Hi Luane.
Been busy creating a DIY solar collector to stick on the wall of a house to heat it. It's like a thin scaffolding that is wrapped in clear vinyl. Small blower moves air in and draws off heated air at top when the sun warms the air in the big plastic bag.
Also acts as an extra skin over wall of home.
Things are looking up Luane.
Excellent note, Lu. We all have adversity, but the one true fact is that we only actually lose when we give up. We need to let failure try its best to take us down. "Oh no not I. I will survive." is what we must say. We've just got to.
Are the attic vents reopened during the hotter months to alow hot air release?
Most new homes are built with ridge vent systems. Sealing (closing off) these? Added information on solar systems.
JULY 22, 2009—10:32 PM. Luane Todd: Are the attic vents reopened during the hotter months to allow hot air release? Most new homes are built with ridge vent systems. Sealing (closing off) these vents. (The example of how my system functions answers your question)
Hi Tom, The climate where you live will determine how you handle the ridge venting. In a “combination” passive heat/cooling system there are specific aspects of “AIR MOVEMENT” that actually have to occur and enable the system to operate as a passive system. Passive means to react by the natural laws of air movement. If you have watched the smoke rise from a chimney and you lived inside said home you remember the action you had to do to allow the fire to work? The fire went out if you closed the draft and no smoke came out of the stovepipe.
The same principle applies to “Passive Solar heating and cooling”. Your passive solar heating system is operating and you are drawing air into your to be heated by the captive heat generated by the “Energy” captured from solar radiation.
IF you need this heat you simply “SUCK” this heated air into the building living area. The sucking of the attic air from the attic into your living space creates a “POSITIVE” drop in attic pressure which continues pulling outside air into the attic space and continues to pull heat from the inside chamber/roof inside surface and blowing it inside your living area.
Now we address how you cool your passively heated home. When you have warm/heated air in your attic and you now need to cool your inside living area, specific conditions must be present. In the Vancouver project I installed a temperature sensor at the outside of the building near the intake vent to tell the system that there was outside air suitable to “cool” the interior temperature to a pre-established threshold.
This sensor was located 10 inches below the air intake into the attic passive solar heating system. When the pre-established “coolness” was achieved, the system opens the 24” vent in the upper most position on the roof and in the middle of the roof and by this action the attic HOT air rises out through this opening and by that action “SUCKS” in the cool outside air into the attic space. Another sensor in the attic space reacts, when it meets the conditions determined, and “TURNS ON” the suction fan and “SUCKS” the cool air into your home.
You can also have a second sensor in your system which will open the roof vent and simply let fresh air flow in the lower vent and flow out through the top opening. This keeps your attic cool when you don’t require either heat or cooling and keeps any potential heat buildup that could force heat into your living space.
My system is totally passive, no compressors or other means to either heat or cool the air before entering the attic space. My first project in Burlington, Wash. in 1983 first produced “SOLAR HEAT” on Dec 23 rd at 3:00 in the afternoon. I went outside to check the temperature and it was “23” degrees and when I looked at my roof, it was snowing and three inches of snow had collected on my black composition roof!
On this day the attic was producing “65” degree heat and blowing it into my storage building.
Final note: MY solar heating system can produce “HOT” air approaching 100 degrees.
Now you must decide if you want to heat and cool your home, shop or business using electric baseboards, gas furnaces, oil furnaces or those cheap to operate “HEAT PUMPS" that cost thousands to install and last a few years with their added electrical bills?
I have developed land since 1963. A project I developed in 1992 to 1998 created $750,000 in non-taxable income. I simply stumbled on the process when looking at a 5-acre piece of property in Bellingham, Washington area where I had moved to and built a home for my family. The implication of how I undertook required the approval of my CPA of 30 years and confirmation of a second CPA to prepare for the process.
The process is smooth and requires simply seeing through a different set of ideas and the opportunity was available by my realizing what was missing to allow these 15 platted waterfront-building lots to be used. IF interested I can pass on the information and the legal documents created which through an ability to see thing differently, opportunities arise that simply did not exist prior to your seeing it differently.
I agree that small and distributed power generation is crucial for security and sustainability. Of course the big utilities will continue to demand large systems, because that's their current business model - and many industrial customers will continue to buy from them. But change is not impossible. Maybe they could start renting generation equipment to consumers which allows them to afford new tech innovations... Well, just thinking out loud...
Windspire will be featured on a special episode of ABC's "20/20" on June 19th at 10/9C. The episode highlights the impact the new Windspire manufacturing facility is having in Michigan by putting ex-autoworkers back to work.
