Passive Solar forcasters of the future wished at one time for suc a miracle. The Theory was we could heat a pool pf water in bright sunlight, then “switch” the transparency of the glass and retain most the heat, to our advantage. methods whereby Styrofoam pellets were blown in between layers of glass were tried, as were various solutions of dyes. This technology appears to do the trick, but does it? The article needs more detail. Imagine a pool cover with these characteristics! Warmer water for all!
