Interesting that everyone can see the obvious uses such as for remote locations, 3rd world countries…blah blah blah….Personally I have some far higher personal aims with such a device. Such as replacing/ supplementing current home refrigeration and cooling- if not replacing it all together…both being the more demanding electic needs of a household. I have already gotten my gas bill down into the 15 to 20 dollar range adding a simple homemade solar water heater out of spare parts, the only part that wasnt already in my workshop was a combiner valve to keep myself from being burned by too hot of water it generates. I thought that the attic space in my home would be perfect to use as the heating source for making ice, since even on a not so hot day, an attic will easily reach the temp needed for the process. Want to reduce fuel demand in the nation by massive amounts…rather than invest millions in gov. programs to figure out what to do…why not make it mandatory that all water heaters be converted to solar water heaters when they need to be replaced..Why do the solutions to so many problems need government and corporate oversight and investment? Is it because there is no true interest in doing anything about it? My motivation comes from the fact that I am given the opportunity to be a part of this forum where I will be able to express my opinion without fear or favor and hope to be heard. |
