Signal Coatings raise power line capacity about 30% and cut surface temperature up to 15 degrees

Summary

Three deployments carry the chapter's infrastructure claim: AssetCool's coating for United Kingdom power cables is said to let existing lines carry about 30 percent more electricity, SRI International's self-cooling paint is said to cut surface temperatures by up to 15 degrees below ambient, and SPACECOOL, an offshoot of Osaka Gas, has a film reflecting 95 percent of sunlight now applied to shipping containers and switchboards.
