Evacuated Solar Tube Implosion Solar Water Heater Thermal Storage

Solar evacuated tubes are extremely efficient at transferring sunlight to heat. This heat is then transferred to the material inside. This video is for lower quality water heaters that may experience rain water infiltration from poor designs. This is also an efficient method for enhancing good designs enabling solar thermal storage. If you use heated … Read more

Thermal Energy Demonstration

Sixth-grade science students saw an example this week of what a quick change in temperature can cause. Liquid Nitrogen is colder than –200 degrees Celsius, and when it contacts warmer masses, it boils and rapidly converts to gas, greatly expanding in volume. In an enclosed space, such as a water bottle with a cap, it … Read more
