SolarFreak Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 Welcome SF; let's fire it on up!:shrug:yeah I had been reading this tread for a while, and want to post in it. Im also working on a way to make charoal with solar power, but using mirrors to bring them temp up. I really like way you built it. outstanding work. It looks like have to make 10 posts before I can post any links :eek2: I working a program right now to calc the angles that the mirrors I'm going should be at. for my test data I used the same focus point of 10 on my program. x^2 = 4pf Quote

By-the-by, I'm required by law to ask how you found us?I also use a photovoltaic panel & deep-cell battery for mobile & backup power at home in blackouts. They keep promising it is getting cheeper, but I don't see it in the shops!?That is all.:eek2:PS Are you native to Okinawa? I knew a woman who was a nurse on the hospital ship Comfort that went in with the US invasion fleet there. Quote
SolarFreak Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Posted June 28, 2006 I was trying to figure out a project to build this summer. I found this forum via google, I was searching for people building solar parabolic troughs, and ran right into yours. I had built a solar furance a few years ago, but it was just a wall of mirrors that I had to align the mirrors by using screws to focus all the beams. I had 12 X 12 array of 2" x 2" mirrors. This time I want build something like it but using the parabola forumal so I dont need to adjust 144 mirrors to get it to work right. last summer I built a hydrogen electrolyzer useing pvc pipes 5 VW solar battery chargers to power it. Nope Im not native Okinawan, but I have lived here for about 9 years total. Im also interest in the WWII history of Okinawa Quote
Tormod Posted June 28, 2006 Report Posted June 28, 2006 It looks like have to make 10 posts before I can post any links :doh: A hint: You can use PM to Turtle and he would post the link for you. :hyper: The 10 post count thing is because we have had serious problems with spammers.
