Made some modifications to shellac to improve its brushing qualities. The resulting varnish is very versatile and easy to make, and I'd honestly recommend trying it out if you do any sort of woodworking.

Significantly improved formulas for rosin glue, paste wax, and my aluminum-zinc alloys.

Updates to my wood stain and iron gall ink articles, including improved application methods for the stain, and fountain pen compatibility for the ink.

Significant improvements to my various oil-based coatings, including a fast-drying tung oil varnish and the possibility of using it to make light-colored enamel paints.

Turning blueprints into a creative process led to some minor improvements to earlier materials and methods. The camera is fun too, of course.

Low-tech solar power! Not very efficient, but very interesting.

Your project seems to have some parallels with this forgotten solar panel : https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2021/10/how-to-build-a-low-tech-solar-panel/

That article is actually where I started my research! Unfortunately it seems that George Cove exaggerated many of his claims about his panels, including their efficiency. For example, I was unable to observe any photovoltaic effect in zinc antimonide, contrary to what the article claims. Furthermore, the number of junctions in his panels is what you'd expect from a purely thermoelectric device. Pretty disappointing.

Made a couple of minor edits to my paint and varnish articles, and at this point the website is up to date.

Apologies for the long delay; I was busy with work, but am now able to return to my projects. Over the coming days I will publish a few edits to older articles, before picking up where I left off with thermoelectric materials.
