Sunny Day, I would like to invite you to come and visit my web site listed below. The Sundial Primer has expanded significantly over the last few months and a new section, Sunny Day U, has been added.
Information about a number of additional sundials, over two dozen in total, has been added as well as more design information. The page "Sun Charts" shows you how to use sun path charts to obtain design information for a number of different sundials. Normally these charts are used in passive solar energy design. There is a link to a site where you can get your own sun charts for any location in the world. Sunny Day U is a new area that has some interesting stuff. There are a number of paper sundial kits available there and more will be coming in the future. If you are a teacher these would make great projects. There are also a couple of devices that you might find useful. The "Correct-A-Dial" calculator will help you to determine both the Equation of Time and longitude corrections for a sundial. The "Dialling Buddy" is a device that will provide you with design information similar to the "Sun Charts" but in a different format. There is even more! And wherever possible, these kits and devices are available for both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Come and visit! Happy Dialling! Carl Sabanski www.mysundial.ca -
