@Hankc100 So far we are still having enough passive solar heat and light that the fan hasn't had to make a difference. I think in the next two weeks I should be able to make an assessment for the night temps. I have my first plants making their "debut" in the greenhouse for the fall. A tomato plant, lettuce, and some herbs that I have just planted. All great right now.
It should keep the greenhouse cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter by circulating air through the sink and up into the greenhouse. Part II will show us putting the fan on the piping. A solar panel and battery will power the fan. We will also have a couple lights.
Quite impressive, and viewers need to realize this was done in 90* temperatures. (Uh, what's this heat sink thingamabob supposed to do? I kept hoping for a brief explanation of its purpose.)
Hi, How's the heat sink working?
