<\/p>\nHello, everyone.<\/p>\n
This is Enta.<\/p>\n
It's still a nice time of year\u2014just warm enough to break a light sweat\u2014so it's easy to work.<\/p>\n
It's such a nice time of year!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s that time of year when it\u2019s about to get much colder, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
Every time it gets cold, I say, \u201cThis year, I\u2019m definitely going to do this experiment!\u201d\u2014and now it\u2019s already the third year!!<\/p>\n
That's right!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So it's an experiment with antifreeze, huh? lol<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n I've been saying this for three years now.<\/p>\n I really, really want to experiment with antifreeze, but the weather and timing just haven't worked out for me\u2014it's been three years already, lol.<\/p>\n I'm really determined to make it happen this year, so I definitely want to do it.<\/p>\n It's a pain that so many people still think antifreeze actually works lol (not that I'm really bothered by it, though).<\/p>\n As I\u2019ve mentioned many times before, adding antifreeze lowers the heat of hydration, making the mixture more prone to freezing. (There is official evidence to support this, but I can only show it to you in person.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, with that in mind, this year I\u2019m planning to make the process a bit easier by mixing various types of antifreeze by hand into molds and conducting experiments in the freezer.<\/p>\n There are several types of antifreeze on the market, and I\u2019m planning to try out the one typically used by us slope maintenance professionals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since almost no one has conducted these specific experiments with these few types of antifreeze, this is an experiment I definitely want to try.<\/p>\n I imagine the readers of this blog are probably looking forward to it as well.<\/p>\n The problem is, if I conduct the experiment on my own, there\u2019s a very high chance people will doubt the results and ask, \u201cIs this really true?\u201d So I\u2019m considering asking a public testing facility for their cooperation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, I think it would be really interesting to be present for the entire process\u2014from mixing the test materials to curing and the compressive strength test\u2014and ultimately receive official certification from a public testing facility.<\/p>\n Will a shocking revelation come to light, or is everything working as it should?<\/p>\n According to the information I have, antifreeze is said to be ineffective\u2014does this finding contradict that?<\/p>\n Experiments like this are interesting, aren't they? (I sometimes run other experiments alongside these as well\u2014I'll share those at some point.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n See you later.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello, everyone.
