Homemade Thermos

RE: Homemade Thermos By paige (Guest Post) Yeah, like just get a jar and put like aluminum foil around it and then duck tape it and then put like packing peanuts or Styrofoam or like bubble rap around it. Make sure not to squeeze all that stuff in it cause that will make conduction or something happen and then you will not have a good thermos and then after that i would just put it in like a jar or like wood or something idk yet. Hope I helped ha ha. I'm doing one of those tonight for a project. Posted on 02/21/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Thermos By salma (Guest Post) I have a project with that too!

Posted on 06/10/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Thermos By julia (Guest Post) Use duct tape, aluminum and a see through container. Posted on 06/02/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Thermos By bob dylan (Guest Post) Use duct tape and bubble wrap. Heat can't transfer through. Posted on 05/28/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Thermos By julia (Guest Post) use fibre glass and then cover it! Posted on 05/27/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Homemade Thermos By (Guest Post) Aluminum foil is pretty good and white paint will help reflect the heat from the sun.

If you don't have any pieces of Styrofoam either go to an electronics store & ask them if they have any or, you can buy a piece of foam insulation for around $5 at any Home depot store. It comes in many thickness all are under $7, the thin ones are only $3... Next, cut these to the size you prefer, then glue together & *PRESTO* you have a mini ice cooler! ... If you need a lid, then carve the top foam to fit into the bottom sections.... Another idea for foam is to glue together pieces of foam board until it's the thickness you need (Dollar Tree sells sheets of it). To make you homemade cooler REALLY work, add aluminum foil to the inside & outside of the foam. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SECOND IDEA: if its not a school project, but you just need to keep things cool in the car or on a short trip whatever: You are gonna think I'm nuts... But I like to take frozen treats with me on long drives during the hot months & I use the arms cut off of wool sweaters... Put one or 2 inside of the other one & put your stuff in a bag & put it inside... To do this the right way, add 2 of those blue cooling blocks or re-freezing gel after you've put your stuff in the wool sweater sleeves, put one blue-ice thing on one side & one on the other. I've had frozen yogurt & frozen mango chunks stay frozen for several hours this way. Popcycles will stay frozen about an hour. Lastly you can wrap the sleves inside of the rest of the sweaters. (the body of the wool sweater) * The theory is: If something can keep you warm, it can also keep you cool. When I bring home frozen stuff, I'll wrap the bags up with one or 2 of my winter coats for added insulation. Posted on 04/26/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
