And another thing

OK so you have the base concept of collecting little bits of sunshine (ie: a whole lot of it) and we (that is me, myself & I ) are seriously thinking that we have to store this somehow.
Take one large stainless steel tank, OK I can get one of those (I'm thinking 3 cubic metres (which gives me a working capacity of, ooh lets see oh yes 3,000 litres)). now to insulate it, ah maybe some fibreglass and bury it so it isn't a hazard.
I also need to track down designs for flash boilers and injectors (plus associated check valves and piping) so I can create steam.
Then steam ejectors and vortex tube designs (ran in reverse using a vacuum will give me cold & hot air separation, heatsink the hot & heat exchange the cold and chill water is mine)

Lawks & Lumme

Yes been everso laspse on the blogging thing, I was thinking about making this one into "What I have done reference free aircon", which would suit the last 3 months contributions, I want to make a solar collecting trough, that will harness some serious power in the form of heat!
"What good is heat in a hot climate?"
I want to make steam!
Steam can be used (via a thing called an ejector) to create a vacuum, make a vacuum and reduce water temperature, thus chilling!
With me so far?
No, thought not!
OK with a parabolic trough like the one above, I intend to garner some serious heat.
