I posted last night, sick in bed, with either the flue, or a really bad cold (feeling really burnt out), and I used the volumetric thermal mass of steel,...
Hi folks; This coming weekend (looks like great weather) I will be conducting a free workshop, converting an existing porch, into a Solar sunspace. Here is a...
I've been tossing around the idea of using incoming tap (or other) water before it goes to be heated as a "pre-cooler" for air. Something like a heat exchanger...
I have long been frustrated with conventional refrigeration systems. In the past I have lived entirely without the benefit of refrigeration for extended...
Simple home-made heat pipes may be the way to make a really good cold store. The key is that a heat pipe without a wick will only transport heat upwards- if...
The inversion process does cause considerable loss and some sundanzer models come with dual compressors. Not having to invert 12volts to 120volts does have...
Hi Laren, you are correct to point out the Trojan charge/discharge cycle table but this doesn't take into account any extended discharge/recharge cycles. If a...

Superinsulation is key to the process. Much cheaper and more stable than batteries and cheaper over time than generating power Kirk ... From: Stone Tool...
From: "Stone Tool" <owly@...> ... Hello Howard; Thermal storage is easy.... And far more efficient than batteries, not only in the fact that it returns...
"""There has been very little talk of using "engineered "change of state" fluids" (blue ice) as a way of storing energy. """ ... Does it really do that? ...
Laren: While the cheap blue ice that is sold in Walmart for general consumer use is no doubt little more than salt and water, there are other fluids which are...
