Chuck, is there a specific paint you used to shield against solar radiation? I rolled a gallon of white elastomeric roof coating from home depot onto one of our DDB boxes, and while it did drop the temp slightly, the results weren't that impressive. I think the issue with our test is we chose a s

My tests had very little live load. I think only 100 watts so that is probably the major difference. We just use a color called satellite white. I don’t think it matters much. From: castarritt Sent: Friday, July 9, 2021 9:26 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Solar

I'd rather see the deaths by accident alone. "Air pollution" seems like it could be a fuzzy number. On Fri, Jul 9, 2021 at 1:19 PM Chuck McCown via AF wrote: > [image: nuclear-10adesktop-2] > -- > AF mailing list > AF@af.afmug.com > http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com > -- AF m

Seems like a very subjective data set. How do you determine deaths from "air pollution"? On Fri, Jul 9, 2021 at 3:04 PM can...@believewireless.net < p...@believewireless.net> wrote: > I'd rather see the deaths by accident alone. "Air pollution" seems like it > could be a fuzzy number. > > On Fri

Pretty sure coal mining accidents plus black lung add up to more than anything else on the chart. Coal fly ash is more radioactive than any other radioactive thing released as far as curies released. Not sure how you calculate air pollution. Also not sure how you quantify ultimate deaths fro

I could have sworn it was afmug sourced, but somewhere along the line I picked up that a shaded enclosure will actually perform better if it is a dark color. The whites and reflective colors are better at reflecting energy off of them, but not at dissipating it, dark colors shed heat better. In a s

Those are options. For sure, black will both absorb more and radiate more. The question is if you can keep it shaded. If not, then white is the choice. In a perfect world, you would paint it chameleon. White in the sun, and black in the shade/dark. -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On Fri, Jul 9

That is a good point, shade moves. So the shield will have to be big and maybe have vertical features. I did shades. Something convinced me they were not worth the effort. Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 9, 2021, at 8:16 PM, Bill Prince wrote: > >  > Those are options. For sure, black will b
