I'm working on a way to generate electricity from heat which is scrap makeable. It's a bit of a general engineering grail at the moment. Current simple applications for the solarflower would be heating and pasteurising water (thermosyphon it through the collector tube into a header tank), or pump/th...

Checked with a bunch of people and the site's working fine for them.

Ignore the donation thing, this is info being given away, not a solicitation.

If anyone has any questions about the device and making it, please let me know.

Hey all, if this isn't the best place for posting this please let me know. Thought some here might be interested in a device I've just prototyped and documented. Blurb: The Solarflower is an open source solar energy collector which tracks the sun automatically through a simple non-electrical mechani...

Hi, this is Daniel, I prototyped the solar tracker and my father Alan designed the steam system pictured. > do you have any examples of these solar flowers even producing enough steam to spin a turbine? I've had it boiling water in the collector tube, which works as well as you'd hope. You're right ...
