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

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.
