Geometry and Transparency: which is more important?
Corin Smith sent me a video clip, which is the first part of this video, looks at nature from geometric and numerological perspect. I find it so important to combine it with a video we made earlier. Watch both parts. Enjoy!

40 years of SolaRoof invention and projects reviewed: from 1973 to 2013
OK, after discussing with Richard Nelson, the inventor of SolaRoof with 6 patents, I have compiled all the videos I can get into this one video. For the DIY project that Harvey Rayner of England did, it is documented as a 2004 project but I miss labeled it as 2006. I am glad that I have found videos showing works between 1973 and 1982. I am working on a story in words, describing how Richard first got the vision and later on got the ideas to take actions on it. More videos on new and ongoing projects will be updated on our site: https://pyrapod.com

DIY: How 2 Convert Your Existing Greenhouse to Utilize Soap Bubbles to Boost Solar Thermal Intake
I have removed in this video the portion comparing the results of conventional Chinese style passive solar greenhouse and Richard Nelson's SolaRoof greenhouse. Too much information. If you need that comparison, please go to https://pyrapod.com/problems-with-traditional-greenhouses-how-to-retrofit-with-solaroof to see it.
This video solely focuses on the conversion, i.e. how to do the retrofit. Once you fully understand how SolaRoof greenhouse works, then the next action is obviously how to build one yourself or how to retrofit it to your existing greenhouse. Do you stilll have the frames sitting there collecting dust and snow? Yes, you can reuse it. Watch this video and you will know how to do it with your existing one out there. Enjoy!
We have a full line of new designs focusing on backyard use. They are much more beautiful than the Chines style. BTW, I am Chinese myself. No insult. Just objective comparison.

SolaRoof 1991: Richard Nelson explaining how soap bubble foam works in his backyard greenhouse
This is a tent like greenhouse with double layer cavity filled with soap bubble foam that can be created and destroyed on demand. It take just a few minutes to fill the cavity and then the foam lasts quite a few hours before it is needed to fill again. It captures solar thermal energy during the day and insulates it to keep it warm.

PyraPOD4 Tall - the smallest greenhouse with SolaRoof
Glad to receive this visualization video from Cedric Born (founder of https://www.fennecfoundry.com and https://www.icone.media ) showing how PyraBox (Bubble Box), PyraShower (Bubble Shower), and PyraPOD4 Tall (P4T) are interchangable. The nice thing is, he found ways to animate how bubbles are produced in all three products and how bubble foam moves in P4T. Video wonderfully made and is short!

PyraPOD8 - Octa, showing how the double layer panels are sectioned and assembled
PyraPOD8 with an octagon footing is sectioned into four quad panels and four X panels. This is especially useful with large scale build so that each panel can be serviced separately if there is a damage to the fabric.

Just got the BubbleBox frame from a metal fabricator in Kelowna, showing what I will do with it
For now I will use it to test build the bubble generator and fine-tune it for optimized performance. In the future, this will be a LEARNING KIT for PyraPOD franchisees or salespersons to learn how everything works and also a DEMO KIT to show others how everything works.
