Default Low capital solar for low temperature space heating?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mark" saying
something like:

They're full of **** and take the credit for others' work.


Quite possibly, it was just a pointer to something that would produce heat
at 9am on a freezing winter's morning, rather then DIY solar, which would
not.


Fwiw, I'd recommend a bit of digging around and start off with a couple
of yahoo groups; vegoilburners and wastewatts to name but two. There's a
pile of info on this sort of stuff; here's a starter...

recommend the Military Heater on ebay thread (heavy going, but worth it)
and also look for stuff from Tim C Cook there too.
Google for Steve Spence's site - he's got a lot of stuff going.
