Great to see your site and where you will be living. Your project sounds amazing. I hope all is well and look forward to keeping up with your travels on the website. You should take a week off and come visit us in Kenya (or maybe we can surprise you down there!)

Dear Libby,

I read your blog and would like to help. We at the Renewable Resource Institute of Namibia are dealing with challenges like yours.
I can introduce you to UTEP which has been generating 100Kwe on a 24/7 basis for 15 years using a solar pond as the collector. Unlike your troughs, with this low tech solution, you would have reliable power. I would guess you would build the pond your selves

Dear Libby,
We are working on Solar Power for Namibia. In the course of our research I found the University of Texas at ElPaso(UTEP) website. They have been generating 100Kwe for the past 15 years from a 0.5 hectare solar pond. They use an organic rankine turbine with R114 as the fluid.
This method generates 24/7 power.

CIAO!

Hi,
Came across your blog and I love it! I spent some time at the BBCDC several years ago, and I really enjoy hearing about your work there. Also, the pictures are great. Please keep up the postings!

Libby, you are half way to writing a best-seller book! This is an amazingly rich encounter on so many levels.
