Solar Space Heater
Winter is coming. Time to get ready. Today the renewable energy group
in TorC got together to build a solar space heater. It is a pretty
simple idea. Build a box, paint it black and attach it to a window. We
managed to build and insulate the window portion. However we still
have plenty of work ahead of us. We have not gotten around to building
the 4' x 7' black box collector yet. The curvy translucent PVC is
slowing us down. I think using glass would have been more appropriate.

Bountiful Alliance. The solar hot box is going on his house.
