Hey , my name is Ben cox . I'm a

00:01.873 --> 00:04.096
research civil engineer . I work in the

00:04.096 --> 00:06.151
airfields and payments branch of the

00:06.151 --> 00:08.207
Geotechnical instructions laboratory

00:08.207 --> 00:07.930
and today I want to talk to you about

00:07.940 --> 00:09.996
inductive hot mix asphalt because we

00:09.996 --> 00:12.107
call it Iijima . What we're trying to

00:12.107 --> 00:15.350
do with Iijima is create a product or

00:15.350 --> 00:17.406
material that has the convenience of

00:17.406 --> 00:19.628
cold mix asphalt . But the long lasting

00:19.628 --> 00:21.628
performance of hot mix asphalt . We

00:21.628 --> 00:23.683
redesigned item A from a regular hot

00:23.683 --> 00:25.572
mix asphalt , different aggregate

00:25.572 --> 00:27.739
blends and different materials . Where

00:27.739 --> 00:29.906
to where basically we can heat it with

00:29.906 --> 00:32.128
induction technology , which is kind of

00:32.128 --> 00:31.870
like microwaving it . We can take a

00:31.880 --> 00:33.991
five gallon bucket and we can heat it

00:33.991 --> 00:35.936
in five minutes , which is kind of

00:35.936 --> 00:37.824
unprecedented in terms of hot mix

00:37.824 --> 00:40.550
technology . So this allows you to take

00:40.550 --> 00:42.606
that wherever you are in the world ,

00:42.606 --> 00:44.939
you can ship it with you and heat it up .

00:44.939 --> 00:46.994
Kind of like this hot mix asphalt on

00:46.994 --> 00:48.994
demand . What this does for the Air

00:48.994 --> 00:51.050
Force is now , it does not depend at

00:51.050 --> 00:53.050
all on how close you are to hot mix

00:53.050 --> 00:55.106
plant or whether it's even running ,

00:55.106 --> 00:57.161
you can make hot mix right where you

00:57.161 --> 00:59.217
are and you can make repairs to your

00:59.217 --> 01:01.217
airfield that will be immediate and

01:01.217 --> 01:03.383
we'll last and we'll stay in traffic .

01:03.383 --> 01:05.550
We invite you to the Innovation Summit

01:05.550 --> 01:05.210
where we seek to solve the nation's

01:05.210 --> 01:08.150
toughest challenges . Mhm .

01:09.940 --> 01:10.950
Mhm . Okay .

01:15.840 --> 01:16.040
Yeah ,
