Removable window insulator

摘要

A window insulator includes a coupling layer, a reflective layer, and a layer of dielectric material disposed between the coupling layer and the reflective layer. The combination of the coupling layer, the reflective layer, and the layer of dielectric material forms a capacitor that facilitates the release of electrons from the reflective layer and the transfer of the free electrons from the reflective layer to the coupling layer when the window insulator is exposed to radiant energy.

1. A window insulator comprising:
a coupling layer; and a reflective layer including a dielectric medium bonded to the coupling layer and further including a metallized layer, the dielectric medium being disposed between the metalized layer and coupling layer and being spaced apart from the coupling layer, the combination of the coupling layer and the reflective layer forming a capacitor that stores electric charges, the metalized layer releasing free electrons when radiant energy falls on the metallized layer, the free electrons being acquired by the dielectric medium and migrating to the coupling layer such that the coupling layer becomes negatively charged when the window insulator is exposed to radiant energy.
