yesterday this section of blacktop was
0:04
installed so it's less than 24 hours old
0:08
and I wanted to show you you can see
0:09
where the cars are parked that's an
0:11
existing black top driveway that's
0:13
probably 8 years old i wanted to show
0:15
you how long Blacktop stays hot using my
0:19
thermal imaging camera so look at this
0:25
the center of the camera aimed at the
0:28
black top between the two cars and you
0:30
can see it's yellow and green but look
0:34
here this is all the retained heat
0:38
that's still in this black top all right
0:40
it's starting to cool down here at the
0:42
edges because uh I remember when they
0:45
they've installed it's a little thinner
0:47
there but this black top is still really
0:50
pretty pretty warm you know this is why
0:54
you don't want to be driving on fresh
0:59
um for a while you know simple as
1:02
that because you could damage it it's
1:04
still really soft also the
1:09
um the reason you also have to keep in
1:12
mind that new blacktop has got a lot of
1:14
lightweight oils in the asphalt the
1:16
asphalt cement and it takes a while for
1:19
those to evaporate and that's why you
1:23
don't want to be parking motorcycles or
1:24
putting your car in here and turning the
1:26
wheels you know in place because you're
1:28
going to scar the fresh black top so
1:30
pretty interesting use of a um you know
1:34
of an infrared camera here you can still
1:37
see how hot this is and of course
1:39
there's the edge you know there's the
1:41
edge of the uh of the black top and then
1:44
of course when you take it away the
1:45
camera you can see of course you know
1:47
we're picking up you know the blue area
1:51
right so very interesting use of a uh
