I'm seeking more info on a new type of solar hot water collector.

This appears in "Blues Country Magazine " latest issue in Far North Queensland .
If someone has a copy you might post a scan of the article - I read it but I lost my copy



I have found some information which I will try to add links to as I find them

This is similar but the bulb of the one I was looking at is more pronounced and it does not have a tube the length of the evacuated tube

Again i say you are making irrelevent posts .Please go away. Can I say it any clearer or more politely . This is new technology which fact you have not understood and your mate is obviously jabbing you on.

I have sent for the article and will post it when I get it . Thats if your mate will leave the bloody thread alone

Fine by me.

In the future I will remember not to offer.

BTW, I need no prompting to do anything.

It appears you have more to do with "him" than me.

I have no "dog" in this fight. Leave me out of it.

I can remove my post however, on the other hand I can't remove your attitude.

The URL I posted is a good read and for those who want to investigate solar systems and want to purchase one will appreciate it.

I will move it to another thread.

As it stand it appears you no longer need information on anything, as you are the expert.:)

Thank you for enlightening me.

Sincerely, kv

OK now I have since recovered the article and the bit I'm interested in is the " Sydney Tube "
Not a new idea but approached in a new way by the advertiser . The bulb is filled with with distilled water and the evacuated tube is copper lined giving a boiling point around 25 C. This rises to 200 deg C by the sun and the heat is transferred to water in the collector then on to the tank .

The distilled water condenses back to water and runs back down the bulb and this happens at the speed of sound ? according to one professor in the early eighties? So it old but I had not seen this aspect before

Could not find a web site to post on it and the advertiser has not consented to a scan of his article as yet
