memorabilia for future

generations

TOE MOTHER EARTH NE Wg ^^*THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS is * o' THE MOTHER EARTH NEWS me MOTHER S AMAZING FIN PRESS

Here's a simple-to build device that'll enable you to construct all the heat-catching fins you'll need for most any homemade solar water heater ... out of free-for thegathering tin soda or soup cans! (Actually, even if you decide to make your sheeting out of more expensive copper, you'll still want to use our research staff s c|ever invention—MOTHER'S Fin Press-to help you establish the maximum heat-transfer-ring surface contact between your water pipes and your collector s fins.I MOTHER'S Amazing Fin Press was invented to help those people who want lo build homemade sun gatherers achieve good efficiency without having to hire a machinist to groove the fins. The bottom section of MOM's two-piece unit consists ol a seven-inch length of 3/8' copper pipe (or 1/2* wooden dowell that's been set-to a depth of slightly less than half its diameler-into a side-walled block. The top piece is little more than another block that's been grooved to fit over the baseboard s projecting pipe. To work the fin shaper, simply position a flat, precut piece of copper or tin on the base, put the cap over it. and push down. Presto! You have one grooved

fin ready to cradle a bit of collector pipe!

MOTHER'S Fin Press can be made in only a few minutes out of scrap pipe and lumber bits, and is simplicity itself lo construct. The accompanying illustrations show you what the "Kin Form ' looks like so you can construct your owm HoWever. if you need a more detailed diagram, the free reprint mentioned at the end of the column will provide you an in-depth plan for constructing the fin form (as well as directions fbr actually using the fins to make a solar collector!). _ P To turn free soup or soda cans into sun-snagging fins, just cut both the lids and the end rimn off your scrounged cylinders with an electric—or manually-cranked, wall-fastened—can opener (hold the tins in a horizontal, rather than vertical, position when you do this). Then-using steel wool or a propane torch-buff or burn off the metal's protective coaling. Cut each can down the middle (see illustration II. trim the sheet to a flat 5-1)2’ X 6" shape . . and groove it on the fin press (see illustrations 2 and 3). ...... . When you're ready to secure a fin to some pipe, just lay the shaped tin on two fireproof boards (or blocks, or bricks) placed side by side with a pipe width s space he tweefi them (see illustration 4). Nestle the fin's curved center section into the gap. set your collector pipe into position, hold it in place with any heavy-nonflammable -weight (to increase sheet-to-pipe contact), and then solder the two metals together. Add more fins to your pipe—by laying out the grooved sheets, weighting, and soldering—until you've completed your platemaking . then buff of f any extra-flux along the length of the pipe ^ When all that's done, you'll have finished u crucial landpften the most expensive) step of your home-designed solar collector assembly . . and the cost for all your fins

will be a grand total of zero dollars and zero cents!
