Now the trick is to get something useful constructed here at my new dwelling. It so happens that I did some work on some unrelated project and, while doing so, I discovered an interesting fact that I could put to use. Thus, most of the elements are coming together for a humdinger of an experiment.
Not only that, I managed to conceive a realistic plan to make my coffin, too. If you recall, the "coffin" is a small area devoted to sleeping ( like Dracula ), and by sleeping in it, I may keep my energy expenditure to a bare minimum. ( Not sleeping in the nude, if you were curious. )
What else needs to be done? I need a place to put the passive solar device. I need a tank that will contain heated water. I need the pumps and the lines from the tank to the device. Finally, I need a pump and some lines to run from the tank to a radiator that will heat the coffin. Sounds like a lot of hardware, doesn't it?
Still in the planning stage.
