Construction

Hello followers (our few)! We have made great progress over this reading break as prototype construction is almost finished. We first began by building the frame from treated wood, and then began soldering of the piping system for the collector.

Insulation was carefully cut and glued to the constructed frame, the absorber plate (fins) were then attached to the copper piping and given one coat of flat black high heat-resistant enamel.

All that remains to be completed is sealing the glazing and testing of the prototype. We hope to begin testing our collector within the next couple of weeks.
