Dear John:

We are a Chinese manufacture of high quality solar lanterns

Our solar lanterns passed CE,ROHS,FCC testing, with one year of guarantee.

It has cell phone charging and radio functions;has two settings of brightness, the light source is super-bright imported Epistar LEDs, can be used as reading light or living room light;it is portable, convenient and simple to use, no any professional knowledge about solar energy is required.

It’s really good for the rural or remote areas where grid electricity is inaccessible.

Hello Jon,
we spoke briefly here about doing an article for Irish newspapers on the Kyoto Box. I will be in Kenya from March 28th until April 14th and will most likely spend the night of Wednesday 31st in either Thika or Mwingi. I wonder would it be convenient if we could meet for a short interview? I won't take much of your time.

Dear Jon,

Salvo Global has launched a Masterclass that targeted at Engineers and other technical staff who do not have formal training in financial management, but who require a better understanding of the concepts of cost management and capital project evaluation. In addition, the related concepts of profits, assets, productivity and profitability will be addressed.

We really wish Engineers or Technical experts like you could spare time to attend this Masterclass

I have contacts at Bandung Uni Indonesia and more across all SE Asia.

Hello Jon,
I help run an eye-testing program near the village of Nuu (not far from Mwingi) and have discussed a trial program for the Kyoto Box with our partners from a religious community.
The way I see it is this; the religious community involved have projects running all over the world in areas of great need - ideal locations for the Kyoto Box to benefit communities to their utmost. I have said that on my next visit I will source samples for them to distribute through their communities and it will then be in their hands how to proceed.
Anything which stops deforestation in Kenya and other places has to be good.
I'm sure you've been asked a million times but here it goes again... where can I get hold of the boxes in Nairobi or elsewhere?
Many thanks

It seems so in the short run but long term, if there is a significant net positive production of electricity while using the roofs of the houses in a neighborhood, lets say,to produce it, the cost would be spread out over a very long period into the future.
Wind mills are a producer of electricity, indirectly from the sun, but that is all they do.
The long term transition to fully solar electricity is, in my mind, comming soon so I will continue working on incorporateing it into our daily lives.
Thank you for your insight / best of success for the future.
Sincerely,
Lewis

Thanks Jon for commenting back.

Well the Idea I have been experimenting with came about in an interesting way.
My son & I built a 200 square foot storeroom on our farm & since we as a company distribute & install window film (Tinting), we decided to make the roof out of glass & put the Silver film ,that rejects 80% of the suns heat, on the glass roof. The building was great but got too hot, so we decided to put sides on the glass roof & keep water up on top of the roof like a shallow fishtank for a roof. It did make the room cooler but we noticed how hot the water got.
The idea that has precipitated out of this is to build a system of these shallow fish-tank like structures with a layer of silver mirrow film on the outside layer of the glass followed by a completely black layer on the outside of the silver layer. These layers reflect the sunlight back into the water & the light that goes through the silver film will be absorbed & radiated back into the water by the completely black layer of window film.
The different chambers of the system would become increasingly shallow so as to allow the water to step up in temp. all the way to boiling by going into successively shallower pools. This super hot water would then be stored in a highly insulated tank & used in a micro steam turbine which would use electricity from the grid to run the turbine but would pump more electricity back into the grid than it used during the final heating of the water in the micro steam turbine.
In this way, the rooftops of buildings can be used to create electricity.
The maintaining of the water on the roof also makes the building much easier to heat or cool.
Thats it in a nutshell.

Jon,
I have come up with a system of converting sunlight into electricity using similar ideas to those used by you guys in your oven. It is very cheap to produce. Maybe we could team up. Do you have patents?
