[@averyalexander2303]

@@Basics_of_Gameology Never heard that before. Can you cite any laws regulating the exterior color of cars? It seems to me that the regulatory response to ensuring parked cars are visible is to require that headlights and taillights have reflectors built in and requiring parking lights and/or flashers in certain situations rather than regulating the color of the paint.

It kind of reminds me of 3D models before the lighting is implemented, or even some video games with older graphics. Kinda surreal to look at with other stuff in the shot

[@jobuscuswafer1716]

The Frasnel effect could be another reason that could be causing some extra light reflection at certain angles. It can happen on any object or surface. Basically the larger the angle that light bounces off of an object, the more is reflected. This is why water appears less reflective when looking straight down at it vs a more parallel viewing angle.

[@XevianLight]

The fresnel effect is also why concrete can appear reflective at extreme angles, such as near the horizon on a long road. Basically, more surface is covered by the same area of the view due to the angle.

[@terryarmbruster9719]

Youre talking angle of reflection and range of reception. Thaytsnot the Fresnel effect

[@jobuscuswafer1716]

Yes that is what causes the Frasnel Effect. The angle and distance. So I'm talking both

[@TheUnderscore_]

Fresnel* and double yes. You could say both causes of reflection are related in a way.

[@MergeMechanic7395]

So like It'd be easier to grab onto a surface that's more horizontal and not vertical? Like on a surface angled less than 45° you'd be rolling down, but more than 45° is falling against a plane. 45° exactly could be either, neither, or one of them.

I'm wondering... Would this material be any good for lining telescope tubes? Or the shallow angle reflections ruins the blackening of the scope?

[@SuperDavidEF]

I think Vanta black is the better material for the inside of telescope tubes. It's darker than this material, but not as accessible, so no DIY options. I think you're right about this material being too reflective at shallow angles.

[@BBROPHOTO]

That was my first thought as an astrophotographer hah. It definitely wouldn't be ideal due to the reflective nature of it with off axis light, which is the biggest problem in telescopes. Not just that, the nature of the material, the surface would like degrade rapidly due to the moisture / dew and heat cycles that occur with telescopes.

[@Sekir80]

@@BBROPHOTO Oh, so the material isn't long lasting. Didn't know that! Back to reflections: i'm guessing velvet is reflecting in shallow angels, no? Probably thats the reason concentric rings are placed in the tube.

[@BBROPHOTO]

@@Sekir80 Tube baffles and knife edge baffles are used for that reason yes. They're very effective as they act like peaks and valleys, similar to how sound isolation material works. I have my newtonian lined with normal velour flocking, it's not *super* black, but the important part is, it isn't totally flat like paint - so light gets absorbed into it. A focuser with knife edge baffles inside the draw tube also helps as the last wall of defence against stray light.

That shot at 4:40 was incredibly helpful. This sort of material would be very ideal for telescope and astronomy applications where light absorption to stop reflections is really important. Telescopes tubes are lined and coated with anti reflective paint and flocking. Off axis light is a real problem and a material light this would be help, but it seems it would actually potentially cause more issues!

[@DAndyLord]

How well does this effect work when the fabric is wet?

[@H2SO4pyro]

i'm pretty sure the fabric is hydrophobic, so you would see the countless water droplets rolling down but the fabric itself wouldnt change color

[@TheZotmeister]

The fabric is actually rather absorbent - all the fine fibers trap water pretty well. When wet, it still looks black, but not _as_ black, since the wetness itself is reflective. (Exception: if you're holding the fabric up to a light source right behind it, the wet part will be the darkest, since it's the only part one can't see through the weave.) Getting it wet gives it quite the curl and I really don't recommend trying it beyond a tiny scrap piece. (Speaking from personal experience here.)

[@bloepje]

How much heat would that absorb? I mean: we already have the most radiant paint that radiates heat into space with a wavelength that's not absorbed by CO2. having one piece of radiant paint and one piece of absorbing paint means a very active absorbing and evection of heat. Put the black on a heatsink inside the house and thermally connect that heatsink to the radiant painted heatsink outside on the roof. Low density hot water pumps the hot water to the roof and the cooled down denser water will sink to your black wall or ceiling. If you thermally insulate the radiant part with material that let's through the radiation, this will pump out heat of the house no matter how hot it is outside compared to the inside.
