Like many, I've spent a good portion of my life dealing with people who are so sure they're correct they find it impossible to consider other possibilities. More often than not it's because they heard it from someone they know and trusted, so it must be true, right? The Internet has only compounded the problem, allowing near-universal access to a great wealth of incorrect opinions and misinformation - especially if they 'Google' it using terminology that's stuck in their tiny little brains.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is entirely possible to use the Internet to find correct and accurate information, but it takes more than technology and an Internet connection, it also requires an open mind. If only there were more of them.
I have to admit that when I decided to do this testing that I would be focusing my energy on mitigating factors such as the effects of traffic, crosswinds, and recovery times. I was blown away to find essentially no temp rise over tarmac at all. I was expecting somewhere in the area of 20% of tarmac differential temp, not 0%.

My favorite quote in the world is: "The larger the circle of light becomes,the greater the perimeter of darkness around it." Albert Einstein.
