Hello folks,

this passage have caught my eye:

Now, after reading this, I remembered, that there are thermaly driven
refrigerators. And this lead me to the idea: to have a thermally
driven air conditioner. It seams perfectly reasonable for homes with
the solar in mind, _not_ to do air conditioning through this process:
solar--(photovoltaic panel)--electricity--(air conditioner)--cooling
but through this process:
solar--(thermal collector)--heat--(heat driven AC)--cooling

This eliminates the inefficient and costy solar energy conversion into
electricity; quite a few houses have thermal panels for water heating
already, so this method of AC might also use them...


Has anyone here encountered such a beast?


PS sorry, a little bit off-topic, but hey, still interesting...

These stoves... I saw a lot of people in Sierra Leone use kerosene stoves to 
cook with everyday Something to think about

I  downloaded  the still.pdf and sent it to Jonathan and while looking
at  the  plans for the thing I came across the boiler section in which
they  say that the boiler has to be either electric or propane/natural
gas.

That  got me to thinking.  The Amish use kerosene stoves.  I don't see
why  a  kerosene  stove couldn't be used using biodiesel as fuel.  Any
ideas on this?

Yup - more than just ideas. There's a picture here of a kero doing 
just that (scroll down to The pre-heating tank):
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_processor10.html
Journey to Forever 90-litre processor

It works really well - better than on kerosene, if anything.

There's some discussion of it here:
http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/35611/1
Ok, so you got a fancy dancy stove that uses biodiesel and we are
now all drooling, so, do you also have a contact adress/website
where we can get one too? Please? Ta!

The Amish use pressure stoves like this one don't they Gustl? Would 
Lehman's stock them? I don't see one at their site:

I   have   never   seen  the  Amish  using pressure stoves of any kind
although I have seen them using the pressure lamps for lighting.   But
in  this  area we only have Swiss and Old Order Amish and a few Beachy
Amish  who  use  electricity,  phones and autos.   I can't speak as to
what the Renno, Nebraska, Swartzentruber or other Amish groups use.

I have seen them using kerosene refrigerators and freezers though.

The  next  time  I am by my Amish brethren I will ask them about where
they  get  their kerosene stoves.  I would almost bet it would be down
in Indiana among the Old Order Amish there.  It is sometimes difficult
to  find  their  stores because they have them often in their homes.
My friend Jake Eicher has a store in his home but he doesn't sell such
items.   He  will  surely  know where to find kerosene stoves.  As for
kerosene refrigerators...just outside Shipshewana, Indiana there is an
Amish  fellow who sells reconditioned and used kerosene refrigerators.
North  side  of  US20 but I don't remember which farm.  I will have to
ask Orva Miller.  That is a drive though.  Next time I head that way I
will remember to ask Orva and then report back.
