Please insure your TimeLox card is recalibrated as there have been updates while you were away.

This site may only be accessed while in parallel universe 888. You will need to utilize a 4D TimeLox card for inter-dimensional access.Pleas note our name change. The program directive has changed as well. Go you now, beyond the basics

We try to build and sample every new oven design we encounter. You will learn and enjoy more if you do the same. Identity as an Alternate Technology Engineer will require this data.

Some work better than others. Where the wind is too strong for the cardboard models, you can build using any available materials. Consider these wooden units constructed in the desert of New Mexico, USA.

Some work like solar crockpots (the box designs). Some are great for making pizzas, and "solar smores". See the recipes below.

For now, we will put, what are to us, interesting links.

As the saying goes, "Keep coming back".... Please recalibrate your TimeLox card on each visit. J&J.

Recipes

Solar Smores - great for demonstrations.

• (a) Build your smores open-faced.
• (b) Place in oven.
• (c) Watch the chocolate melt.
• (d) Serve hot and gooey!

  Do Not Go Gentle Into the Night.. J&J

  'And God said, "Let there be light!"

  Since then, we have had, and used, solar energy. Yet, folks still think of it as a "new" idea.

  Solar clothes dryers are against the law.

  More than 50,000 homeowner associations have banned clotheslines.
  They may save the environment, but they bring down housing values.

  Simple Solar Water Heater.

  Lay your garden hose out in the yard.

  Simple Solar-Heated House.

  Open your south-facing curtains and blinds.

  A little common sense will take us a long ways. Welcome to my site. Keep coming back and I will teach you a little solar history and will soon bring you some simple solar devices such as solar cookers and solar battery chargers.

  
  

  Just a little common sense from other sources.

  Now in houses with a south aspect, the sun's rays may penetrate into the porticios in winter, but in summer, the path of the sun is right over our heads and above the roof, so there is shade. If then this is the best arrangement, we should build the southside loftier to get the winter sun and the northside lower to keep out the winter winds. To put it shourtly, the house in which the owner can find a pleasant retreat at all seasons and can store his belongings safely is presumably at once the pleasantest and the most beautiful.
  who wrote this, you ask? Socrates in Xenophon's Memorabilia

  And how about this little "eye-opener" from Helen Kellar
  Keep your face to the sunshine, and you cannot see the shadows.
