How to Stay Cool in the Hot Desert
When the thermometer starts to hit 90 F nearly every day, even though it is a dry heat as we say here in the desert, we start thinking seriously about ways to stay cool. More than 14 years ago when we were planning to build a renewable energy powered home, cooling our home was the big question. We had no doubt our new home, to be constructed on a 20 acre hilltop near Vail, Arizona, would be powered with wind and solar. We chose the site with wind power in mind. The domestic hot water system...

Negative Copper bus bar Eight L-16s cross wired for 1400 Amp-hours at 12 Volts Negative Copper bus bar Eight L-16s cross wired for 1400 Amp-hours at 12 Volts the cable into the tubing. I flattened one end of the tubing with a hammer, soldered the connection, and drilled a hole in the flattened end. I wired this new battery bank differently from my old bank. I used three lengths of 3 16 inch by 1 1 2 inch copper bus bar to cross wire the battery see diagram above . Each bus was mounted to the...

years and has survived numerous hard freezes and inch sized hail stones. These evacuated tubes have the insulation value of a vacuum bottle. Inside each two and a half inch diameter glass tube there is a finned heat pipe partially filled with an alcohol water mixture. Sunshine causes this mixture to boil and heat is transmitted to a glycol mixture which in turn transfers the heat to the home's 80 gallon Rheem SolarAid hot water tank. This DHW system is rather complex with two stages of heat...
Electrathon Racing in Michigan
The West coast is the undisputed hotbed of Electrathon racing in the USA, through the efforts of Electrathon America, Clean Air Revival, and other groups. Soon that distinction will be challenged by a new kid on the block the EVT. EVT is short for the Electric Vehicle Technology program at Jordan College Energy Institute JEI in Michigan. After working with events such as the 1990 GM Sunrayce Florida to Michigan and the Ford Hybrid Electric Vehicle Challenge, JEI formed the 1994 Michigan High...

Hydraulic Ram Pump
adapted from A Manual for Constructing and Operating a Hydraulic Ram Pump by Kurt Janke amp Louise Finger 1994 Kurt Janke amp Louise Finger Here's a design for a hydraulic ram pump that requires readily available materials and few tools to construct. Ram pumps are commercially available that are potentially more efficient and durable, but are also more expensive. This pump can be built for under 75, and is capable of pushing 130 gallons per day 150 feet high, with a drive head of 20 feet. A ram...

It feels like Spring. In the transportation arena, things are popping up all over. Where do I begin Would you believe a new world land speed record for electric vehicles It happened at Fort Stockton Test Center's 7.7 mile oval track on March 11, 1994. A GM Impact, with a thorough aerodynamic facelift and a run weight of 3250 pounds, travelled 183.075 miles per hour over one mile in the 1000 kilograms 2205 pounds and above category. This sets both a national and international record for miles...

The Independent Photovoltaic Power Providers IPPP is now the Independent Power Providers IPP . We've dropped the word photovoltaic to encourage all Independent Power Providers to join together under one banner. If we're to guide our own destiny and that of those to come after us into the Renewable Age, we need the strength of all the Independents whether they provide power by wind, hydro, co-generation, or solar thermal. And it doesn't matter whether you're in the biz or whether you are...
