This was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - did you actually request it? Sounds like snake oil to me, so I'm curious if they sent it unsolicited... They only brag about it being used in a few places here and there, and they say two studies were done, but I only found one from Texas A&M. They throw around some numbers and equations, but there's not a lot of hard experimental data. Down a ways, under '4 Conclusions' they say that this whole study was a simulation. Not that a simulation can't be a good approximation, but it's no substitute when it's the only thing you have. At least for something that should be fairly straightforward to test in the real world. I'm not impressed. The thing is, it sounds like a good idea. Something that will reflect heat in one direction only and you can reverse it depending on what you need. Sounds like a good, efficient solution that doesn't require high tech manufacturing. But I'm very suspicious of this company - it just doesn't smell right.
