We’re supposed to have sun for the rest of the week, but it’s never good to take chances with the weather. So, when the sun came out today, we hit the ground running with three solar thermal projects at once. This time, instead of working with complicated, photovoltaic, solar panels, we experimented with harnessing the heat of the sun to expand air, purify water, and turn a pinwheel. Each project was simple to put together, and provided easily observable results, but with lots of little details that could be tweaked, adjusted, or expanded. Really I had a hard time deciding which one to write about first, finally settling on the simple solar chimney, or updraft tower we found archived on the National Research Counsel Canada website. The chimney is made by taping together three, large, empty, clean tin cans, with the tops and bottoms removed. A wire arch (made from an unbent paper clip) is taped across the opening of the top can… …with a thumbtack, or straight pin, taped to the center of the arch, pointing up. The chimney is placed on top of a couple of books, to allow air to flow in from underneath. Finally a pinwheel – made by cutting diagonally in from the corners of a 6 inch square sheet of paper, to within a quarter inch of the center, bending the every other point from the corners to the center, and taping them in place… …is balanced on top of the thumbtack, taped side down. When placed in the sunlight, the heat from the sun will warm the air inside the cans, creating a convective updraft, and spinning the pinwheel. Questions for thought: What would happen if the tower was not on the books? Would a paper tower work in place of cans? Would pinwheels made of different materials, or in different sizes spin faster? What if the tower was painted black? Could enough power be generated by the spinning pinwheel to turn a generator?

Katie Butler / Penne For Your Thoughts II – Focal Point / Black
Katie Butler is a visual artist living and working out of her home in Toronto, Canada. Katie works mainly with acrylics to create colourful and moody figurative paintings. Her love for painting was reignited in 2019, when she began offering commission portraits surrounding themes of body positivity. Since then, her work has pivoted towards the portrayal of candid moments. Katie uses her art as a means for storytelling — depicting scenes where the subject becomes the character of a larger narrative, often through the expressive nature of the human form. Pictured here in a size medium.

Walter Schnackenberg – Ballet und Pantomime “Harlekin”, plate #10.
Walter Schnackenberg’s style changed several times during his long and successful career. Having studied in Munich, the artist traveled often to Paris where he fell under the spell of the Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s colorful and sensuous posters depicting theatrical and decadent subjects. Schnackenberg became a regular contributor of similar compositions to the German magazines Jugend and Simplicissimus before devoting himself to the design of stage scenery and costumes. In the artist’s theatrical work, his mastery of form, ornamentation, and Orientalism became increasingly evident. He excelled at combining fluid Art Nouveau outlines, with spiky Expressionist passages, and the postures and patterns…
