This is the rigid foam panels (R=1.23) that new houses are lined with for insulation. It also comes in spray-foam varieties but R=0.93-1.1 . Due to cost, we went with polystyrene rigid foam (R=0.88-0.95) for the lid and spray foam (practicality and it fills all gaps).<\/p>\n<p>Aluminum foil wraps nicely and stops electro-magnetic radiation before it can get to the foam. The foam and polystyrene boards do the rest limiting air movement (convection) and slowing conduction (it is hard for heat to travel through the foam due to the bubbles). The outer cover protects the foam and interesting duct tape was used to do this and integrate a handle into the design.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\"

alt=\"\" width=\"64\" height=\"99\" \/>Using a glass jar would make sure it can be easily cleaned and it already comes with a lid. Most expensive thermoses are made of glass on the inside.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that is important is that polystyrene and polyurethane will &#8220;melt&#8221; if the wrong kind of glue is used. We used glue that said it was compatible with polystyrene and polyurethane.<\/p>\n<h3>Construction &amp; Design:<\/h3>\n<p>A good container to use was the glass Taster&#8217;s Choice instant coffee <!--more-->jar. The lid is square and therefore cannot &#8220;slip&#8221; when a lid is glued to it.\u00a0 A glass container can hold all sorts of liquid with minimal damage and easy cleaning for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>To stop the radiation heat transfer, tinfoil was wrapped around the jar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/elbsolutions.com\/solarpower\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9869.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-744\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-744\" src=\"http:\/\/elbsolutions.com\/solarpower\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9869-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_9869\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/elbsolutions.com\/solarpower\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9869-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/elbsolutions.com\/solarpower\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9869-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/elbsolutions.com\/solarpower\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_9869-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Heat from the contents will conduct through the glass and easily through the tin foil, but is immediately slowed down by the final insulative layers. Looking at insulative properties of materials (the R value) the higher the R value, the better. The most practical material at the top of the list is polyurethane. This is the same material used in insulating houses. A squarish hole can be cut to match the lid of the coffee container quite easily. Using 2 layers of this glued together keeps the heat loss out of the top to a minimum. Heat rises, so there could be a lot of heat loss.<\/p>\n<p>Next, the sides were done a little oddly. Using parchment paper wrapped around a large tomato juice can gave a form in which to place the foil-wrapped jar and then we would fill the void with squeeze-foam used to seal holes for drafts.
