Diy solar parabolic trough gen2 intro. In 2010, I wrote "How to build a Tracking Parabolic Solar Collector" describing my self designed and built working prototype and test results. I tried to show what a determined person can do with ordinary tools and materials, a good hardware store and a bit of perseverance - a high performance Do It Yourself (DIY) solar heater. Since then, I have had lots of great feedback from the 600+ people who bought the book and Thank You for that! [updated March 2014] Over the past four years, I have improved the design. This improved design is described in detail my new book "Solar Parabolic Trough Concentrator: Home Experimenter's Manual". Improvements The reflector design has been simplified. Gen2 design goals: Simpler hand or machine made ribs In the original version, there were three different types of ribs - now one rib does all three jobs.
I show the methods I use to make small quantities by hand using patterns. (click any pic to enlarge) Please show your support by buying my books. Solar Vacuum Tube | Solar Evacuated Tube | Electric Bike Kit | Electric Bicycle Kits | Clean Republic. Excellent for winter heating systems and summer projects. Boil water using only sunlight! 1 tube can raise 1 liter of water from 60'F(15'C) to 212'F(100'C) in one hour of direct sunlight. Use this box of 10 tubes for your own science or hobby projects, or for building your own powerful solar-powered home heating systems. Tube Specs: -Includes: Box of Ten (10) Solar Vacuum (evacuated) tubes. Finally you have a reliable U.S. source for high-grade solar vacuum tubes, also known as solar evacuated tubes. Each solar evacuated tube soaks up the energy in sunlight, absorbing it into the super-insulated inner tube of their incredible double-wall heating system.
