ABSTRACT:
A barrier for retarding transfer of certain energy and/or substances between adjacent fluids having different densities. The barrier includes a floating blanket consisting of a multitude of individual and distinct coverites that float on a high density fluid, such as water, and separate a low density fluid, such as air, from the high density fluid. Each coverite of the blanket includes a wall of flexible material encasing an enclosed fluid. Each coverite presses against and compresses its neighboring coverites, whereby its flexible wall mutually conforms to the shape of its neighboring coverites' flexible walls to thereby form the floating blanket barrier. The enclosed fluid includes a low density enclosed fluid having a density approximately the same as the first said low density fluid and a high density enclosed fluid having a density approximately the same as the first said high density fluid. Each coverite includes an interior wall for separating the low density enclosed fluid from the high density enclosed fluid. Liquids enclosed in the coverites may contain a substance which decreases convection therein so as to decrease heat loss by such convection. The coverites may be transparent or opaque in accordance with the particular use of the blanket.
