smell the skin burn...


Had one of those excellent high UV days....where you think you can actually smell your skin burning. Finished rigging up the heat sync for the solar fryer and it seems to be in pretty good position. Had to trick myself into getting started on the next level for the big solar oven. Since I don't know what the final design will be - I just had to begin to see where it leads (that's the worst part of the process). Got an excellent jump on it. Have to finish it up so I can demo it at the Terlingua Green Scene on Saturday. http://www.terlinguagreenscene.com/ 75,100,49,0,C

R&D


Rather obsessed with solar cooking today in order to prep for the Terligua Green Scene demo coming up on April 10. Just couldn't wrap my brain around how to keep the cooking surface level as I tilted the dish for my satellite fryer. Searched all over the internet and didn't find exactly what I was looking for so I am just going to have to design it myself. Had to rig some parts to see how it worked and soon discovered it is just a parallelogram. Ordered 200 one inch diameter glass mirrors to glue to the dish surface. Good price and fast service - my mirrors got shipped the same day I ordered them. http://www.bjcraftsupplies.com/
Just one more thing to distract me - also started playing with one of my old bike wheel wind mills - good attention getters.....hope to fix up my Stepper Spinner to show off soon. It is featured in my very first YouTube video posted November 21, 2006. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxcMiXbxdTI 79,92,35,0
