14.Temperature Adaption Experiment

GAINA adapts to the surrounding temperature.

       Left - Regular Paint  / Right - GAINA

Two Iron Plates

• Plates are placed side by side.
• Left coated with regular paint.
• Right coated with GAINA.
• Hot air blown at the center of the model.   

This is done to ensure that each plate gets the same amount of air at the same temperature.

5 seconds passed

Surface Temperatures Change

These images show the changes as seen from a thermographic imager.

• On the right, the GAINA plate temperature increases rapidly.
• On the left, only a hint of change.

another 7 seconds pass

After just 12 seconds

• The GAINA plate is nearly all the same temperature as the heated air.
• Meanwhile, the temperature of the regular painted plate is just starting to rise.

Air Temp Switch

7 seconds of cool air

The hot air was then switched to cold air. This demonstration shows how a GAINA coated surface adapts to surrounding air temperature. After a mere 7 seconds the temperature of the GAINA plate dropped significantly.

• The regular painted surface is still very hot.
