  • I enjoy your video instructions. At your convenience, I think you should shoot a video on the construction of your vibrating work table, that your refer to in your videos. So those of us who follow your videos and want to build solar panels can construct them properly with the assistance of the use of a vibrating table and how its built and where to get the parts. Looking forward to seeing your video on the vibrating work table. Thanks, Dave

  • @sodbuster1x I will try to shoot one soon. I just used a old 1/4 hp motor and welded a off set weight to the shaft. It is realy simple. Mark

  • Thinking about the heat issue - could you devise a pool heater setup? Running a pump through a hose underneath your array, to reduce the heat of the panels and increasing efficiency? Just a thought...

  • @DesignCBTs You will use more power with the pump than you will save. Mark

  • @markp0177 couldn't you use some sort of back flow valve so when the water heated up at the back of the panel it would push forward on it's own so you wouldn't need a pump

  • @Bonznumber1 Yes you could use a closed loop system and then it would work on a thermo siphon. But it is a lot of trouble.

  • Your videos are probably the best, most thorough I've reviewed - Thanks for the fantastic work!!!

  • @onebigkahuna69 Well maybe. I have never tried it. I don't know how it will hold up after 20 years.

  • Just wondering if you could use automotive clearcoat and spray it on.its a good uv protectant.?you might have to spray it on pretty wet but i think it could work.?