Ms. Todd thanks for the info. Will give it a read. Our American education system fails in not properly educating students from middle school through high school about economics and political science. European schools do a much better job. Our students are so naive about the world and what makes it go 'round. Peace
So as I understand it a Bond is a loan to the government by the purchaser at a fixed rate of interest with a predictable period to redemption. That's what qualifies it as debt. How did that work with war bonds? The period after WW2 was one of unprecedented economic growth. Soldiers were returning from a decisive victory. Confidence in the USA was high. Housing, industry and the population boomed and some believe the roots of our current dilemma were planted in this acceleration of the post war economy.
Although referencing a period decades later, Greenspan would define this behavior as irrational exuberance, others suspect deceit, greed and regulatory incompetence. Personally I believe it is all of the above, combined with a significant ingredient of apathy, ignorance and complicity in the grass roots who participated, albeit unwittingly, in their own victimization.
By what Ellen says should we conclude that purchasing government bonds during these hard economic times for any purpose, energy or otherwise is not a viable solution? That government bonds are only a legitimate mode of monetary exchange during a growing economy?
If we follow the example of creating credit...in these times when we have almost 12 trillion dollars in debt, where does the money come from? I understand the idea that providing a loan and collecting payments plus interest provides an accumulating cash flow dynamic. However, since the safe is empty at the moment, does the government just print the paper now hoping for prompt and reliable repayment of the loans and collateralization of the original outlay from future generations of taxes?
It seems at some point the money they lend now will have to come from somewhere other then their imagination.
The more I think about our current situation and how the recovery will occur, the more I realize how far above my pay grade this is. I only know that I care about where my children, grandchildren and great-grandson will get the money to pay all this back...especially if they don't have jobs.
Thanks for helping clarify these issues for my old, tired and worn out brain.
Comments are closed tonight on the subject...but this was my follow-up. I'd be very curious to hear her views:
Ms. Brown
I have read the Bill, but must admit, as a carpenter I get rather lost in the theory and regulation of how this would actually work. I wasn't clear that the Bonds would be available for purchase directly by the public. It seemed as if they were being written from the Treasury (AKA the collective Public) to the new GREEN BANK entity. I'm not sure how exactly the repayment would be accomplished.
In that vein a colleague at the Pickens Plan, Michael Shawn Kendall, USN, has proposed creating publicly available Treasury Savings Bonds specifically earmarked for the development of Clean Energy pursuits. He models them on the 1940's War Bond program. The Bonds would be identified categorically for specific projects. For instance, W-Bonds for wind turbine, S-Bonds for Solar projects and so on.
The appealing aspect is that the public would participate in ownership and derive interest income from their investment in the resources which need to be developed to achieve the objectives of independence from foreign oil, rebuilding the economy with the resulting energy related jobs, increase national security and positively affect our environment.
Since the principal investment would come from the grass roots...the Treasury would avoid writing any big checks. I'm not sure exactly how and where the interest payments to Bond holders would come from; but I suppose the source would be similar to US Treasury Savings Bonds.
I know it all sounds too simple...but that may not mean it lacks feasibility. Just a thought.
Luane...Don't you sleep? As you already know...this is Ellen Brown's response to the GREEN BANK question...
The only hitch is, it's being financed with bonds, which means debt. Bonds will evidently be sold to the public on which interest will be paid, driving up the federal debt even further. The better alternative would be to simply create credit on the books of the bank against the projects to be created, using double-entry bookkeeping or accrual accounting. Checks could be drawn against this credit at very low interest or even zero interest to pay for workers and materials. The income from the projects would then return to repay the loans, canceling them out.
Luane
As per your suggestion I have reached out to Ellen Hodgson Brown with this eMail. I'll let you know what transpires.

Ms. Hodgson Brown
We have heard and read recently about a proposed BILL, H.R. 1698, for a government run GREEN BANK. There are a variety of opinions about its purpose, structure and value to the objectives of Clean Energy development and Energy Independence. Some are in favor and some agree with the general idea but have a dim view of the government’s ability to manage a successful outcome.
We respect your views and wonder if you would be willing to advance an opinion.

Luane...stan here. I was daydreaming (quite normal) while painting a wall at the office (I "officially" was laid off today, as they closed the LV network offices), and thought of something. Before moving to Vegas 11 years ago, my wife and I lived in Estes Park, CO (burned a lot of firewood, cut a lot of pine beetle killed trees...I totally relate), which is at about 7500-8,000 feet above sea level. Around the Estes Valley are a lot of 13,000 and 14,000 ft peaks and they are located in Rocky Mountain Nat. Park and, also, Roosevelt Nat. Forest.
