Materials

  • Two plastic bottles: one larger, one smaller. (I used a 2 liter bottle and a 34-oz bottle).
  • A sheet of aluminum foil about 24 inches long.
  • Expanding insulation foam, such as the kind used to seal cracks around windows and doors. (Warning: this is messy stuff.)
  • (You might be able to substitute finely-chopped styrofoam packing peanunts; I haven't tried.)

Tools used:

  • Razor saw, or a similar fine-toothed saw.
  • X-acto knife or other sharp knife.
  • Scissors.
  • Plenty of rags and newspapers to contain the mess.
  • Gloves, goggles, and other protective equipment

Why does the outer walls of thermos flask made shining?

The outer walls of a thermos flask are often made shiny for aesthetic purposes, making the flask look more appealing. Additionally, the shiny surface can help with heat reflection, reducing heat transfer between the flask and its surroundings, thus improving the overall insulation properties of the thermos.


Why do the inner surface of thermos flask kept shiny?

The shiny inner surface of a thermos flask helps to reflect heat back into the flask, reducing heat transfer to or from the contents. This helps to maintain the temperature of the liquid inside the flask for a longer period of time.

Vacuum is mantained in thermos flask?

A vacuum is maintained in a thermos flask in order to prevent heat transfer by conduction and convection. The absence of air molecules in the vacuum reduces the amount of heat that can be transferred through these processes, helping to keep the contents of the flask hot or cold for longer periods of time.
