|    New solar energy challenge.    |

      XPost: sci.physics       From: dwickford@yahoo.com              This is about how country houses, which England is famous for, can stay       heated by solar in a green retro modern way using tech from the period.              Basically tracking mirrors to shine sun on the building walls and       windows. However the interesting part is that the control would be       clockwork, and the heavy movement by weights or such. No reliance on       electricity at all. To avoid a solar furnace effect and wouldn't want       more than about 4 flat mirrors shining on the same spot.              Manual alignment should be easy, where there is a challenge is a self       aligning arrangement with bi-metal or similar.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
