Hi, I came here because you left a comment on 2 of my PSG videos. The salt used changes phase at 32c, that's pretty high for a greenhouse so I'm confused how it's phase change will be of use? Also I assume you're going to install more barrels and not just one? Additionally I'm confused as you have solid walls all round, how will you make use of the low angle of sunlight in winter? Thanks.
Hey thanks for coming to my channel! We are going to install 14 more 25 galloon drums of the glauber salt. I just need to find a source to deliver it in bulk because I ordered the first batch in 25 lb increments. I am not sure about the 32c point of phase change. I am following the guidelines of someone who has built a few of these off a grant from the US Department of Energy.
Honestly, it is a concept build. I would have built it longer and wider to arrive at a different angle on the roof if I could. The angle of the roof is currently based on the latitude of where I live.
Ahh good idea, thank you. We painted the first south wall black for this purpose. The first south wall is a foot thick rammed earth wall and it is covered in the video by the 2nd south wall of poly carbohydrate sheets.
