Hi Aubrey,

Thanks for the reply, and I looked at your post. It looks like your numbers/charts reflect what you are saying, but what I was looking for is a video demonstration of a real world soap-bubble greenhouse and how it functions. The soap/water reservoir, the mechanics...a soap bubble greenhouse in action.

I am not denying or refuting anything you say. In fact, it sounds like a good concept, but I have to echo what @binfordw wrote:

I would think magic would sell itself better! Looks like the soap bubble insulation idea has been around for quite awhile from articles I've found on the web, must be a reason it hasn't gained any ground yet?


How is it that this concept has been "hidden" for so long? What would be the cost for a homeowner for one of these systems...within the common sizes for a backyard greenhouse? Or, would the cost only make sense for a commercial scale greenhouse? I know you said it would be expensive initially, but cheaper in the long run because of the temperature effects and energy savings, but how much money are we talking? There are many splendid ideas and solutions for many of the problems in the world that never come to fruition because of the costs involved. Would this greenhouse be marketable or prohibitively expensive for the common backyard greenhouse grower?
