombe wall, which supplements the natural conduction of the thermal mass with vent-facilitated convection. Vents are placed at the top and bottom of the space between the glass panel and masonry wall. As the air in this space is heated, it rises into ...
When drying, these gels behave much as Jell-O does. They break down into a gooey, messy blob because the liquid in the hydrogel evaporates too quickly for the substance to retain its shape. With each molecule that seeps out, others try to fill the gaps. This causes what's known as ...
(See How does a GFCI outlet work? for details). What happens to a hair dryer if you drop it in water when it's not plugged in? You don't run the risk of electrocution, since there's no source of current, but you can certainly damage the hair dryer if all of its components get...
How does a passive house work? The standard is built on a set of five principles that ensure stable temperatures, comfortable indoor air, reduction of noise and a minimal energy use: No thermal bridging– this means making sure walls, floors and roofs are well insulated with no gaps. This...

What your nose actually does is called heat exchange (or, more technically, regeneration): outgoing air warms your nasal passages as it leaves; cool incoming air picks up some of that same heat energy on its way into your lungs. As a result, the air you breathe in is warmer than it ...
