Subject: [alt-beam] Re: Solar Engine
Evan, This was my very first solar engine (at the time I didn't even
realize what the BEAM reference was all about) and to this day it is
happily ticking away on my window sill. Sorry, but I never did evaluate
it's efficiency.... You'll have to let us know what you find out.
