Don't stop sharing (soon I will need solar air conditioning)

[DigitalDreams]

It seems that since the weather has moderated this section has kinda got dead.

Just because it's getting above -30 don't stop posting ideas and what you have discovered , because winter will be back sooner than you think(hoping for global warming).

Has anyone seen the information on building a solar panel powered air conditioning system ,you know one that works on the same principal as the old gas refrigerators ,I did somewhere and now I can't find it.
It used sunlight producing heat to create cold like the gas fridges used flame to produce cold , or like the rv 3 ways use.

Also has anyone tried the concave mirror approach to make a solar boiler from a old metal satellite dish,I found a guy in minnesota around the twin cities that makes reasonable priced solar tracking
hardware and I know for a fact the heat generated at the focal
point of a metal 8 foot dish will melt aluminum, because I replaced
a few electronics in my day on them cause someone accidently had theirs line up with the sun and stay there long enough to melt down the feed horn.

Had the first link saved in my bookmarks. The other two I found by following links from the first one.

There isn't any "How To" plans but could get you pointed in the right direction in finding information.
