Could this be a great find!? (Vaporization Heat Vest)

2024/08/08

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

The other day, I had the opportunity to give a presentation to an audience of about 300 people, which was a truly wonderful experience.

But since my talk overlapped completely with the ones given right before mine, I was seriously panicking lol.

So my self-introduction ended up being a bit long, lol.

Then I steered the conversation toward the core of the issue.

But it's really hard to talk like this, isn't it?

I was really nervous, but it was a good experience.

But my voice is a mess because of COVID—it’s been bothering me since yesterday, lol.

The COVID-19 symptoms themselves have subsided and I don't have a fever, but my voice... lol

Thank you very much.

I look forward to working with you again if the opportunity arises.

That said, I'm scheduled to give another talk on something related to pressure plates in September.

I'll be in touch again.

Aqua Water Vest

Last time, this was!!!

That sounds great!!!??

So, based on that story, I bought an Aqua Water Vest. (One of our employees bought one too, lol.)

I Went to the Heatwave Countermeasures Expo at Tokyo Big Sight (Part 1)

I Went to the Heatwave Countermeasures Expo at Tokyo Big Sight (Part 2)

I Went to the Heatwave Countermeasures Expo at Tokyo Big Sight (Part 3)

I Went to the Heatwave Countermeasures Expo at Tokyo Big Sight (Part 4)

We would like to inform you of these results.

 

If you put it on the moment you step into the cold water, you'll say, "Ahhh, that feels so good~," but,

After that, it was just a long, drawn-out silence, followed by a reaction like, “Oh, well…”

 

And I was thinking I’d turn on the air-conditioned suit after this, but,

Apparently, I end up sweating so much that this vest and the shirt underneath get completely soaked, and

Apparently, it's been gross the whole time lol

 

Apparently, it’s still okay if you’re wearing an air-conditioned shirt instead of a regular one, since the fan’s breeze dries the shirt…

I'll do a little more testing and see what the results are.

So it really is a Peltier element!? lol

Or is it a water-cooled suit?

But apparently, water-cooled suits don't work with full-body harnesses because the tubes get squished, lol.

 

See you later.

Hello, everyone. I’m Enta. I’ve been driving for about three hours, thinking to myself, “Isn’t the distance we slope workers travel just crazy?” so I figured I’d write about it lol. Our sense of distance is out of sync with the rest of the world. Generally speaking, a one-hour commute by car…

Why Do Cracks Form in Mortar? | Examining the Causes of Cracks in Formwork and Sprayed Mortar from the Perspectives of Mix Design and Curing

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. I came across a job site where there were fine cracks in the joints of the retaining wall. A layperson who was with me (not a slope contractor) asked, “Is this okay?” I explained the reasons on the spot, but later I thought, “If I summarize this on my blog, people will understand…”

The Correct Way to Install Formwork Is Level (Horizontal) | Why Aligning It with the Road Grade Will Make Reinforcement Installation a Nightmare

Hello, everyone. This is Enta. When I’m driving on the highway, I can’t help but keep looking at the road embankments—it’s an occupational hazard, isn’t it? lol The other day, while I was on the road, I saw a retaining wall that sloped diagonally to match the road’s gradient. Just as I thought, “Oh, that’s to match the gradient,” I also wondered, “What if there were rebar installers working on this…”

Hello, everyone. This is Enta.

Back in the day, when I was installing ground anchors…
