It was found ( by the thermos company ) that a vacuum will preserve the temperature whether hot or cold of a substance 10 times better than Styrofoam.
The devised a way to make a double walled container and sucked all the air out of the area between the walls to create a vacuum.
This innovation put Thermos at the top, and kep many a cup of coffee warm for much longer than was previously possible.
A thermos flask has an inner compartment, which can be used to store drinks, soups etc, and an outer 'skin,' which protects the thermos from damage. The space between the inner compartment and the outer skin has the air removed to form a vacuum, this helps to prevent the loss of heat (or cold) from the inner compartment by providing an insulating layer between it and the outer 'skin.'

Why does a thermos have a vacuum seal?
It has a Vacuum seal mainly to get rid of the air that has already entered the thermos.
Is a thermos good after 20 years?
Can be, if the vacuum is good. In glass thermos if the glass is not broken it is okay. In steel thermos if the vacuum has not been lost it will be. You can test a steel thermos by simply filling it with boiling water, if the outside of the thermos becomes hot the vacuum has been lost and one will need a new thermos.
What keeps a thermos at the same high temperature with out it cooling?
the thermos bottle's walls are double, with vacuum between. And vacuum is the best insulator we know.
What is the other name for a vacuum flask?
A Thermos.
How do thermos work?
A thermos works with principle of Physics that vacuum is a pure insulator of heat. Thermos is made of two containers separated by a vacuum space which acts as an insulator of heat. Also the surface of thermos will be glassy which in turn helps in reduction of heat loss.
Vacuum is mantained in thermos flask?
The vacuum reduce heat loss by conduction and convection.
What is another word for a vacuum bottle?
Found it myself; the answer is thermos.
How do you insulated thermos?
Um......your question is worded oddly, but the way an thermos is insulated is by having a vacuum between it's two flasks. The vacuum causes heat transfer to reduce greatly.
How do you spell thermus?
The spelling is "thermos" (still a trademark name Thermos), a vacuum-insulated flask.
The presence of -------------- in a thermos flask keeps the substances either hot or cold?
A vacuum is the answer.
Is a glass vacuum thermos vacuum better than a stainless steel vacuum?
Theoretically yes because glass is a poorer thermal conductor than steel.
What do you call the object that keeps water hot for hours?
Thermos flask or vacuum flask.
