 Curious | microwave resistant heat absorbing material Hello, I am an industrial designer and I am searching for a material that will store heat when put in the microwave and will not cool down very fast. I am working on an alternative to the hot water bottle and for the moment I have been told the wheat can work. Any better ideas? Thanks Paula | |

 Resident USSRian        | Re: microwave resistant heat absorbing material this should work with some salts... I know they are using salts in a 30 Mw power plant in brazil or something to that extent. it uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight on a tower, top of which has capilaries with water that will produce steam to power the turbine, but their new 30Mw power station will have the top made of some salt that retains heat rather well.... i dont know if it would heat up in a microwave, though i doubt that it wont, then all you need is 2 conainers, some salt in the middle, close it all off, and shazaam, you got a microwaverable hot water bottle that will remain hot for hours or something like that  ---------------- And remember that great question that Pierre-Simon Laplace and Sir Isaac Newton, Andrei Markov and David Hilbert, Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi, Albert Einstein and Edmund Halley did not come to ask throughout all of their dedication and work: "Who the hell is IMing me?"

They use sodium for it's heat retention abilities. ---------------- Hypography Science Forums Moderator --- "There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth.

| Resident USSRian | Re: microwave resistant heat absorbing material thank you, freez i briefly saw a think about it on the science channel, it sound rather interesting...---------------- And remember that great question that Pierre-Simon Laplace and Sir Isaac Newton, Andrei Markov and David Hilbert, Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi, Albert Einstein and Edmund Halley did not come to ask throughout all of their dedication and work: "Who the hell is IMing me?"

| Curious | Re: microwave resistant heat absorbing material Yes you can ask and no it is not a thermos, it is a "cozier" alternative to hot water bottles, some kind of pillow that would be covered with textile, kind of pillow, so could these two container be made of a flexible material? | |

I'm not sure if salt would work. I do know that salt water will cool faster than fresh water.  ---------------- Hypography Science Forums Moderator --- "There are no passengers on Spaceship Earth.
