I wouldn’t call it an insulator but it is a poor conductor of heat compared to aluminum. I think in this situation either one would be capable of dissipating heat better than just about any blanket.
Right, like I said a poor thermal conductivity but as far as blankets go, you won’t find anyone attempting to get warm with chainmail because it would unfortunately result in an increased loss of body heat. In so far as blankets go, not an insulator.
Also worth mentioning I was trying to stay in the real of possibilities and this case stainless wire is readily available in many forms for welding, and would resist oxidation better than copper. Obviously we can just name the best conductors of heat.
Seems like you would want to use stainless steel instead of aluminum if you’re going for weight.
Edit: Yes I realize there are better conductors of heat but for the sake of using corrosion resistant welding materials I went with stainless.

Lol. At this point you’re just completely off the rails.
Silver would just bend though as it would be too malleable on its own
If weight is the only thing you care about, then sure. The only problem is even normal weighted blankets can be an absolute furnace in the summer.
just insulate your house and shove an air conditioner on it to lower the temperature to 40°F
This is what I’m talking about. Make sure you insulate it with stainless steel though. It’s in the insulation section at your local hardware store.
