They still make these?…A hand washer? That sounds like a lot of work. Not with the James Washer. Simply let the clothes soak in hot soapy water, then just a few minutes of swishing the pendulum agitator back and forth does a normal load. Made of high-grade stainless steel with a galvanized lid and pine legs.

Cool…Canadian made, handcrafted piston fan runs off the heat of your woodstove. The secret of the Free Breeze fan is a small stirling engine housed in the square base of the unit. Stirling engines have been around for decades but no one has ever come up with a marketable way to use them. They consist of a sealed chamber that expands quickly when heated and contracts when it cools

Looks promising…In this issue I will address another form of “free” water pumping. There are many remote applications where a solar-powered water pump is more cost effective than installing a conventional grid-connected AC pump.
I recently designed a solar-powered pumping system for a local farmer wanting to pump water from a lake up to a watering trough for cattle in a distant fenced field. We have also designed larger systems to pump directly from drilled wells up to elevated storage tanks, which provide gravity-fed water back down to remote ranch buildings. -

Need to install a new shallow well system. I would appreciate any advice on driving the well point, and recomendations on which pump and tank to buy. The neighbors have similar systems, and believe they are 20 to 25' deep. Does anyone know of a how-to website for shallow wells?
