Illustrations
Up one levelIllustrations of our passive solar house plans, sustainable homestead plans, geodesic domes, solar hot water heaters, and more.
- Batch Collector
- This is a diagram of our homemade solar hot water heater. It is refered to as a batch collector because the sun's energy if constantly focused on the entire storage tank.
- Electrolysis
- This is an illustration of the chemical process of electrolysis in which electricity is used to split water into separate molecules of hydrogen and oxygen.

- Geodesic Dome Cover
- Geodesic dome cover plans and patterns.
- Geodesic Domes 2V 3V 4V
- In the process of building our geodesic dome tent we used dome formulas to create a 2V geodesic dome. These diagrams compare geodesic domes 2V, 3V, and 4V.
- Hot Water Systems
- Diagrams of solar hot water heating systems. These were prepared for the Alternative Energy Club as part of the "Intro to Solar Hot Water" presentation.
- House Plans
- Passive solar house plans and diagrams of our sustainable homestead.
- Land Survey
- Illustrations from our survey of the land.
- Power System Diagrams
- Illustrations of off grid power systems. Our system is powered by several solar panels, with storage batteries to provide electricity at night.
- Seasonal Changes of the Sun
- A diagram showing the seasonal paths of the sun.
- Garden Map
