Active build experiment: a CMC-gelled Glauber's-salt PCM panel in twin-wall polycarbonate off-cuts (build path 1). Purpose is to fill the literature gap — no documented, MEASURED a…
Next: Build the CMC-gelled Glauber's-salt panel in twin-wall PC off-cuts per the protocol, populate the measurement log (diurnal + weekly), then promote results into references/diy-pcm-encapsulation as a 'Measured build' section.
Active build experiment: the SAFE water-refrigerant adsorption cooling demonstrator (two valved vessels under vacuum, no toxic/flammable refrigerant). Purpose is to learn leak-tigh…
Next: Build the safe two-vessel zeolite/silica–water demonstrator per the protocol, populate the cooling-stroke + cycle logs, then promote results into references/diy-adsorption-chiller as a 'Measured build' section.
Three sources that would close the last quantitative gap on translucent-PCM glazing (numeric ASTM-style haze + long-term optical durability) were Cloudflare/paywall-blocked to WebF…
Next: Via institutional/library access, retrieve the 3 blocked papers below, extract their haze / yellowing numbers, and update translucent-pcm-glazing.md (haze & cycle-durability section).
Geometric blackness (shape-based light trapping — V-groove / 60° cavities) has a genuine second application on the SUN-FACING FACE of a direct/intermittent solar adsorption ice-mak…
Next: Researched (see thesis) — verdict CONTRADICTED as framed. Do NOT build the grooved-optical version. If the bed face is to be improved optically, use a spectrally-selective coating (α≥0.95, ε≈0.05); if face geometry is pursued at all, treat it as a bed heat-transfer test (developed area), not light trapping.
The Fahrenheit eCoo vendor source (fahrenheit.cool) refuses automated WebFetch (ECONNREFUSED), so /wiki:refresh cannot auto-verify it. The site is live (bot-blocking, not a dead li…
Next: On each refresh of commercial-adsorption-chillers, manually re-check the Fahrenheit eCoo lineup (browser, not WebFetch) and update the raw source if specs/models changed.
