RE: More Power of Convection – A Little Bit of Dreaming
I love your idea dual purpose! I may steal it one day! It would be quite a feat of engineering. I am showing it to my husband in a forward email... hope one day your dream of building it yourself can become a reality. An IBC container would probably work for the upper container and you could use solar as an alternative if need be.
Very enjoyable thoughts,
Melissa
I'm glad you like it! Would love to hear what your husband thinks about it. As for the tank, I think I'd like to have it a bit bigger than an IBC container. But these types of water towers seem to be everywhere... I guess they must have bee made for dug wells where they wanted to elevate it for gravity feeding. It would be great to find a property with one already installed.
He said as cheap as solar is now the motors might be cost prohibitive but he loves the idea of converting one of those towers to a house....Live in the clouds! LOL
