I had planned a "how to assemble" video but needed to take this one apart to coat the ribs. I thought I would do this dry run of the setup. I decided that making you watch me take out each screw (41 in total) would be boring, so I sped up time by taking only one pic every six seconds and then combining it into this stop-motion video (10 minutes in 3.25 seconds)
A new version: simpler, lighter weight, cheaper, stronger, easier to source materials, optional vacuum insulated collector and reflector support bearings for high latitude winter season use.
Raw video, from my phone. This is what I am currently working on.
Heads up: the shoutbox will be retiring soon. It’s tired of working, and can’t wait to relax. You can still send a message to the channel owner, though!
