I also wonder if I can't simulate the effect of clearness index using HOMER.Robert McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270962906437456350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900197.post-1124458640754380592005-08-19T07:37:00.000-06:002005-08-19T07:37:00.000-06:00What about focusing using a lens rather than a mir...What about focusing using a lens rather than a mirror? Couldn't all incident light be focused on a small area, regardless of diffusion? The only problem would be the lower lux, right?Ivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908394344830029455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900197.post-1124251120461967812005-08-16T21:58:00.000-06:002005-08-16T21:58:00.000-06:00Would Sterling be translated as silver I wonder?Would Sterling be translated as silver I wonder?Robert McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270962906437456350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13900197.post-1124248068023177322005-08-16T21:07:00.000-06:002005-08-16T21:07:00.000-06:00Stirling engine.(Have some mercy on poor non-Engli...St<B>i</B>rling engine.<BR/><BR/>(Have some mercy on poor non-English speakers and machine translators.)Engineer-Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420685176098522332noreply@blogger.com
