Let's see how much heat a single curtain rod can stop compared to no curtain rod. |
Regardless of how efficient the barrier is, without the addition of heat in the house, it will eventually come to the same temperature as outside. A house with no windows or screens will do so more quickly that a house with no windows but having screens. The time difference will be small, but it will be measurable.
Now, let's see how smart Joke really is. Is there any barrier I can make that would actually speed up the house coming to equilibrium with outside? |
I have a guess. |
Shhh. Don't tell Joke. I want to see if he can figure it out on his own. He's probably Googling at a frenetic paste as we speak trying to find the answer to this grade school level physics question. Maybe I should have asked him something at a kindergarten level instead. |
I have already answered. You should learn how to read. |
A fan? Really? Why don't you just install an air conditioner. How will that work in a power outage? So, again, can you build a passive barrier that will speed up equilibration? No moving parts, no evaporating water, no ice cubes, no need for electricity. And to make it clear, this barrier has to have the same grid dimensions as the screen, the same number of openings of equal size. |
Yes, really, a fan. And it would work.
CO2 only absorbs and emits in TWO wavelengths that are in the thermal range.
Blankets insulate through all of the wavelengths.
Clearly you are too stupid to understand how blankets work.
You can't even grasp that, Acartia. And your "challenge" is irrelevant to everything we have discussed on CO2 being a blanket. |
Joe, are you aware that some types of glass are transparent in the visible spectrum but opaque in the ultraviolet? Now imagine you had a molecule that was transparent to most wavelengths but opaque to 2 (or even one). Would a volume of that gas act as a blanket to those wavelengths? What if there was a whole lot of energy at those two wavelengths? Remember that it’s the intensity that’s important here, not how many wavelength bands.
By the way, just to be pedantic, blankets do not insulate at all wavelengths. Try blocking xrays with one and see how that works out. |
Clearly you forget the CONTEXT which is body heat. And last I checked we do not emit x-rays.
And now the goalposts are moved to "act as a blanket to those two wavelengths". And yes intensity matters. There isn't a whole lot of thermal energy at the 4.7 um wavelength. But there is more at the near 15 um wavelength. However water vapor has that spectrum partially covered already.
The intensity matters, deserts still get very cool at night and it happens rapidly. They alleged contain as much CO2 as any other area (besides the CO2 domes of metropolitan areas). I guess the CO2 emissions aren't that intense after all. |
4.3 um- not 4.7
