Permaculture Organic, Nutrient Dense, Smart Farming for Highest Health
Often old dead lead acid batteries may be too damaged to start a vehicle, but may be revived and suitable enough for solar recharge to run small devices around the property. Such as security cameras, lights, sensors, mobile phones, small pumps, irrigation solenoids, wifi relays, smart IoT, Raspberry Pi’s, etc.
This may be a highly dangerous method and should not be attempted without full awareness of all the risks and safety gear and precautions to avoid injury and explosions.
Infrared Cooling Paint, using home made ingredients, reflects maximum radiant heat, directed upwards back towards the sky and the cold of outer space. Keeping objects behind it cooler than ambient temperature.
Practical applications could include cold storage rooms, or protect heat sensitive devices.
Using residual solar electricity to heat a common 240v oil radiator.

A water tower placed at the highest point on the land or rooftop, is needed for gravity fed water pressure. Reducing energy use.
Continue reading “Water Tower”Thermal Energy Storage – TES. Sand is cheap, readily available and can be used to store thermal energy at much higher temperatures upto 1000°c, compared to water limited at 100°c turning to steam. With sand slowly releasing that heat, as a thermal mass.

Solar hot water: is more efficient than heating water electrically. A large well insulated hot water storage tank is also one of the best storage batteries for heat/cold. This could be coupled with a thermal Sand Battery for longer heat storage/transfer.
Continue reading “Water Heating”Electricity generated from solar is either immediately used or stored for later use, during nights or on days in times of extended cloud cover, or when appliance peak loads need to consume larger currents all at once.
