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.

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.

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.
