Is this something you just did? What was the ambient temperature? What was the temperature of the tarmac?

Nice work - what were the results?

Your dam looks great -

You seriously need to relax.

I'm very relaxed. Testing was already conducted way back. The laser front pic is current as demonstration of what was accomplished.

Keep in mind that I wanted to avoid debates. I'm quite comfortable with the ignorance and think no less of you for it. What I do have little tolerance for is people rudely criticizing my work using their ignorance as justification. You may consider my absolute lack of respect for the opinion of internet experts as arrogant, but you would once again be mistaken. I have total respect for you as a person, even if you do base your opinions of other's repeated unsubstantiated crap. You also seem the think that I should be in awe of this forum's size and the resulting diversity of total ignorance, but as before you are mistaken.

You ready for some test results? Last chance to get me banned before I post them.

Here you go. So what would you like to debate next?

Test data,

Air temperature testing was conducted as follows:

Testing was done with a test fixture that mounted test coupons at the desired height and insulated aluminum test coupons from outside heat sources. Testing was accomplished on both concrete and asphalt surfaces, and during cloudy, partly cloudy, and sunny conditions. Each test was accompanied by a control coupon mounted in the shade and with its radiant barrier towards the sun.

Test coupons were set as follows:
1. Reference coupon. Mounted coupon under a shade tree with reflective foil towards the sun.
2. Bare coupon directly on tarmac
3. 1.25” above tarmac
4. 7.4” above tarmac
5. 14.75” above tarmac
6. 22” above tarmac
7. 29.75” above tarmac

Results for all tests were consistent regardless of surface being tested or level of direct sunlight, with the only difference being the temp gradient spread from coupon 2 vs. the others. Wind speed made no significant difference with the exception of normalizing temperatures of coupons 2 and 3.

The following test was taken in early afternoon on a calm day. The readings are an average of 20 samples taken over a period of twenty minutes after a 15 minute soak. High and low readings were eliminated for each.

1. 73
2. 104
3. 74
4. 73
5. 73
6. 73
7. 72

Looks like you need to keep your intake off the tarmac.

Oh wait.... you are.
