Vision Focus: Envisioning a Solar Future
The overall goal is to raise the
awareness of what is possible with solar, and to draw people into
conversation about the sustainability of our lifestyle. Volunteers
are needed for the conversation.
Outside, hands on.
Jack's solar oven, baking
cookies which we sell.
A display unit of vacuum
evacuated tubes heating water. Evolve Green will let us use
theirs.
A flat plate solar water heater.
Have not located one.
A display sized solar wall (Ron
Peters is building one)
A display unit photovoltaic
complete with battery and light, again from Evolve Green. This is a
12 volt system
David Dawson has built a simple
pump powered by a windshield wiper motor. This is a demonstration
unit, but it would be suitable for pumping from a pond or shallow
well.
A lighting display, with a large
face analogue ammeter. A switch would control flow to different
light bulbs and the current draw would be reflected on the ammeter.
Under a 10 x 10 ft canopy
Chairs, etc, built from pallet
furniture. Their function is to facilitate conversation
Poster sized photos:
What is SETI.
Jack's food dehydrator
Solace house
Home sized wind generator
Peak Oil poster
???
Handouts (for sale)
Rethinking 2011 booklet
solar dehydrator CDs
something on each of the above.
Questionnaire??? I have been
advocating for this as a way of drawing people into discussion,
however if we have all of the above I do not think it is
necessary.
