The discussion is about solar powered boilers, Marvin.

Glazier is talking about making electricity, using a solar boiler. The rest is pretty much conventional physics of steam engines. Or don't you even know what you're talking about here? Solar boilers is kinda old hat.

From: G=EMC^2 Glazier on 26 Nov 2009 08:04 Sam WOW you answered a question. In your answer was the fact that big boilers can store lots of heat. As you know Severn Trent has shut my house water. I have five 55 gal. barrels that collect rain water. I make the best use of the Sun to keep the water at about 108 degrees.for my showers My electric bill is down by $50 bucks each month(no house boiler) Yes my barrels are black,and when no Sun they get the best insulation. All is good physics. All is good engineering how I collect the water. I have always bought bottled water for drinking. Best to realize Florida has ground water that filters through millions of caskets each day. God gave us water,and now that the Godfather owns Severn Trent Water he can take it away. Bert

What insulation, Herb? You said they were black. All is good physics. All is good engineering how I collect > the water. I have always bought bottled water for drinking.
