You can buy thermal gloves in bulk at most industrial suppliers, including Uline and Grainger Industrial Supply in North America. They come in a variety of sizes, and discounts are available for buying in larger quantities.
When they are in thermal contact and their temperatures are the same there is no NET flow of energy. If the objects are both thermally insulated there will be no flow of energy at all.
You heat the water in the boiler chamber to produce the steam. The steam under pressure rotates the blades of turbine. You have a shaft attached to the turbine. You have the coils of insulated wires wound around the shaft. This shaft rotates between the powerful magnets to give you electrical energy, through the insulated wire.
Therma losses are heat losses, or losses of heat energy. Just one example is the idea of thermal loss through windows in a structure. Walls can be insulated, but heat energy can pass readily through ordinary window glass. On a cold day, there are a lot of thermal losses from a structure through regular glass windows.
An insulator inhibits the flow of energy from one place to another. So you have electrical insulators around wires, recording studios are sound insulated, and your overcoat is a thermal insulator.
a thermal cup is an insulated drinking vessel.
Consider what the hazard is that you are trying to protect the hands from- Heat? Thermal gloves (think welder, blacksmith) EXTREME heat? Insulated, reflecting gloves (molten metal worker) Chemicals? SEVERAL different impermeable gloves- depending on WHICH chemical. Radiation? Yes, shielded gloves Electrical? Insulating gloves. Cuts? Anything from leather gloves to Kevlar. Punctures? Armored glove (barbed wire handler) Amputations from cutting tools? Metal chain mail gloves (circle knife fabric cutters, meat cutters) Bio-hazard? Latex or poly gloves (paramedic) Extreme cold? Insulated gloves (cryogenic gasses) Extreme physical trauma? We use padded, Kevlar gloves as part of a blast/fragmentation suit when performing bomb disposal- just in case.
