Yes! And hey, in the early days of highspeed, when the notion of
broadband was just emerging, there was a 3d online format that showed
promise--what was it called? Jeez, where's my brain this morning?
I work in 3d pretty much on a daily basis, and it seems like there was a
format that mandelbrot engines like Lightwave could render to,
specifically for webshow. God, what was it called . . . ?
(Don't you LOVE posts like mine? "His brain is obviously draining").
THAT being said, watch out for black ABS as a solar collector, IIRC it
is not UV-resistant and will break down,
and in that exposure may offgas too.
Good hit. Makes sense. ABS is made to go underground, where there
ain't a lot of UV.
The shower I mentioned is fairly primitive and meant to be used
outdoors--pretty much your classic nude hippy commune shower.
I loved it 'cause you could just go down the plumbing aisle at Jerry's
and buy everything you need for < $20--but it seems like there's no
reason you couldn't use a bit better grade of plastic pipe, and, once it
was assembled, just spraypaint it flat black.
Surf around for burning man solar
systems, there's a wide variety,
Of course... Should have thought of that. (Isn't burning man the nexus
and natal point for all--read "decent"--emerging technology?).
sorry for all the OT stuff folks, I hope you find it in the spirit of
DIY and open-sourced knowledge,
Copacetic...
Got plans for a solar shower that's made of black ABS pipe. Total cost
less than twenty bucks. Remember the ole hippy saw, "people's prices?"
