300 watts in a 1.5 litre reator is A LOT! I use 375 watts to heat 30
litres in my prototype batch reactor.

Yeah, I'd go for a larger one -- more energy collection.
I think the larger ones are also tracking? wherease the current

I got the tracking sensor for my 10' dish from Duane Johnson, his site
is at http://www.redrok.com/main.htm
You can read how to make your own, or do the lazy thing and just buy the
ready-made module. It would have cost me as much to buy the parts as
the ready made one he sells. Then it's just
I'm not sure exactly how the satelite dishes are set up mechanically. Solar tracking is easiest if you have a tilted NS axis, around which it can rotate. That way the tilt of the NS axis can be adjusted daily, but during the day, you only have to rotate about that axis from east to west, rather t
Depends on the tracking unit. Most were setup and knew "about" where the
sat should be located then used a AGC
loop to to fine tracking. A easy sun tracker would do about the same
using some photo diodes or small solar cells at
4 points on the dish wired to just balance the readings from opposing
a little reprogramming of the tracking software should fix that, right?On 6/26/06, Dwight HoganCamp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yeah, but they tracked the satellite, not the sun.

ems,
there is no reason why these ponds can not be used for heat generation using
water with an anti freeze/lubricant as the basis.

Pretty small -- 300 watts of insolation at best. Figure a typical
small stove burner puts out 1000 watts at least. Now one of

does anyone know if a regular 2'x1.5' satellite dish (primestar i think)
will work for a solar collector? i was thinking about using it to heat my BD
via exchanger. (maybe borrow the steam pump with check valves idea...) i am
going to try and layer it with tinfoil to begin with, then depending on
