I have been known to be a skeptic, & even wrong many times. Not doubting his sincerity, but I have trouble with some of the numbers. From Physics 101- water at atmospheric pressure boils at 212F. No matter how much heat energy is added, it will turn to steam & not get hotter than that point without adding pressure. Steam will not get any hotter by adding heat energy either without adding pressure, it will just boil off faster. Adding pressure raises the boiling point 3 deg per lb pressure. To get 350F requires 414 psi. What does the system use to get that much pressure? 7 meters of tubing is only a tad over 23 feet. Hard to imagine large heat transfer from that amount of tubing. Is there a pump to circulate heated water from the solar panels to the storage tanks? Thermo-siphon wouldn't work as the hotter water would rise to top of solar panels. What is room air temp during heating season. I admit the steady/constant temp of hot water radiant heat in the floor is the most comfortable. Will stop here, getting too long Willie

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
