Not Through The Looking Glass

I struck up a conversation at a local Science Teachers conference the other day. It turns out the fellow is a retired Master Glazer. The conversation ensued about whether he had ever heard about an active window system that has a coating which when applying a controlled voltage signal to would increase or decrease it opacity thereby modulating the "Low E" factor of the glass. This would have immense capacity to increase the energy efficiency of any building. Could you imagine the Russell Street Warehouses with this application? Immense savings and comfort zones! He remembered something remotely similar in the 1980's, we agreed it could be done as he sounded off some of the elemental compounds needed to make such a project come alive.
Having exchanged contact information we agreed to make contact and consider "next steps in proving out this concept. As he said "Wouldn't this be a great legacy to leave behind?" Yes sir a legacy of empowering creative endeavors will always be one of Greatness.....
