I am trying to build/create a solar heat conductor to be used for my corn dryer. I wonder if you can help me out with a more effective but inexpensive project to try. mikay0918https://www.blogger.com/profile/06813239997124158746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-13819470689837933942017-03-26T18:49:24.294-07:002017-03-26T18:49:24.294-07:00It was afternoon, and if I remember correctly, it ...It was afternoon, and if I remember correctly, it took 15 to 20 minutes (but it was a while ago, so I'm not positive about the time).An Almost Unschooling Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784076035361200243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-80254067645762452552017-03-26T04:06:49.927-07:002017-03-26T04:06:49.927-07:00This is cool!

You've inspired me again to get going on some solar ideas I had been toying with previously.<br /><br />But even if I had never thought of doing solar experiments, I would want to try the solar updraft. That is so COOL!<br /><br />Thank you for sharing. I always tell people that if they are looking for hands on science projects, they can't do better than your site. :)Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885394458317264217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598841562237715955.post-31992181183377075432015-04-28T04:33:37.453-07:002015-04-28T04:33:37.453-07:00Brilliant!
