Random Thought Thread

The Kuk got 91 votes in the pre-order poll and at the time of posting this, the claimants are at #94, so discounting posts #1,2 & 3 which are Nathan's and Jo's, there are 91 all together so far.

Another totally useless piece of info brought to you, by me 🤣

Oh well, my fame only lasted like 3 seconds, kinda like me 🤭

I wonder if I can pump those numbers up… 🤔
 
And in today’s example of silly experiments, and “If it’s dumb, but it works, then it’s not dumb…”

I was curious to see if I could reduce the electricity usage in hotter weather (going to be in the 90s the next few days).

The sun BAKES the roof and the western facing brick wall, and I noticed those absorb (and store) a lot of heat, and radiate it inside, even when ambient night time temperatures drop into the 60s.

Used corroplast (corrugated plastic) to put up a solar reflector/barrier over the brick wall. Notable drop in heat absorption.

Decided to see what putting a sprinkler on the roof would do. 10 minutes and it dropped the roof’s temperature about 20f.

Hmmm… maybe not the most eco friendly solution, but if it results in less power draw for the a/c…