Anyhow, there is steady wind year-round in Estes, and sustained winds of 70-90 mph from Nov-March. In the higher elevations, the wind speeds are much greater. In fact, the National Weather Bureau set up a weather station on Trail Ridge Road (highest continuous highway in the world), at about 12,500 feet. The wind gizmo (whirley birdy) did not handle the winds and blew off within a couple of days. My idea is this: In the backcountry of Roosevelt National Forest (which has none of the National Park restrictions), the same wind conditions exist year round. Plus, there are about 300+ days of sunshine each year. I don't know how to find out, but why isn't someone building wind turbines in the National Forest??? The electrical grid runs right through the forest and it seems like a no-brainer. Of course, after listening to Boone's interview with Bill Maher, when he described the overall energy ignorance of the government, it is understandable. However, this is BLM land and somebody is missing out on a great project. A small wind farm could provide electricity for the town (about 10,000 year-round and 40,000 summer residents. Plus, they have a large dam w/lake and it would take virtually no money to put some turbines there (the high voltage wires go directly above the dam, and the town's power plant is located on the other side of the lake. Also, there are geothermal areas around (more on the western slope (Glenwood Springs, Steamboat and a bunch of places I forgot. Since 2010 has been designated the year of action, I think that now would be a great time to explore the possibilities. The Big Thompson River runs right through Estes, as do two other rivers.
Here, 30 miles Northwest of the Strip, there are hundreds of thousands of acres designated BLM, which, in my imigination, could provide solar panels of immense proportions, and with President Obama's new call for limits on solar costs, there is a (no pun intended) gold mine of untapped resources. Also, it seems that if each one of the Strip's and Downtown's tall casino/resort/hotels
would put wind turbines on their roofs, they could power the whole neon circus
that lights up Southern Nevada each night. Once again, there are tons of untapped geothermal resources within 75 miles of Vegas. We used to go out in the areas around Mammoth Mountain, in california, dig holes in the ground and create our own hot tubs. In a way, it's kinda scary...so much power, right below the surface, but it's there for the taking. I just don't get it. Could you maybe educate me about why these things don't happen. I wish I had the money just to build the turbines in the Dam at Lake Estes. I'll bet that I would be turning a profit within a year. Maybe, after listening to Boone, I know as much or more than the people in Congress.....Now THAT'S really scary. All the best, Stan
Luane....I forgot to say that what "MIDI" stands for is "Musical Instrument Digital Interface," which means that, instead of the style using tubes, ribbons, larger circuit boards, etc., instruments (first synthesizers and now just about everything) utilizes chips, which makes them adaptable to computers. a lot of recording is done on computers these days. That's what I've been doing, except that I record digital drums, keys and some instruments (from my synthesizers) and add "live" (analog) instruments that I want to use....like human voice, bass, guitar, some horns. The MIDI instruments are, basically, "recorded" via "sampling" the sounds onto a chip and put in computers in a variety of ways. I dunno, I've been doing this sort of work since '89 when the first programs came out, and have just learned as I went along. One thing I was thinking about in the car design is: with the direct drive,
there's no need for a differential and even the back axle can work as some sort of turbine, can't it? I'll ask my friend Loek when I speak with him (in Holland)
more about what they are doing. He can give me terms with which you would be familiar. Anyway, that's the basic idea of MIDI. It helps the recording process go faster and makes it easy to edit (for videos, commercials, etc.)
I'll send you a crazy MIDI CD I did about ten years ago, or can send you an MP3 attachment of a MIDI song. take care, stan
Luane, To be quite honest, I don't have the mechanical skills to say anything worthwhile about the type of motor I would have. Obviously, it could be either totally electric, or some sort of hybrid. Just from my untrained perspective, it seems like there are so many electric power sources, plus the plug-in, that a
"backup" bio-fuel motor might be unneeded. I don't really know. I have heard that a lot of young folks in Holland have taken old Ducks and converted them, but that is all second-hand. I'm just going to try to learn as much as I can and still work. I finally got the "mini-studio" to add to my MIDI setup, so I can do full productions (audio and video) at home. My friend Vlady, who is a great guy/musician and sound engineer/videographer is working with me and we have a couple of clients. I have always done okay, when working for myself, and seem to end up taking it in the shorts when working for companies. If you want to see the video work he does, check out: www.joyrocks.com the music is sort of teen-age angst rock, but I think his shooting and editing skills are great. Now we have enough gear to make the commercial thing work. there is such a great difference between "electronics" and "electrician."---
and, when it comes to mechanics, I'm quite lost. Hence, I'm just throwing out an "idea," that I hope somebody can use. Thanks for your feedback. You really have your finger on the pulse. take care, Stan
