HOW TO DISCOVER IF
SOLAR OR WIND POWER IS BEST FOR YOU:
Solar and Wind Energy - A Primer for Beginners. Compare and contrast solar
and wind energy. Covers application, purchasing, regional wind and solar
charts, installation, practical use, plus appliance wattage chart and load
calculation sheets.
HOW TO MAKE A SOLAR
OVEN:
Step by Step Instructions - Cook your food using the sun! Covers BOX cookers,
PANEL cookers, PARABOLIC cookers, "Pizza-box" cookers,
"Pringles-can" cookers, the simple Bernard cooker, etc. WITH
PICTURES! Also includes details on thermometers, swivel pivots, sun timers
(timing dowel) for easier cooking, recipes, tips for cooking, what kind of
pots/pans to use and avoid, and more! For the cost of a few dollars you can
make your own solar oven to COOK ANYTHING YOU CAN COOK IN A REGULAR OVEN. All
with no burning, no scorching, and no gas or electricity needed.
HOW TO MAKE A SOLAR
WATER DISTILLER:
A solar distiller is basically a simple, waterproof, oblong “box”
that uses the sun’s energy to distill the water (even contaminated
water that contains raw sewage) with a piece of glass on top that the sun
shines through. The distilled water is then rendered safe for drinking and
cooking, with absolutely no contaminants that are found in regular (potable)
water.
HOW TO MAKE A TORNADO
AND HURRICANE RESISTANT HOME:
A Guide for Owner-Builders and Contractors. Proven techniques that only cost
a few hundred dollars to do! Tornado-proof or hurricane-proof your own home,
or the homes you build for others. Surveys done by a college teacher found
that three things existed in ALL the homes that survived such severe storms.
Learn what they are, and how to do it inside this booklet! Also learn how to
make an “In-the-house” storm shelter!
HOW TO DESIGN A PASSIVE
SOLAR HOUSE:
Heat up to 60% of your home with only the sun's energy! Covers what a passive
solar house is, thermal mass, solar orientation, how to find solar south,
glass-to-mass ratios, determining overhangs, Q & A facts, glazing, energy
efficiency, and all for only $1-$2/sq ft. Also learn about how the sun was
utilized in past and present cultures around the world, and how these simple
techniques and concepts that our ancestors knew are still important to us
today.
HOW TO MAKE COOLING AND
HEAT TEMPERING EARTHTUBES:
Cool your house without Air Conditioning! For the cost of a few hundred
dollars you can cool your house naturally and efficiently using no
electricity or pumps, fans, or moving parts. Completely passive, these
earthtubes also provide pre-tempered air to feed any fireplace, woodstove, or
other heater that uses combustible air during winter.
