Are you looking for a way to use it structurally, to stiffen the bike? Or for an accessory?

I've always thought the Chinese Room argument was kind of silly. It argues that if a little thing isn't conscious then a vast complex assembly of billions of the same thing can't be.
Individual neurons aren't conscious, so if that's how it works then we aren't either.

This is a common failure of retrofit insulation systems - you really want a vapour barrier that's on the hot side of your insulation, not the cold side.

Yes, I think that would work. Has to be for long enough to warm the wall up so it'll have an energy cost.

I think it'll make you warmer but you'll get a lot of condensation and hence maybe mould on the wall behind them. You need to stop warm wet room air sneaking behind them.
