This is the dish I got from a local Craig’s List Listing. I am lining it with the Trough Liner Material.

I once saw an article in Popular Science where they covered the dish in mirrors like yours. They left the arms that hold the LNB at the focal point and replaced the LNB with a collector box wich they ran water thru to make steam. They used the motor that turns the dish to track the sun using a photovotaic cell to turn the motor on and off. When the sun would hit the cell it would turn the dish until the cell was in the shade, then turn off. A solar “switch”, if you will.

it sounds like everyone needs to grow up and be a little more constructive !

“I think, I think, I think…..” Who in the hell cares what you think!
Why don’t you bozo’s go get an engineering degree and contact the manufacturer and do some calculations – instead of sharing your idiot opinions with us all.

Yeah your right – your so completely right;
But I still don’t understand you.

dan dont let up put a reflector at top focal point and converge the beam further a 14 inch dish at top should really super heat
your effort

Dan can you sell me some for my old dish
?? how much or if not where did you get it??

Ok, I get that you have self esteem issues and you feel that by insulting others you somehow make up for inadequacies. This being said, if you act like a troll everyone will treat you like one. If you are unable to be civil I would prefer you simply not respond to me or anyone for that matter… and since you do not know me you have no idea of my educational level. So, in summation, please cease and desist if you are unable to hold a conversation with some level of intelligence.

Is that the very best you can come up with? At least make your insults more intelligent than what one might hear in elementary school… or you might try the novel approach of crawling back under your rock like a bug.

Since when did you and your 8th grade dropout bullshit; become “WE”.

Be Specific Shane, are we converting UK units, US units, or from one to the other?

Ummmmm Ok so you say “I win”….
Ummmmmm who allocated you the winner? (first question) and
Exactly what is it that you won? (second question).
It sounds to me like by having sex with yourself, you got yourself pregnant.
QED. OK – so you win.

Still doesn’t cover up their envy. I win, you lose.
December 3rd, 2009 at 10:11 am
Yes that’s true, so much so that they even have the same flag as yours, only theirs is on fire.

Any progress? Can you atleast show us a video of what you got?
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:48 am
Spank me Dan, Spank me.
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Dan gives me a hard on.
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:32 pm
And just how did you measure the number, with board feet or by dry bushels?
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:59 pm
what are the fresnale lens called that have a bunch of small ones on top of one big sheet lens does it all focus one spot or 5 other spots at once

Seeing as how America is more than 5% of the global population you must be an idiot.
December 3rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm
YES, PLEEEEEEASE! : )
oops … CAPS LOCK got stuck haha … but it serves my purpose so I leave it there!
Great videos … I think I’ve seen all of them . some of them several times.
They are slightly disorganized if you haven’t bookmarked them. Other than that: great job!!!

you should make videos in series from start to finish and number them.

My boiler is a tankless on demand 120,000 btu unit that uses 180* water to heat our radiant heat it runs at 180* out and 70-90* back in until it has run through the whole system then its 140-160* back in. My thought is at 500* start temp my loss over 12-16 hours should only drop the overall temp down to 200-250* using the heat exchanger. Im worried about the water flashing to steam but with a 2″ line in and out the water should not flash with this volume.
December 3rd, 2009 at 3:38 pm
I guess the easiest way to figure that is to determine how many BTU’s your heater uses a day. That 80 degrees is your stored btu’s So your heat usage can be deducted from that storage + the heat loss through the insulation. Which because you are not dealing with as high a temp that loss will be reduced.
